Increase The Functionality Of Analog Synths And Other Gear With The Korg SQ1 Step Sequencer2 x 8 step sequencer. Connect any type of device and control it freely.When the classic MS-20 analog synthesizer appeared in 1978, it had a trusted partner in the SQ-10 step sequencer. Now, after thirty years, the MS-20 has been reborn as the MS-20 mini, and the SQ-10 has evolved into the more modern SQ-1. The SQ-1 is a compact step sequencer with 2 x 8 steps. It's wealth of connection jacks allows it to be connected to the MS-20 and a variety of other synthesizers. Vintage analog synths or the latest compact synths can be controlled from this single unit. You can also switch between a variety of synthesizer modes and use the step buttons to create performances overflowing with spontaneity, just as when using a volca unit. Liberate yourself from the numerically-bound parameter editing that's typical on a DAW; you'll enjoy truly musical inspiration as you train your ears and concentrate on what your fingertips are doing. Don't miss the experience of music that's driven by your instinct. Connect and control the MS-20 and many other types of equipment The SQ-1 provides two channels (A and B) of 8-step sequencer that can operate consecutively, or be used in a variety of other modes Step buttons inherited from the volca provide excellent improvisatory possibilities Sturdy and compact body, with battery operation Sequence step resolution is selectable as quarter notes, eighth notes, or 16th notes You can specify the way in which the step knobs control the pitch.
