Record settings
There are four additional settings which affect how sample recording operates: Threshold, Attenuator,
Recording Source and Input Monitor. These settings are saved at power-off.
Recording Threshold On/Off
Pad 29 in Row 4 (above the Choke text) toggles the recording threshold function on or off.
With threshold off (pad lit dim red), recording will start immediately upon the Record button being
pressed. With threshold on (pad lit bright green and grid briefly displays ‘Thr’ ), recording will only
start once the signal level exceeds a certain threshold (-54 dBFS) after the Record button is pressed.
Enabling threshold is useful when you want to prime recording to begin as soon as audio commences,
preventing the need to trim silence from the start of a sample.
Attenuator On/Off
Pad 30 in Row 4 toggles an 12 dB attenuator on or off as part of the recording signal path. By default,
the attenuator is off (pad lit dim red, grid briefly displays ‘0’, representing 0 dB reduction in level).
When the attenuator is enabled (pad lit bright green and grid briefly displays ‘-12’ ) the recording
level is reduced by 12 dB. Use the attenuator if the signal level from an external sound source is too
high and causing unwanted distortion on the recording.
Resample On/Off
Pad 31 in Row 4 (above the Keyboard text) selects the audio source for sample recording.
The default setting (pad lit dim red) enables recording from the external audio inputs. Pressing the
pad (lights bright green and grid briefly displays ‘RSP’) selects the internal audio engine as the
recording source: select this option if you want to resample internally processed sounds, or sample
the external inputs after being processed by Grid FX. With resample enabled, you may record audio
from external and internal sources at the same time.
Input Monitoring
Pad 32 on Row 4 (above the Slice text) activates input monitoring. When input monitoring is active
(pad lit bright green and grid briefly displays ‘Mn’)
Disable input monitoring to mute incoming audio – this can be useful as part of a wider setup where
audio may be routed both through Circuit Rhythm for sampling, and directly from the source to a
mixer or audio interface.
This pad may also be used as a performance kill-switch for external audio, which is useful when using
Circuit Rhythm as an effects unit for external audio.
