Yes. If you refer to your manual you would do this in the advanced set up menu. MIDI thru can just be a duplicate of the MIDI out. So you can send MIDI out to your db-01 on the MIDI out and to the Syntakt on the MIDI thru.
One thing I would love if they added come to think of it would be to be able to do the same thing with the MIDI thru. Having two MIDI thru outputs would make my little set up that much more efficient.
How on earth did you know I would read this? 
Obvs I cant/wont say anything here about what may or may not come… but rest assured I check in on this thread regularly to see what is going on and help try to figure out some more parts of the GRAND RESOURCES PRIORITY PUZZLE
So I guess as the great Luke Vibert once said (ahem sampled) - “We Hear You” 
!!! so let’s see what happens.
Really chuffed to hear that Circuit Rhythm is gelling for you now too!!! I have always thought it is a total doozy (despite my obvious bias) and I’m listening to mine spin through some tasty break-based patterns as I type.

Just the fact that you replied, made my week 
And I love what you’re doing with the piano and live looping on the Circuit. That was in fact what inspired me to write the track posted above 
Thanks for reading and checking in. Take care and keep the good stuff coming 
I just found a really interesting feature on the Rhythm. The beat repeat actually as a wet / dry mode - never noticed! - so I made a grid fx to set the repeat to 1/16th and dialled it down to say 40% wet or something, creating a layer of loop repeats that sort of exist in the background of the pattern - glitch mayhem chaos lovely stuff.
However, if you keep this effect locked and move to a new pattern, the locked loop from the old pattern keeps playing, which means you’re now layering the beat fx loop from the previous pattern unto whatever pattern you’re playing now. That creates an almost endless palette of interesting live sound experimenation options.
A thing I’m doing now is using a scene that has mostly high pass stuff playing, hats and light crackle and stuff, no low end stuff. I set the grid fx beat repeater with wet 40% to loop those, and keep that effect running as I switch to a new scene where say bass and kick enter. The glitch mayhem from my previous scene doesn’t interfere and make it messy, they’re up there in the high end after all, and creates a lovely extra layer of free running glitch effects as the base and kick anchors the track to still follow a beat.
That’s a cool application of it. The only thing I could think to do with this was set one pad to 0 percent wet and use that to capture a part that I wanted to repeat. I could then hold that pad and use the ones that were set to 100 percent or 50 percent wet to sort of punch that part in. I took a little video of it. I don’t remember if I posted it here since this was January and I was actually making videos every day.
That is sooo fire, man 
you really bring out that grime and dirt from the Rhythm. Fantastic use of the grid fx and really funky beat 
Thanks!
Thanks for all your help recently Doug, truly invaluable!
Happy to do it!
Not sure how useful this is but I just stumbled on this. If you’re trimming a sample on the sample rec page, the changes that you make will go into effect even if you haven’t saved the changes. So if you move the start point, you’ll hear it as long as that sample is active. It’s weird. Again, I don’t know how useful this is to anyone. But it feels worth knowing.
Nice. I used to ‘play’ the start point on an old Akai. If you have the sample rapidly retrigging while you do it you can maybe get some scrubbing/timestretch effects…
Sounds like it could open up interesting opportunities for live looping. If you got a trig in place already, record a sample and then play with this, strange but cool things might happen.
Just arrived, might have to go back - I think it has that horrible “soft touch” coating that ALWAYS turns into a sticky mess.
Edit: yes I opened the box and it does have soft touch coating on the knobs and base, so I’ll be returning it for that reason - a shame because I was looking forward to it, but I can’t tolerate that sticky coating when it breaks down after a year or 2. Like this:
Edit2: Nope just on the knobs confirmed below, I can live with that 
I have a zoom recorder which is a sticky horrible thing. It’s like a sugary snack has melted on it … I’m not keen to find out how it tastes.
Hey @darenager
The knob caps do have a TPE coating on them but the base and body of Circuit Rhythm is not coated. The case itself is a painted hard plastic.
There are two rubberised strips for grip on the base which are only a couple of mm thick at the top and bottom but other than that the whole ‘chassis’ is hard plastic.
There has been extensive environment and temperature testing done on the TPE recipe we use to ‘age’ them and these tests haven’t exposed any sticky-pot finish issues. I can also say, I’ve had my early sample unit for well over two years and mine still feel good as new (after a lot of use too).
We also use this recipe in other well established Focusrite products and not had any reports of the sticky knobs being an issue on them either.
Regarding the pot caps I’ve had a chat with the head of product design and we could potentially share a 3d print image to create custom caps in your preference of finish if this helps.
But as I say, other than the pot caps, the base of the hardware is all a painted hard plastic finish so that shouldn’t ever become a dog hair/cat hair/human hair/dust/detritus magnet!
Hope this info helps

PS I’m intrigued to know what the photo is. Initially I thought thats looks like a strange Circuit Rhythm!!!
Hi @calc many thanks for replying, the photo is a mini wireless keyboard that I bought a few years ago, but I have also had the same issue with everything that I bought with TPE coating, from decent monitor speakers to AIAIAI headphones, various midi controllers and computer peripherals etc, it always goes gooey. I don’t know under what conditions the problem occurs but it seems quite widespread across a variety of products in locations all over the world AFAICT.
There are theories about skin PH, or environmental conditions being the cause and so on but I don’t think there is a conclusive theory at least as far as I have looked into.
But, If it is only the pot caps and not the chassis then that is not too much of a problem for me, as I am not averse to replacing stuff like that if needed, so I will keep hold of it with that info - thanks for that.
Thanks also for the offer to share the 3d files, but I don’t have a 3d printer.
Since I have your ear, this coating is quite widely not liked, personally I avoid it now as too many bad experiences with it, I’d be grateful if you would consider feeding back this info to the Novation group of companies, at least if there was an option to have TPE soft touch or standard plastic it might mean less devices end up in e-waste due to TPE going gooey.
Many thanks again!
They make a pretty pair @circuitghost
Only had a quick “caveman” style play on mine, set up the components and updated the firmware, battery is flat so put it on charge until later when I’ll dive into it.
First impressions - love the led hues, pads feel really great probably the most responsive I’ve ever used in this size - which surprised me, the demos were all a bit samey “lo-fi” hip hop vibe which isn’t my thing, but once I load up some samples I reckon it will be a great portable jammer. I wish the midi were TRS 3.5mm for my particular application, which is to use it with the Aira minis, on the sofa, but I can easily get some cables or just use the analog sync for now. Also feel that the size is pretty goldilocks, big enough to not be fiddly but not too big for sofa jammage.
So far though, glad I did not return it.
if they are the same or similar as on the latest launchpad pro - they are superb! Best pads in that size for sure and together with Maschine best pads all around that I know
Yes they might be, really pleasantly surprised - other manufacturers could learn a thing or two from Novation on pads.
