Novation Circuit Rhythm is a powerful and versatile standalone sampler for the modern beatmaker. Samples can be recorded directly to the hardware, sliced, sculpted, reversed, looped, resampled and played chromatically – all in the box. Grid FX invigorate your live performances with lo-fi tape, stutter, beat repeat effects and more.
Circuit Rhythm firmware 2.0 update
Firmware 2.0 update adds significant new features to Circuit Rhythm, making it more intuitive than ever to use with more ways for users to be expressive with their beats. With Beat Match, you can pitch your samples up or down to get drum breaks perfectly in time with your session and make your beats flow seamlessly. Fixed Length Recording lets you record samples so that they'll be perfectly in time with your current project. Beatmakers can create dynamic sonic performances and take control of grid FX parameters directly from Circuit Rhythm using editable Grid FX.
Eight sample tracks – each with their own 32-step patterns, chainable for up to 256 steps per track – provide a seamless beatmaking workflow. Go from a sample to a complete beat with ease using the powerful 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 5-pin MIDI in, out and thru as well as 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, while Novation Components provides a platform to load samples and backup your work.
