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.

per this April 5, 2018 feature for Future Music a photo from Avery's studio reveals a Cirklon Sequentrix.
"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. "
Jas Shaw, a music producer, confirms the use of the Sequentix Cirklon Hardware Sequencer during his writing sessions. This information is supported by a statement found on MusicRadar, where Shaw mentions, "Probably Cirklon or Norns if I’m in writing mode, but then a good monitoring system is also really the backbone of a studio."
The Cirklon can be seen in the 4th image of this instagram post.
