In Note View, each of the two upper rows (or each of all four rows in Expanded Note View) will
now sound the notes of the G major scale, running from G to G’ (where G’ denotes a note one
octave above G). The same principle can be applied to re-scale the synth note pads in the Note
Views to any desired root key.
If you have already created a pattern including synth notes, you can change the keynote to
transpose the pattern, even while the pattern is playing. You can also change the scale itself for
an existing pattern. In this case, some notes in the pattern as it was created may not exist in the
new scale. In such a case, Circuit Mono Station makes an intelligent decision as to which note
to play instead, which will normally be either one semitone above or below the original note.
Selecting Patches
Circuit Mono Station has 64 memory locations for synth Patches, which dene the synth’s
sound by assigning predetermined values to the various controls. All 64 memory locations are
pre-loaded with factory Patches developed specically for Circuit Mono Station. To load a Patch
press the Patches button

. This opens the Patch View Page 1.

. In Page 1, Oct J is
illuminated bright white and Oct K dim white. Pressing Oct K will open Patch View Page 2.
Each of the pads in the grid represents 32 of the 64 factory Patches: Patches 1 to 32 are on
Patch View Page 1 and 33 to 64 are on Patch View Page 2. To view the other page in the case of
either synth, press the non-illuminated Octave button.
The pad corresponding to the currently selected Patch will be illuminated white and the others
will be deep blue. To select a different Patch, press its pad: it will illuminate white and the
previously pad will turn blue. The synth will now adopt the sound dened by the new Patch.
You can change Patch while a Pattern is running, though the transition may not be absolutely
smooth, depending on the point in the Pattern when the pad is pressed. Changing the Patch of
a saved Pattern does not alter the Patch that was originally saved with the Pattern, unless the
Session is re-saved.
Note that if you changing the Patch while listening to a demo Session (for example) may
not sound quite like what you expected, as the Patch used for the Session will have had its
parameters tweaked during Session creation.
