1 hour chill synth jazz improv on Novation Circuit Tracks

video upload by Synthesaurus Rex

"Yay! Finally, I don't have to play anything by myself anymore! Just press start and stop. And no, it's no masterpiece and very lazy and repetetive, I think it's interesting that every single beat in that whole hour is unique and different from the next - it never repeats. Same goes for the visuals: especially the lava lamp makes it that every single frame in that video also is unique. Although no AI was used in this production, IT was heavily involved: the second track of the NCT plays its notes randomized. So what's the difference between this and using AI? Well, at least I (a human being) gave the NCT a group of notes and chords to play randomly, instead of just typing something into a prompt. Also, it's a test: will a long video like this, playing interchangeable background muzak, perform better than my other stuff? And to the fellow Circuiteers: the patch you are hearing is my attempt at creating some kind of a piano-like sound on the NCT. If you want me to share that, let me know in the comments."

DEEP, DIVE, HYPNOTIC
DUB CHORDS, HYPNOTIC RHYTHMS & IMMERSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Dub Techno transforms your Novation Circuit Tracks into a modern Dub Techno instrument where hypnotic grooves, evolving atmospheres and endless echoes meet the precision of Techno.

Inspired by the meeting point between Dub and Techno, the pack explores both worlds without compromise. Featuring 120 patches — including 56 Dub Chords, 16 Deep Basses, 24 Poly Synths, 16 Pads, 6 Performance Effects — plus 18 demo projects, the collection blends dub chords, evolving delays, cavernous reverbs and atmospheric textures with solid drums, sub basslines and hypnotic sequences, creating everything from introspective listening experiences to late-night club tracks.

Dub Techno captures the essence of the genre: repetition, subtle evolution and space. Every patch has been designed to breathe, evolve and interact with delay and reverb, allowing simple patterns to grow into rich, immersive soundscapes full of movement and emotion.

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.

"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.

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.
