Demo - Analog Techno - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"This pack for Novation Circuit Tracks dives into the raw world of Analog Techno — driven by hands-on synth work and deep hardware. Built around patches inspired by classic analog machines and sequences created with hardware sequencers, the sounds are gritty, unstable and alive — full of saturation, modulation, and subtle imperfections that give them a true analog hardware feel.

To reinforce that analog soul, all drum samples were crafted using the Elektron Analog Rytm — a powerful analog drum machine known for its aggressive and analog sound. Its presence adds an unmistakable edge to the rhythm section, perfectly complementing the warmth and depth of the synth patches.

Includes 128 velocity-sensitive patches (64 original + 64 variations), 64 Analog Rytm drum samples and 18 sessions — ideal for Raw Techno, Minimal, IDM, Industrial, Acid and related genres.

FlyntC - Novation Circuit Rhythm Demo

video upload by FlyntC

"Hey everyone,
here’s a quick live demo of the Novation Circuit Rhythm Sampler. I got this little device to sample on the go, save melodies, and just have fun. With the built-in battery, it’s perfect for mobile use.

For this demo, I only used ‘One Shot Samples.’ When played at a higher pitch, they naturally speed up (e.g., bassline).

The lack of polyphony and the fact that different delay and reverb effects can’t be applied separately to individual channels (only the intensity can be adjusted) are somewhat limiting. Hey Novation, maybe a software update could fix this? Since stereo samples are converted to mono, the effects help to create a kind of stereo effect as a workaround.

Despite these limitations, it’s a great product. For me, it’s like a mini-DAW on the go.

Blue Monday/New Order (edit) - Novation Circuit version

video upload by Guinan

"It's Monday so what could be more apt than todays Hacienda club classic, Blue Monday.
As per usual this is ALL Novation Circuit Tracks playing live from the headphone jack direct into my phone. No extra synths/no effects/no extra edits.

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.

If people like this I'll do a '12" remix' version with the Novation Circuit Rhythm padding out the tracks. Let me know in the comments.

Details for synth nerds (extra video after the song);
I 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 twangy bass guitar (one of the old wooden ones with strings and stuff :P ) 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 ( ;) Google It!) and made a loop on another one of the drum pads, turning it into a 3rd pattern for Drum 4.

It all needs a bit more tweaking and arranging for the full version but this was sounding good so couldn't resist letting you have a listen."

Can You Feel It?/Fingers Inc - Novation Circuit Tracks & Rhythm duo version.

"As promised a slightly expanded version of this track (following the 120BPM Fingers Inc version with samples). Once again it is just the headphone out, no extra processing, played 'live' direct into my phone. Hope you like it! (and again let me know if there is a particular House classic you think would work well)

Synth nerd details below;

Having the Circuit Rhythm beside the Tracks let me split out some of the drum tracks. I let the Rhythm take over the drums to allow for muting/unmuting of all the drum tracks and it runs in tighter sync. Huge shout out to Gabe Miller's videos showing how to run these two machines together and what a great pairing they can be.

Basically the audio out from the Tracks (on the left) goes to the audio in of the Rhythm (on the right). The MIDI out from the Rhythm controls the Tracks and syncs both - even allowing simultaneous Project switching (not shown here).

The lead line is sampled from the Circuit Tracks synth.

The main thing you can see me switching is Scenes (which can preset levels and muting for a number of tracks) and I also play some of the velocity sensitive pads live."
