Save Lock
The Save Lock feature allows you to temporarily disable the Save function. This can be useful if you
have a live set prepared on your Circuit Rhythm, and you don’t want to risk accidentally overwriting
any important projects. To enable Save Lock, hold both Shift and Save down while powering the unit
on. While Save Lock is enabled, the Save button is unlit at all times.
Save Lock status is retained during subsequent power cycles. Disabling it is the same procedure as
enabling: power the unit on while holding down Shift and Save.
By default, Save Lock is disabled, so that Projects can be saved and overwritten freely.
Project loading problems
Circuit Rhythm loads the last Project in use when it is powered-up. It is possible that if the power was
interrupted while a Project was being saved it may have become corrupted in some way. This might
mean that Circuit Rhythm ends up in some anomalous state at power-on.
Although this is an unlikely occurrence, we have included a method of turning Circuit Rhythm on and
forcing it to load a blank Project instead. To do this, hold down both Shift and Clear while turning
Circuit Rhythm on.
If any Projects do become corrupted in any way it is always possible to delete them by clearing the
Project (see page 81).
MIDI parameters
Circuit Rhythm has been designed to respond in various ways to external MIDI data. MIDI Note On/
Note Off, Program Change (PGM) and Continuous Controller (CC) messages are all recognised.
Full details of MIDI settings and parameters are available in a separate document: Circuit Rhythm
Programmer’s Reference Guide, which may be downloaded from novationmusic.com/downloads.
