Product reviews
Spent a lot of time in lo-fi ambient arena so obviously hip-hop was always loosely tagging along. This pack is a lot of fun for those lazy chill days when you wanna create those **sessions**. Obviously I suggest it for any avid producer or even the casual creator. I love these bass drums and howr organic they can feel. This pack was the stepping stone for the dnb for bc they fit so well together. Killing it
Hip-Hop Foundations Three - Circuit Rhythm or Circuit Tracks
Hip-Hop Foundations Three by Techtronix digs deep into the heart of boom bap, lofi, and sample-based hip-hop – offering a dusty, textured toolkit for Novation Circuit Rhythm and Circuit Tracks users alike.
With a focus on swing, warmth, and groove, this pack was inspired by the golden era of hip-hop – think J Dilla’s MPC, cracked vinyl, and jazz samples looping on tape.
All sounds were synthesized and played in by hand, then processed to feel organic and “lifted from wax.” The kicks are thick, the snares snap, and the overall tone is earthy and warm.
You’ll find:
- 128 expressive patches crafted for instrumental hip-hop
- Sampled-style drum hits with vinyl-style hiss and crackle
- Layered snares and percussion with acoustic elements
- Instrument patches covering piano, rhodes, bass, brass, kalimba, sax and more
- 16 sessions built into the Circuit Tracks version for instant inspiration
- Bonus samples in the Circuit Rhythm version for creative chopping and manipulation
From slow-stretched downtempo grooves to East Coast head-nodders and chilled lofi jams, this is a versatile collection designed to spark new beats instantly.
