MIXER
Circuit includes a six-channel stereo mixer to let you adjust the volume of each track (i.e.,
instrument) relative to each other. By default, all the tracks are played at volume level of 100
(range 0 -127), leaving you with the Master Volume control
4
to adjust the speaker volume
and output level as required. You can also position each track anywhere in the stereo image.

Macro controls
The six illuminated pads are effectively Mute buttons for each track. Press a pad to mute the
track; the pad’s illumination dims. Pressing a Mute button stops the sequencer triggering notes
in the synth.
Note that the Oct J button
13
is illuminated: this indicates that the Macro controls will now
adjust the volume (level) of each track. Only the Macro controls vertically in line with the grid
columns are used. The encoder LEDs are illuminated with the track’s colour-coding, and dim as
the track level is reduced: the default level setting is for all tracks to be at maximum volume.
