Novation Circuit Tracks

The Novation Circuit quickly grew to become a classic among electronic musicians and producers who prefer to work without a DAW. This standalone groovebox offered a fresh workflow separate from the computer, with intuitive controls and attractive pricing. With the Circuit Tracks, Novation takes this concept to a new level, adding additional features without compromising on the compact and portable design.

Circuit Tracks is a powerful and mobile music production unit that runs entirely on battery power. Thanks to its small size, you can take it anywhere. Yet it delivers everything you need for a complete production: two polyphonic synthesizers, four separate drum tracks, two MIDI tracks to control external devices and built-in effects for the finishing touch. The 4 x 8 matrix of RGB pads is very responsive and pleasant to play, and thanks to the 10 rotary knobs you adjust parameters at lightning speed. Whether you're programming or performing live, Circuit Tracks makes you feel in complete control of your creation process.

Once you start working with the Novation Circuit Tracks, you won't want to do without it. An indispensable addition to your studio or live setup!

Four tight drum tracks
Circuit Tracks features four independent monophonic drum tracks that let you build layered rhythms effortlessly. Start with a simple kick-snare-hihat combination and use the remaining tracks to add one-shots, create polyrhythms and enrich your groove with percussive details. Prefer to work with your own samples? No problem: via the free Novation Components software, simply load your own sample packs from a microSD card.

Two powerful polyphonic synthesizers
After a solid beat, it's time for synths. Circuit Tracks has two synth tracks on board with six-part polyphony per track. Whether you need deep bass lines, sparkling bells or sharp leads, the built-in sounds cover all the bases. Program and play directly via the pad matrix. Thanks to 16 scale settings (with adjustable keynote) you always play tonally stable, even during improvisation.

Control external devices via MIDI
In addition to the internal sound sources, Circuit Tracks also contains two MIDI tracks. This allows you to control external MIDI devices such as analog and digital synthesizers, drum computers or software instruments. The workflow is similar for synth and drum tracks, making it effortless to expand your setup with external gear - ideal for both studio recordings and live performances.

Finish your productions with built-in effects
The built-in effects provide the finishing touches. Circuit Tracks offers eight types of reverb and sixteen delay presets, selectable directly from the pad matrix. All delays are tempo-synchronized and offer various time divisions, including triplets and dotted notes in stereo ping-pong. Reverb and delay levels are automatable, further expanding your creative possibilities.

Battery power for mobile music-making
Thanks to the built-in lithium-ion battery with up to 4 hours of runtime, you can take the Circuit Tracks anywhere. In the studio, at a jam session, outside in the park or even at a coffee shop: your workflow will be preserved. The compact build and portability make this groovebox the perfect instrument for on-the-go creation as well as spontaneous performances.
