Product Overview
The Portable Centerpiece of Your Studio
The Circuit Tracks is engineered for modern electronic music creators who want a fast, instinctive workflow away from the laptop. It combines powerful internal synthesis and sample playback with a highly capable hardware sequencer. Whether you use it as a standalone portable beatmaker or as the master brain to command your external hardware synths, it eliminates creative friction and lets you build complex arrangements effortlessly.
Product Description
Expansive Sound Architecture:
The groovebox provides a versatile audio canvas with eight total tracks. It features two independent polyphonic synthesizer tracks powered by an advanced internal engine capable of rich pads, deep basslines, and striking leads. Alongside the synths are four drum tracks that let you load, play, and shape your own PCM samples via MicroSD. For complete sonic flexibility, you can route everything through built-in, studio-grade Reverb, Delay, and Master Compressor circuits.
Advanced Sequencing and Custom Layouts:
The top control panel features an ultra-responsive matrix of 32 velocity-sensitive RGB pads matched with eight endless rotary encoders. The internal sequencer allows you to create 32-step patterns, which can be chained together to build complete song structures. With advanced sequencing capabilities like probability, pattern mutate, micro-step editing, and non-quantized recording, you can add natural variation and complex human groove to your electronic patterns.
The Ultimate Hardware Command Station:
The Circuit Tracks is highly optimized to run your entire studio setup. It includes two dedicated MIDI tracks that let you sequence external hardware synths, modular setups, or drum machines just like internal tracks. It features full 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports, sync capabilities, and audio inputs that allow you to pass external gear directly through its internal effects processor. Powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it gives you the absolute freedom to produce music anywhere for up to 4 hours.
