Rated #TOTAL_SCORE# out of 5 based on #TOTAL_NUMBER# reviews.

Andrew Barton

Only just started using it but i know it will be a fantastic bit of kit for my livesets Dstorm sound system. Bstorm

Dennis Pfitzmayr

Why can the individual tracks not output polyphonically?

Martin Baldock

I have created a "Circuit Band" with the Circuit, Monostation, Tracks, and now the Rhythm. My intention is to experiment, and synch them via MIDI using one as master, the other 3 as slaves. The Rhythm is as robustly built as the other "Circuits", and I envisage being able to manipulate the sounds easily in a live situation with the added advantage of me being able to sample other instruments too. Pictured is my initial setup in the martCave, and a screen dump of the very first session in Acoustica Mixcraft Pro 9.

Alex Buga

I love it. It's simple, fast, it has everything I need for making songs on the go and in the studio. I wish it had polyphony more than stereo sampling. Even with the cost of losing voices. At least so you can jam with a sample and resample the loop

David Flynn

Still too early to give a full assessment of the Circuit Rhythm but it should make a useful addition to my set-up.

Circuit Rhythm is the powerful and versatile standalone sampler for the modern beatmaker. Samples can be recorded directly to the hardware, then sliced sculpted, reversed, looped, resampled and played chromatically — all in the box.
