I used it during a period when I was part of a duo that worked under a record label contract to produce our own music that was kind of a mix between the Manchester stuff (guitars + arps n sequencing), indie/alternative and list oriented electronic dance music. My dream was to use the Cyclone a lot with my MIDI guitar that had a switch to instantly swap between three octaves (for the MIDI output) but due to the frigging label deal there was never enough time to explore that properly. What I actually got to use the Cyclone for was creating arpeggios that we recorded as MIDI tracks in an Atari computer and from there on the Cyclone had done its job and was put back on the shelf while the synths were driven from the Atari. What I remember is that the Cyclone was quite buggy and needed to be restarted now and then. It could spontaneously stop working with no obvious cause (that's one reason we recorded its MIDI into the Atari) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 10:04 PM, mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com> wrote: > I'm a bit interested Per, how you used it? > Was it just a bit of synth gear, or part of some more "Per-like" esoteric > set-up?
