Korg - SQ-64 Polyphonic Step Sequencer + Software Bundle

Product Information

MIDI input and 2 MIDI outputs, USB mic type B, Sync input and output, 3 Melody tracks, each with MODULATION, PITCH and GATE outputs and a DRUM track with 8 trigger outputs to control analogue synths, Eurorack modules and drum machines. i love the modules like Melodicer that do that, i kinda hate the interface for them in modular format. Luckily you can at least edit multiple step at the time by holding the buttons but this is limited and frustrating on a 64 step sequencer, especially live. i've always lurved Korg stuff, spent my early 20's butts deep in an Electribe, was my only hardware. It’s also a simple process to copy and paste these from one to another, something that can be a struggle with some devices, where there’s a lack of appropriate controls.

The arpeggiator is moving so fast it sounds like a gurgle and I haven’t found a way of improving upon it. The moments of probability, of randomisation, of stochastic movement and Fill brings a level of interest and enjoyment that’s beyond my fingers’ meagre abilities. After playing with Ableton, I powered the SQ-64 down and connected the USB cable to one of my Anker multiport power bricks.There are a lot of configuration options and its likely that SQ-64 will fit your requirements, assuming that you are looking for a hardware sequencer. If you have the track selected but not an individual step, you can change every step's mod by the same value, The same way you could transpose a whole track or offset a whole track in the pitch and gate lane respectively.

KSP has a terrible clock when it’s acting as a slave or USB-midi converter and this was dealbreaker in the end for me.It’s a really useful way of making a shorter sequence feel like a much longer one, or just to add in some variation. Because only one other drum track received the notes, and one other drum track had all its notes deleted completely. Solid case, the knobs could be more user friendly, also the lighting of the knobs, where you cannot tell from time to time if they are lit or not.
