It is also an excellent instrument for novice musicians with an interest in EDM or just something to jam along with.

One of the most intuitive electronic instruments I have ever played with and something that gets helps me get some very quick ideas down

This device is a really cool instrument; very flexible, it allows your imagination to run wild without getting stuck troubleshooting technical issues

Reviews around pad (5.00 of 5)
-
This can be a downside because i feel the circuit is lacking some belly or roundness in the middle, so its a little difficult to find decent pads (but not
-
The knobs have a good amount of resistance, the stock sounds, and the pads are all amazing
-
Great sketch pad for ideas.... center piece to my live set
-
The build quality is great, the pads are fun to play, and the Circuit invites experimentation

Reviews around idea (5.00 of 5)
-
This allowed me to retain ideas and audio in Ableton for future editing while still not getting sucked into the computer screen allowing me to focus on hitting pads and turning knobs and responding to the direction of the music
-
I debated getting a circuit when they first came out, it seemed like a nice idea but looked to be really inflexible and the concept of only being able to access presets on the synths
-
Due to its simplicity you can create good ideas very quickly
-
i stated earlier its pretty easy to get started and create an idea, but this also makes up for its downside since the chosen focus in the usabillity of this product is paid by a lack of functions needed for easily working out your ideas into actual songs
-
Well all those "bright ideas" got trumped quick as I realized that the thing I've been loving most about it is what I thought I was aiming to fix

-
The Circuit would be a great product for almost anyone interested in electronic music
-
I don't want 8-1/2 by 11 torn up manuals to accompany a good product I pay for.
-
Please take these comments as they are intended, to help improve the product.
-
Overall it is a fantastic product in terms of doing very little new in terms of sound, but it's excellent value for money is in is the sheer portability, flexibility, ease of use and use without a computer/DAW or indeed any other kit

Reviews around hardware (5.00 of 5)

: it's the easiest hardware sequencer I've played with for inputing melodic content (way better than x0x or electribe style sequencers)
-
And there are better hardware solutions to mobile music production

Reviews around way (4.40 of 5)

And if you know how to send clock out of you DAW, then what I'm saying is the Circuit has some sort of smart way of knowing automatically that you want it to play in time with your host
-
I sold this to a buddy getting started telling him it was probably the best way to start messing around because you can just make things work
-
Playing with these gives you the opportunity to have your sounds evolve in a complex way rather than stay stagnant
-
It took under 15 seconds to get my head bobbing like it was a night at the Roxbury, and with less than 15 minutes with it, I already feel like I know my way around the entire device, and like I'm already ready to take it to the studio because I know exactly all the things I wanna try with it
-
I find myself playing a lot more, and having way more fun

Reviews around box (4.26 of 5)
-
Yamaha's were the first boxes I had with motion control but had limited parts and polyphony
-
For advanced musicians it would be a nice little limited box that would test your creativity
-
Because here's the thing, what doing just those few things just told me is everything else that this box is going to work with as well

Reviews around sequencer (4.10 of 5)
-
And as a sequencer, it is absolutely tight and easy, very easy, to use
-
: it's the easiest hardware sequencer I've played with for inputing melodic content (way better than x0x or electribe style sequencers)
-
Its got the sequencer, 2 synth engines with 6 note polyphony and the sample based drum machine (the pre-set drums sound decent enough that you don't have to worry about uploading your own samples to start)
-
would be nice to be able to jump to pads, leads, basses (might have missed this in the manual)It's much more than a bleep-bloop, acid techno bassline sequencer
-
Bought the Circuit in early 2016 as I wanted a great multi-track sequencer that was particularly suited for live jamming at home

Reviews around song (4.03 of 5)
-
More advanced musicians are to expect a handy tool for creating ideas on the move or simply having (loads of) fun but its not really suited for creating complex and complete songs, except you put it a lot of work in
-
I would gladly pay twice the price for this machine if it had more polyphony and better song construction
-
Besides just as a practice tool this groove box can make some pretty cool songs on its own
-
The experiences are very different; Auxy is good for outlining a song, while Circuit is good for finding the essence of a song idea and then filling it out
-
The Circuit is far and away the tool that lets me get ideas into actual songs easier than anything else
