About this manual
We’ve tried to make this manual as helpful as possible for all types of user, both newcomers to
beatmaking and those with more experience. If you’ve already been beatmaking for a while, you
may want to skip over certain parts of the manual. If you’re just starting out, you may want to
avoid certain parts until you’re certain you’ve mastered the basics.
However, there are a few general points that are useful to know about before you continue
reading the manual. We use some graphical conventions within the text, which we hope everyone
will find helpful in navigating through the information to find what you need to know quickly:
Abbreviations, conventions, etc.
Where we refer to top panel controls or rear panel connectors, we’ve used a number thus:
X
to
cross-reference the top panel diagram, and thus:
X
to cross-reference the rear panel diagram. (See
pages 16 and 19 ). We’ve used Bold text to name physical things – the top panel controls and rear
panel connectors, and have made a point of using the same names used on Circuit Rhythm itself.
We’ve used
smaller Bold italics
to name the various Views that the grid can display.
