Introduction
Circuit Tracks is an agile groovebox for creating and performing electronic music quickly and easily.
Its acclaimed, hands-on sequencer gives you a seamless workflow and its two refined, polyphonic
digital synth tracks let you expand your sonic capabilities. The four drum tracks let you load your own
samples and shape them to perfection. Two dedicated MIDI tracks permit seamless interconnectivity
with other equipment. With a built-in, rechargeable battery you can unplug and create music
anywhere. Let your creativity thrive!
Circuit Tracks is both a compositional tool and a live performance instrument. It’s an eight track
instrument - two for the polyphonic synths, four for samples and two for interfacing with external
MIDI devices like analogue synths. It lets you create music fast: getting patterns together is rapid and
intuitive. If you’re working in the studio, Novation’s superior sound quality means you can use Circuit
Tracks as the basis of your finished track.
The playing grid is a set of 32 illuminated, velocity-sensitive pads, which act as synth keys, drum pads,
sequencer steps and perform numerous other functions. The pads’ internal illumination is intelligently
RGB colour-coded*, so you can see at a glance what’s going on.
Eight rotary controls are provided to let you tweak the synth and drum sounds to perfection and the
Master Filter control is always available to further enhance your performance. There are a host of
other quickly-accessible features: synth patches and drum samples to choose from, a choice of musical
scales, adjustable tempo, swing and note length, and more. You can start with a simple pattern of 16
or 32 steps and then rapidly assemble these together into more complex patterns of great length.
You can save your work in one of 64 internal Project memories. Additionally, Circuit Tracks’ powerful
Packs feature lets you access, create, and save thousands of Projects, synth patches and samples on a
removable microSD card.
Circuit Tracks integrates totally with Novation Components, a powerful software application which lets
you download, edit, and create synth patches, swap out your samples, create MIDI track templates,
and store your work in the cloud.

* RGB LED illumination means that each pad has internal red, blue and green LEDs, each of which can light at different
intensities. By combining the three colours at different brightness levels, almost any colour of illumination can be achieved.
