“swung”, these can be interpreted as 1/16-notes (semiquavers).

Clear will light bright green when Click is enabled and dim red when it is not. When enabled, you will
hear a metronome tick at every quarter note on all audio outputs whenever the sequencer is playing.

setting is not saved when Circuit Rhythm is powered off.
To adjust the volume of the Click, press Tempo/Swing and use Macro 5 ( Distortion ). Click level is also
