Lo-Fi Pop | Circuit Tracks

video upload by Warm synths

"​I sat at the table with the Circuit Tracks. The light stretched across the plastic casing. I turned the filter knob and the heavy bass vanished. The room suddenly felt empty, like someone had moved the furniture out. Sometimes I want to roll off the low end of everything else, too.

In The Air Tonight (CR-78 Circuit Tracks version)

video upload by Guinan

"Like many others around the world I watched the moody trailer for Rockstar's billion dollar GTA6 game yesterday.

As a result, I've had the iconic Roland CR-78 drum pattern stuck in my head all day.

(Just for fun) This was my way of clearing it out of my head (CR87 samples and Novation synthwave pack).....it just has to go downhill once the drum break comes in though ;) apologies drum fans....(cue rapid fade).....

The arrangement is a very loose representation of the original....

More details for synth nerds
BPM 98
Based on Novations free Synthware sound pack.
Added some CR78 samples, and a distorted guitar chord sample (triggered as a drum hit on Drum 4)
Everything you hear was played live off the Tracks. I was determined to not use ANY other synths so all the melody and pads are played on the same two intruments.

Full song is downloadable here,

Have fun....stay tuned."

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.

Soft Signals- Dawless Performance with Novation Circuit Tracks and Novation Circuit Rhythm

The Evolving Riddle V2 by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"New album out now:



This track was made on a Crumar DS2 from 1978

As one’s life winds its way through the corridors of infinite time and space, I find myself relocated and reset, so to speak, in a place many miles and many moons from the West Country—my former domain—in one of the shires just north of our splendid capital

And I find myself once again following my musical instincts down yet more labyrinthine sonic rabbit holes and through yet more labyrinthine electronic circuit boards

On this outing I decided to try my hand at live sound-on-sound improvisational looping, a method of composition I find particularly rewarding when using relatively unwieldy modular synthesiser systems. The act of looping provides a convenient way of setting down short compositions in real time, allowing simple melodic studies to be created, riddles, if you will, to be solved whilst sitting at the instrument’s console and engaging with the various dials and switches

The core device used on this recording is what I call the Concrete Box - an assortment of Eurorack modules I put together consisting of four loopers, two delays, two digital reverbs, two compressors and various mixers and utility units. Using this box of tricks I was able to run sounds around upon themselves, creating the pieces you hear on this album

Not all tracks were made this way, some took a more conventional path, namely those which made use of polyphonic keyboard synthesisers (the Ensoniq Fizmo, the Crumar DS2) where I simply recorded a few layers of sound one upon the other

And on one track I made use of a rather special device called the Tempera, alongside a regular acoustic piano. The device is able to take stereo recordings and resynthesise them using granular synthesis. You are then able to layer them and manipulate the sound in a great variety of ways. Practical applications of granular synthesis have been around since the mid 1990s, but it is only now, it seems, that dedicated hardware units are beginning to appear on the market, and they seem to be taking hold as an extremely interesting synthesis path

And so it is that these riddles I have been working on have been neatly packaged up for you in this second volume, itself a kind of evolution of the idea presented in the first of the series last year. And who knows where I will find myself in another year’s time - hopefully still diving down sonic rabbit holes and exploring labyrinthine electronic circuits

Synthesisers and recording equipment used on this album:

ARP 2500
Buchla 100
Buchla 200 (cloned)

Deep Forest Ambience: Dawless Jam with Novation Circuit Tracks

video upload by Live Synth

"Music born in the silence of the forest. 🌲 In this video, I headed into the wild to record a live set on the Novation Circuit Tracks. Pure dawless: just the synth, inspiration, and the sounds of nature. No plugins or post-processing—just the raw sound captured on the Zoom H1 Essential. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere with me.

Additional Perfect Circuit listings

via Ranger FX:

"The Snare Trap is a drum machine you play guitar or synth/keyboards through! It’s designed to be used either on the desktop – by hand – or on the floor – by foot. The drum sounds are bass drum, snare, and hi-hat, and these can be individually triggered externally by a CV – so it’s very useful for modular synthesists.

No Plan, Just Sound | Live Hardware Jam with Ableton Move × Circuit

video upload by microMarie

"Tonight was something different: no prepared DJ set, no finished tracks — just the Ableton Move, Novation Circuit and a lot of improvisation.

I built loops, switched between both machines and tried to turn spontaneous ideas into a live electronic performance. Not everything was planned, not everything was perfect — but that is exactly what makes a hardware jam exciting.

Expect melodic moments, driving drums, changing grooves and a few chaotic experiments along the way."

Groovebox MIDI Reactive VJ - HTML Video Synth Test

video upload by space fever

via Space Fever:

"I would like to submit a small independent synth-related visual tool I made.

It is a MIDI-reactive VJ / HTML video synth designed for grooveboxes and hardware setups. It runs in a browser and reacts to incoming MIDI CC / clock data, making it useful for live electronic music, acid techno, groovebox jams, and hardware-only performances.

Product page: https://spacefever.booth.pm/items/8528673

The concept is to keep the setup simple: a groovebox or MIDI controller sends MIDI data, and the browser-based visual synth generates reactive glitch/noise-style visuals without needing a full VJ software environment.

It may be of interest to readers who use grooveboxes, MIDI hardware, DIY performance tools, or browser-based visual instruments."

M5Stack Acid Generator in there as well.
