I'm already on Distrokid, and I love it!
Why sample loading is slow on Circuits: All the Circuits mount to computers as MIDI devices. Samples are sent and received using the MIDI Sample Dump Standard (SDS), which hasn't changed since its introduction in 1986. SDS is basically a huge amount of 8-bit SysEx data. It's just always going to be slow to send high quality 16/24/32-bit audio data as 8-bit data. Novation and others do this because it's easier to develop drivers for multiple platforms, including the Components web interface, if the instrument is communicating through MIDI since they have MIDI expertise. Novation could potentially develop a different hardware-computer interface that speeds up data transfer, but they won't without pressure from customers, because what they have now works. Changing to a different data standard, would take some time and effort to implement (and the current hardware may not even support it). I think (but I am not certain) that MIDI 2.0 may support higher bit rate for SysEx. Our best hope may be that future firmware updates support this way of speeding up sample dumps.
I think this is perfect for my uses! I don't want any complicated since it's just to make quick drum grooves and piano loops live while I play my saxophone and sing. I love how quick and intuitive it seems even without a screen! Thank you for your time in this review! ❤️
Hope you have fun with it!! Thanks for watching
The circuit tracks, drumbrute impact and the microfreak are the 3 things i tell someone who wants to start. Each on there own are awesome so you can get one and have fun until you have the money to buy another one of them. But with all 3 you have just about everything you cpuld ever want or need to make any kind of music you want! Oh and they are all fairly budget yet super high quality!
I'm a beginner with Microfreak and Dumbrute (and a Launchpad for Ableton Live) so I think your comment has convinced me :)
I think I’ve finally found the groove box for me. Just realized I can sample a set of diatonic chords into a row of empty slots, and then play them back on the same track. So much easier than trying to do something similar on the Digitakt.
Great review, I've just ordered mine. It will sit very nicely alongside Tracks and quite likely I'll hook in my OG Circuit too.. I love the circuit platform, so fast to work with.
I found myself watching Bo's video and Gabe's video at the same time, lol, switching between them. Spoilt for choice is what we are. ;-) Thanks Bo.
They all released at the same time
Haha! true for me :)
dont forget loopops
@@JeremyForTheWin Yes but I need 100% attention for Loopops lol, no switching. I tend to watch his videos once I have the machine.
The No screen thing is very appealing. Novation is well known for great firmware updates too. The future is bright. #Dawless #Novation #Circuit_Rhythm
Too true. It will no doubt get better over time if their past updates are anything to go by.
Closer to DAWless than the Tracks for sure.. But you still need to connect to do loads of things.
I'd prefer a small screen and not having to mess around with Components.
Nice one really looking forward to this video!! Thanks for taking time to make it!!
“Red Means That They’re Empty” is going to be the name of my wildly successful synth CZcams channel
_a wild Jeremy appears_
@DAC Protogen couldn't agree more!
Thanks for the vid man- just saw Novation tweet about this and wanted to learn more.
Some numbers for a little perspective:
At 80 BPM, four bars is 12 seconds long. That means that a 220 second limitation will still give you 18 samples of four bars, with 4 seconds left for one shots. If each four bar sample is sliced to be used for an eight (or sixteen, or whatever) bar section, you have room for a verse, bridge, and chorus for a total of six songs. Of course, at faster tempos, you can squeeze in even more.
In other words, this thing can hold an entire EP worth of samples. If you're smart about how you prepare and organize your samples, you might even be able to get a proper full length album!
Great info!
This looks really cool. I recently got the launchkey mini mk3 and have been very impressed by the intuitiveness and user friendliness of it, this looks like it would provide a similar feeling.
Just bought mine and this was very nice to get me up and running. Thanks!
Watching Bo groove out makes me smile! Great video as always!
Great review, Bo. Gave me a lot of food for thought.
Hey Bo, feels good to see you again! Keep up the great work! Germany here 🇩🇪
Thanks for this vid. I was looking for a demo of the live recording feature. This looks it can totally work live. Set up a beat, record an extra instrument, include it in the beat and BAM we’re rolling!
As a standalone thing think this would do more for me than my circuit tracks, but somewhat paradoxically it doesn't do enough as an additional piece of gear. Looks nice and I love Novation's workflow but for once I'm glad to not be GASing too hard on a new piece of gear.
Would love to hear a finished version of 13min-14min track. Thx for the demo!
Hi! You said that the Circuit Rhythm doesn't have any MIDI-tracks and it does. It has 8 MIDI-tracks, one for each sample track. In fact it has MIDI IN/OUT/THRU and a SYNC output.
Another great episode of Bob Eats!
When I bought my Digitakt half a year ago, this is what I actually wanted LOL. I don't need most of the advanced features on the Digitakt, albeit I have to say its a very beautiful machine and fun.
Same... more or less. I got a Digitakt to use as a drum machine and master sequencer, but it turns out it has a ton of shortcomings as a sequencer, and I don't really need most of its extra sampling features, and I can't get samples off it since it requires a proprietary app. So a Circuit Rhythm might actually be better for my purposes. Or, of course, a MPC would be good too.
@@ToyKeeper Take a look at the Akai Force for sequencing, it is freaking insane.
BTW, If you do decide to do some researching the Akai Force, just make sure to look at info/reviews that are referring to the firmware 3.0.6, since that version has some really amazing features added like full arranger mode, Ableton integration, multi-midi USB, and an additional Drum plugin built-in (which gives it four (quite-massive-sounding) plugins right out of the box) plus a ton of other new features…. It’s not compact or portable, but it has an incredible amount of features and connectivity (as well as a 7-inch touchscreen, 64 RGB pads, 8 rotaries, each with dedicated displays, etc)… Great thing about the force is a lot of people are still unaware of the new firmware so it is selling at a great price in the used market… Of course, It might or might not fit your needs, but in either case it is a perfect time to look at one just in case it is the former.
@@GearGuy The Akai Force has been at the top of my list for a while now, because it's the closest one can get to Ableton without a computer. Initially I didn't like it due to its limitations, but then they added the arranger mode and it seems like it's waaaay more powerful now.
@@GearGuyI confirm with exatidude👍
If only the Model samples could sample!
Exactly. The M:S would be an absolute classic if it could sample, but I just sold it because I can't be arsed loading samples. Will replace it with the circuit rhythm because it can sample and has a battery
😆
This
For REALLLLLL 😂
Just like the volca sample
Thanks for the vid Bo!
Nice informative Video as always Mr Bo :) My interest personally for me was that you would be able to play samples 'polyphoncally' but you can't so there goes my interest. 'Tracks' offers more for ya money imho.. but then I am a synth nerd more than 'drum' nerd haha.
Hey hey thanks soooo much for your channel. As a musician but complete newbie to synths i have learnt so much! Quick question, can you make this one into a synth brain like circuit tracks? Thanks 😊
Wonder if they would add a arpeggio function in a update.
New circuit, first check Bo 😀
Great review. Now, I'm considering buying one. Thanks.
I'm definitely new to the gear game but i will see what I can pull out of the rythm.
great outline with funky beats throughout!
Yes, it is for me. The Tracks and the Rhythm are a formidable pair. Buy them both. That's what they wanted anyway.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial, seeing how your hands move is very helpful to me.
Partnered this with a Launchpad Pro & Circuit Mono Station & a Peak because
*Playflow>Workflow*
I’ve had an mpc one on my list for a while now… however I’ve been wanting the circuit tracks and now I want this. 😂 I have been debating on a Groovebox for a whole year lol… probably will keep debating…
Thanks Bo, good review. Looks to me that this might have the edge over the Roland MC-101. Good price point too.
Very good, in depth review! 👏
Hi, I am new with groovebox hardwares and went through your contents and loved it. 😊
In my case, I would need to trigger loops say for 15 different songs in live gigs having around 4 loops for each song. I want to go completely dawless,by loading only the loops (say guitar,drums,pads/strings) in hardware. Can you please suggest if it would solve my purpose ?
Bo good Vidy ! Thanks, Good to see ya ! Can the Circuit Rhythm send a MIDI track to the minilogue and then run the poly output from the minilog back into the Rhythm's inputs like you can with the Circuit Tracks ?
Thanks for the work you put in man, you help many people make their dreams a reality.
Thank for the video, very nice explanation. I feel the new Circuits are a bit pricey still. They are nice, but at 400 Euros i would rather pay a bit more for more capable devices. I'm sure Novation wanted us to buy both of the Circuits but at that price it's in the MPC, Deluge, 707 territory already, so no contest there. Don't get me wrong, i really liked the workflow of the original and the original's price was also spot on.
I am still baffled by the tracks in Australia being priced $639.00 but the rhythm is priced $869.00
@@geekindakitchen Wow thats 604.90 CHF or 551.85 Euro! For the rhythm.
In some ways this is exactly what I'm looking for, a drum machine/sampler to loop and add to my bass and piano sound, but it would be great if it had better midi capability, so it could be used as a controller for a desktop synth, and in a DAW, maybe they'll add polyphonic midi out later down the line? But for now I'll hold out.
Your videos are amazing. I do not have a media card and am trying to load external sounds. I was able to get a sound on the circuit but it didnt seem right. Must there be a media card in the unit?
I have been a trackerhead for 20+ years, the obvious choice was the polyend tracker. I use it 1 or 2 times a week for the past year. Last week I got a circuit tracks, I can not put it down, making loops all day. I feel sorry for the polyend, but it will be replaced by a circuit rhythm. The no screen is liberating
I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between the capabilities of the digitakt and the circuit rhythm/tracks combined. Since they're around the same price, that might be a more apples to apples comparison, and you could always drop in the digitone on the comparison if you want to spice it up even more!
Be very careful if you’re looking at a Digitakt - it’s a gateway drug into the world of Elektron!
Amazingly creative machines 😀
Since I have the circuit tracks, I am considering this to expand and make my setup better. Easier than selling for a digitakt since I am familiar with the workflow
I feel that if you want to do boombap or other similar styles like Lofi, the richness of the stereo image is naturally present because the sample chops are already in stereo. With this sampler you will have to find a turnaround. Would be really nice that in a future firmware update they let you sample right and left channels to two different tracks and somehow chop the the exact same way so you can sacrifice a track for stereo. If that is implemented I would be buying it right now.
Great video Bo! You convinced me to stick with the MPC. I love Novation stuff but for a little more money you can get an MPC that does all of this and more, and with a better/clearer workflow. I'd rather menu dive in a menu than a bunch of button combinations.
I hear you, but this seems a bit more “direct” especially in a live situation. I do most of my drums on my Tr-8S keeping samples to the MPC One
I'm a hardcore Ableton Live user and I was thinking the same, to go for an MPC. But I must admit I am way more attracted to the "no screen, no menu diving" workflow because i spend like 16 hrs a day in front of a PC. I feel that because in Live I can do ANYTHING, I have a million ways to do the same thing, and sometimes I feel it can affect flow and creativity. I'm feeling this one could work as a nice sketch pad and later throw the tracks into your daw so yo can work properly on it.
400 dollars is not a little more money..........
@@paulwhiting1731 Well, maybe for you it's not. For a lot of people, $400 is a significant amount of money.
@@prospectnyc Not sure how you are reading that I'm saying it is a lot more money. And we agree.
Hmm I didn't think there was any space left to squeeze in another drum machine/sampler between the Roland TR-6S and the Digitakt, but here goes Novation proving me wrong.
You should do a video with the Tracks and Rhythm together! I’d live to see what you can do, Bo.
Good idea!
@@BoBeats Can’t wait to see the magic! It might just convince me to add a Rhythm to go along with my Tracks 😉
Well… I thought I would be excited about this one but it sounds like the Tracks is the best one for me! I’m keeping it
Yeah I agree Jeremy. I was waiting before purchasing but I also think the Tracks is the one I’m getting.
It’s a great addition to the tracks but not a replacement.
They are definitely different beasts
Great video. The Circuit Rhythm seems a lot like the Korg Electribe 2 Sampler. Hopefully, Novation will support it better than Korg.
Novation always have great support for products 🤙
Please can you add it to the Maschine plus explained video once it comes along, I wanted to try the connectivity of it so I can have extra samples and fx, wondering if this is what I need
This looks like it could be a editor for launch pad and Blocs wave, made by Novation too. Overall this thing needs a screen editor app.
Great video! I’m wondering how you can use it w a synth set up as opposed to just the tracks. Thank you for the great video Bo!!! Got a really good idea of workflow and capabilities/ possibilities with it!
Thanks!! Maybe I should to a Synth Setup video with it
@@BoBeats please do this. Looking at clearing out my OG Circuits, getting a Rhythm or Tracks, or trade up to a Deluge
The sequencer is mono and so is the midi out.. Which makes it a bit limiting..
@@Gainn - mono sequencing is fine if you’re running through stereo effects.
What do you mean by mono midi out? Only one midi track?
@@leftmono1016 it only sends a single note out on each midi channel at a time. Unlike the tracks that can send polyphonic midi.
Thanks for the detailed section about sampling! Any tips on avoiding clicking when looping samples?
I think adding a bit of attack (turn the envelope knob Just a little!) can help. Sometimes moving start/end can help too. But otherwise theres not much you can do except sampling things with a little air at the start and then adjusting sample start and end so it doesnt click.
@@BoBeats Thanks! Makes sense. I find it tricky to get right. (I'd love a ping pong looping mode!)
Great video as always!!! Now at the a**z*n only 260 euros, I think at this price is a really cool device...
one question: I can use one of the 8 tracks as midi out for monophonic synths ???
what are your thoughts on this unit vs elektron's model: samples?
I was pretty uninterested in the Circuit Tracks since they didn't change up must, but pretty interested in this in terms of having the Circuit workflow in a sampler - do you think it could go up against an SP404? I Want to have something solid I can gig with that I don't *need* to have a big set up around but can throw in my MC101 or Microfreak if I feel like it. Lack of chords is a pretty big drawback, but maybe if I used my MC101 purely for chorded samples.
I cant say because I dont know the sp lineup at all
If you come up with a beat you really like and want to record it into your DAW (eg I use Reaper). Are you able to have it send separate tracks to the DAW?? eg a track for kick, one for snare etc
Great video! Were you using anything other than the built-in sounds in the sequener for this demo?
Nope
is there a gain volume for the novation rythm as i find the volume being very quiet even just using the internal samples with max master volume
Video idea - can you please do a review of MOTU Ultralite mk5? Both as an interface and as a digital mixer. 8 line ins, digital ins, MIDI on full ports, 10 DC coupled line out, phone/tablet controls, effects - sounds perfect for Eurorack or DAWless setups.
Looks like really fun. Dropped my order yesterday. Are there any soundpack on it by delivering? Greetz from Germany! 👾🎧
there should be a factory pack on it I believe.
@@BoBeats Nice. Looking forward to try it out 😉
What do you need beside this groovebox to start using it? I have never done electronic music and have no idea which cables and what additional equipment is needed. I want to use a groovebox like this circuit rhythm to make ambient music but have no idea what to buy beside it.
Hi Bo. thanks for your conent :)
my last day to return my Tracks. still not sure if i am missing something. is there a way to play my microfreak or other synths with Tracks. i connected audio and midi so can play the pads on tracks and tweak on Tracks. that is fun but i cant figure a way to play on microfreak and record the midi into tracks to build a backing track so i can play guitar seperately using the wee backing track. is this possible or will i need to get the rhythm for that. thanks :)
on tracks you should be able to record onto the midi tracks from your freak and play back those notes to the freak. Midi In and Out must be connected between the two devices. And make sure RX/TX is set correctly on the Tracks. And that both devices use same midi channel. See manual for how to set this on Tracks and Freak respectively
Great vid thanks! 👍
does this play nicely with modular? What about that 3.5mm sync? Does it send start/stop/reset 16/24/48/96 ppqn?
At this price & with limitations similar to the PO-33, Im prob just gonna stick with my PO-33 for now until firmware updates improve this!
that live loop sampling seems really interesting. i wonder if you could make a poor man's Octatrack by sampling a loop (from the Tracks for example) into the rhythm and letting it play, then messing about with it while changing patches and sounds on the tracks in the background.
Does it have choke groups?
I would need to have say:
- 4 drum pads, that choke each other when activated
- 4 sample pads that do the same
- 4 bass
- 4 sound effects
My plan is to take my beats from ableton and be able to tap them out live.
My go to for this would be the MPC one, but it seems like an overkill machine , given what I will actually use it for.
Do you think that circuit rhythm would be the right machine for the job?
In the event I am away from the computer and unable to get to components, can I access sounds from other packs?
Atleast 4 note polyphony per track would make this a whole lot better so we could finger drum and do some simple chords. I wonder if the monophonic limitation is only on record or does it exist while I'm pressing pads and audition. If I could atleast finger drum live that would be nice
Bo, do you think Novation will have more Circuit variants, or are they sticking with Tracks and Rhythm?
Good question. My guess would be no. I think they will need to update the format
I love this video and I love the concept of the rhythm how ever I don't love the Australian retail of $869.00 considering the Tracks is $639.00 Great video Bo.
just wait half a year or so and it will probably be 30% off or more. also this kind of toyish boxes spoil the preowned-market after a short timeperiod (at least over here in europe)
@@qpidnyx3329 Yeah, I got a second hand Circuit for £90 a couple of years ago.. Half of these will be on eBay within a year. The shine wears thin pretty quickly when you have to spend half the time connected to a computer anyway.
Yo Bo. If you already own a circuit, Is this worth considering. I'll probably come to realize that you mentioned this in the video, as I haven't finished watching it all yet. Just a quick sneak while I'm at work lol. Good stuff my man 🙏✊💪🔥
See the last section. Basically: its a really good partner for the Circuit. If you love the workflow
@@BoBeats good man. On my way home now so we catch up in a minute. 👏👊💪😎
This looks very much like a good starting point for someone (like me) who is new to music production. Am I missing something on that, or am I correct..? I think I'm correct given it's affordability.
Bo did you hear about the Behringer Linn Drum clone? It looks like it's gonna be a sampler too apparently?! I'm pretty excited! Like how neat is THAT?
This thing is pretty cool too! It's not my workflow type but tbh there's no good reason for that haha lack of practice probably if anything.
Edit: oh, ok this work flow is actually not exactly what I expected further in, very cool piece of gear :)
Thx for the review! Btw. i want your t-shirt... :-)
It is for sale in his web shop
I just got one and can’t figure out how to latch or hold a loop. On the sp-404 you just press a pad and it keeps looping the sample until you press the pad again. Searched the manual and nothing. Seems like you can only loop a sample if you keep holding down the pad? What good is that?
Im Not Happy with my Roland tr8s ,may be ist better with the two novations and my tb3 and quadranid swarm?
seems like a cool device for being able to simply add samples on the fly and sequence them etc. part of the og circuit appeal was its price though. bought a few used ones for like 150 bucks. i think this new rhythm looks good but only when i can find one for 200 ish. novation tends to oveprice their stuff at first imo.. mono station was another cool one once it hit a lower price point. 400 for this is just too much for me personally. but it does look simple, fun, and inspiring.
The Circuit Rythm seems closer to the Elektron Model Sample than the Digitakt. Both are in the entry level market, have similar limitations/specs, and are roughly the same size.
Digitakt is much more advanced and covers a lot more ground especially with the new update. It’s hard to compare the 2. Another comparison might be and sp-404? Idk 🤷
Good overview of the product though! I think i was hoping for some drum synthesis mixed in with sampling. The circuit rythm is cool but maybe not for me.
had the same thought
I think it becomes a bit unfair to compare with the Model: Samples as it just can’t sample at all and no FX processing of external sources. Its comparable, but I think the Rhythm simply offers alot more.
Honestly, to me I feel a much stronger similarity of how I’d use the Rhythm to the Digitakt. They are all similar kinds of grooveboxes. If you dont need to sample anything then Model: Samples is a good option. But as soon as you want Sampling its either Digitakt or Rhythm. Perhaps a Roland SP compares well too? I just havnt tried one so I can’t say.
Compared to the Model: Samples I feel that the Rhythm is just way more useable. I’d rate Samples pretty low on a ”sample based groovebox” list tbh.
You did a great job breaking down this sampler, but this has nothing on the Mpc one or Roland mc 101. I’ll have to pass on this. Keep up the good work and stay in good health.
Thanks buddy!
Can u record and make sample packs that way or do they need to be uploaded....I know it directly samples but can you make packs doing it that way cause I hate messing around with computers
how do you know how to set the sample audio level when going into the unit? Clipping?? No screen, no audio meter?
Thanks, exploring this a little late but isn't sample memory normally referring to ram instead of flash memory, because then the length limitation would make no sense?
I can imagine some really creative people making some really cool stuff on this.
Same with any other machine I would imagine....
@@xplo8554 Yes, I agree.
Nice video! Could you use this as sort of like a loop station, create live performances with only this and one synth (in my case minilogue xd)?
Edit: what I mean is I want to do be able to record something from my xd and then loop it (quickly, like a live performance), so I can change sounds on my xd and create a whole track with it live. Then also have like a drum beat going on from the circuit
@@BoBeats alright, so it wouldn't be easy to do live performances with this and a minilogue xd?
Hey Bojan, you can easily treat it like a live looper with a little thought and preparation. E.g. you can place a step into the sequencer using an empty sample slot. Set the sequencer running, then record your Minilogue XD into the blank sample slot used by that track's sequencer. Once that sequencer repeats the loop is created. You can do this on all 8 tracks too so you could easily loop 8 passes on 8 separate tracks. Just been having fun live looping my Summit this way.
@@-CALC- oh wow thank you so much for your answer!!! Now that sounds great, I think I will get one asap!
Edit: do u have a video or something where I can see how the workflow looks like (and listen to your jam :D)?
@@indibiningingman6510 I'm holding a deep dive on the Novation Livestream tomorrow 9pm BST (Weds 23rd June) then the next two weeks after that. The live looping idea will form part of the second deep dive next week when we'll look at some of the more advanced aspects of the Rhythm.
@@-CALC- where is the livestream? And can it be seen afterwards?
I know it's a circuit and therefore doesn't have a screen. But you are gonna need components or similar to get the best out of it to see all the sample names etc. Saying all that, for the price it's still kinda nice.
You need components, but you will learn where things are in your packs. Especially if you load stuff in a logical way: first two rows kick drums, then snares and so on. So the lack of a screen isnt a major problem in this particular case
the lack of polyphony and the fact that you can t use stereo samples is kind of a bummer
I feel that if you want to do boombap or other similar styles like Lofi, the richness of the stereo image is naturally present because the sample chops are already in stereo. With this sampler you will have to find a turnaround. Would be really nice that in a future firmware update they let you sample right and left channels to two different tracks and somehow chop the the exact same way so you can sacrifice a track for stereo. If that is implemented I would be buying it right now.
Can you adjust the swing in the circuit rhythm?
6:48 Bo is flipping us off!
in every single video
The beat repeat never seems to come back where you expect it to. Does the sample keep playing underneath or is an 8th repeat always going to start 1/8 later when you let the button go?
my math is too bad to answer this question
@@BoBeats does it come back where you expect? It sounded like you were doing the beat repeat and then the sample would come back in halfway through the phrase, not at the start.
hmmm, now that you ask I feel like I need to go back and check. I felt like it came back where I expected. But what if what I expect is not what others expect :O
Cool tip, link a midi device like launch control xl etc to circuit rhythms midi in to get more control over grid fx, see programmers ref guide for info.
And how can you ensure several samples (uploaded or uploaded) have a similar volume level ?
I feel the lack of mention of the Elektron model:samples as an alternative. Is much closer to the price point.
When I press Prosjects 2 times like you do, I dont get the same row of lights on top like you do, but a square of red tabs in themiddle with some yellow ones in the center. Nothing happens when I press these. Please help. Its frustrating that the tutorials doesnt match
Is it worth buying if have the circut tracks? Think they might compliment each other
Yes! Its a great combo
Only just got my circuit tracks but I know this one is inevitable too 😂
Was just wondering, you cannot have polyphonic, but if you sample a chord, and you use note mode, would't that do the trick ?
