Bootloader Mode - Novation Circuit Tracks User Manual

Bootloader Mode

In the unlikely event of a problem with your Circuit Tracks, it may become necessary to enable Bootloader
Mode. This is strictly an "engineering mode", and all normal unit functions become inoperative. You
should not use Bootloader Mode without instructions to do so from Novation's Technical Support team.
Bootloader Mode lets you check the version of the currently installed firmware, and also to update
firmware (and factory Patches) should the Firmware Update procedure described above not work
correctly for any reason.
To enter Bootloader Mode:
1. Turn Circuit Tracks off
2. Hold down the Scales
3. Power Circuit Tracks on again
Circuit Tracks will now be in Bootloader Mode, and the grid display will display a selection of green lit
pads (which may differ from that shown below):
Synth 1 and Synth 2 are lit; selecting either of these displays a pattern of illuminated pads; the
pattern represents the version numbers of the three firmware elements in binary form. You may need
to describe these patterns to Novation's Technical Support Team in the event of a problem.
Bootloader Mode is most easily exited by simply pressing the
reboot into the normal operating state.
