You’ll get there soon enough. I believe they have ramped up production a little bit cause the batch before me they said they’d have 50 at the end of September. This seems to be quicker than I remembered it being when I signed up.
Something I wish I did while waiting was read through the manual to understand the general workflow and big concepts. It’s hard to go through it without one in front of you, but if you could get the big ideas like Accumulators (which is like a For loop applied to a pattern if you’re into programming) and what can be done with a pattern in general I think it would help a lot. I still need to go through the last portion of it cause it just got real heady by then in one day. You could skim the nitty gritty stuff like button combos etc, but just being able to sit down with it and think I want to do X, then you would already know if it could be done or not and reference the manual when needed I think is a powerful thing.
And for the record, it’s way easier to learn than Octatrack which is also one of my fav machines, but only after many years. Point being if you can Octatrack, you can Cirklon no prob.
Oh cool man thank you! It’s funny you say that cause the melodic stuff is really easy to sequence vs anything else I’ve used other than a DAW. So in a way it’s drawing out explorations into those Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin etc vibes instead of the usual s and s. Anyways, I’m excited for you to get one
did you hook a master midi controller up yet? or use a synth that you’re otherwise sequencing; it’ll be fine too. I love that you can hit record while it’s stopped and when it receives the first midi note from the controller/synth, the sequence starts playing back and recording. awesome for writing melodies. well, ones that start on the first beat anyway…
Finally, after 2 years and a half waiting … it is now my turn on the list!!
Big ouch to my bank account but I am very excited! can’t wait to receive the beast
there’s a line within the V2 release thread over at the Sequentix forum that’s cracking me up… dude talking about how he’s starting to gauge his waiting time for a Cirklon against the number of relationships he’s had in the meantime. he’s on one fiancee and two long term girlfriends…
I met this Parisienne girl named Squarp Pyramid and we WhatsApp almost everyday. This is like trying to get into an exclusive techno club in Berlin to only wait and wait.
But overall the pyramid is keeping me occupied and creating so when my number comes up I may bite still just for the sake of trying it out.
