SQ-1 as SQ-10

Chien_Jaune · Post by **Chien_Jaune** » Sun May 03, 2020 5:19 pm

Hello everyone ! First time posting here.

I'd like to know if a SQ-1 can do what a SQ-10 can do.
I am limiting myself to a strictly vintage use of my MS-20, so I don't want to create sounds/sequence that a SQ-10 can't do.

I can't offer myself a SQ-10 but I can have a SQ-1.
Maybe you guys can tell me what not to do with a SQ-1 to stay in the SQ-10 range.

I hope my english was ok !

Thank you all & greetings from France ♪

Hi,

The SQ-1 has a few things that are not immediately possible with the SQ10.
* Sequencer modes: random picking steps, configurable duty cycle per step, back and forth mode, configurable slide per step.
* Gate on/off: which is like muting a step.
* Active step: this is like skipping steps. Although it can be used to mimick the reset of the sequencer by a step trigger output by enabling the first n steps and disable the remaining ones.
* Slide on/off per step.
* The knob output for CV can be automatically adjusted for a minor, major or chromatic scale.

That's about it.

Have fun.

Oh also, the knobs on the SQ-10 can be used for pitch tuning, so we can create a melody right ?
Sorry, I'm a real newbie in this world...

Hi,

Yes, that is the main purpose of the sequencer; Creating short melody snippets.

Have fun
