Re: Cirklon + Midi fader/knobby box?

2011-09-13 by digitalbunny81

Great news, thanks Paul.
Sounds like a great combo, being able to record external tweaks via the Cirklon.
Very excited.
I just paid off the Moog Voyager XL just minutes ago and am looking at the Vermona DRM1 MK3 as well, so the Cirklon will certainly give them a smashing!

Cheers
Steve G

That would indeed make an external box redundant... as long as you can freely assign CC's, as you say there's an issue with controlling your octatrack.
