A powerful and versatile standalone sampler for the modern beatmaker
The CIRCUIT series' powerful and versatile standalone sampler lets you create tracks with an intuitive workflow. Record samples, quickly edit them, create sequences across eight tracks, and use Grid FX and Mix FX to create beats in any situation, from live performances to studio productions.
The comprehensive MIDI synchronization function allows it to be incorporated into various studio setups, and the editing software Components allows sample management, grid FX customization,
The battery-powered design allows you to easily create beats anywhere, and the compact body is equipped with functions that can flexibly accommodate the creator's production environment.
■Sample recording and editing
The signal input from the LineInput can be sampled and recorded directly to the hardware for quick and easy editing. Choose playback methods such as reverse, loop, and slice, play chromatically, and resample the edited sound to create a sequence.
You can enjoy making beats using samples by creating bass lines and melodies, or inputting drums.
Of course, external sample data can also be easily imported using the editing software Components.
■Performance with Grid FX By using Grid FX, you can create performance-rich grooves in your live set with just one finger.
It comes equipped with effects that will add extreme effects to your mix, including lo-fi tape simulation, beat repeat, and gate, and can also be customized using Components.
MixFX adds expression to your beats with rich reverb, delay, and sidechain effects, while the master compressor adds punch. By taking full advantage of the effects built into CIRCUIT RHYTHM, you can pursue the perfection of your music.

■ 8 sequencer tracks
Eight sample tracks can each create sequence patterns of up to 32 steps.
Choose from a variety of input methods to suit your style, including quantized input, off-grid recording, and drum pad mode. Create beats by chaining up to eight patterns (256 steps) of tracks. You can also change how steps are played by using probability and reverse, enhancing the dynamics and performance of your beats.
■Flexible response to creators' production environments
Insert a microSD card (sold separately) to store and access thousands of samples and projects. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 4 hours of battery life, allowing you to enjoy casual beat-making on the go. The Novation Components management and editing software offers a visually intuitive interface for loading samples, backing up projects, customizing grid FX, and more.
■Connections that create free performance
You can synchronize with external devices using MIDI (In, Out, Thru) and sync input/output, and create music using a DAW via USB-MIDI. The sequencer can also record macro control knob movements, so knob operations recorded in CIRCUIT RHYTHM can be output to external devices via the MIDI out terminal, making it easy to control them.
■Abundant added value
Novation offers a variety of additional services to support creators.
A typical example is Sound Collective, which regularly offers free licenses and discount coupons for popular plugins.
Creators can enjoy services that allow them to immerse themselves in music production, such as a subscription service that allows them to use sample libraries for a fixed fee, and a free two-month license for SpliceSounds.
