Are they no longer selling the acrylic cover? If so anyone got any nice alternatives?
I have a quilted cover from this company

Any 3d prints? 
When you say that, you mean record in the Cirklon with out/in midi loop or on an external midi recorder or directly on the same track ?
I recorded the notes with a midi keyboard directly into the Cirklon track that had the aux events I prepared.

Ok. Thank you for the precision, and for the trick. I didn’t thought about it before. Nice one.

Another trick that I found (don’t know if it’s a trick but I didn’t see it mentioned in the splitradix videos or in the manual), if you combine a step rep*n aux event with a tie, you can keep the length of the step without repeating the note.
So, if you put a step rep*n at 3, for example, and a tie, the length would still be 3 steps but the note would only play one time.

Nice. Is this the result of what you described above, or a different setup?
And what plugins did you use to create the sounds?

No that’s just me switching randomly between 3 or 4 scenes with repeats and accumulators aux events.
I only used Bitwig devices for the sounds.

Hi
Is anyone using a Push 3 standalone with a Cirklon
I was thinking of buying a Push Standalone and was just wonder if any one has both and how well these work together
Thanks
Hi!
New to Cirklon 2 and have a question.
I create a sequence of:
- Kick on track 1
- Snare on track 2
I make 2 scenes, mute kick in scene 1 and unmute the kick in scene 2 so kick and snare plays. If I go to Trackmode and unmute the kick and then go to Songmode, the kick will play even on scene 1 until Cirklon played scene 2 and I press stop (twice). Then scene 1 will start and the kick will get muted as it should.
Shouldn´t the kick be muted as soon as push play in Songmode?
What am I missing?
The process you’re looking for starts at the workscene ideally. You hit save the first time when the kick is muted and create your first scene. You then unmute the track and hit save again to create scene 2. There’s nothing in song mode that changes the saved mutes. If you create two scenes first then mute/unmute, you need to overwrite any scene with updated mute info.
See if that helps.

Thanks. Will try. Cirklon has some strange things like I can’t delete notes in a CK track, can’t change an instrument port/channel, instead I need to delete it and create a new. I could understand this behavior on a new device but it is 15 years now. But otherwise small things it is a beautiful machine. 
I have Hapax and even if that is more easy to understand, Cirklon is more tactile.

The thing I thought was strange was that I got the intended behavior after I played the scenes one time and started over, and not directly from start. Could you try?
You sure can change an instrument’s port and channel. You basically just edit the instrument definition (shift and select from the instrument list iirc). Similarly, you can delete notes in CK tracks - or do you mean remove the note line in the editor? Must confess I rarely do much in-depth editing of CK patterns - it’s long overdue for a proper piano roll rather than the more drum-focused thing it has now.
And I agree there are parts that are in need of an overhaul but I can’t give you any idea when … been personally hoping for the P3’s playlist function to make it over to Cirklon for approximately a billion years.
Don’t quite get what you mean about the playing scenes one time/starting over/not directly from start. Could you elaborate? You have to save the mutes you want per scene. If you select a new scene, you get the mutes/patterns/FTS etc. of that scene. Select another you get the values stored in that scene.

BTW I think you can delete a row in a CK pattern - it’s a menu item though. My own use for CK patterns is either for drum parts or to play stuff in manually, in which case I never edit just either keep or delete.
