Korg have announce what is looking like a BSP killer, the SQ-64.

As a big fan of performance oriented sequencers, this thing will definitely be joining my sequencer station in my music room.

I've noticed that Korg have removed the Mini 2600 from the SQ-64 promo pic.

EDM music production tool ?

For EDM, possibly, but certainly not on its own. It will probably find more use in ambient music creation, experimental music and Tangerine Dream type stuff. Modular synth owners will probably have a ball with this.

Fixt

You can use it for that or you can maybe use it for playing backing melodies while you play a solo over the top with your lead synth. Or you can use it to help do a cover of Tubular Bells. So many things you can do with a looping pattern step sequencer with a song mode.

Fun Fact: Both the Strauss's were famous for composing dance music...

I was curious that maybe "64" stood for 64 track hardware sequencer, and 4 ports in/out.

And ability to seriously sequence outside computer. A portastudio with 32 tracks at least, and it would be done.

But not even a single din midi port is there - you have to use an adapter from 3.5mm to din midi even????
Unclear if shipped with unit.

Blähhhh....
