Novation Circuit Tracks – Standalone Groovebox

Overview

Novation Circuit Tracks is a standalone groovebox designed for music creation at home, on the road, or anywhere you want to work without being tethered to a DAW. Its screen-free, tactile workflow keeps the focus on creativity, allowing ideas, sketches, and live performances to develop naturally.

With two synth tracks, four sample-based drum tracks, and two MIDI tracks for sequencing external gear, Circuit Tracks functions as both a powerful internal sound engine and a central control hub for external instruments. Pattern-based sequencing, Scene construction, and fast arrangement tools allow full tracks to be built at the speed of inspiration.
