Re: [analogue-sequencer] Cyclon sticker shock!

I can certainly understand, but given the price of hardware step  
sequencers, especially with cv/gate - the Cirklon seems to be very  
nicely priced.

Perhaps it's not fair to compare to the Octopus, since you're paying  
for the form factor, cosmetics, etc  -  but maybe the Schrittmacher is  
a good comparison. The Cirklon should be coming in well below that.  
The Signal Arts Tetra MAPS is another good comparison - it's a bit  
less than the Cirklon, and has its own unique style to recommend it -  
but the Cirklon is overall much more powerful, Colin has a history of  
updating the firmware much more frequently. And while the  
Schrittmacher also has some things to recommend, it also doesn't  
compare overall with the feature set of the Cirklon, and doesn't have  
cv/gate at all.

There is the Nemo - my personal experience with it was that the  
interface was nowhere near as friendly as the Octopus, and it also has  
no cv/gate.

Of course, that doesn't help you if you don't have the $ - but once  
these reach production, there will eventually be used ones at lower  
prices.

And it looks like the Cirklon will sell at a lower price than used  
p3's were going for just awhile back.
