    I create my rhythms this way too Bo. I think the Circuit was the best first purchase for me in synthesis. Straight after I bought a Korg Monologue and this pair allow me to create great tunes. I’m just about to buy a Behringer pro one to add.

    Ok, I hadn't realized you can have any sample triggered at any time. Mind=blown. Really opens up the beat possibilities. Wow
    These workflow videos are so helpful. Thank you.

    Wow. You know the old saying of you are only limited by your creativity? Well at this moment I'm limiting my Circuit's drum programming possibilities! Great video, I have much to learn...

    • @BoBeats
      @BoBeats  7 років тому +1

      Just keep at it. And do not be afraid to just hammer away on those pads, remove steps that you dislike, and sculpt a beat. Using "overdub" to record additional sounds.

      Cheers for the encouragement! I've had the circuit 7 months now and have been loving it's synth sounds and ability to create beautiful chord progressions and melodies. It's great to know I don't need anymore gear for a long while, when I've got so much potential in here

    I've been toying with the idea of getting a circuit for a few weeks now. Your videos are all really good. But I play my horn and keyboards live and already have a drum machine so I'm leaning very heavily towards the RC505 loop station. As an instrumentalist it seems more up my alley.

    @duketranslucent3rd 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for the helpful vid. To what extent would you consider this a one-stop-shop, or do you see it as part of a wider set up? Is the drum performance good enough to not need a separate drum unit, for example? What else would you partner with it?

    Hi, Thanks for the video. Do you know, if i can clear one channel completely? So suppose I have kick on drum1, and some complex groove on drum2. Can i reset just the drum2 groove, and clear everything for drum2 while keeping the kick pattern on drum1? Thank you

    • @BoBeats
      @BoBeats  7 років тому +1

      Hey! Thanks! To my knowledge this can not be done in any quick way. You basically have to either remove everything in a pattern at once (per channel) OR you have to go pattern by pattern deleting individual notes. This is an annoying feature for sure

    Do you think they will nice together? Or should I just connect the launchpad to an iPhone/pad and use an app there for mobile music making? I have the Korg gadget app, but didn't buy the €45 cable to connect them jet.

    As a drummer, this is exactly how I do not create any kind of beat. xD Too each their own however, there are no rules, only past experience. There is nothing wrong with your method for making beats. It's all subjective, but I am fortunate to have 30 years of drumming under my belt, and my experience tells me that the BASS PLAYER determines what the beat should be, so write the bass line first (unless you just have an AWESOME beat that even a bass player would be envious of).
