8mm From The Sun! [Novation Circuit Chillout] Published on May 29, 2019 Flak Cannon

Esoteric Beach Simulator II [Novation Circuit Tape Lo-Fi chillout]

Published on May 29, 2019 Flak Cannon

"I recorded this track directly to a cassette from the Novation Circuit when performing it. It's more exciting and fun recording directly into an analogue physical media when you don't have an undo/delete button so easily available!

If I ever finish this track "properly", I'll record it to PC and upload it here."

Additional sound processing done with Valhalla Shimmer.

Novation Circuit Ambient #10

Published on Apr 21, 2019 Flak Cannon

"My first Circuit performance video.. with not much to watch than some random mixer button pressings. Just wanted to experiment and see how it works.

For this ambient track, I wanted the song to have a simple beat and keep the effect of Valhalla Shimmer a lot more minimal.

Enjoy!

(or don't lol)"

Flak Cannon Novation Circuit Ambient

Cleared for Landing [Novation Circuit & Arturia Microfreak]

Flak Cannon

"A trance-ish duet with Circuit & Microfreak.

Circuit: Pad, bassline, drums
Microfreak: Arpeggio, synced to Circuit's Synth 1 channel playing the pad.
Effects: Valhalla Shimmer & Supermassive

Samples were added afterwards on the DAW."

Novation Circuit Ambient #11: Sääkokemus (The Weather Experience) [The Prodigy cover]

Published on Apr 23, 2019 Flak Cannon

"This is my ambient cover of Weather Experience by The Prodigy. The original song uses a sample of a weather forecast which I wanted to have in my version too. I took it a bit further and used a Finnish forecast. Otherwise all sounds are from Novation Circuit, processed with Valhalla Shimmer."

Late Night Dub Techno (With Novation Circuit)

Published on Apr 26, 2020 Flak Cannon

"This is a little dub techno jam, almost completely made on the Novation Circuit. The only non-Circuit thing is the texture sound which was added afterwards."

Lost in Cosmos [dub ambient / Novation Circuit]

Flak Cannon

"An ambientish dubby tune with a trippy video. Made with Novation Circuit with lots of added effects and channel panning trickery."

Novation Circuit Synthwave

Published on Jun 23, 2019 Flak Cannon

"A currently untitled track, synthwave song 100% made with Novation Circuit groovebox using the Digiphex Electronics patch pack number 4."

Novation Circuit Techno Jam

Published on May 10, 2019 Flak Cannon

"A very boring techno jam on the Novation Circuit. All sounds from the Circuit except for the vocal sample."

Novation Circuit Synthwave - Ambient Remix

Published on Jul 1, 2019 Flak Cannon

"This is an ambient remix of my Novation Circuit Synthwave track (see original here: [posted here]).

I did this version simply by lowering the tempo to 40 and adding lots of effects to the synths (Valhalla Shimmer / Delay etc).

The percussion track did not get completely removed, instead I used it very sparely. This was also the first time when I did a multi-track recording of a song by panning the synths and percussions into separate tracks."

November 2020 Techno Jam [Volca Sample]

Flak Cannon

"A techno jam made with Volca Sample."

Sidechaining Is Not A Sin [Novation Circuit]

Flak Cannon

"It's been a while since I've done full track using only Novation Circuit. I powered up my Circuit to find that there's a couple of interesting projects worth recording, here's one of them. Groovy house-ish track with some heavy afterwards processing with Valhalla Supermassive enhanced with some channel panning magick and trickery."

The Roads Are Not What They Seem [Novation Circuit & Arturia Microfreak]

Published on Oct 6, 2019 Flak Cannon

"A track made with Novation Circuit & Arturia Microfreak. Microfreak is on the pad duty, Circuit does the sequencing and a pluck sound. The sound has been further processed with Valhalla Shimmer & Valhalla Delay."

Novation Circuit Ambient #14

Published on Sep 23, 2019 Flak Cannon

"A trippy ambient track with an equally trippy video to accompany it. This was made in late spring of 2019. Unfortunately I don't remember which pack I used to make this one. All sounds from the Novation Circuit, effects by Valhalla Shimmer."

Slow Tempo Jungle Experiment [Novation Circuit / Volca Sample / Arturia Microfreak]

Flak Cannon

"Old school jungle is one of my favourite electronic music genres, so of course eventually I wanted to try my hands on that. Things did not go as expected since I could not get this track to work at the traditional higher BPM of jungle. Slow it down then! As an end result his experimentative jam was born.

The Novation Circuit isn't actually playing any music, I use it to control the Microfreak to play the pad sound. Volca Sample provides the slowed down amen break."

One of Starships [Novation Circuit + Volca Bass]

Flak Cannon

"I've had a Volca Bass for a few weeks, but haven't actually done anything with it. Now was the time for that to change so I paired it with Novation Circuit for some trancey goodness! The original plan was to do a goa track in the style of Astral Projections, but no luck making it work this time. Went with something more lower tempo instead.


The roles of the machines were reversed a bit: the Circuit does the bassline while Volca is on the lead/pluck duty. All of this was finished with a bunch of effects to give more spaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

And a final tip: sometimes I can't come up with a good song title.. so it's time to cheat a bit! A site called 'Seventh Sanctum' is the perfect place for all kinds of nerdy'n'geeky title/idea generating. The 'Science Fiction Tarot Card Generator' was responsible for the name of this track."

Today Zeroday [Volca Sample]

Flak Cannon

"The plan was to make some Drum'n'Bass, but ended up with slower tempo breaky beats instead."

Mellow Dub Techno [Novation Circuit]

Published on May 12, 2020 Flak Cannon

"A mellow dub techno track made almost completely with the Novation Circuit (except for the effects and the hissing texture sound)."

Simple Synthwave [Novation Circuit, Audiokit FM player (iOS), Roland JV1080 VST]

Published on Aug 1, 2019 Flak Cannon

"Simply put, a very Simple Synthwave track. Created with Novation Circuit, Audiokit FM Player and Roland JV1080 VST.

The bassline is played by FM Player (iPad) which is controlled by the Circuit. Pad sound is from the Circuit as well. The electric guitar comes from the JV1080 VST which was later added on top of the other two elements."

Dub Techno Jam [Novation Circuit / Arturia Microfreak]

Published on Apr 3, 2020 Flak Cannon

"This is a hypnotic dub techno jam I made with Novation Circuit & Arturia Microfreak. The jamming part is mostly about tweaking the knobs on the Microfreak to make that dub techno chord do different dubtecnoish things.

I made the dub techno chord patch for Microfreak myself. Circuit provides the pad (from some pack, can't remember which), percussion and sequencing. The vocal sample was added afterwards in Reaper.

To make things more dub and techno, various effects etc was added (most notably Valhalla Delay & Shimmer).

Stay safe and avoid the Corona!"
