Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
Starting at the lower row, the first three values are note, velo and ctrl.
With these controls, you can mix three different MIDI values into the single CV output at the
same time.
If you want to use an output purely for pitch CV control, as in our example synth1, the note
value should be set to 100%, and both velo and ctrl set to 0%.
For simple velocity or controller to CV outputs, set either velo or ctrl to 100%, and the others
to 0%.
An example of where you might want to mix two different values would be for a synth with a
CV input for filter cutoff.
Mixing some of the note value with velocity or a controller will give you variable filter
keyboard tracking and simultaneous filter modulation.
By default, the gate outputs follow the CV output of the same number.
That is, gate output 1 will turn on when a note is being played on CV output 1, and turn off
when the note is released.
If over-lapping notes are sent to the CV output, i.e. a new note starts before the previous note
ends, the most recent note will take priority.
If the new note is released while a previous note is still held, the CV output will return to the
previous note CV.
The gate setting controls how the gate output behaves when over-lapping notes are played.
Set to norm, the gate output will remain high while any note is being played.
Set to retrig, the gate output will briefly turn off then on again whenever a new note is played,
to re-trigger any envelopes.
The slide settings give a choice of smooth transitions from the CV for one note to the next,
also known as glide or portamento.
There are two slide settings, for mode and time.
There are five choices for slide mode:
off - no slide
a-lin - automatic, linear mode. Auto-slide modes only activate the slide when notes
sent to the CVIO overlap. This can be achieved by playing legato, setting the length of one
note in a pattern so it is held beyond the start of the next note, or by using the P3 pattern TIE
flag.
The linear part means that the change from one CV to the next happens in a straight line, also
known as ‘fixed rate’ slide. The time value determines the time taken to slide over a fixed
range of notes. It will take 12 times as long to slide over a full octave as it does to slide over
one semitone.
