circuit rhythm is coming later this year, I think Novation will have some info about it... So Circuit Tracks? For you? Yay? Nay? And yes it is in stores now: (US) imp.i114863.net/0kgRJ and (EU) redir.love/4kIaa6oq (affiliate links)

Can you send the click track out of a separate out with the new feature? E.g. if I was working with a live drummer could I send that click to their head phones without sending it out with the rest of my signal? If so is it easy to change the tempo or is it a guessing game?

Sorry Bo, but again I'm a little nonplused. When I read that it still needs to be paired with a computer to load certain things (inc samples), I started to glaze over. It's also quite pricey -seeing that an extra 100 bucks gets a Polyend Tracker, and a 150 less gets one of those mind blowing Sonicware 8-bit grooveboxes, both of which have a unique sound, but Novation is again just a bit too clean and 'digital' as you rightly state. Happy to be proved wrong of course, but so far it's not sending me. So, nay here for me.

When I first saw the specs I kind of thought “that doesn’t really seem like they changed anything” and I was kind of disappointed, watching your review I’m understanding that maybe they added exactly enough, enhancing and filling out the best features of the circuit to really make it close to perfect for its users. I feel like they did the exact same thing with the launchpad line last year, and I’m really happy to see them reaching a point that these neato tools for electronic music control can really be refined and feel like high quality instruments all by themselves.

The old format of going back and forth, chaining pattern 1 three times in a row followed by pattern 5 twice and pattern 8 once? That was very good, does pattern chaining still function in this way in the new unit? Can you chain the Scenes out of numerical order as well? 🤷♂️🤔

The loading of sound packs/configs from SDCard is interesting, can you confirm whether these are the same SysEx files used by Components? This device would fit nicely into my minimal system; I can see that the Midi tracks could control my UNO-Synth/UNO-Drum and use the Circuit's synth for lead(s) with better samples(/capability) overlaid. I'll have to dig into the Effects engine further.
