Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Sequentix P3 Sequencer.

User experience

  • Owners note that track controls can be saved per scene, providing flexibility for creating dynamic musical segments like drops and breakdowns.

    Source
  • Owners note that the Cirklon excels in creating monophonic and acid-style sequences, with more effort needed for complex polyphonic parts.

    Source
  • Owners note returning to the P3 from Cirklon due to a preference for more tactile step sequencing over comprehensive control.

    Source
  • Some find the Cirklon’s method for dealing with row definitions cumbersome, often leading to drastic measures like deleting the entire instrument definition.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The Cirklon can interface with both hardware and software setups, allowing control over diverse music production environments.

    Source
  • Users encounter issues with the Cirklon’s CK pattern rows not aligning with MIDI note claims, showing discrepancies between C3 and C1/C2.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • Users can achieve complex drum patterns in P3 mode, utilizing probabilities and accumulators usually found in modular or Max4Live setups.

    Source
  • The Cirklon offers two sequencer modes: CK for infinite sequences and P3 for monophonic step sequencing with advanced aux track capabilities.

    Source
  • CK patterns allow for recording and automation of multiple MIDI CC values without a limit, with each CC having its own lane for detailed control.

    Source
  • The Cirklon uses a different MIDI note convention compared to other devices, causing octave discrepancies when interfacing with instruments like the Electribe.

    Source
  • The P3 can record and sequence up to 96 MIDI CC values across 16 rows, but only 6 are accessible per row at one time without switching rows.

    Source
  • Deleting notes in CK mode mutes them rather than erasing, preserving information for potential recovery.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The Cirklon is praised for its efficiency in sequencing jungle music, especially when paired with hardware like the Akai S3200.

    Source
  • The ability to save track values on a per scene basis is highlighted as particularly useful for arranging music segments such as fills and breakdowns.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Cirklon is similar to the QY700 in functionality but offers tighter sequencing; it doesn't match the QY700's chord track or progression features.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • To remove a CK pattern row, all notes must be deleted or purged, yet the row may persist, requiring further navigation out of pattern view.

    Source
  • "Delete unused rows" functionality in the menu is not easily found, with some users confusing it with "purge muted notes."
