Common Novation Circuit Tracks Groovebox Questions
How do I sync Circuit Tracks to my other MIDI gear like a synthesizer or drum machine?
Connect MIDI cables to the MIDI In and Out ports on the Circuit Tracks to your other devices. Configure MIDI channels in the Circuit Tracks' settings menu (Shift + Settings/Utility) and ensure they match the receiving device.
How do I save my patterns, sessions, and synth/drum kits on the Circuit Tracks?
Press Shift + Save to access the save menu. Use the pads to select a session slot (1-64) to save your current session (including patterns, kits, and mixer settings), and press Save again to confirm.
How do I quickly switch between different patterns and scenes during a live performance?
Use the Session view (accessed by pressing the Session button) to launch entire collections of patterns on the fly, or use the Pattern view to chain patterns together in the sequencer for more complex arrangements.
My Circuit Tracks isn't making any sound, what should I check?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up and that headphones/speakers are properly connected to the correct outputs (either the stereo outs or headphone jack). Also confirm that the tracks aren't muted (mute buttons on the mixer section) and that the Global Output is set correctly in the settings.
What is 'Unquantised Record' and how do I use it for more flexible sequencing?
Unquantised Record, enabled in settings (Shift + Settings/Utility), records your performance timing exactly as played, without snapping notes to the nearest step. This allows for more nuanced and humanized groove creation.
