Bootloader Mode
In the unlikely event of a problem with your Circuit Mono Station, it may become necessary to
enable Bootloader Mode. This is strictly an “engineering mode”, and all normal unit functions
become inoperative. You should not use Bootloader Mode without instructions to do so from
Novation’s Technical Support team.
Bootloader Mode lets you check the version numbers of the currently installed rmware, and
also to update rmware (and factory Patches) should the Firmware Update procedure described
above not work correctly for any reason.
To enter Bootloader Mode:
1. Turn Circuit Mono Station off
2. Hold down the Scales
8
, Note
6
and Velocity
6
buttons
3. Power Circuit Mono Station on again
Circuit Mono Station will now be in Bootloader Mode, and the grid display will look something
like this:
Osc 1
Oct K
Clear
Save Sessions
Mod SeqOsc 2
Oct J
Osc 1
Oct K
Clear
Save Sessions
Mod SeqOsc 2
Oct J
Osc 1 and Osc 2 are lit; selecting each of these generates a pattern of illuminated pads; the
pattern represents the version numbers of the rmware elements in binary form. You may need
to describe these patterns to Novation’s Technical Support Team in the event of a problem.
Bootloader Mode is most easily exited by simply pressing the Play button. Circuit will then
reboot into the normal operating state.
