Circuit TRACKS Review + EXCLUSIVE template for playing melodies with samples

Hi!

The first half of the leaked new Circuit duo is here: Circuit Tracks.

Unlike Circuit Rhythm, which from the leaks seems like a different instrument, Circuit Tracks is more like a "Circuit MK2" - it has the same internal engine, but a lot is new and improved. More details in my video.

Since Circuit Tracks (still!) doesn't let you play or sequence samples melodically, I figured it would only be appropriate if I recreated my "Playing melodies with samples template MK2" for it - the little trick that was one of the first "hacks" I shared on the channel.

Attached to this post is everything you need - it's a project file that has two patterns:

1. Drum 4, Pattern 1: The upper octave and a half in a chromatic scale
2. Drum 4, Pattern 2: The bottom two octaves in a chromatic scale (note tuning in the bottom octave is somewhat hit and miss in the very low notes)

Patterns now have 32 steps, so to page through a pattern to swap octaves.

You can use these patterns to play samples melodically when in Velocity or Gate views, or just copy the notes from the patterns to the places where you want them to play.

I'll be adding plenty more circuit-specific (and general) tips to the upcoming book update - so stay tuned for that!

All my best,

Ziv (still playing melodies with samples on Circuit after all this time on YouTube as "Loopop"...)
