Compact Control for Your Synths!

A modern version of the famed SQ-10 step sequencer, the Korg SQ-1 puts 2 x 8 steps, a large selection of I/O, and a variety of synthesizer modes into a convenient, compact package. Although designed as a companion for Korg's MS-20 semi-modular synth, the SQ-1's flexibility lets you control everything from vintage analog synths to the newest compact synthesizers. On top of that, the durable SQ-1 will hold up gig after gig, thanks to its sturdy metal construction. The synth-tweakers here at Sweetwater are stoked by how the SQ-1 frees them from the numerically-bound parameter editing that's typical in their DAWs. Take it from us, the Korg SQ-1 step sequencer will liberate your inspiration!

Of all the gear I have bought, the Korg SQ-1 has been one of the toughest, most reliable, and useful.

Yes, if you want precise tunings, you will need a tuner, but half the fun is twirling knobs and hearing what comes out. A sequence might not work in Major, so you can switch to Minor, or you might need to constrict the octaves for something to click.

It allows you to perform the sequence in a linear fashion, a zig-zag pattern, a ping-ping pattern, or a random pattern. You can select which step to begin from, and you can turn steps on and off and even use glide.

I use it with iPad sequencers to send CV to semi-modular synths lacking a proper midi input, and it works perfectly.

This thing had been knocked off the table and hit the concrete at least three times, and it just continues to work.

It is so beloved, I named mine after my late, great little terrier "Ole Rusty." I would have never bestowed such an honored name on a piece of gear unless that gear was worthy.

Buy one. You won't regret it.

i needed a simple fast sequencer that can program on the fly as i perform - this does it perfect - my synth sequencer was too simple AND complicated, keyboard sequencer was waaaaay complicated and not user friendly - the SQ-1 has all controls on the face, no menu diving or multiple button combos, it looks simplistic but it is not with many ways to use that the user manual doesnt get into - i find it perfect for live performance

It's a good sequencer! Enough said! Works really well with my synth and came with all the gear it needs, minus a midi cable.

Super easy to use. I hooked it up to my Korg vocals and had a great time with it. I own 2 of them now. So easy my 12 year old figured it out in 10 minutes and was making some nice groovy music on it. If you are considering getting it go ahead. Get it! Its a wonderful all metal construction. Knobs are solid. The lights are bright enough in the pot switches and buttons. I really enjoy this little unit!

This is a fun and easy to use sequencer. I was jamming with it in the first 30 minutes.
