A live, semi-improvised jam centred around Novation's new little groovebox. I started out this hardware journey on the original Circuit, and since then have tried one or two pieces of gear, but it's a real pleasure to come back to my first inspiration. The Circuit Tracks is a brilliant iteration on the Circuit's design, adding a pair of mono audio inputs and two dedicated MIDI tracks, as well a bunch of other quality of life stuff. It was a great place to start into hardware sequencing and performance before, but now it's basically my first choice whenever someone says they are looking for where to start out.
Kudos to the Volca series, as well, for offering analog sound and decent interfaces at ridiculously good prices. The Volca Bass and Keys both sound great, with the Keys especially having a lo-fi quality to it (love that reverb). Paired with the Circuit, they really come alive.
Novation Circuit Tracks - Drums, two synths, audio routing and effects
Korg Volca Bass - Arp-sort-of-thing
Korg Volca Keys - Pad
Written and recorded over a 48-hour period, performed live, and with compression, EQ, and limiting on the master.

Brilliant. More circuit tracks jams please.
It is in my favourites and I keep listening to this over and over for years.
Four-on-the-floor challenge met without any doubt! 🤩
Incredible composition.
I also appreciate that you don't talk over the music but clearly show and explain what you are doing.
I love my Tracks and Volca Bass. These budget pieces of gear absolutely prove that you don’t need to dump thousands to make good music. Excellent jam. I also love just tweaking the frequency while playing with the muting on the mixer. Such a fun way to make the most out of one sequence.
This tune has literally been in my head all day.
That was an awesome example of what you can do with the circuit
best circuit tracks jam on the internet!
I love how no matter what you’re making music on, it always has that “Jay” sound.
Finally a great demo of the Tracks!
Listen, I love this song and need it on Spotify ASAP plz. Thanks :)
I’m grateful mate. I just started my journey in the DAW-less universe with circuit and seeing how you handle those pieces of hardware to make an amazing jam is inspiring, insightful and motivating. You’ve got a new subscriber!
The "Hoskianna" is BURNING here ! So Sweet to open the browser , and a New JH tune has ticked in ! Thank You Jay - You...Are...The...Best...!
With the volca fm it will be mind blowiing
this song is so cool bro
Very nice! Came over here from the Midlife Synthesist! Subbed!
I really loved this piece of music. Uplifting with positive anticipation of what was coming next. It really held my attention with moments of wandering imagination here and there. Great work. More please.
Circuit Monostation, Tracks, and forthcoming Rhythm are awesome. Now Novation need to make a Circuit-sequencer-based multitrack to compete with Roland Verselab and similar.
I've been thinking about which drum machine to buy... Then I saw this and realised that the Circuit actually could give more than just drums!
Best channel for actual demos, with good musical style, and nice text explanations.
So inspiring!
killer demo and knowledge sharing... i am DEFINITELY gonna get circuit tracks now lol very soon....
Thanks for sharing. I found the music very pleasant. It demonstrated the unit well and was better than a review video as far as conceptualizing the NC.
so sick!!!
Very well explained video. Many thanks.
I think the Volcas pair nicely with the new Circuit. I plan on hooking mine up with the FM and NuBass when it gets here.
Better than most stuff I hear on commercial radio! Awesome!
So good !!
Just starting out in Synths and have purchased the Circuit Tracks. Thank you for such an informative video.
I just got a Circuit Tracks but really no idea how to use it. This helps and inspires. 👏👏👏
Nice…Class Of 2004-Topic🎶‼️
Always a pleasure to see the synth master at work, cheers Jay
So inspiring❤
Great track!
Goodness! Love it! I was already climbing the fence to save up for a Tracks and now I don't think I can get over the fence fast enough. Thanks for your videos. They're awesome!
This video sold me on buying this setup.
There are absolutely times I miss my original Circuit and Mono Station. Such a delightful interface!
I just picked up a Mono Station for this reason too! Criminally underrated.
@@JayHosking criminally underrated!
Excited for when they release the new sampler
The Monostation is so badass but for some reason didn't catch on with the general public. Novation and Arturia are really the best when it comes to creating digital interfaces to control analog voices. Astounding they haven't added an arp to the Circuit though. I wonder what that's about. Like the head designer is against arpeggiators or something.
@@TROGULAR10000 I think they really missed the mark with not adding the diode filter from the BS2. I think that probably hurt them the most with that product.
I’m just glad I got mine at the clearance price when they were in the last batch and just when patch flip came out.
Incredible...
Fun and useful, thanks!
Nice track.
The Volca keys really has a lovely tone. Never selling mine.
this was really nice
Lately Roland.with aria group and theSH-4D is in my opinion synths of the year! The mini of Beringer and m1 aren’t far behind!
Lovely composition, you got an almost analogue sound out of the Circuit synth engine to complement the analogue Volcas. I will be upgrading from my OG circuit to the circuit tracks soon. Thanks for uploading this and for your helpful notes as to what you're doing. I tend to use the mixer to cut and open/fade parts, too. I think I'll be using the midi tracks a lot as well as the probability and scenes, too.
Superb!
Great work!
If only I had discovered the Circuit Tracks earlier.
I NEEEEEED IT
¡Gracias!
Awesome Video
Ok i just ordered a Tracks. More of these jams plz :)
Really great song! Really left me hanging with coming in with that second bass note though 😄
Hah!
Excellent !!!
Circuit eh hmmm got me thinking but then I am always doing that when I see gear. Like what you're doing with it though really nice demo.
incredibly cool👍
Very Nice track
Lovely!
i love the novation circuit tracks too
I am volca gear fan, great work !
"come with me if you want to live" :)
ok i have to buy this thing
This was dooope! I got 2 Volca FMs and about to buy a Circuit Tracks today! I'm so excited to finally get my hands on one!
Yeah, the volcas are great. i love them
I find it inspirational ... and I like the vibe, especiall\y second part ...
Sounds Jaytastic! Beats and greetz from Germany! 🎶🎵🎧🤖👌
thanks you actually explained a lot about the novation tracks too. I am very shocked that the mc 707 had no side chaining or the randomizer for notes, I didnt think it did anyway. Maybe with some menu diving. But the novation tracks seems to make everything so accessable even quite advanced things like changing the sequence resolution. A lot of stuff you think you have to fork out 500+ for some fancy ass sequencer like the polend play but this already has it. I cannot wait to get mine and use with my volca drum, behrigner crave, modal skulpt
dude, this is amazing!
Awesome video, thank you. I have all of the volcas and this seems like a perfect partner to them!
Thanks
Wow, thank you!
@@JayHosking I wish I could give more... But I wanted to show how grateful I am... This is my kind of jam. I bought the NCT after I saw this.... paired it with my Korg Monologue and a Meris Polymoon + EHX looper ... then bought the Rhythm for sampling .... You were the original inspiration THX SO MUCH ..
(I am actually therapist and and music is my therapy... I saw your video and you made me realise what my favourite new therapy is for myself...making music not just listening... Ableton Live never appeared to me. I needed a Dawless setup and you showed me what was possible
Awesome Jay :)
Ideal first set up. Great music Jay.
Fantastic Jam.
Sick 🤘🏽🔥
Hey nice jam!!
Really enjoyed that, great work!
Great music and emotion coming from just a few pieces of gear! Love it!
Man I dig your setup. Thanks for the groove.
The original circuit was a great little machine and this new one looks even better. This mix sounds cleaner than some of your bigger multi-instrument setups, maybe there is something to be said for more sounds in the same device; maybe its just a sparser arrangement
Lovely 🥰
Great video, great track. I have one stuck in backorder limbo right now, can't wait to get my hands on it.
Perfect! I have a volca keys and bass and always wanted to jam but never managed to get any gear (tried iPad) to talk to each other!
Try Caustic on the iPad, but ya need a interface, no aux out :(
Jam🔥
Great track. Love that big, reverb washed synth pad.
I sorely missed the way the original Circuit pattern chained when I'm working with Tracks. Tracks feels more restrictive in how sequences can be arranged.
But you have scenes now and you can chain those...
Incredible yet again! Thanks Jay!
Wow thats nice. Getting some good sounds out of those things…
This is so freaking good!
This was incredible
Great videos on the circuit tracks, it's a solid device!
One thing I noticed in this video particularly: I wish the camera was manually/locked focused.
Agreed! It was an oversight, or maybe a cancelled command on the camera. In any case, once I'd recorded, I didn't want to try to re-capture the magic. Onwards and upwards. And thanks for the kind words!
That was mind-blowingly awesome. And yes, I too love the Volcas (I have the Drum and the Bass - both great little boxes). Up until now, I've not really looked at groove-boxes like the Circuit but this video has convinced me of the need for a deeper look. My thoughts after watching this video are that I think it'd be a great pairing with the NDLR, and I'm also needing some sort of polyphonic pad synth (well, maybe a pair of Volca Keys poly-chained?)
Excellent Jay, really enjoyed this Jam. Great Recording & Performance, well worked.
Thanks
top sound from a tidy set up!
That was great! Nice work 👊
Great music ... thank you so much dear Jay - GOOD LUCK !
Flat out great song.
great track. Seems great to get that much sound for such a good price. well done
Impeccable as always!
Awesome stuff Jay thank you very much, very informative and also nice and simple, yet still has a vibe and one that resonated. I'd love something longer sometime, something moody and ambient, a journey. Hope you're well Jay
Agreed. It's time to get back to some more ambient pieces. I've got a really special synth coming and I'll be hooking it up to the NDLR straight away. And thanks so much!
@@JayHosking Awesome, that's something to look forward to!
Sounds good dude. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love it! Challenge complete
so dope! great work
