Syntakt 1.40 – 7 Power-Ups That Completely Redefine It

video upload by Sineway

"Syntakt firmware 1.40 just dropped - and yes, it plays samples now. But that's not the real story.

After spending serious time with this firmware, I found 7 power-ups that completely change what this machine is capable of. We're talking new oscillator colors, evolving morph engines, harmonic stacking with real instrument samples, character layering that captures the soul of your synths, track linking with analog filter routing, stereo filter panning, and performance upgrades that make jamming more intuitive than ever.

This isn't about drum one-shots. This is about what sampling unlocks for sound design, harmony, and musicality on a machine that already had serious creative depth.

All sounds in this video come from my own sample library recorded from my synthesizers — including the Novation Peak, Sequential Fourm, and Arturia AstroLab 37. The full sample pack and project files are available on my Patreon.

Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Novation Circuit Tracks & Rhythm

video upload by Underground Modulation

"🔥 Dawless Techno Groovebox Jam | Novation Circuit Tracks + Circuit Rhythm

In this video I perform a live dawless techno jam using a powerful hardware setup built around Novation Circuit Tracks and Novation Circuit Rhythm.

These two grooveboxes perfectly complement each other in a combo setup. Both Circuits handle rhythmic and melodic elements, allowing for a dynamic and evolving techno arrangement.

🎛 Novation Circuit Tracks – synth parts, basslines, and groove structure
🥁 Novation Circuit Rhythm – drums, textures, and custom samples for unique character

The Circuit Rhythm features custom samples.

This is a true DAWLESS performance — everything is sequenced and performed live directly on the Novation Circuits. Final mastering was done in Ableton Live to ensure clarity, punch, and balanced dynamics."

Oberheim TEO 5 / Volca Bass / Circuit Tracks - Dawless Cinematic Electronica

video upload by Scott Nellé - Plague Society

"This is a dawless cinematic electronica track, sequenced on the Novation Circuit Tracks. It features the Oberheim TEO-5 as a pad and the Korg Volca Bass making a couple of bass sounds.

In addition to sequencing the whole track, the Circuit Tracks plays drums with samples from my collection and also a supplemental string lead and pluck. I really enjoy the Circuit. For such an affordable device it's really a powerful centerpiece for a dawless setup. It also handles effects for the Oberheim and Volca Bass on this track.

The Oberheim TEO-5, my newest and biggest synth, plays a pad here with a patch that I designed. The patch uses both oscillators and most of the waveforms, with plenty of modulation to give it some extra analog vibe. The patch is called "Just Swell" and I think it sounds pretty cool. This is a really fun synth to design sounds on. It's super straightforward and there are lots of modulation options. I'm looking forward to exploring it in more depth.

The Volca Bass is used for two sounds here. Initially it plays a very staccato bassline, and later I switch on the sustain an it plays more off a gliding line that almost verges into lead territory.

I sat with this track for a long time, adding more and more stuff until I decided it worked better as a more stripped back arrangement. All of the individual parts ended up really simple, but I hope they play off each other to create something interesting. Let me know what you think!"

Blue Monday/New Order (Circuit Tracks Revision)

video upload by Guinan

"Almost! It's another Monday, so what could be more apt than todays 1983 New Order classic, Blue Monday.

As per usual this is ALL Novation Circuit Tracks playing live from the audio outs direct into my Zoom L6 recorder. No extra synths/no effects/no extra edits.

This is a revision of a version I did about 12 months ago. There is a lot going on in this track so I've squeezed a bit extra out of the groovebox in using some short melodic samples in place of drum sounds on 3 pads.

I'd initially dug it out to get me started on an Ableton Move version of the track and with some polished up samples and a little bit of editing I thought it was worth a revision.

More details for synth nerds,

BPM 131
I originally programmed the top arpeggio line on the Circuit Tracks quickly realising I was going to run out of voices. I sampled the riff and stuck it on a pad and played it back as a pattern and saved myself a voice, I couldn't get a bass synth sound that would double up as the main synth and as 'Peter Hook'. Instead I played a short Spaghetti Western style bass guitar riff through a spring reverb in my best impression of Hooky and sampled it on the Circuit Rhythm. I then transferred this onto one of the drum sample pads and put it on Drum 4 as another pattern, finally there is a choir sample the band played on an old Emulator. I simply copied the same source they used ( Kraftwerk's track, 'Uranium') and made a loop on another one of the drum pads, turning it into a 3rd pattern for Drum 4."
