Full Description

Fuel your creative drive

Although it may be small, it is mighty! The SQ-64 will continually fuel your creative drive, allowing you to achieve the best results possible. With this in your set-up you'll be able to control and connect all of your favourite analog and digital gear from one convenient place. The sequencer guarantees that the most complex of performances will feel effortless.

Each melody and drum track comes complete with 16 patterns and 64 steps. These can be played, connected and manipulated until your heart's content. Melody tracks can be adjusted via gate, pitch and modulation modes, whilst drums tracks can be fine-tuned to complement the unique polarity and voltage of your external devices. The handy sync in and out connection points allows you to easily integrate your favourite Korg units for stress-free performances.

Make your music move

Instantly bring ideas to life thanks to the powerful arpeggiator. This is fantastic for providing instant inspiration when you're stuck in a creative rut. The inclusion of four playback modes ensures there's never a dull moment when it comes to writing. You'll be free to switch between "Reverse", "Bounce", "Random" and "Stochastic" whilst performing to add interest and wonder to your sound.

An absolute joy to play

Using the SQ-64 will be an absolute joy thanks to the inclusion of 64 backlit LED button pads. These guarantee a comprehensive overview of your device, providing instantaneous editing possibilities that will both enhance and speed up your workflow. Thanks to variable lighting you'll be able to see the exact amount of modulation that is present on each step.

Who said the SQ-64 is just for sequencing?

Not us! It can also be used as an on-the-go editor and keyboard. The 64 pad matrix provides an incredible level of flexibility as up to several scales can be easily configured to the pads as well as a wide range of parameters. Keys provides you with a generic piano layout, making performances feel wholly natural. The symmetrical nature of Isomorphic makes it perfect for chord transposition, without having to change shape. Octaves is also handy for displaying one scale in three different octaves on every row. These are excellent for simplifying the performance process.
