Is there a post somewhere as to Cirklon's features. I'm particularly interested in the differences between the Cirklon and P3 (besides the CV/gate). What can the Cirklon do that the P3 can't, or is it still a bit early to ask? Thanks.

What can the Cirklon do that the P3 can't, or is it still a bit early to ask? More tracks, more MIDI ins and outs, timing as tight as a gnat's chuff, polyphonic realtime record, drum editor, instrument definitions, MTC sync, USB MIDI, ordinary MIDI and CV, card slot, lots more memory than a P3, song mode for structured song construction but can break out of it at any time then jump back in later if you want... That kind of thing. :) -- Paul --- http://www.softroom.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/WilyEPeyote

on the midi record can you quantize your performance after the fact?

While people are asking questions and getting answers, I thought I would throw one out there. I borrowed a Manikin Schrittmacher some time ago, and fell in love with the way you could have one track play as an offset to another. Does the Cirklon have any similar concept? I know from my brief ownership of one, that it has accumulators that are kind of the same thing, but I could never really get results from them.

Accumulators work nicely in the P3 and Cirklon in that they add offsets to existing values such as pitch, velocity or whatever aux event is placed in row D. You can use them to make patterns get longer, or if using an event like random masking, you can have the randomness increase - all sorts of wacky stuff really. You might make the entire pattern shift in pitch on each pass or protect notes so that only sections of the pattern shift, there are lots of applications, especially as you can have positive and negative accumulation, add limits to the accumulators range and rules for what happens when those limits are reached. They might not be obvious from a brief acquaintance, buy accumulators are pretty versatile - so without knowing your particular problem with getting results, it's a bit hard to diagnose. As for other forms of modulation that might appear in Cirklon, that's up to Colin to reveal... :) -- Paul --- http://www.softroom.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/WilyEPeyote
