Update August 2010:
Cirklon is now in production. The first factory units will ship in September.

Please include your real name and location in the email.
Cirklon is a totally new hardware sequencer design, with software based on the P3, but greatly improved
both in usability and internal operation.
The user-interface is based around a 240x64 pixel graphic LED display, 19 rotary encoders with push-switches, 2 assignable knobs, 35 high-quality Cherry keys with integrated LEDs, and a further 35 tri-colour status LEDs.
Cirklon has 16 tracks, with 5 independent MIDI INs and OUTs to connect a large number of
controllers and synths/sound modules while keeping MIDI latency to a minimum.
There is also a multi-channel CV/gate interface, USB MIDI for DAW synchronisation or soft-synth control, and a DIN Sync output.
The 32-bit, 72MHz ARM Cortex CPU runs a proprietary sequencer engine to ensure optimum timing
accuracy.
All MIDI ports are provided by hardware serial ports in the CPU core itself.
The CV/gate connectivity is on a Sub-D 25 pin connector. There are a number of options for how this can be configured, details to be finalised soon.
Pattern storage is comprised of 2MB battery-backed internal RAM and 512MB internal flash, with a SD/MMC card socket for data backup.
Price will be under 1000 ukp.
