Not > everyone wants to stump up for the necessary extra circuitry. so this extra card... the idea is that it would have 16-24 analog triggers? well, i like the idea, and would buy it... but it does seem very niche. what i think would make it a lot more versatile and useful, is if these outputs could all be configurable, like the Aux channels on a Kenton.... so if you wanted to use them all to trigger drums, you can, but you also have the option to use them for additional CVs i sold my P3 because of the lack of native CV/gate... i only have 1 Kenton Pro-2000, and i would find myself always having to choose whether to use it for a CV/Gate from the computer/DAW, or from the P3... plus, the rewiring of Midi cables always seemed like a chore and as a result the P3 didn't get used as much as it should've...... of course, i could've got another Pro2000, or maybe some kind of Midi-Merge box (yuck), but these just didn't seem like good options.... so i am really hoping that the Cirklon nails it on the native CV/Gate side of things..... i think that it would be a smart move considering the growing modular market thx jason [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
