How to make music with a sequencer

[@insipid.dreams8968]

watching someone familiar with a synth work their way around is truly a wonderful experience. fantastic video

[@JonathanRCross]

I love watching for that as well, always fascinating to see how folks put things together.

[@eighteenthful]

Great job, for me it s super helpful to see not only a tutorial on a device, but also a strategy of how people approach the process of making a track. Keep doin!

It took 4 years to arrive. I don t think i will ever be so handy with it like you. Buying was the easy part 🤭

[@advanced-research]

I use it for more than 3 years. It takes time to learn Cirklon, but totally worth in the end. It’s one of those devices that I use almost in every session in my studio. I hope you will enjoy your practice. Cheers

[@nagchumpalot]

Yeah but in 4 years you could make about 400 tracks like this in Abelton..😅🤣 but half the fun.. Enjoy the Cirklon!

No wonder so many people want it, looks like a joy to work with when you get the functions into muscle memory

Yes it is!

[@kylen-unixowy]

nooo way xD, this is the best session I've ever seen, the whole flow is in my style, mechanical keyboard, hardware synth and one hardware sequencer, it's amazing, I love it. For the same purpose and to achieve the same work flow, I use MPC One+ with many hardware synth (midi+usb with hub) for the same thing, but your solution is much better and even more convenient.

[@advanced-research]

Thanks! Modern groove boxes and samplers are indeed very capable in sequencing. MPC is a solid choice for sure.

[@ccorcos]

I love how there's clearly a recipe for making a song like this. It would be cool to construct this recipe in SonicPi or Overtone to generate more songs like it with different variations. I also notice that the OP-Z was clearly aspiring to make something more like this, but it's just much less usable than Cirklon.

[@MatsueMusic]

As a newbie to synths you had me thinking this was “vintage” gear. But the more you showed the more I was blown away. I will say I experienced enough to know that you make the entire process of music making look like second nature. Bravo! The way you showed the process simply appears like a masterclass, even though I know nothing about this. If this is not “programming music”, I don’t know what it is

[@KLI333-9]

Loved the demo! Sounds of buttons are mesmerising and its very fun to watch Sometimes i feel like cirklon is protools (editing wise) of sequencers. It has a hard learning curve but when you get it, you become much much faster than other programs/sequencers

[@advanced-research]

Thanks! To be honest, I don't find that Cirklon is hard to learn. Yes, it goes deep, but I still remember how I was able to jam with just a P3 pattern in the first night. You don't have to use aux events, MIDI CC or song mode, it's totally usable with just "superloop" approach. Cheers.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

I love the hardware aspect and the retro buttons are mega cool : but !: With the insane amount of button pressing and menu diving the inspiration and creativity is out the window for me .... Cheers 🥂

[@advanced-research]

Thanks! I think if you try to write a similar try with something like a Digitakt you would have to use the same amount button pressing, maybe even more. I personally don't find Cirklon too menu diving, because it has a flat structure and most of the menus don't go more than one level deep. Maybe the fact that I've named every pattern and scene gives you that impression, but it's totally possible to use Cirklon without that. I did that only to make easier to follow the whole process, in real application I would just jam, copy and duplicate scenes on the fly without naming things much because it does slow you down. Cheers.

[@juliaseppi2205]

With something like a sequencer there's always going to be some degree of menu diving.

[@vagueversatile]

Very cool video! For the OP-1, you are sequencing it from the circklon or you sampled it? I don’t understand how you sequence the chords + other things on the OP-1 considering it is mono timbral

[@advanced-research]

In this video I've been using OP-1 only as a MIDI controller, all sounds come from Virus. It is mono timbral unfortunately. Once I've tried to sequence OP-1 with Cirklon, and it works, but not being able to play multiple tones simultaneously is a big constraint. Cheers

[@niallmccaffrey791]

If i send the PGM to my Virus B as you do here, the virus misses the first note on the downbeat as it takes a few miliseconds to change patch. Did Access fix this in later models?

[@advanced-research]

In the video I use multitimbral approach so there’s no need to change patches on the fly. I would suggest to use “pre-send pgm” option in instrument definition, it could fix your problem. It takes some time to change the patch on TI too, but not sure how is it faster compared to B. I even did crazy pattern where I randomly change PGM on every step, it’s fun but sometimes Virus crashes, depending on the bank chosen. Let me know how it goes. Cheers

[@VINYLCRATE]

If I want to control, say 16 tracks on the Digitakt, would I create an instrument for each track, labelled "Drums", with a dedicated channel? Or would I create a single instrument then have each track between the Cirklon and Digitakt mapped to the same channel?

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Drums are easily mapped as they all have their own dedicated channel. You only have to have one instrument on Cirklon. Different channels for each drum sound though.

[@advanced-research]

As far as I know Digitakt doesn't allow to control all its tracks with single MIDI channel. You can use "Auto" channel in Digitakt MIDI config but it would control only active track. To control all Digitakt tracks with Cirklon separately, you would have to create an instrument called “Digitakt” with “multi” option on. Then you would add multiple instances of that instrument on different Cirklon tracks, each with its own MIDI channel, like 1, 2, 3 and so on. There's probably not a lot of benefits to do that, since you would lose the ability to use parameter locks (CC aux rows is not exactly the same). I usually just sync Digitakt with clock and start/stop messages from Cirklon, it's easier this way.

[@doverbeachxyz]

@@advanced-research digitakt allows to control all its track with a single midi channel! I know because I did that with my vector (the cirklon baby brother)

[@AndreyAtapin]

how do you route the entire setup including synths, drum machines, mixer and effects?

[@advanced-research]

All analog equipment goes into patchbay, from patchbay to the mixing desk. Effects are on send/return of the mixing desk. It’s pretty standard setup. Non-standard thing is that I also route digital signals from audio interface to the console but with the help of custom built switcher - you put DB25 cables A and B and decide which signal goes in (digital or analog) per channel basis. So you can have channels 1-4 on mixing desk coming from the DAW and 5-8 from analog synths. I hope that explains everything. Cheers

[@AndreyAtapin]

@@advanced-research thanks! it would be great if you showed your setup on a video one day

[@advanced-research]

I’ve intentionally left button clicks on pretty high volume level so it hopefully would turn into ASMR vibes. Cheers!

[@kisho2679]

Does it have effects like the Squarp Pyramid?

[@advanced-research]

Cirklon doesn't have "effects" concept, although most of these features are possible with the use of Aux rows, Track Values or Scene page. - Quantisation is possible in CK patterns (they are like MIDI), but it has to be applied destructively to the pattern. - Arpeggiator is kind of possible as one of the Step-time record modes in P3 patterns (they are advanced step sequence patterns). - Harmonizer is possible with "Aux note rel", I've demonstrated this in the video in the section with pad. - Swing is a single value parameter on Scene page, I've demonstrated this in the video, by very end before final jam. - Randomizer exists as set of complex Aux random events and random masks, I've demonstrated this in the section with main riff arp filter cutoff modulation. - Delay and Equalizer are pretty unique to Squarp Pyramid. Cirklon also has "delay", but it's different feature. - Scale is defined per Scene or Pattern, with the support of 20+ pre-made scales and also 8 user scales. - Note to CC is just an CC Aux row in P3 pattern with parameter mask that copies values from notes, I didn't show this in the video, search Cirklon manual for "Target Values For Grab, Swap and Push". - As for BPM effect, you can do BPM changes between "songs", although there's no way to dynamically change BPM within the song or the sequence, as in Ableton, for example. - Chance is possible, as I've demonstrated in the most cryptic part of my video, but this implementation is quite horrible from UI perspective, to be honest. - LFOs are currently not possible on Cirklon, only if you manually create a separate pattern with modulation you need. With this direct feature to feature comparison it's obvious that while Cirklon is indeed a very powerful sequencer, it totally lacks many "modern" capabilities from Elektron machines or Squarp Pyramid. I personally have a really long list of features for Cirklon team to implement, and I even posted all of it on official forum, but I doubt it will ever be realized in foreseeable future, sigh. That's why I not only use Cirklon, but also Ableton Live, Torso T1, Dirtywave M8 and other sequencers, each of them has its advantages. Cheers

Nice performance, but why purchase a hardware sequencer instead of using a software sequencer with midi controller?

[@advanced-research]

Thanks. This is purely workflow preference. Also, I personally don't know of any MIDI controllers designed with sequencing in mind - aside of Ableton Push, which is in my opinion is quite basic as a sequencer. Yes, you can totally put notes with mouse or MIDI keyboard, draw MIDI CC envelopes, use clever MIDI transform devices, etc - but most of these actions are just faster to do with Cirklon (for me personally). I believe that computer software is the best tool for editing, but not for creating from scratch. As in any creative process, there's synthesis (creating ideas) and analysis (editing and re-arranging). With great hardware devices you get muscle memory, you don't have to look at screen much, you can do multiple things at the same time - and for some people it's enough to choose it as primary tool for creating new musical ideas. Then you put everything in DAW and edit the hell out of it. Cheers
