Korg SQ-1

Excellent little sequencer

So easy to use and great for live performances too. I use it a lot with my eurorack setup. For the price a total no brainer. Get one. Or better, get more than one :)

Great sequencer

Best sequencer for in this price range price. Has many different modes. The only disadvantage i would say is that it scratches easily.

Dejen el ableton a un lado y dejen que las perillas manden

Yo no le tenia ningún tipo de fe de que esto podía ser tan útil para manejar equipos modulares y ahora lo recomiendo totalmente. El completamente chico hay gente que se queda de esto, pero esa es la idea, tampoco se pueden grabar patrones ni nada por el estilo y creo que esto es lo que mas me gusta, esto es solo perillas y salidas a voltajes, y siempre es algo diferente el resultado. Me gusto mucho, hecho quiero comprarme otro.

Some lack of function

for 90 € is not bad, but i would have it as a 3rd sequencer, when the midi clock is receive by USB, the midi out is not working properly for example. i would go for the sq-64 instead.

Solid, basic, and cheap.

Very good step sequencer. You get what you spect, the building is really solid. A comfortable and easy to use sequencer.

What an amazing sequencer!

This is really a great first sequencer to have if you are doing either modular or just joining it with a semi-modular synth like the Korg MS-20. It can really keep the fun going!

Does the trick

If you want a very simple step sequencer this is a good choice. Works with my CV-capable analog synths (Behringer D, Arp Odyssey, etc.) and it's easy to sync to MIDI Clock from Logic. Only wish you could have 16 steps for both sequence A and B. If you want more possibilities maybe the BeatStep Pro is better but I like having more limited options that aren't so complicated and this box also takes up virtually zero space on my desktop.

bang for bucks

good product for its purpose. definetly more mechanical than musical. serves specific needs

A true weapon but has some shortfalls

This was my first sequencer and boy was it fun to tell the MS-20 what to do. It didn't take long to understand the features at all after reading the manual.

Pros:

Very quick to get a tangible sequence going and can simply be linked in a chain and clocked to other hardware.

Power by 9V battery or USB-B.

Cons:

Quite small

No memory so you best record the audio.

Fixed velocity.

The pitch knobs have no reference point which makes it very difficult to set exact pitch for the notes but you can define the scale to keep the notes within the realm of sense. If dissonance is what you want then this might not be a con for you.

When connected to Ableton, I couldn't get it to set to any midi channel but channel 1. Not impossible to work around but still annoying.

Other than that I've heard Korg almost don't profit off of these so fair play to them

Great little sequencer in compact unit
