Description

Novation's Circuit Tracks Groovebox is a self-contained studio tailored for electronic and dance music producers. This all-in-one groovebox offers two digital synth tracks, two MIDI tracks, and four drum tracks and FX on everything, giving you everything you need to create and perform electronic music. Circuit Tracks is designed to inspire creativity with its acclaimed 32-step sequencer, which provides microtiming and pattern mutation to keep your music evolving.

Two Refined Digital Synths Provide a Colossal Sound

The two polyphonic digital synth tracks in Circuit Tracks provide a huge sonic palette for designing your own sounds. Load thousands of your own synth patches and samples on a microSD card to create a customized library. Shape and refine your sounds with reverb, delay, sidechain compression and a master compressor.

Four Drum Tracks for Crafting Rhythms

In addition to the two synth tracks, Circuit Tracks provides four drum tracks for loading drum samples and creating rhythms. Load your own drum samples to design kits tailored to your music. Use the 32-step sequencer to program drum patterns with microtiming and pattern mutation to generate new grooves and keep your listeners engaged.

Total Control Over Your Setup

Circuit Tracks gives you complete control over your setup with two MIDI tracks that can send note and CC automation data. Connect Circuit Tracks to your studio equipment using the full-size five-pin MIDI in, out and thru ports as well as the analog sync out. Process incoming audio through the analog inputs and apply the onboard reverb, delay, sidechain compression and master compressor. Listen through the stereo line outputs or with headphones.

Take Your Studio Anywhere

The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of power, so you can create music anywhere. Save your synth patches, samples and projects to a microSD card to pick up where you left off. Circuit Tracks is a portable production powerhouse for crafting and performing electronic music on the go.

v1.2 Firmware Update

The 1.2 firmware update improves song arrangement and musical performance for the groovebox. You can store muted track states with Scenes to easily arrange tracks without the need to have any empty patterns in projects.

        I bought the original Circuit the week it came out in 2015, fell in love instantly, and over the years trained myself to sequence better parts. This is a fantastic follow up with two additional MIDI lanes. I plan to rock the dance floor with this, a Volca Kick, & a Modal Craft 2.0

      • Excellent..fairly quick learing curve
