This Novation Circuit v1.4 firmware update introduces several user-requested features, and brings all-new sessions, samples and synth patches.
A new pattern-length parameter for the drum tracks to enable polyrhythmic drum sequences, where previously the drum patterns were locked to 16 steps. Also, it’s now possible to switch each track’s patterns on the fly so the user can create fast-changing fills and pattern-change effects. Users can now change the color of the sessions from the unit itself (instead of from the Components software), and there are new setup options to optimise Circuit’s interoperation with other MIDI hardware. Lastly, Novation has created brand new samples, synth patches, and sessions.
Circuit v1.4 is a free firmware update available to all Circuit customers. The update is facilitated by Circuit Components, a suite of browser-based utility tools for Circuit.
