Circuit Components

Circuit is supported by an ever-evolving suite of online tools called Components. Take advantage of these regular updates to significantly expand your Circuit’s functionality. For example, simply drag and drop samples onto Circuit with Sample Import, using the streamlined browser-based Web MIDI workflow. Create your own sound library. Design your own synth patches using the Synth Editor. And save all your sessions to the cloud.

Make Music Anywhere

Circuit is compact and battery-powered. Be creative anywhere–while lounging on the couch, en route on a plane, or in the studio. Play synth chords with six-note polyphony, side-chain synths to drums, and adjust filters, effects, tempo, swing and more without a computer. You don’t even need speakers, because Circuit has one built in.

4-Part Drum Machine

Use the factory samples or load up to 64 of your own drum sounds, one-shots, or samples. While there are 4 independent drum machine sequences, you can use Sample Flip to play 16 different samples per sequence and across 8 patterns. With Circuit connected to your computer via USB, Circuit Components allows you to easily drag and drop samples onto Circuit and save to the cloud or on your computer.
