| Name | Version: | Novation Circuit Drum Controls with M4L Presets 1.0 |
| Author: | TBTAHG |
| Device Type: | MIDI Effect |
| Description: | This is a small device that allows you to control Novation Circuit's drum voices from within Ableton Live, using any midi controller you like (e.g. Push, APC40, LaunchPad, LaunchControl, ...); while reversely, it allows you to record everything you do with Circuit's drum voices as automation into Live, allowing for complete fine-tuning / editing of any drum parameters on the machine. Furthermore, I've added native M4L presets, so you can save and recall different 'drum kits' and seamlessly jump from one kit to the other (so instead of selecting four drum sounds separately, you can just load a whole 'kit' at once). Notice that these 'kits' will be recalled from the M4L device, meaning you will have to save a session slot containing the kit on the Circuit itself if you want to use it in a stand-alone setting later. HOW TO USE THIS DEVICE: - Simply drop the device onto an empty MIDI track and use a Live External Instrument or the 'MIDI To' track routing to send the output to your Novation Circuit on channel 10. - Regarding 'MIDI In' settings: you can just set the 'MIDI In' settings of the track to Novation Circuit, channel 10 again, but I personally use this little device here (-> http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/3007/midi-router-and-receiver-xs ) to route MIDI from any MIDI Controller to the device on the moment I need it there. To accomplish this, I create a separate MIDI track for each controller, set it's 'MIDI In' to the controller and channel in question (e.g. here you'll need a track with 'MIDI In' set to Circuit, channel 10) and drop an instance of the 'MIDI Router' device on it (+ arm the track). Next you put an instance of the 'MIDI Receiver' device on the track containing the 'Circuit Drum Controls' device. (Make sure it comes before the actual drum controls in your instrument/effect-chain + set the track's 'MIDI In' to 'No Input') and make a one-on-one connection between the router and receiver by e.g. setting them both to channel 1. To access the drum controls using other MIDI-controllers, just repeat the above process for every controller you want to use. (Tip: save template sets!) Enjoy! P.S.: I also made another device which does basically the same as this one, but for the global / session controls on Novation Circuit.
