In the latest firmware update you can now use the mod sequencer as a separate synth track using the cv gate outputs. So you could sequence like a Sub 37 for instance separately from the Monostation,

Finally indeed! Glad you have one as well. My recent go to setup has been Circuit, Mono Station and Digitone. Analog and FM, seven parts, lots of sequencing possibilities. Tons of fun! Thanks for ‘finally’ getting around to this piece of gear. It’s worth the wait :)

Total newbie questions: 1. Can the patch save feature save MicroBrute patches and make that machine's workflow more efficient? 2. How does this compare to the OP-Z's functionality, it seems like a "bigger, more obvious" set of buttons in a less mobile package. Thanks!
@jaysonnorman8955 4 жыл бұрын
I see there 64 different synth patches onboard. Would you say they're versatile enough? I was thinking of using the mono circuit with a keyboard controller, and use the patterns here and there for added inspiration.

@DiAL033 5 жыл бұрын
TBH as much as I like the Circuit as a gateway drug to synths, to me the Mono represents missed opportunities. My perfect mono station: - no sequencer - grid with cv jacks/attenuators on x and y to form modmatrix - grid x/y has pre-defined internal routing, cv overrides - usb host mode to hook up a Circuit for sequencing (or any other device) - make it truly bi-directional: Mono CV input -> Circuit Macro 1

If you're a key kind of a synth player, and have no need for a more elaborate built in sequenser - is there any reason to get this over the Bass Station II? The basic sounds from the oscillators and the filter seem to be quite the same? And I really like that Novation sound!
@BoBeats 5 жыл бұрын
If you prefer keys = Bass Station 2 for sure. The sequencers are very cool but unless you plan on going deep the BS2 is probably the better buy.

which cabel did you need to synch the impact with the mono station?
@JH-lo9ut 3 жыл бұрын
Standard MIDI from the drumbrute, via an adaptor dongle (the yellow cable) to 3,5 mm midi input on the mono station. You get two or three of those dongles with the mono station. Both machines have analogue clock-in/ clock-out too, so in a pinch, all you need to sync them is a 3,5mm jack cable.

@rchrd3353 5 жыл бұрын
this thing has interested me from the start but its price tag really hurts it . most people would rather get a korg monologue for cheaper and with keys and a sequencer (albeit more limited sequencer) .. and many people already have a bass station 2 so the purchase is redundant for some of them as well. i personally love the sequencer of the circuit and would probably prefer having a mono station to my monologue if i could have gotten one for the price of my monologue . definitely will give it a shot at some point, though. keeping an eye out for a used one sub 300 before i'll probably bite.

Hi Bo. Great video. I’m in a post punk electro band and was wondering if this machine can do drum machine stuff or is better t circuit? Want something with a small footprint and synth capabilities as well. I see that there’s no allocated drum channel but could I still upload with sd card some drum machine sounds? Not up to carry as well a drum machine basically. Would be of great help to know. Thanks!

The Novation Circuit (not mono station) and MC101 from Roland comes to mind. Circuit has 4 sample tracks and MC101 has 16 drum sounds per track, and you can have 4 tracks total. Check my MC101 review

It is a bit confusing at first, but totally possible to learn. Something like a microbrute would perhaps be easier to get the hang on what is going on, if you want to learn how sound synthesis works. Original cirquit is more groovebox than synthesizer and probably the best one if you just want to start making music.
