This pack for Circuit pleases with its uniform style. All patches and sessions are immediately usable, sound excellent and are well made. As a suggestion for improvement, however, I would have liked the colour scheme to show which sessions belong together. Unfortunately, you have to do this yourself.

Macro 4: filter envelope depth (first half for negative modulation, and second half for positive).
Macro 5: filter frequency.
