Circuit Rhythm - Deep Dive with -CALC- (Part 1) // Novation Live

In this live stream -CALC- introduces the brand new member of the Circuit family, the Novation Circuit Rhythm. This is the first in a series of three live streams and will be a deep-dive session. We will explore the key features and workflow found within this versatile sampler and groovebox. We’ll look at the powerful sampler features combined with the lightning-fast sequencing capabilities and what makes this the perfect tool for the modern beatmaker.

Circuit Rhythm is a versatile sampler for making and performing beats. Record samples directly to the hardware, then slice, sculpt and resample your sounds effortlessly. Capture your groove quantised or off-grid into the sequencer, and layer up across eight sample tracks. Invigorate your live set with performance FX: embrace imperfection with lo-fi tape, stutter your mix with beat repeat, and more. Integrate Circuit Rhythm into your studio, or unplug and create anywhere utilising the built-in rechargeable battery.

The beauty of the Circuits is that the buttons end up acting as your screen.

After watching Gabe Millers videos I came over here and watched all the calc videos. Got my Circuit Rhythm finally and its everything I hoped it would be and more. Cant wait to see some more firmware updates.

I think this is going to be huge with a culture of beat makers behind it!

Love the Rhythm and use it regularly. It's easy to get ideas going and flesh them out. Some nice happy accidents can happen with all the hands on controls.

One thing I wish would be updated is the ability to remove a pack from the Rhythm that is stored on the sd card. Being able to do it from the device itself would be great, but at LEAST the ability to remove it from Components is needed. It's a bit of a pain to have to pull the sd card, load it up on a computer, and then figure out which subdirectory to delete to remove the pack.

Can’t wait to get mine :) this + Circuit Tracks is a great combo.

Just epic thanks for the awesome presentation! Looking forward to the next!

I know it's not even out yet but I have firmware requests: increased note resolution (please at least increase it from 6ppq to 8 or 16). Include bitrate/sample quality as one of the automatable sample settings and not just a performance effect. Give the pan setting its own screen (divide stereo spectrum into 8 left/8 right so pan can be sequenced on a step-by-step basis just like velocity). Include mixer state and grid FX in Scenes. Please?

Just bought Novation circuit tracks, all I can say its great machine to make tracks and live jamming.
Looking forward to buy rhythm as well, I think they will be great team to make live jamming...

I love the not polyphony "limitation"
It forces you to create chords and sample them!

I was stuck... now I am out of the learning valley. BigUps for this tutorial m8. Great stuff!

In slice mode, can you change how the slices play (e.g. playthrough, gated or looped)? Also, can you parameter-lock the pitch of specific slices in the step editor? I know you could workaround the latter by copying each slice as a unique sample but that would eat up 4/8/16 sample slots instead of just the one. If these things are not presently possible, please consider them for firmware updates.

Though i'm french and you'are really sounding British (Australian?) I understand about all your' explanation. Want 2 thank U for that. 😊

[detrechter]

Daar Calc….can you chain patterns like with the original Circuit to make longer ones? And record directly into those chained paterns?

[bombcollective]

Rhythms cool and that, where did you get that t-shirt though ?

[hvhvgitaar]

Brilliant demonstration, thanks! Budget forces me to choose between this one and the Tracks. Torture!!!

[LuisTorres-qzkr]

Very cool. Is the maximum allowed sample time of 3min 40 sec the total for the eight tracks combined? Or, is it 3:40 per track sample?

[leewightman]

I find the rhythm an almost perfect device its so fun to use everything on the device was thought out well novation are geniuses to make a device that works so well if the Roland sp404 was steven Hawkins the novation circuit rhythm would be bryan cox .. meaning it makes a complicated thing seem simple and fun....i wonder if novation will add an eq to either the mixer for individual tracks where u could just scroll down after pan to get the functions or even a master eq as a grid effect ..i keep seeing people wanting time stretch that would be cool ..but even a time stretch effect on grid effects would sound cool. Or a way to turn normalize on and off...

[firstandlast]

@ 13:15 how did you know before hand that it was the G note that gave you the desired span of the sample across the 16 steps?

[aheadaerosol]

Not being able to record in stereo and only to mono-summed files is a serious deal breaker.

[antdog]

Oow, a loop of 14:45 and 14:34 would sound great with the melody looping after. 20:54 is sick. 1:05:40 sick. Outro is sickness
