Great distillation of info and EP is splendid. One tip may be of use: around 2:39 using Components to adjust project colour is mentioned, but it can be easier to do this on the Circuit itself, after the first click of ‘save’ the Tune knob controls the hue.

Great tips on how to get the most out of the Rhythm, thanks!

Just bought a Circuit Rhythm and agree it is such a super workflow. And thank you for the brilliant tips

Great video. I've watched loads over the past year to get various tips and tricks. I also have the circuit tracks and often play with one for a week them flip back to the Rythym. I have joined both together via midi but not so much lately as it's easier to just casually mess around with one when chilling on the sofa.

Yes, the hands are a bit annoying but great insight and very helpful! Keep sharing your experiences, thanks for the help!

Loved the vid! If you do another one of these on the circuit rhythm, I'd go in the direction of another deep dive on techniques, getting the most out of the unit, etc, as opposed to a pros/cons list. I think this far into a product cycle, there's plenty of feature showcases and pros/cons lists on YouTube, but fewer that dive deep into stretching the product beyond a lofi or techno beat. Hearing you do genreless music based on self recorded samples and stretching them into full tracks was truly a breath of fresh air, and probably my favorite of anything I've seen anyone do on the rhythm. Thanks!

I just got my Circuit Rhythm today and this video helped explain a lot. I look forward to more cool and useful tips on the Circuit Rhythm.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing. How long did it take you to put together this EP? I dropped a Circuit Rhythm 28 min beattape performance and it took about 6 weeks from scratch to release.

What is your approach for automating FX sends? Do you have any tricks for messing with knobs for a build up and then coming back to the original values for the drop?
