When creating Patterns, it is obviously helpful to be able to hear each Oscillator’s contribution

while programming. For this reason, Circuit Mono Station has a secondary mode, Paraphonic

Mode 2. This is selected by pressing Shift

and Scales

together: the Scales button will

now illuminate bright white. In this mode, Oscillator 2 triggers the VCA as well as Oscillator 1, so

you can turn the Osc 1 Mixer level control down and hear all the notes in Oscillator 2’s Pattern.

Tracks

Each of Circuit Mono Station’s two Oscillators constitutes a Track. As described above, the

notes recorded on each Oscillator Track will be interdependent to a degree.

There is also a third “virtual” Track, the Modulation Sequencer. You can use this “data”

Track to record a parameter value for every Step in the Pattern. This can then be selected

in the synth’s Modulation Matrix to control any of the matrix’s controllable parameters, such

as oscillator pitch, pulse width, lter frequency and so on. More details can be found at “The

Modulation Sequencer” on page 44.

Programming the Modulation Sequencer Track (referred to elsewhere in this Guide as

Mod Seq) is a very similar process to programming other per-Step attributes, such as Gate

length, Velocity and Glide. A really powerful feature of Circuit Mono Station though, is that you

can make the Mod Seq data available to other compatible equipment (e.g. Eurorack modules)

with the Aux CV output. These topics are all covered in greater detail further on in this Guide.

Note View

To play a synth in real time, press the Osc 1 Part button

and then Note

. This places the

grid in Note View for Osc 1. Note will illuminate purple. The upper two rows of the grid constitute

the synth keyboard, while the two lower rows show steps the 16-note pattern. Note these are

always illuminated pale blue, apart from the “current” step, which ashes white.

In order to hear the notes from Oscillator 1, ensure that the Osc 1 level control in the Mixer
