There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So, I dove into the world of synthesis and for a long time, used the Circuit to sequence my growing collection of synths. But I was annoyed that I had to sacrifice something, usually the Circuit's onboard synth tones, to sequence external gear. I got a Launchpad Pro and really liked it, as it's workflow is nearly identical to the Circuit. Yet that left me needing a full array of gear and a mixer to jam DAWless style.
Fast forward to now. I've largely gotten out of music but have kept more portable pieces of gear to jam with on the fly when inspiration hits. I looked up sequencers for fun here on Amazon and came across this. I just had to have it.
And now, I come to the review title: This iteration of the Circuit is EXACTLY what I've been wanting!! Two onboard synth channels (that I could still mute for more external gear sequencing!) that I'll largely leave alone, FOUR drum tracks, that not only play drum samples, but other sample types as well, and TWO MIDI control tracks dedicated to controlling external gear!! Still battery powered and to add more icing to this cake, has two audio inputs!!
This has been great. I just grab this, two portable synths and some cables. Connect this Circuit Tracks to the other synths via MIDI and audio cable, then connect it to my Yamaha receiver, which sports connections to Polk Audio Bookshelf and center channel speakers, and a powered subwoofer, power everything on and get jamming!!
If I want to do some knob twisting, I can noodle around on my external synths to my heart's content. Heck, I've even plugged in a small mixer I've got, and added my FLAMMA multi effects guitar pedal with an electric guitar and added some guitar work to my jams!! This Circuit fits my needs perfectly!!
While this iteration of the Circuit seems a little less durable than my first generation Circuit, it still feels fairly durable, and battery life seems respectable; It's not a massive fuel tank that'll keep you going all day, but you can get a few hours out of it. Some folks may resent the fact that this Tracks and the Circuit Rhythm have non-swappable lithium batteries instead of the easily swapped AA batteries the original Circuit had, but for me, literally jamming in my bedroom, it's not a concern either way.
Software seems fairly stable....I did have issues connecting to Novation Components, and had to download the software and update my Tracks offline. I still need to learn how to use the Scenes feature, and I know that'll be handy when I get around to making full length songs and recording them. But, I still think there's room for improvement here. I hope Novation still has a lot of plans to update and stabilize these devices.
Overall though, I am stoked with this device and as I've outlined, it's exactly what I've wanted in a sequencer. I'm hoping this turns out to be at least as reliable as my old Circuit is though!
Prior to purchase I looked at groove-boxes from Roland, MPC, Elekton etc., and, based on price, flexibility and reviews I went with the Circuit Tracks. I watched tutorial videos (YouTube and Novation have a good number) and was pretty familiar with the device before it arrived. This definitely made for a more enjoyable experience when I finally had this thing in my hands. One of my favorite features is the ability to connect it to you computer and use the Components (free from Novation) software to download new sound-packs. You can download some free stuff from Novation or purchase sound-packs (they're not expensive) for the types of music you like. Isotonik Studios has some good ones. This allows you to change the sound of the Tracks to suite your music style and means the device does not have a fixed sound, and almost seems like a new groovebox after you change the sound packs.
Cons: Recording. You get an awesome (to you) sounding track and want to record it and export it to a format (mp3 etc) that you can play on other devices? I won't go into the details, but it's not easy. There are some good videos from Gabe Miller Music (great source of info) on YouTube on how to get your track off the Tracks, but it's a process and requires additional equipment.
Overall, this is a very user-friendly device and just fun to play around with. I felt like I was making songs that sounded really good quickly. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get into making their own music.

The Circuit Rhythm is an amazing groove box / sampler that although it may be somewhat simple and basic in its features/functionality makes it extremely easy to turn your musical ideas into something quickly and easily no matter where you are.
I love to sit outside, on the couch, in bed, or just jam out wherever I please and it has made music production FUN again.
No me gustan mucho la sensación de tacto de los knobs de Shi en fuera excelente.
Si buscan comprar un case para su cuidado pueden encontrar el UDG de su versión anterior de circuit solo recortan un Poco la espuma y listo.
