Circuit Rhythm is a powerful and versatile standalone sampler for the modern beatmaker. Samples can be recorded directly to the hardware, then sliced sculpted, reversed, looped, resampled and played chromatically — all in the box. Grid FX invigorates your live performances, with lo-fi tape, stutter, beat repeat effects, and more. Eight Sample tracks — each with their own 32-step patterns, chainable for up to 256 steps per track — provide a seamless beat-making workflow. Go from a sample to a complete beat with ease using the powerful and hands-on sequencer. Grooves can be quantized or captured off-grid into the sequencer, and probability and pattern mutate controls keep your beats evolving. Circuit Rhythm’s comprehensive connectivity includes full-size five-pin MIDI in, out, and thru, and analog sync out, making it the perfect sampler partner to any studio rig. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of battery life, so you can make beats on the move, and Novation Components provides a platform to load samples and back up your work.
