Novation Circuit Rhythm and Circuit Tracks

I was referring to the Rhythm one. I know the workflow of the current Circuit, I used to have one too. But I want to see the sampler one because I’m interested in sampling on the fly and chopping, not uploading stuff with Chrome.

I usually have a bluetooth dongle hooked up in my LINE IN in my MPC and sample from Youtube or Splice or whatever via bluetooth

After watching all the videos on that Amazon page link, this one’s not for me.
I pre-ordered the original circuit and it frustrated me with the knobs having different functions for every patch. Never knew what was going on and returning to previous projects was even worse.

Interested in the Rhythm variant. I think thats going to be more interesting.

Owning a DT though I don’t think it will offer much new, I’ve been going on a journey of buying boxes that offer more modern features than the DT, but never make music as good as what I make on the DT and miss the workflow of the DT when I’m not using it.

Just something I’m realising recently is that when I’m using the DT I’m not thinking about the DT at all, only the music, and I kinda of zone out. Hard to find hardware like that

What videos are you talking about?

The Tracks and Rythm have all dedicated knobs, not any longer function by educated guesstimation.

just realized, there’s videos on that page!
two things that are a bit underwhelming from what I’ve seen so far:

  • Synth engine seems (still) pretty bland, uninspiring. Could be just the demos though but…
  • Inputs are dual mono, not stereo. Ugh.

scroll down for 6 short vids

I think the 2 midi tracks with macro mapping then 2 inputs to mix FX and sidechain will make this an interesting choice as the core of a portable live setup.

Those videos sound like Ricky Tinez to me!!

$399 isn’t too bad, considering the built in battery, and extra inputs and whatnot. Hell, I’d pay extra on all my boxes to have full size midi and audio connections.

wow, BoBeats and loopop posted their new vids simultaneously ))

I’m at work so if anybody can list their favourite new features that would be great :slightly_smiling_face:

Make samples completely your own, build beats into any vibe, and perform with ease with Circuit Rhythm, launching Summer 2021.

I feel like the Rhythm and Tracks could’ve easily be the same device if they made it just a little bit bigger.

About Tracks:

  • The synth sounds didn’t do it for me, the controls again are very limited.
  • The labels under the knobs only make sense if your working on the synth.
  • The coolest sound in all the videos were clearly the samples.
  • Still no components for IOS.
  • Still no control over the FX other than choosing a preset.
  • The inputs are nice but you can’t record the incoming signal.

All in all it just feel like Novation is holding back big time and that just… well it sucks.

It has the exact same synth engine as the original, which is a bit of a bummer.

just heard that… too bad

I guess this is just an updated Circuit to those who already liked the original. Just not for me.
I’ll wait to see what happens with the sampler version
