THE SYNTHS
Each synth “engine” in Circuit is based on the powerful and versatile Novation MiniNova synth,
albeit with fewer controls than the MiniNova offers. This section of the User Guide discusses
the synth features in greater detail.
Playing a Synth
The two synth tracks – Synth 1 and Synth 2 operate identically. The only difference is in the
RGB colour coding – Synth 1 keys are illuminated purple and Synth 2 keys are green; the high
and low C notes in each octave show brighter than the intermediate keys in both cases. This
colour coding is consistent in other Views.
To play a synth in real time, press the Synth 1 or Synth 2 track button

and then
Note
6
. This places the grid in Note View for the selected synth. Note will illuminate in purple
or green according to which synth track is selected. The upper two rows of the grid constitute
the synth keyboard, while the two lower rows show steps in the 16-note pattern. Note these are
always illuminated pale blue, apart from the “current” step, which ashes white.
