They were usually switched on I think. With the P3 I had 8 tracks and 
for the kind of over-the-top gratuitous noodling I needed 16. It also 
meant I could have my synths permanently allocated to tracks on a 
specific P3 which made it easier to remember how it all hang together.

Cirklon currently has 32 tracks that you can allocate freely over 5 MIDI 
outputs, CV/Gate, USB. Not even I would need two Cirklons, especially as 
you can name instruments, patterns, tracks etc. and therefore keep track 
of where you are far easier. There's an awful lot of power/potential, 
more than with two P3s.

I find 32 tracks is definitely enough, the ideal number I found. Any 
more and I struggled to keep track of what was were, plus I was forever 
whizzing around the track pages to get to where I wanted to be.

Indeedy.
