Novation Circuit Rhythm Groovebox

General

A sort of little sister to the Novation Circuit Tracks, the Novation Circuit Rhythm is essentially a sample-based beat maker. Load in custom samples from a microSD card or record them in directly and start stacking. You could even describe this groovebox as a twist on classic MPC beat production, but then with a unique x0x-style interface. Just like the Circuit Tracks, the Rhythm has an integrated interface and is a fully-fledged standalone unit that can be used to build beats without the need for a computer. On top of that, it even has a built-in rechargeable battery, so doesn't even need a power supply.

The Novation Circuit Rhythm

Eight tracks are at your disposal, each loaded with a 32-step sequencer with support for chaining up to 256 steps per track. Any input events can be tightly aligned, but it's not necessary since off-the-grid arrangement is also an option alongside functions that have been specifically designed to inject a less mechanical, more natural feel into the beat. A wide selection of effects is also served up, including lo-fi tape, stutter, and beat-repeat, and that's on top of the effect samples, like reverse, slice, and loop. And, to finish this smooth and intuitive beat-making package, Novation naturally throw in some solid software.
