NC Companion - Novation Circuit Performance and Production Toolkit - incl. Vanilla Patch Editor!
NC Companion is a supporting app for both Novation Circuit Tracks and the original Circuit. It gives you more freedom in what you can do on the Circuits, more ways to tweak sounds, more insights and perhaps most importantly: Less hassle with switching views on the Circuit!
You will get
- a versatile mixer with configurable knobs (e.g.for effects, panning, filters, etc.), volume faders and mute buttons for each of the Circuit tracks. The silent function allows you to record several changes and have them all take effect at once.
- a performance page with up to 16 fully configurable faders or 8 XY pads. Almost every parameter of the circuits can be modified in real time. Values can also be locked, so that the controls will return to them at an adjustable speed (excellent for automatic fades)
- snapshots of all currently set mixers and performance values can be set and recalled with a single gesture. Snapshots are real time optimized and can be called up seamlessly while the performance is running
- a macro view that provides a detailed overview of what is configured on which macro. Including source and destination of modulation matrix parameters
- A sample tuner to play and record drum track samples in tune. You can even play them on a keyboard
- An effect editor to create your own delays, reverbs and sidechains. New effects can be saved as named presets
- up to 64 presets for your individual setups. You can also link presets to projects/sessions, so that presets are automatically loaded when a project/session is switched
- generic hardware controler support with midi learn. Button LEDs are supported for Novation LaunchControl XL, Akai MidiMix and Aturia Beatstep. Ready-to-use configurations for these controllers are also included.
- a comprehensive pdf manual.
New: No including Vanilla! Vanilla is an alternative patch editor that brings back the ease and fun of vintage analog synthesizers.
