Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Circuit Rhythm is a self-contained sampler built around direct recording, hands-on sample treatment, and an eight-track sequencer. Capture material into the unit, then slice it, reverse it, loop it, resample it, or play it chromatically while building patterns up to 256 steps per track. Grid FX bring lo-fi tape, stutter, and beat-repeat treatments into performance. Five-pin MIDI and analog sync output support integration with a studio rig, while the rechargeable battery supports up to four hours away from mains power.
