The emphasis is on connecting other instruments over MIDI. The new Circuit Tracks essentially expands on the original Circuit features in multiple ways. It was then joined in 2017 by the analog-digital hybrid Circuit Mono Station, which ended up combining a similar sequencing concept with an analog synth engine derived from the Bass Station II keyboard. The original Circuit was released in 2015 and it was based on Novation's long-established virtual-analog synthesis prowess teamed with a user-friendly step-sequencing workflow. The groovebox concept stuck and Novation was more than happy to tag its Circuit instruments as such. However, at its heart was an amazing idea - package everything that you need to ensure electronic music into a single box.
It had a ton of hype on release but it eventually dissipated as analog synths crept back into vogue. The term was first coined back in 1996 with the release of Roland MC-303, an all-in-one instrument that managed to combine sequencing with a mixture of digital synth sounds, effects, and drum samples. Grooveboxes have often had divided opinions.
