Novation Circuit

My son has had an interest in music for a long time...

So much so, that I had been brainstorming the best way to introduce him to music, without forcing him to take lessons in something.

His favorite type of music is electronic/techno/edm, so I decided to research groovebox's (a box that lets you do drums, synth, and easily make music.

I landed on the Novation Circuit 


The colorful lights, pleasant buttons, and easy to understand sequencer (the lights go left to right to show time) was perfect.

But alot of the really cool synths were only supported on their newer model, the novation circuit tracks (yea... their naming is stupid)

See the difference? lol

Anyway, I decided to let my local qwen model reverse engineer their synth format, to convert the new format, into the old format so he could play with the cool sounds.

It works "mostly" great, im sure there are bugs, but it works good enough for him... 

Heres the code: https://github.com/spiffomatic64/circuit-tracks-to-og
