General

Korg's MS-20 uses the Hz/V system instead of the more common V/oct system, in order to ensure a more stable tone. On the downside, though, that means the synth is incompatible with a large number of step sequencers. Fortunately, Korg has come up with an excellent solution to that problem by introducing the SQ-1, a step sequencer that can work with both systems. It's even possible to adjust the output voltage of the CV and the polarity of the Gate! The SQ-1 features two CV/Gate outputs, as well as a littleBits output that allows you to connect it to Korg littleBits products. This step sequencer may be small, but it's certainly comprehensive.

Korg SQ-1: 8-Step Sequencer

Korg's SQ-1 sequencer offers two 8-step sequencer channels that can be used consecutively, basically providing you with a 16-step sequencer. It's also possible to use them in different modes, like random step playback, for instance. You can even let the two channels control different parameters - they run in parallel - creating complex lines. Alternatively, it's possible to play the SQ-1 like an instrument and operate each step manually. Other interesting features of the Korg sequencer include the Active Step mode, which allows you to skip steps half-way through a sequence, and the Step Jump mode, which enables you to play single steps by pressing them, creating irregular rhythms and loop-like effects.

Additional Features

Naturally, a 21st-century step sequencer such as this boasts a number of additional nifty features. Thanks to the inclusion of a USB port, you can use the SQ-1 to control your preferred DAW. A MIDI output is also present. Even though this protocol dates back to the 1980s, it's still often used, especially in live settings. The SQ-1 comes with a practical adapter cable that converts the sequencer's mini-jack output into the familiar DIN format.
