Novation has unveiled a new synthesizer workstation based around a 4×8 pad matrix: Circuit. The sonic power comes from two Nova series synth engines, a 4-part drum machine, onboard effects, a 128-step sequencer — and there’s even an onboard speaker and it will run on battery power! Whew — we’re talking a comprehensive music-making machine!
Whether you need production-ready synths, killer beats and rhythms, or tons of sound-shaping power, the Circuit delivers big time. Sixty-four synth presets provide the tones, and you can lock the synths to a key for fast, inspiring music creation without worry of “wrong” notes. USB and MIDI connections allow you to interface with the rest of your gear and your computer. Circuit even comes with Ableton Live Lite and 1GB of Loopmasters sounds and samples to get you started.
