Circuit - Sample Manipulator (Kontakt 7)

'Circuit' is a sample manipulation and sound design effects processor hosted within Native Instruments, Kontakt (7 or higher). Add your analogue recordings or digital samples into the user 'drag and drop' interface and begin re-pitching, stretching and warping your sounds via your choice of 4 unique sampler playback engines. Apply up to 3 of our 27 distinct 'Pedal FX' multi processing preset chains and turn the simplest of sounds into complex and intricate signature tones and textures using Circuit's 'lightning' controls.

'Circuit' expands the use and value of your existing sample libraries and recordings. Turn a single recorded sound into a playable instrument for your music production session, or create new textural layers for your sampling and sound design experiments. This tool is great for adding presence and bite to your samples, or can be overdriven and destructive to suit your needs. Our 'pedal fx' engine is inspired by our favourite analogue guitar pedal chains and modular processors, emulating the fluctuations of analogue circuitry while retaining the comfort and control of working inside the digital realm. Embrace the creative chaos of exploratory and experimental sound design while being productive and efficient at the same time.

We find 'Circuit' is best for designing dark and aggressive cinematic tones, ambient and otherworldly textures, or adding beef, grit and energy to our drum and percussion sounds. It also works great on explorative sound design journeys where experimenting with unconventional sound sources develops some of the most innovative and distinct signature sounds we've ever made. Suitable for use in any genre, 'Circuit' will take you on a journey deep into the unknown.
