Starting from Scratch
If you’re already familiar with producing music using hardware, you can probably skip this section!
But if you’re a novice, you may find it useful.
Once you’ve experimented with the factory demo patterns for a while, you will probably want to
create a pattern from scratch.
Select Projects and select an empty memory slot (a pad showing dim blue). Now press 1

. When you press Play you’ll see the white pad (the play cursor) progressing
across the 16 Pattern steps:

You won’t hear anything just yet.
NOTE : On Circuit Rhythm, Patterns are 16 steps long by default. This can be changed to 32 steps for
any or all of the eight tracks. This topic is explained in “Step Page” on page 49.
For simplicity, the discussion in this section uses 16-step Patterns as examples.
To build a beat, first tap sample slots 1 or 2 (slot 1 is pad 17, slot 2 is pad 18) to select a kick drum
sample, then tap* steps to add triggers to the pattern. To make a basic hip-hop drum beat, add kicks
on the steps seen in the picture below (1, 3, 8, 9, 11 and 14). Now press play to hear back your beat.
*Many of Circuit Rhythm’s buttons produce different behaviours depending on whether the button is “tapped” (half a second or
less) or “held”. In this case, a holding a step pad will arm the step for a sample flip: this feature is discussed on page 31.
