Versatile sequencer modes The SQ-1 provides two channels (A and B) of 8-step sequencer that can operate consecutively, or be used in a variety of other modes. Compact and complete with all the functions you need, the SQ-1 is the ideal hardware sequencer. As a connector, the SQ-1 provides two CV/GATE OUT channels, the standard MIDI OUT and USB MIDI, littleBits out (to connect to the littleBits synth kit by littleBits Electronics Inc.), plus the SYNC IN/OUT channel that allows you to connect to the volca series and monotribe. This versatility will enable you to control a wide variety of other synthesizers as well. It goes without saying the V/Oct standard is also supported, and the voltage level of the CV output (.) and polarity of the GATE output can be specified as appropriate for the device you've connected.

As a descendant of the SQ-10, the SQ-1 supports the Hz/V standard, enabling it to perfectly control the MS-20 or MS-20 mini. Connect and control the MS-20 and many other types of equipment Rather than the commonly used V/Oct standard, the CV design of the MS-20 always used the Hz/V standard that provides excellent pitch stability limiting the step sequencers that are able to correctly control the MS-20. You can also switch between a variety of synthesizer modes and use the step buttons to create performances overflowing with spontaneity, just as when using a volca unit.

Vintage analog synths or the latest compact synths can be controlled from this single unit.

It's wealth of connection jacks allows it to be connected to the MS-20 and a variety of other synthesizers. The SQ-1 is a compact step sequencer with 2 x 8 steps. Now, after thirty years, the MS-20 has been reborn as the MS-20 mini, and the SQ-10 has evolved into the more modern SQ-1. When the classic MS-20 analog synthesizer appeared in 1978, it had a trusted partner in the SQ-10 step sequencer.
