Frequently Asked Questions
The pack includes 32 drum pattern sessions split across four groove styles: 8 Rock, 8 Disco, 8 Funk, and 8 Hip Hop sessions, giving you a broad range of authentic rhythmic inspiration.
Two drumkit editions are included: Acoustic and Electronic Vintage, letting you switch between a natural drum sound and a classic electronic character depending on your production.
The 128 patches combine exclusive free presets from Yves Big City’s own library alongside a curated selection of the best factory sounds from the Circuit itself.
Each session includes 16 Chord Memory slots by step, which allows you to layer harmonic content dynamically over your drum patterns during live play, adding movement and musicality to your performances.
It works brilliantly for both. The pre-arranged sessions and Chord Memory feature make it a strong live performance tool, while the authentic groove patterns provide solid rhythmic foundations for studio productions.
Sessions are loaded onto your Novation Circuit using Novation’s Components web app, which handles all the transfer directly from your browser. No additional software is required beyond that.
