Novation Circuit Rhythm

Circuit Rhythm: Sampling. Beatmaking. Performance.

Circuit Rhythm is the powerful and versatile standalone sampler for modern beatmakers. Samples can be recorded directly into the hardware, sliced, flipped, looped, resampled and played chromatically - all right in the device. Grid-based effects liven up your live performances with lofi band simulation, stutter interjections, beat repeat effects and more.

Eight sample tracks, each with its own 32-step patterns, cascadable for up to 256 steps per track, make for seamless beat creation workflows. The powerful and easy-to-use sequencer lets you effortlessly go from sample to complete beat. Grooves can be quantized or captured off-grid in the sequencer. In addition, probability functions and pattern mutation capabilities keep your beats evolving.

Circuit Rhythm's extensive connectivity options include full-size, five-pin MIDI jacks (In, Out, Thru) and an analog sync output. This makes Circuit Rhythm the perfect sample partner for any studio setup. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of battery life, so you can create beats on the go. Plus, Novation Components gives you a platform to load samples and back up your work.
