> To properly use a DB25 connector for CV and trigger outputs > you would indeed need a special cable. Actually, most of the DB25 cables you find will have all pins wired straight-through. They have to be to work with old Apple-style SCSI and PC parallel ports. I probably wouldn't be using it if I couldn't get ready-made 2m cables for less than 5ukp. 1 pin for ground leaves 24 for CV and gate. You can also get IDC DB25 connectors, which would allow a Cirklon to connect over a short and tidy length of ribbon cable into another, similarly sized unit sitting directly above it in the rack. For example, a 3U eurorack modular. On the question of basic CV/gate outputs - you could easily knock up a DB25 to 4 x quarter-inch or 3.5mm loom. Or you could probably get a few 3.5mm sockets into the shell of a DB25 plug, in the way they used to make those MIDI expanders for the Atari ST serial port. So putting a small number of individual CV/gate sockets on the rear panel is not really necessary. And dropping them solves the problem of which size and make to use.
