MIDI Thru configuration
You can determine the behaviour of the MIDI Thru port on Circuit Tracks’ rear panel in Advanced
Setup View. The options are for the port to act as a regular MIDI Thru port (this is the default), or to
duplicate the output of the MIDI Out port. This is useful if you have two pieces of hardware that you
wish to control with the MIDI tracks that don’t have MIDI thru ports themselves.
Use the Duplicate button
18
to set the behaviour. When Duplicate is lit bright green, the MIDI Thru
port will act as a second MIDI Out. When it is lit dim red, a hardware thru switch is activated and the
port acts as a regular MIDI Thru.
Master Compressor
Circuit Tracks includes a master compressor, which is applied to all audio outputs from the device. It
can be enabled or disabled by pressing FX
12
while in in Advanced Setup View. When the compressor
is enabled, the FX button lights bright green: when it is disabled, it lights dim red.
