Cirklon 2 is the latest version of multi-track hardware sequencer by Sequentix. With the same MIDI, CV and USB device connectivity as its predecessor, it adds USB host support, a full-colour TFT display, 4 x data memory and a major CPU performance boost.

With rock solid timing, intuitive workflow and superb build quality, Cirklon 2 is designed, manufactured and tested in Berlin to exacting standards.

The user-interface is based around:

• 480x128 pixel full-colour TFT touch-screen.
• 19 rotary encoders with push-switches.
• 2 assignable knobs.
• 35 high-quality Cherry keys with integrated LEDs.
• A further 35 tri-colour status LEDs.
• Basic model has 5 fully independent MIDI in and out ports.
• USB host and device ports
• CVIO option adds 16 CV and 8 gate outputs.
• Movable rear panel allows desktop or rackmount use.
• Wooden end cheeks sold separately.

Cirklon 2 has up to 64 tracks, user-configurable as 1 to 4 banks of 16. There are 5 independent MIDI INs and OUTs to connect a large number of controllers and synths/sound modules while keeping MIDI latency to a minimum.

There is USB MIDI connectivity for DAW synchronisation, soft-synth control or MIDI pass-thru from a PC, and a DIN Sync output which can also be configured to connect the Drum-mux analogue percussion trigger interface. The optional CVIO analogue bus provides 16 hi-res CV outputs, and 8 configurable gate out/CV ins on a 25 pin connector, giving direct control of analogue synths with optimum timing response and no further load on the MIDI ports.

USB host support for class-compliant USB MIDI interfaces allows the addition of up to 16 MIDI input and output ports.

The 32-bit, ARM Cortex M7 CPU runs a proprietary sequencer engine to ensure optimum timing accuracy. All MIDI ports are provided by hardware serial ports in the CPU core itself. Pattern storage is comprised of 8MB battery-backed internal RAM, with internal flash and an SD/MMC card socket for data backup.
