• Highly accurate internal clock and reset output
• External clock and reset input

Rhythmic Functions:

• Up to 512 step sequences�8x8x8 storage in memory
• 16th note main grid resolution
• 24 PPQ resolution in Zoom view for detailed sequence editing

LED Grid

• Built around 72 buttons set as a multicolor illuminated 8×9 array, Circadian Rhythms displays both note data and settings in a clear and precise manner. It takes only one click to switch to vertical view, turning the grid into a set of programming and real-time playing functions like Mutes, Loops, Swing, Fills, Copy and Paste, Grouping, Randomizing, and Manual drum-machine-style trigger entry. Activate any of those functions with only a button press or two.
• Using an array of multicolor illuminated buttons and innovative grid views provide a highly functional live performance sequencer with a beautiful glowing appearance that looks amazing onstage for both performer and crowd. As a master controller at the heart of your modular synthesizer, the Circadian Rhythms generates high-precision clock and reset signals for other sequencers and devices in your system and can act as a high-precision bridge for DAW synchronization.

Clock

Inside the Circadian Rhythms ticks an extremely precise clock with jitter and latency measured in microseconds, for the ultimate feel of the groove. The four modes of clock sync make interfacing with other modules, hardware, or software simple. Whether driving a large Eurorack system or synced to a DAW, the groove always remains tight.

Under the Hood

When state of the art chip technology, musically driven firmware, and professionally engineered hardware design all come together in one electronic device, the result is a music sequencer with unparalleled specifications. Start with a powerful and precise sequencing engine that has superb feel for the groove, add internal functions that automatically balance performance and smooth user-interface operation, and finish with outstanding low power consumption, placing minimal stress on power supplies even at maximum output, Circadian Rhythms has a design focused on the requirements of the most dedicated musicians and composers. Long-time pros will immediately feel a machine made for their needs, while newcomers can instantly dive into next-level programming and performance.

SyncBus Technology

The TipTop-Audio-designed SyncBus enables the CR to connect to any number of other SyncBus devices with the highest possible level of synchronization. A SyncBus master directly injects its core clock and running status into every connected unit so they work seamlessly as one device. Hook up two CRs to make a 16 channel device or add a Trigger Riot (or three) to the mix for further experimentation. Plus, the connection is done behind the panel, so there is no need to patch anything together.
