The Osc 2 level control in the Mixer section

must be turned up and Paraphonic mode 2
selected (by pressing Shift + Scales) in order for Oscillator 2’s notes to be audible. Note that
the Scales button is illuminated bright white when Mode 2 is active.
With the exception of the Chromatic scale (see Scales, page 30), the top row of playing pads
contains notes one octave above those in the second row. The highest note of the lower octave
(Pad 16) is the always the same as the lowest note of the upper octave (Pad 1). Thus to play
the notes over two octaves in ascending order, start with Pads 9 to 16, then 1 to 8.
When Circuit Mono Station is powered up and an empty or new Session selected, Middle C
will normally be the lowest note of the two octave keyboard (Pad 9). It is possible to alter the
keyboard ‘layout’ so that the bottom note is something other than C – see page 30. The
oscillators have a total range of 12 octaves; you can access higher or lower pairs of octaves by
using the Oct J and Oct K buttons
12
. Note that at the highest and lowest octave settings,
the ‘size’ of the keyboard is limited.
Dual View
If you press both Osc 1 and Osc 2 together, Circuit Mono Station enters Dual View. This lets
you access a two-octave keyboard for both Oscillators simultaneously, which is great for
getting to grips with the unit’s paraphonic potential in real time.
