Bootloader Mode
In the event of a problem with your Circuit Rhythm, it may become necessary to enable Bootloader
Mode. This is an “engineering mode”, and all normal unit functions become inoperative. You should not
use Bootloader Mode without instructions to do so from Novation’s Technical Support team.
Bootloader Mode lets you check the version of the currently installed firmware, and also to update
firmware (and factory Patches) should the Firmware Update procedure described above not work
correctly for any reason.
To enter Bootloader Mode:
1. Turn Circuit Rhythm off
2. Hold down the Sample Rec

, Sample

and Note

buttons
3. Power Circuit Rhythm on again
Circuit Rhythm will now be in Bootloader Mode, and the grid display will display a selection of green
lit pads (which may differ from that shown below):
Synth 1 Drum 4Drum 3Drum 2Drum 1Synth 2 MIDI 1 MIDI 2
Track buttons 1 and 2 are lit; selecting either of these displays a pattern of illuminated pads; the
pattern represents the version numbers of the three firmware elements in binary form. You may need
to describe these patterns to Novation’s Technical Support Team in the event of a problem.
Bootloader Mode is most easily exited by simply pressing the Play button. Circuit Rhythm will
then reboot into the normal operating state.
