This article will go over how to save sessions to your Circuit and how to save them to Novation Components. 

Circuit has save disabled out of the box. To enable saving off sessions hold SHIFT + SAVE whilst turning the unit on. You will then see the save button lit blue.

Turning save off can be useful when performing to prevent accidental changes to your sessions.

Saving a Session on Circuit 

Create a Pattern/Session on your Circuit 

When you are ready to save press the "Session" button

The white illuminated button will be the pad the session is saved to. (the dark blue buttons are already saved sessions and the light blue buttons are empty sessions)

Select the "Save" button

and then select the pad you want to save it to (if you select a dark pad it will save over an already saved session)

The session will now be saved to that pad
