Loading and Saving

When you press

Play

for the first time after powering on, the Project which Circuit Rhythm

plays will be the last one used when it was powered off. The factory demo described in the
previous section was loaded in to Memory Slot 1.

To load a different Project, you use

Projects View

. Press

Projects

19

to open this:

There are 64 memory slots, arranged as two pages of 32. Use the

J

and

K

buttons to scroll

between the pages. Each pad corresponds to one of the memory slots. The pad’s colour indicates
the slot’s status:

• White – the currently selected Project (only one pad will be white)
• Bright colour (initially blue) – slot contains either a Project saved by the user* or a factory

demo Project

• Dim blue – slot is empty

* See paragraph on “Customising Session Colours” on page 82.

You can select a different factory demo to listen to and play around with. You can jump between
saved Projects while in Play mode: the current Project will complete its current Pattern before
the new Project starts. (But if you hold down

Shift

while selecting a different Project, the Project

currently playing will stop immediately and the new one will start.)

Projects loaded when the sequencer is not running will play at the tempo used when the

Project was saved.

Projects loaded while the sequencer is running will play at the current tempo. This means that you
can recall different Projects sequentially with the confidence that the tempo will remain constant.
