Novation Circuit Tracks Groovebox Sequencer and Synthesizer

Small, light, portable with great sounds and excellent midi control. I love it.

Great little instrument very intuitive highly addictive better than the original one What more can I say it’s a sequencer

I've been using the Novation Circuit Tracks for a few months now, and I have to say, it’s been a fantastic addition to my music-making setup. Right out of the box, it felt intuitive. The layout is user-friendly, which is great for someone like me who enjoys diving into creativity without a steep learning curve. The built-in synth tracks sound amazing. I love how easily I can tweak the parameters to create unique sounds. The drum tracks are fun to work with, too. The pads feel responsive, and programming beats is straightforward. I appreciate the flexible sequencing options, which allow me to experiment with different patterns without feeling restricted. What’s really cool is the MIDI functionality. It lets me hook up my other gear and expand my setup seamlessly. It's versatile enough for both live performances and studio recordings, which I find very convenient. Overall, if you're looking for a compact groovebox that doesn’t skimp on features, the Novation Circuit Tracks is definitely worth considering. It’s made my music-making process a lot more enjoyable and creative!

There are many cool things about this device but I think the best is the way you can pick it up for 5 mins at a time when you get the chance and it's immediate fun. Once you get your head around the UI you can make great sounds and tunes really quickly. I don't have time to write a massive review but I can say that this is a much better bet than a midi keyboard and computer set up. I have spent ages just making a pattern that repeats then tweaking the sound with the various knows and adding delay and reverb. You can get lost in this for hours but you can also get your fix in 5 mins as the machine boots up in 10 seconds, is portable and the sound quality is astounding, proper professional stuff. It's just about the perfect gadget. Beautifully made, loads of coloured lights, totally self contained. For what it does it is fairly priced. If you're thinking about it, go for it. This is one purchase you won't get bored or frustrated with because there's literally no set up time. Its completely self contained.You can play with it for 2 minutes or two hours. Buy some good head phones!

Worth noting that while its synth engines are clipped down from what is on the mininova, they are still quite good, as 2 osc, 3 env, 2 lfo, 1 filter is quite a bit more than some standalone synths in this price bracket, and they are multi voice. The 4 drum, or rather, sample tracks are a bit light on features, but still allow for some neat audio tricks, as all the 8 tracks, which include 2 synth, 2 midi and 4 samplers, allow automation. Only prob is you really do need to use the software to create your own presets, import samples, change midi cc mappings etc, so be aware of that. Also, its not that great as a midi keyboard...

I love this Groovebox. This little gadget is suprisingly capable if you spend time to learn it. It's fun to use, has plenty of input/ output ports, it's small and portable with built in battery and you can connect it to other equipment. I spent far too much time with it making some silly beats. It could use additional synth channel but if you are creative you can work around it. Bottom line is - if you want to use it on it's own - you absolutely can and make full song on it. Per channel fader would be nice though - it only has master one. If you embrace it's limitations, the workflow is suprisingly logical. You can upload you own pre-cut samples, adjust and build synths. The only downside is no export option - you will have to figure this out by connecting to PC and live record. But it's a groovebox after all. Almodst perfect.

Best 250.00 spent. Music making straight out of the box.

This unit is imo an absolutely excellent tool for working quickly and is so well specced at the back to,inputs & outputs etc.. You really have to test it for yourself to see how good it is. Once youve wrapped your head around the basics you can really get to town with it and get some good results quickly and in realtime. I think the sound quality is excellent as well. I highly recommend this unit and i am considering getting the rythym version as well. A*****

Super petit séquenceur avec deux pistes synth, deux midi pour autres machines (ou synthe) et quatres batteries. Très portable et super connectique complète à l'arrière. Un peu limité seule pour live, idéal avec sa soeurette rythm. J'ai craqué après celle-ci pour former un beau couple novation circuit tracks/rythm. Merci novation pour la portabilité permettant de faire un petit set de 2/3 heures n'importe où. Il ne manque que le bleutooth pour atteindre la perfection. Permettant ainsi des connections à enceinte ou autre système bt... Bref c'est la seule chose qui manque à ces petits machines.

New to making music electronically, so needed something easy to jump in & fun. This is exactly what I was looking for and more. Only thing I didn't check at the time of purchase was the fact that it doesn't come with the wall charger that is Australian standard 2 or 3 prong plug head. It has 3 interchangeable ones for Europe I believe. But that's my fault. Other than that love it!

Mixer, synth, drum machine, hardware DAW all in one. Very intuitive and fun interface. Works great as a DAWless option to control hardware. The built in synth isn't the greatest but usable and custom patches can be made in the editor. The reverb on this device is fantastic. Really fun product. The only thing I wish is if you can disable CC signals from the play button since external synths can trigger this and play when you don't want it to.

Estoy maravillado con este aparato, vengo de instrumentos analógicos y, probablemente, el que sepa de música electrónica, producción composición y ejecución, podrá recomendarte programas informáticos que le dan mil vueltas a este aparto. No lo dudo, sin embargo, la facilidad con la que se puede construir un tema con novation y su manejabilidad "física" son algo gozoso. Es realmente divertido usar este aparato y, si consideramos sus capacidades escénicas, dando soporte a una actuación en tiempo real, con una actuación en directo o pseudo directo, su valor queda fuera de toda duda. El sonido que es capaz de producir es de calidad y su conectividad con ordenadores amplis y altavoces es alta. Obviamente, si sabes algo de música lo disfrutarás más, pero, no es un requisito indispensable, es más, a mi me está sirviendo para afianzar conceptos musicales que no tenia claros. Obviamente, a los Shostakóvich de la vida, a los reales y a los simulados, este aparato les dejará indiferentes, sin embargo, a aquellos que aspiren a componer el songs of fatih and devotion en el salón de su casa, les vendrá como anillo al dedo. Solo una recomendación, vigila el precio, fluctúa mucho

Maravillosa caja de ritmos. Tiene infinidad de posibilidades y una amplia gama de sonidos. Muy creativa para Músicos experimentados o para músicos amateur. Me encantó haber invertido en este aparato.
