Recording Knob Movements
You can tweak the synth sounds in real time using any of the eight Macro controls
3
. Circuit
features Dynamic Automation, which means you can add the effect of these tweaks to the
recorded pattern by putting Circuit into Record Mode (by pressing Record
12
) while
moving the knobs.
When you have entered Record Mode, the LEDs below the Macro controls initially retain the
colour and brightness they had previously, but as soon as you make an adjustment, the LED
turns red to conrm that you are now recording the knob movement.
In order for the knob movements to be replayed, you must drop out of Record Mode before
the sequence loops right round, otherwise Circuit will overwrite the automation data with that
corresponding to the new knob position. Provided you do this, you’ll hear the effect of the
Macro control being replayed when the sequence next loops round, at the point in the pattern
where you turned the control.
You can also record Macro control changes when the sequence isn’t playing; in Note View,
press Record, select the step at which the change should occur by pressing and holding
the pad corresponding to the step; this will play the synth note(s) at that step. Then rotate the
Macro controls; the new value will be written to the automation data, and press Record again.
When the sequence is running, you will hear the effect of the Macro knob movements at that
step.
You can delete any Macro automation data you don’t want to keep by holding down Clear and
moving the knob in question by at least 20% of its rotation – the LED below the knob will turn
red to conrm. But note this will clear the automation data for that Macro for the whole Pattern,
not just at the sequencer’s current step.
