Product Features:
Your Creative Groovebox
Circuit Tracks is a standalone toolkit for making music at home, on the go, or anywhere else you don't want to be tethered to your DAW. Get hands on with your ideas with an inspiring, screen-free workflow that’s designed to help sketches, songs, and live performances simply flow.
Create Instinctively
With two synth tracks, four drum tracks, and two MIDI tracks for sequencing external gear, Circuit Tracks gives you everything you need to shape your sound. Sketch ideas with Patterns, build dynamic sections with Scenes, and arrange full tracks - all at the speed of inspiration.
Macros: Take Control with a Twist
Perform and record modulation for envelopes, filters, preset effects, and more; Circuit Tracks' eight tactile macro encoders come pre-mapped to key parameters of each synth engine and are paired with vibrant LEDs that change brightness to show their relative value.
Pads: Play, Sequence, Perform
Play synth notes, chords, and drum hits across 32 velocity-sensitive pads. They also make for an intuitive, visual step sequencer and enable Launchpad-style pattern triggering for performing full tracks.
I/O: Connect All Your Gear
Circuit Tracks has all the I/O you need to hook up your favourite synths and drum machines. Keep timing tight via a dedicated sync output, trigger it all via two dedicated polyphonic MIDI tracks, and route the audio back in to add effects and mix it with your internal tracks.
Immediate Inspiration...
32-step Sequencer: Program in patterns step-by-step with Circuit Tracks' powerful sequencer. Go off-grid with micro timing, push your sequences further using probability and pattern mutation, and stay in key with selectable scales.
Essential Effects: Add energy, emotion, or ambience to your ideas with delay and reverb for each track, easy side chaining, mix-bus compression, and a dedicated effect macro for every synth preset.
Dive Even Deeper: Novation Components unlocks the full power of Circuit Tracks. Get finer control over synth engines, craft your own patches, load custom samples, fine-tune MIDI templates, and more directly in your browser.
More Room for Ideas: Circuit Tracks' microSD card slot gives you the ability to keep up to 32 additional sound packs on hand, so you'll always be ready for your next idea.
...Whenever and Wherever
With up to four hours of rechargeable battery life, Circuit Tracks is ready to capture inspiration whenever it strikes. It's small enough to fit in your bag, and light enough to carry all day - just don't forget your headphones.
