Description
As the follow up to Coffee & Beats Volume ONE BoBeats set out with an aim to create a pack where each sound can be tweaked to get the most out of the 64 patch slots.
Patches 1-32 are more unique in their macro layout and the sound types are varied whereas the patches 33-64 have more of a standard feel to them to give you a broad sound palette to work with.
Patches 33-64 can be shaped using macro knob 5 to switch between different oscillator settings which will give the patches different character. Macro knob 8 was used for distortion which in turn was tweaked to add character and variation to the sounds.
COFFEE & BEATS VOLUME TWO CONTENTS:
- 64 Circuit patches BONUS patches!
- 64 carefully selected drum samples from the Sonic Treats series. All are sampled from the Elektron Analog Rytm drum machine and processed.
- 1x FULL pack file for Components with sessions, samples & patches
- 1x 64 patches Components file
- 1x 64 drum samples Components file
- 1x 16 sessions Components file
- All patches as individual .syx files.
- BONUS over 100 drum samples as wave files from Sonic Treats VOL 1&2
All the Macro Knob settings follow a consistent mapping so you always know where you are with your selected patch.

Great collection of patches. The beauty of the way this has been implemented is that there are example synth loops and drum loops which demonstrate what happens when you start messing with the macro knobs. It’s like getting a whole other bunch of sounds. I also like the variety of these sounds and it’s finally encouraged me to use the Circuit without a midi keyboard when I’m travelling. Fab.

A solid collection which saves a lot of leg work, especially on pads. The standardized macro knob layout is useful for those who just want to get on with the business of laying downs beats quickly, and the addition of Analog Rytm samples is very welcome.
On the down side, I found the drums can tend toward the esoteric and I had to load up some more standard sounding kits. The collection could also benefit from a few extra well-crafted mono bass patches.

With this great pack from BoBeats i can bring my Circuit in a new path of inspiration and creativity ! And along with the new firmware 1.7 it’s just an absolute pleasure ! The percussion patches are really nice, simply perfect to create some mysterious dark motifs if you want (thanks to Analog Rytm samples!), or more luminous if want too ! I do appreciate the 16 free sessions to store your own creations.
