Product Overview
The Ultimate Standalone Beatmaker
The Circuit Rhythm is engineered for sample-based producers who want a fluid, tactile workflow away from the DAW screen. It streamlines the beatmaking process by packing sampling, editing, and sequencing into a single, highly portable unit. Whether you are capturing vinyl samples in the studio or firing off live performance effects on stage, it delivers a fast and intuitive hardware experience.
Product Description
Effortless Sampling and Slicing:
The Circuit Rhythm lets you record audio directly into the hardware via its stereo inputs, or load sounds via a MicroSD card. You can seamlessly slice samples to the pads in real-time, resample your creations, and sculpt your audio using dedicated controls for pitch, decay, distortion, and slope filtering across eight independent audio tracks.
Intuitive Grid Sequencing:
The top panel features a vibrant matrix of 32 velocity-sensitive RGB pads paired with a powerful step sequencer. You can capture your finger-drummed patterns live or program them step-by-step. With advanced features like probability, pattern mutate, and micro-step editing, you can add human variation and evolving rhythmic complexity to your drum loops and lo-fi melodies.
Built for Live Performance:
Take your beats to the stage with an array of expressive Grid FX. The Circuit Rhythm includes high-impact performance effects like vinyl simulation, beat repeats, phasers, and gaters to transform your tracks in real-time. It features full 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports to sequence external hardware, and its built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it completely standalone for mobile production.
Key Features
