At the moment, nothing is final except that there will be some native CV
output.
The CPU itself has a built-in 12 bit DAC, so it would be daft not to at
least have 2 channels of CV/gate.

A couple of years ago, I did some analysis on MIDI latency in relation to
triggering percussion sounds.
Cirklon will have 16 tracks, and the means to create dedicated percussion
patterns, x0x-style.
The outcome of that testing was that I decided I need at least 16 to 24
channels of accent/trigger outputs to drive percussion sounds where every
channel can be updated in less than 2ms and preferrably less than 1ms.
Internal generation of those triggers seems like a much better idea than
trying to arrange some way of sending data to a MIDI to CV convertor in
advance, to be clocked out at the right instant.
This sort of thing will most likely be available as an optional card. Not
everyone wants to stump up for the necessary extra circuitry.
