Grid FX performance pads
The seven types of effect available in Grid FX are:
Effect Pad colour
Beat Repeat Red
Reverser Amber
Gater Sand
Auto-Filter Green
Digitise Blue
Phaser Indigo
Vinyl Simulation Magenta
The effects are colour-coded, so you can identify the various types available once you have uploaded
them into Circuit Rhythm.
As with many other features of Circuit Rhythm, we recommend experimentation with Grid FX to gain
an understanding of which type and setting of effect works well your particular style of choice of
samples. Briefly, the basic effects are:
• Beat Repeat – capture a short segment of tempo-synced audio from the master mix and repeat
it for a stutter effect. Beat Repeat playback is not synced to sequencer playback.
• Reverser – immediately reverse playback of the master mix in short tempo-related segments.
Reverser playback is not synced to sequencer playback.
• Gater – a square-wave LFO that affects the volume of the master mix at tempo-related rates.
When pressed, the Gater will always be at maximum volume. Gater playback is not synced to
sequencer playback.
• Auto-Filter – a variable state (Low/Band/High-Pass) 12/6 dB/octave filter with a tempo-synced
LFO. The LFO shape may be set to Triangle, Square, ramp-up, or ramp-down, and key-synced
such that it restarts when the effect is triggered. The modulation depth may also be customised.
