Have you thought about making the knobs on the rotary controllers a different colour (e.g. white)? Being black means under low light conditions it might not be so easy to see them. Or in your experience is this not a problem. Excited about this, especially with the CV/gate breakout.

Or in your experience is this not a problem. I don't find it a problem - there is a fair bit of stray light from the LEDs reflected back up through the gaps around the knobs. Nagle sits in the dark more than me. Have you had any problems finding your knobs in the dark Paul ? The knobs are easier to see in real life than they are on the youtube video. But I will probably be adding rings around the knob holes on the engraving/silk screen, just to make them show up better in photos.

What aspect of the design do you think makes the difference ? Cirklon has the same knobs as P3. The key caps are different, but they are the same switches. And the text on the panel is all the same font. I think the biggest visual difference comes from the colour. I will have a silver coloured panel to try out soon. There are also black key caps to try instead of white. Best regards, Colin Fraser Sequentix Music Systems Ltd http://www.sequentix.com

Hello, talking about the design, I'm missing something from the P3. The Circlon looks more like a serial made device, I mean, something from Korg could have that look. I really like more the laboratory look of my P3. Something like an analog sequencer makes more sense to me in that way. Perhaps this is only a prototype and not the final look. Just my opinion... Regards. Miguel.

Well, I think that the big market already use Ableton Live and soft plugins, of course for many of those people P3 is too complicated as also a painted on black Cirklon will be. I don't see the point as marketing strategy too look more conventional. I really believe that most people who can be interested on a serious hardware sequencer preffer that arcane look as I think that arcane doesn't mean unprofessional (most of the times it means the opposite). If anyone like to have a look to other company as Dave Smith, they are changing their more important synths from an encoder interface to a classic knob layout and the public response has been great. Perhaps this is an interesting topic even to make a poll but of course Collin is who has to decide how his stuff look like and I'll buy the Cirklon even in pink but that's just me...

IMO this is confusing different things: The P3 is difficult to use not because it wasn't a korg dj box but because the display is too small and the multifucntion knobs and menus were neither classic, analogish nor intuitive - oh, and because there is no manual for V4! As for the look - the utilitarian alu look was nice but hardly unconventional, being used by both Behringer and Doepfer. I loved the look of the P3, but personally when i saw that cirklon panel I thought, wow! BUT I will say I hate those soft knobs, I think they do look unprofessional and not in a cool way. Black knobs on a black unit is also never a good idea for a stage instrument IMO (those MFB drum boxes are a pretty stupid design for that reason). Whatever knobs colin decides on I probably will replace them with cream coloured Davis knobs anyway (now that is classic!) These will look beautiful and be very visible against with a black panel too Richard Miguel Mendoza wrote: > > > Well, I think that the big market already use Ableton Live and soft > plugins, of course for many of those people P3 is too complicated as > also a painted on black Cirklon will be.

(raises hand) I prefer a 'professional' look to a 'laboratory' look...but it doesnt ultimately matter. I doubt anyone is going to decide to buy one sequencer over another based on aesthetics. Given two otherwise equal choices, the aesthetics may become the deciding factor but I highly doubt anyone is going to rule a piece of equipment out based on aesthetics as a pimary reason (unless, of course, its given a purple shag outer casing with glittery sequined face plate).

I never though P3 is difficult to use, for what it does I can't imagine a more intuitive interface despite of the small display. Have you tried a Jomox 999? Well, I love Jomox synthesis but it's a nightmare to program even with a bigger display. I don't need to see the sequencer bars on a display because I prefer to listen to the music than to watch it. Anyway, for me it's not a really big difference, only I said that I miss that P3 'flavour'. Perhaps is the colors combination or the colour of the screen or perhaps i don't like the leds trail when the sequencer is running. --------------------------------------------------

I can't see the point where 'laboratory' is 'opposite to professional'. And I think that aesthetic does matter. To put another example, imagine if Alesis would have created their Andromeda with a great vintage look. If someone know this synth already know what I'm speaking about. --------------------------------------------------

Dave Smith Instruments are using pots because it's an analog synth and the encoders were crap. Cirklon being a digital sequencer I don't really see that being an issue... In fact encoders make mote sense to me. Personally I liked the look of the silver cover in the first boot video posted, and I usually vote for black gear. Either way it looks great.

That is exactly it Paul... I miss that tight of my 1040STfm running Hybrid Arts Edit track - didn't realize how good I had it until I bought a PC... and then a Mac (better but not 1040) I'm looking forward to this sequencer, but I'm also one of those that found the P3 a tad difficult to deal with and look forward to a better interface. I've got time to practice now, was working full time and doing a degree with a young family when I bought the P3. That said a few youtube helps vids are always appreciated :) fingers are currently at the ready. Steve --- In analogue-sequencer@yahoogroups.com, Softroom <softroom@...> wrote:
