Novation Circuit Tracks

Novation Circuit Tracks Groovebox

Novation Circuit Tracks is a fast, hands-on groovebox with two polyphonic digital synth tracks, two MIDI tracks and four drum tracks. The sequencer creates 32-step patterns that can be chained into sequences of up to 256 steps per track and assigned to scenes to arrange full songs, with microtiming, probability and pattern mutate. Velocity-sensitive pads and tactile controls with customisable patches make it suited to live performance.

Hundreds of artist-made presets are included, and samples (over three minutes of audio per pack) are loaded from microSD to the drum tracks. Reverb, delay, sidechain and a master compressor process synths, drums and incoming audio. Full-size MIDI in, out and thru, analogue sync out and audio inputs integrate it with other gear, and the two MIDI tracks send notes and CC automation to external equipment. The rugged, compact build and rechargeable battery make it portable; Novation Components gives on-screen editing, sample loading and backup.
