I should say, a 3 minute live performance

Thanks guys. Do either have an arpeggiator?

The Circuit is just such eye candy its hard not to lean towards it. The sampling ability is what draws me towards it.
How complicated is it to sample from a microphone? Say I wanted to sample someone in my crowd and add it to my beat, is this realistic?

Since when does the circuit sample?

it doesnt.. there is a software rumored to let you adjust and possibly give you access to more sounds and possibly to load samples.. back up data and other functionality.. they have been leaving little bits on the facebook user pager but they are keeping the details under wraps it seems.. i am guessing it will be released around the holidays to create hype..

And if that's the case, maybe korg will follow suit and give an actual proper update to the Os, including the ability to swap between e2 and e2s. Then again, maybe not....this is korg, after all.

Ahh yes the hinted at software....well if it allows to load user samples, I'll be a lot more interested in this little box.

If it takes time and learning to get the most out of an instrument with limitations and faults, personally I don't think that means it's a bad instrument. It's just a challenge.

I don't think that the Electribes are really a competitor to the Novation seeing as the Circuit is kind of a "bump into and create random ideas box" and the Electribe is a recording and performance machine.

As I continue to use the Electribe Sampler, I am finding it more and more useful and more and more usable.

Just my two cents, of course!

Here's my Novation Circuit trial run, a mini live set testing a new way of performing:
