Hi Roman,
Did you get an invite to the cirklon-beta group ?
The basic manual information is there, as is an archive of messages from the
past months that cover a lot of things.
The cirklon group is for owners only, so I can prioritise support questions
over general enquiries.
It may make sense to merge the lists at some point, if that's even
possible...
I'll CC this answer anyway, for the benefit of owners who aren't on the
analogue-sequencer group too.

The cirklon patterns have a different feature set to the P3 patterns, aimed
more at sequencing drums and real-time, polyphonic keyboard parts, than
doing the tricksy stuff of aux events.
The default edit mode for them is the drum grid, which I assume is where you
were looking.
In drum edit, velocities are edited with the encoders above each step, for
the current note/row.
Pressing ROW toggles between the grid view and the graph view of velocities.
There isn't access to note lengths there yet. I wasn't sure if that makes
sense for drums, though some of us seem to be using the drum grid for
keyboard parts anyway.
You can change the length of a ck pattern by holding the LAST key and
turning the BAR encoder.
Cirklon patterns don't have aux events.
You can access the event list edit mode by holding SHIFT as you press
PATTERN from the SONG, SCENE or TRACK page.
That gives you a complete view of the MIDI events in a ck pattern, which you
can scroll through, and edit all the values with the encoders under the
display.

When you are on an aux row, press and hold the ROW encoder, then turn it.
That brings up the aux selection list.
Once you get used to this 'gesture', you'll find it a lot quicker than
reaching for a menu key.
A second hold & turn of ROW will bring up the event group list.
Just scroll in the lists with ROW, and press it to make a selection. Or
press MENU to cancel the list and leave the aux as it was.
I should take a break from the soldering iron and see if I can clear enough
space to do a video of this.
It's a lot quicker to demonstrate than it is to explain.
> - SCULPT, A and B knobs are totally mysterious
SCULPT needs to be activated by holding SHIFT and pressing the SCULPT key.
One the LED is lit, hold the SCULPT key and tweak knob A while the pattern
plays.
The current row values will be captured from the knob position.
Knobs A and B are also assignable to track values in play mode.
I'll explain that as part of a track values tutorial.

Pretty much everything is there as far as the P3 patterns go.
I have some more work to do on the cirklon patterns.
What are you missing ?
