The latest addition to Novation’s Circuit family of grooveboxes, Circuit Tracks is a standalone groovebox offering two polyphonic digital synthesiser tracks, four drum tracks, creative FX and ‘on-the-go’ capabilities.
Circuit Tracks features velocity-sensitive pads and tactile control, with customisable patches and features such as microtiming, probability and pattern mutate. Common to all Circuit products is a screen-less workflow that allows instinctive creativity, without complex menus to navigate.
Its size and portability belie Circuit Tracks’ power with two polyphonic synth engines for creative experimentation and sonic exploration. Hundreds of artist-made presets provide jumping-off points, and samples can be loaded from a microSD card, then shaped and sequenced across the four drum tracks.
Intended to be equally at home alone or among other music machines, full-size Midi in, out and thru, plus analogue sync out I/O complements other gear. Two Midi sequencer tracks enable control and programming of external equipment, from drum machines to effects units. Audio inputs allow external sounds to be brought into and manipulated by Circuit Tracks. Outputs provide monitoring options for all occasions.
As with all other Novation equipment, Circuit Tracks is accompanied by Novation’s online companion, Components. Using the browser-based or standalone app, users can delve into the synth engine on screen, create patches with custom macros, load samples, make Midi templates, backup projects, and get new artist-made sounds.
