Groove Circuit, featured on select AlphaTheta DJ controllers like the DDJ-GRV6, is reshaping the way DJs approach live remixing. This innovative tool focuses on real-time drum and beat manipulation, enabling DJs to create dynamic, unique performances. Paired with rekordbox for Mac/Windows, Groove Circuit offers unprecedented control over drum elements in music stems.
What is Groove Circuit?
Groove Circuit is a cutting-edge feature designed to give DJs the power to reimagine tracks during live sets. By isolating and manipulating drum parts, it transforms your DJ controller into a live remixing powerhouse. Whether you're using remix packs or originals, Groove Circuit ensures your performance stands out.
Core Features of Groove Circuit
Drum Swap
Replace the drum beat of a track with a new drum loop loaded into a Stems slot. Imagine swapping a traditional house beat for a tribal rhythm to completely change the vibe of a track.
Drum Roll and Trans Effects
With Roll and Trans effects, you can craft seamless drum rolls, fills, and build-ups on the fly. This feature bridges the gap between DJing and live production.
Drum Release FX
Apply Release FX to create breakdowns or dramatic pauses, adding depth and texture to your DJ sets.
Capture Drum Parts
Extract and save drum elements for use in future remix packages, making it easy to build custom remix packs for your sets.
Why Groove Circuit is a Game-Changer for DJs Using Stems
Groove Circuit is perfect for DJs who work with music stems and remix packs. It offers precise control over drum elements, allowing DJs to manipulate tracks in real-time and create unique mashups. Whether you're remixing originals or working with pre-packaged stems, Groove Circuit opens up endless creative possibilities.
Compatibility and Considerations
Groove Circuit is fully compatible with rekordbox for Mac/Windows but is unavailable on rekordbox for iOS/Android or Serato DJ Pro. However, with rekordbox mobile, Groove Circuit controls the sampler and Pad FX, while with Serato DJ Pro, it enhances Stems FX.

- Load a track with separated stems in rekordbox
- Activate Groove Circuit to isolate the drum parts
- Experiment with Drum Swap, Roll, and Trans Effects
