Novation Circuit Rhythm Standalone Beatmaking Sampler

The Novation Circuit Rhythm is a versatile standalone sampler crafted for modern beatmakers and live performers. Featuring onboard sample recording, editing, and performance FX, it enables full creative control from start to finish without a computer. Users can slice, resample, reverse, loop, or play samples chromatically, making it ideal for hip-hop, electronic, and experimental music production.

This device includes eight sample tracks, each with chainable 32-step patterns (up to 256 steps), a hands-on sequencer with off-grid recording, probability settings, and pattern mutate options for evolving grooves. Its portability is enhanced by a built-in rechargeable battery offering up to four hours of operation, while comprehensive I/O connectivity includes full-size MIDI, stereo audio, USB-C, and microSD support.

Whether in the studio or on the move, Circuit Rhythm delivers a streamlined and dynamic beatmaking experience. Integration with Novation Components ensures seamless sample management and backup functionality.
