Review Summary
Next-generation sequenced monosynth
Circuit Mono Station is a paraphonic analogue Synthesizer that originates from the Novation Bass Station II, with three sequencer tracks that benefit from the 32 velocity-sensitive RGB pads found on Circuit.
New version 1.6 of Circuit firmware has been released, which incorporates these features:
Panning - Panning has been the single most requested feature of the community to date. It enables users to create audio landscapes or integrate with their favorite hardware.
Drum Micro Steps - Using Drum Micro Steps as a beat-building tool, Circuit v1.6 adds instant fills and stutter effects to users' workflows, retriggering a sample up to six times within each step.
Light Dim - Is Circuit's brightness intruding when the room darkens? Light Dim will help to set the mood for all sorts of romantic occasions with its brightness setting.
FX Mute - Used to mute any unwanted FX, making it easier to connect with external hardware processors.
Connect to just about anything
The CV, Gate and modulation outputs provide an easy mechanism for controlling separate hardware. You can plug Circuit Mono Station into your Mac or PC via USB and start playing. It also has MIDI In, Out and Thru, so you can connect your other MIDI gear. Passing an audio signal through the audio input opens up a world of analogue filtration and distortion. Using the audio input with the mod sequencer, you can modulate, evolve and process your source in entirely new ways.
Three sequencer tracks
Both monophonic and paraphonic modes are available, with each oscillator controlled by its own sequencer. In total, there's two oscillator sequencers and one modulation sequencer. You can alter Gate length, switch patterns instantly, choose sync rate and mutate patterns.
Individually control oscillators
Two oscillators with individual control of sync and tuning parameters.
Get the frequency band you want
High-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters with slopes of 12dB and 24dB.
