.
button will light dim orange, confirming that you can record to the slot. Press Record , it will light
bright orange and the two lower grid rows will initially light dim grey, but will change colour through
to orange one pad at a time, beginning with Pad 17 (the first pad on Row 3). This acts as a progress
bar, and shows how much of the maximum recording length that has been used. The maximum
recording time per sample slot is 32 seconds, so each of the 16 pads on the two lower grid rows
represents two seconds.
If less than 32 seconds worth of sample storage remains on Circuit Rhythm, fewer than 16 pads will
be lit. The number of pads that are lit corresponds to the remaining time available. For example, if 6
seconds remain, the first three pads will be lit dim grey, with the remaining pads being unlit.
To stop recording, press Record again. If the maximum sample time of 32 seconds is reached, or no
sample storage remains available, recording will stop automatically.
While sample recording is in progress the Record button is available in other Views, so that sample
recording can be stopped from other views.
If you need to record for more than 32 seconds, you can select another empty slot. In this case,
recording to the first slot will stop, but will continue directly to the second slot, allowing seamless
recording across multiple slots.
Samples will be normalised following recording, ensuring that all recorded samples are at a suitable
volume level. Beware that if silence is recorded, the low-level noise floor will be normalised, resulting
in a very loud sample.
After recording a sample, it will be available for use immediately, but it will take some time to save
to the pack. While the sample is saving, the sample slot will flash green in
