Novation Circuit Rhythm Groovebox and Standalone Sampler

Description

The Circuit Rhythm is a standalone groovebox and sampler built for beatmakers. You can record samples directly to the device, then chop, reverse, loop, or play them chromatically. It has a 32‑step sequencer and eight sample tracks, so you can build full beats right on the unit. It also has built-in performance effects (like beat repeat, stutter, lo-fi tape) to make live sets more dynamic. With a rechargeable battery (about 4 hours) and microSD support, it's designed to make music anywhere.
