The 2 synth, 4 drum track limitation was restrictive, particularly when it comes to fleshing out a sequence with some pads or SFX. Drums / sample polyphony is set at 4 so it is still limiting, but a big improvement nonetheless! :D
My wife picked one up for $230 a few months ago and her main complaint was how the drum sounds covered too many different genres, which made them limiting to specific styles.
I’ve just had my first play and this update takes the Circuit up to a different level. I’d go so far as to say immense, esp in bang for the buck terms.
P-locking the params above as well as levels, delay send and reverb send has infinite possibilities, even with only 4 part polyphony (on the samples - polyphony is 6 per part on the synths). The sample parts can be changed via program changes so this’ll play very nicely with my new Monomachine due any day now courtesy of @KrisM.
