April 2012:
Cirklon is not presently available from stock. The next production run is expected towards the end of June.
If you'd like to get on the waiting list, please email sales@sequentix.com,
including your real name and location in the email.
Cirklon is a totally new hardware sequencer design, with software based on the P3, but greatly improved
both in usability and internal operation. It retains the P3s step-sequencer pattern format, and adds an event-list pattern type ideal for polyphonic synth and drum parts, with event-list and drum grid editing.
The user-interface is based around a 240x64 pixel graphic LED display, 19 rotary encoders with push-switches, 2 assignable knobs, 35 high-quality Cherry keys with integrated LEDs, and a further 35 tri-colour status LEDs.
Cirklon currently has 32 tracks, though that may increase (or become configurable) if there is user demand.
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 or soft-synth control, and a DIN Sync output which can also be configured to connect an upcoming multi-channel 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.
The 32-bit, 72MHz ARM Cortex 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 2MB battery-backed internal RAM and internal flash, with a
SD/MMC card socket for data backup.
PRICING
The basic unit is 999 ukp

This tutorial video should give you an idea how Cirklon operates. A link to part 2 should appear at the end:
Cirklon can easily be switched between desktop and rackmount configuration, as shown in this video:
