Product Description

Want some instant electronic inspiration? Get on board with the Novation Circuit – the standalone groove box which makes creativity second nature. Start making music in seconds –with Nova-heritage synths, expertly sculpted drums or your own samples.

Circuit v1.8 is here!
Non-quantized recording
Capturesynth and drum tracks directly to micro-steps, representing even your most rhythmically complex ideas in alltheir atemporal glory. From wonky Dilla-style beats and quick-fire fills to authentic-sounding strums and beyond.

Synth microstep editing
With six micro-steps to every full step, you’ve got plenty of resolution for repositioning notes off the grid, enabling the programming of subtle timing tweaks, fast triplets and more.

Per-note velocity tracking
Notes recorded over other notes on the same step maintain their velocities independently, andyou can manually edit those velocities after the fact.

Assignable MIDI channels
Set Synth 1, Synth 2 and Drums to whichever MIDI channels you like, from 1 to 15, forincreased flexibility when integrating Circuit into your broader studio setup.

All Circuitfirmware updates areavailable now as a free download within Novation’sComponents content manager.

    Circuit v1.7 Update!
    Circuit v1.7 is an update to the Firmware that unlocks new features. The update is free, fast and easy to install.

    Make Songs - The Pattern Chain Sequence function allows for up to 32 patterns and 16 chains of patterns to be selected in any order. Patterns and chains can be repeated, and sequences can be build up and easily navigated between. The append setting can be toggled to add patterns and chains to an existing pattern sequence, even when playing.

    Create Tied/Drone Notes - Each step has a tie-forward setting, making it possible to tie notes together in order to create drone notes and long ambient pads.

    Take Music off the Grid - Take music off the grid by delaying notes on a step from one to five ticks (each step is divided up into six ticks). Use Synth Micro-nudge to create new, more complex rhythms like triplets across the beat
    Circuit v1.6 Update!
    Circuit v1.6 is an update to the Firmware that unlocks new features. The update is free, fast and easy to install.

    Panning – Panning has been the single most requested feature of the community to date. It enables users to create audio landscapes or integrate with their favorite hardware.

    Drum Micro Steps – Using Drum Micro Steps as a beat-building tool, Circuit v1.6 adds instant fills and stutter effects to users’ workflows, re triggering a sample up to six times within each step.

    Light Dim – Is Circuit’s brightness intruding when the room darkens? Light Dim will help to set the mood for all sorts of romantic occasions with its brightness setting.

    FX Mute – Used to mute any unwanted FX, making it easier to connect with external hardware processors.
