Hiya, Don't know if you still would be interested, but Bill Marshall has made a scanned manual of the Zyklus available on his website http://www.vyla.co.uk Cheers, Marcel

The designer of the Zyklus, Bill Marshall, gave an answer in the same thread of the Sound-On-Sound forum (see my previous post). Hopefully it will give you a better idea of the Zyklus while I hunt for a complete manual ;D Sounds interesting IMHO :) Interesting enough to spark off a vigourous search for that manual ;D

Hi TK, Unfortunately I'm still nowhere near to getting a manual for that Zyklus MIDI Performance System, although I managed to track down 2 people that own one, but they don't seem to have time to copy/scan the manual ::) In the meantime, I found a thread on the Sound on Sound forum where the Admin had to say the following about the Zyklus:

Hi Thorsten, I'm very happy to hear you like the CD, thank you ;D As soon as I get the the Zyklus' manual I will forward it onto you and/or post it on a website as there may be other people interested in getting to learn its features. There may be some very usefull parts in it that could be implemented without too much hassle. In any case, I'll keep you posted on this one :) Cheers, Marcel

Hello all, As this is my first post here allow me to introduce myself. My name's Marcel Donné and I live in the Netherlands where I work as a network engineer. Music is my main hobby and I have tried to move away from softsequencers for a while now by trying to (unsuccessfully) track down a Zyklus MIDI Performance System. I came across this forum only last week and I have been thinking ever since if it would be possible to build a 'Zyklus-clone' using the MIDIbox SEQ, with some further development. Currently I'm in the middle of obtaining a User's Manual of the Zyklus, courtesy of Mr. Robert Leiner in Sweden, in order to get a thorough understanding of the all functions and possibilities. There's not much to be found of the Zyklus on the Internet. http://www.leinermedia.com/Studio/Zyklus2.html This is about the only page that has some details about the unit. If you'd like to get an idea of what the Zyklus can do, just listen to Vangelis' Direct album.
