fm1-nc-companion

• Twelve engines cover FM6, JUNO, PHASE, TRIO, ACID, PHYS, GRAIN, VOICE, LOFI, WHEEL, NOISE and SAMPLE across 161 built-in sounds.
• Part L plays the Circuit's first MIDI track and part R the second, leaving on the left and right outputs.
• SELECT picks the sound type, ALGORITHM the engine and PRESETS the sound, so a pad stays a pad across engines.
• The Circuit's eight macro knobs are mapped to matching parameters on every engine, and the FM-1 screen names each move.
• The FM-1 has no sequencer of its own, but an arp locked to the Circuit's clock runs with HOLD on REC.
• SEQ switches on Drone, stacking held notes or replacing the whole chord with each new strike.
• FX adds sends, delay, reverb, chorus and insert effects, and the white keys fire PERFORM effects while FX is open.
• Autosave keeps parts, sounds, effects and Dual choices, and a USB web page manages 32 user presets, DX7 banks and backups.
