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.

@advanced-research10 күн бұрын
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

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?
@PsychologyAcademia2 ай бұрын
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-research2 ай бұрын
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.

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

For actually finishing up tracks and doing complex arrangements DAW is for sure better tool, but for ideation and trying out ideas hardware often more fluid.

@advanced-research7 күн бұрын
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

Cirklon has dedicated encoders for every step, large display and 5 pair of midi in/out - this alone makes it way more convenient to use than other sequencers on the market. On Digitakt there’s no way to see what note on what step without holding the step button. M8 is really powerful as a sequencer, but there’s only one physical midi port. Torso T-1 is fun, but has totally different workflow based on algorithms. Cirklon doesn't have MPE and a lot of other features you'd think would be there, so there’s that. Hapax looks cool, but working with the Ableton Push style grid is not my cup of tea. There’s so many devices to choose from so hopefully everyone can find something for themselves. But there are devices that you constantly coming back to, and Cirklon (at least for me) is one of them.

@voodoohex72 It’s possible to get Cirklon v1 on a used market for something around 1700-1800 eur, which still is not cheap but better than wait 3 years and pay 2000 eur plus VAT. As for Hapax, I haven’t tried it yet, only had experience with Pyramid. What’s the appeal of having so many pads in a sequencer for you? Playing it like a keyboard?

@@advanced-research yes that’s one thing and getting drum patterns going very fast(you are doing 8 tracks at once.) as well as visual feedback, selecting things very quickly etc. Real-time recording of notes and drums etc. Triggering patterns muting soloing etc. Honestly there is a big list once you see the power first hand. I can’t imagine the cirklon having half the ui experience of the hapax tbh. I had a pyramid too and hapax is way way better. Pyramid was great too though.
