MIDI tracks and channels
Manufacturer documentedEnter Setup View with Shift + Save. Select Synth 1, Synth 2, MIDI 1, MIDI 2 or the drum track, then choose a channel from the top two pad rows. Press Play to exit.
Note reception and transmission are separate switches: pads 25 and 26. Pads 27/28 control CC reception/transmission, and 29/30 control Program Change. Bright pads mean enabled.
Clock and the second MIDI connector
Manufacturer documentedPads 31 and 32 in Setup View control clock reception and transmission. With reception disabled, Circuit Tracks uses its internal clock. Enabled reception follows valid incoming USB or DIN clock, falling back to internal timing when absent.
The MIDI THRU connector can be configured as a second OUT in Advanced Setup. In that view, Duplicate bright green means second OUT; dim red means hardware THRU. Do not assume THRU carries notes generated by Circuit Tracks.
