Hi everyone! I’m a beginner looking to get my first Circuit, and I’m hesitating between the Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm.
I have very little music theory and I’m not planning to use Ableton for now. I mainly want to have fun experimenting with sounds and making electronic music — house, techno, hardgroove, tribe/tekno, etc. I’d like to combine samples, create beats, mess around with sounds and eventually use the Circuit for live performances.
I’m not necessarily looking for the most “professional” or advanced workflow — I mainly want something fun, intuitive and versatile that I can grow into.
Would you recommend the Tracks or Rhythm for this use? And why?

I struggled for years to translate my records into a one-person live show that I was happy with. Circuit Tracks is really starting to solve that. I'm interested in playing gigs again!

Hi all

I would like to start with this world and explore a bit. Someone has recommended to start with rhythm as a sampler to be able to compose something.

Checking what was available and If I am looking to be able to build my own simple beats, which one fits better?
Is it easy to find sample libraries to start practising?

Thanks!

OK, so I have a little jam kit going I typically use my 303 (donner b1) to be the master midi clock, it has both midi out and hardware sync then I two other desktop synths one as a hardware sync and one I chain of the novation circuit midi through.

I generally use the circuit for drums and pads. I would like to do a project where I use the novation circuit to control the synths. I find the patterns to be limited. I would like to be able to switch between the synths one for solo jamming. Also I would like to use the B1 as a solo instrument and use a circuit synth as the bass.

Any ideas on how to configure this. The circuit doesn't seem to want to swap midi channels on the fly.??
