New Circuits
Novation was probably getting ready to reveal them in the New Year but we’ve got an early glimpse of these intriguing new takes on the Circuit format. Very exciting! We haven’t caught any details but let’s look at what the photos tell us.

It’s entirely possible, knowing how awesome Novation is at manipulating firmware, that these machines could share the same internal engine and external hardware and swap between being one or the other. It’s also likely that the photo is just of the back of the Rhythm and Tracks has simpler connections without the audio inputs.

Either way the Novation Circuit is a massively popular and fun groove box production machine and this looks like a fabulous evolution and cool direction.

The shape and the design look familiar to us. Typical Circuit only adapted to the 2020 styling. According to the source, the Novation Circuit Rhythm is a sampling groove box that can sample via the stereo input backside but also load samples via the microSD card reader. There are no details, but it looks like the developers use a new sampling engine paired with the beloved Circuit workflow. How deep this sampling engine is not known. Especially how far you can bend and manipulate samples.

Novation Circuit Rhythm backside

On the backside, you can see a stereo input for sampling, stereo output, sync, full MIDI I/O, a microSD reader, and USB-C connectivity. What a shame it looks like the new generation of the Circuit does not have a helpful display. Many have wished that.

The Circuit Rhythm is perhaps more of a departure. It seems to be aimed at beat making and sampling. The big giveaway being the “Sample” button and the pads labelled One Shot, Loop, Reverse and Choke. So no synth sounds on this one, it is all about the drums.

This is also backed up by the presence of audio inputs in the photo of the rear of the unit, although the same photo was used on both the Rhythm and the Tracks page so it’s possible that they both share this sampling facility. Also note the microSD card slot for saving samples. Always good to see proper old school MIDI ports and a MIDI Thru!

Apparently a sample groovebox from Novation…Stereo out, stereo in for sampling, sd card slot, midi in/out/thru…
