NC looks like a very powerful beast and there is only one think that does not allow me to buy one. Is the idea that everytime I want to tweak sound I have to use computer. So I bought system one instead and happy.

I was thinking about toget one too but not sure. It sounds great but very limited in functionality. _________________ Korg R3, EMX1, volca keys, minikp 2, electribe 2, prologue, karp oddy, dns 12, all ios apps. |

For those who have iOS, one thing you can do to open the Circuit wide open is build a template in something like Touch OSC that gives you faders and knobs to control every single thing in the midi implementation chart. It took me a good hour or two to set up but now I can plug my iPad in and have almost every single parameter in front of me at once.
You can of course do this with almost any midi controller that has a lot of knobs but I like that Touch OSC makes my Circuit look like it came straight out of Tron. |

I got the novation circuit today. Was much smaller as i expected but without manual i was able to do a lot. Needed only for updating stuff, how chainging patterns and saving. Updated the firmware and with messing around i could change the pitch of each drum in velocity mode. What a cool device. But the lights are way to bright when its dark haha;) But the device is so attractive to mess around, and its very quick to learn, as i said, how stuff works without even looking in the manual. Great!! |

Could you consider uploading the template? |

the chorus is stereo, that helps me a lot with my usage |

This really suck ass. The Browser based librarian etc tools sux. ... a need to login, lags when using the “app” ... a need to have internet connection to load samples, force me to put my creativity to cloud ? Novation messed up this one on multiple points |

Novation's communication and great love for the product is just a bonus here and korg should learn big time. |
great points mate |
