Critic Reviews

Sequentix Cirklon: the next-gen hardware sequencer | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Sequentix's Cirklon hardware sequencer offers robust features like a 240 x 64 LED display, multiple MIDI connections, and ample memory for pattern storage, making it a versatile tool for musicians favoring hardware over software. However, being positioned as a P3 replacement, it still faces enclosure completion issues. The Cirklon promises improvements in usability, though its appeal may be limited by a price point approaching £1000. Overall, while it is a solid option for dedicated hardware enthusiasts, potential buyers should weigh the cost against its features and current market alternatives.

Possibly best hardware sequencer ever.

Undeniably dope. Proper crushing on the Cirklon. It is like a hardware fast tracker II. So simple to dial in a loop or long sequence. The playability is great too. Super simple controls and streamlined access to the steps makes editing very quick.

"We don't need a laptop. The laptop has actually become not very helpful. So we were like, "Alright, get rid of the laptop." What will replace it? We looked at MPCs. We looked at all of the other options. I considered building a [Sequentix] P3. The sequencers that we've got are effectively the step up from the P3. And just like, when we looked into what Cirklon could do, it was everything that we knew, really. "
