I was a bit hesitant about this. I wanted something that could send CVs and had lots of performance options but don't like menu diving. Although there's a bit of an initial learning curve (a couple of hours maybe) it is actually pretty straightforward to use and very flexible. Very happy with it. Really nicely made and good for the money.

Utilisé avec du modulaire et des semi modulaire. Rien à dire. Une fois le Workflow assimilé, c'est que du bonheur surtout avec la MAJ 2.0 qui apporte de l'aléatoire (En autre ...)

This is an impressive piece of hardware, however I decided to use software instead because I have more options readily available and easily changed or configured.

Crashes often, buggy os, feels like an unfinished product. Pattern play back is wonky. One of my encoders is seizing up as well.A disappointing purchase that has been discontinued for a reason

Il distributore italiano (Algam Eko) non accetta la registrazione del prodotto e quindi non accetta la garanzia.??

I love the quirkiness of Korg products and wanted so much to like this sequencer. It's built really well, rock solid materials and easy to use, but it's not a replacement for the Arturia gear, so I'm keeping my Arturia Keystep pro, it's much better for sequencing, random settings and just general ability to create music on, connects to everything and is expensive, but worth every cent...still like the Korgs compactness however, just not for me.

So far I've had fun with this thing... syncing to its clock as been a little weird at times. Also, the mod section can be a little unpredictable but for the most part has worked pretty well. Given the price, its not a bad option for a sequencer. Would like to see Korg support this product a bit more tho. It seems they've all but abandoned this thing.Update: the new firmware version 2.0 has fixed the vast majority of bugs with this thing. It looks like it hasn't been forgotten by Korg after all. For the money, there's really no other hardware sequencer that does what the sq64 can do.

I bought this to drive my modular rig. But I'm sending it back. This is probably no one's dream sequencer.I have 2 Korg SQ-1s which perform great. The SQ-1 isn't perfect, but it is direct and versatile. Maybe I should have just bought 2 more. I'm joking.The SQ-64 inherited none of the SQ-1's directness. Modes modes modes. The SQ-64 has too many modes. Especially considering it has so many knobs and buttons. Speaking of buttons, the LEDs are too dim when powered by USB, and there's light leakage between them, making it unclear which are lit.It came with 1.0 software so I updated to 1.1. (What a puzzle!) Then a few days later Korg released 2.0. (Another upgrade puzzle.) Too little too late. What's with the arpeggiator? Korg should know what an arpeggiator is. It's not this. And the isomorphic keyboard should be a wonderful thing, but keyboard mode seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the sequencer.

This sequencer is designed for use with modular synths. It has multiple cv/gate outs on the back and is literally geared from start to finish to control modular synths and drums.The guy who bought it for DAW usage and left a “practically unusable” diatribe, did zero research before throwing money at a product. This is not a DAW/clip launcher, nor was it ever advertised as such. Pure comedy.

Secuenciador ideal para CV. Comprado a un precio muy, muy bueno.Hay mucha review de este secuenciador, sobre todo negativas, pero sinceramente tras usarlo unos días no comparto algunas cosas que se dicen de él.Además encaja de mil maravillas con los otros secuenciadores que tengo (Keystep 37, el del Crave y el del Volca Modular) porque lo que no hace uno, lo hace el otro. Éste es por supuesto el más completo de los que he nombrado.No he podido aún conectarlo al Keysetp por midi, sólo el cable de sincronización, pero el modo teclado es más usable de lo que parece. Tampoco he usado de momento el modo polifónico (mis sintes son analógicos monofónicos, un día de estos tendré que enchufarlo al ordenador o a la Raspberry) ni la pista D de percusión. Edito: ya he usado la pista de percusión para mandar triggers a los sintes y disparar envolventes o modular cosas. Puedes elegir entre V-Trigger y S-Trigger de 5 y 10 V. Si no tienes intención de usar una caja de ritmos o sampler, es una buena aplicación para la pista DSobre las cosas que se suelen comentar en las reviews:- Tamaño compacto, ideal para mi mesa. Otras opciones no me hubiesen cabido- No tener un botón por paso como otros ha resultado no ser ningún problema. Y lo que sí que es una gran ventaja es poder ver los 64 pasos a la vez. Sin duda lo prefiero- No es tan difícil diferenciar qué botones están activos y cuáles no como se dice, incluso con una fuente de alimentación de sólo 500 mA que me fabriqué para los Volca. Al principio sí llama la un poco la atención, acostumbrado al Crave, pero no es para tanto. Edito: sí me he liado alguna vez con el muteo de alguna pista, pero también hay que tener en cuenta mi vista y la fuente de alimentación que estoy usando. Probaré a cambiar la fuente.- Sí es una pena que no tenga modo arpegio real (que cubro con el Keystep y el Crave) pero se te olvida pronto en cuanto empiezas a manejar el resto de posibilidades. Muy potente. Edito: el modo loop es fantástico y te permite además más variaciones de velocidad, el único pero es que se aplica a las 4 pistas simultáneamente.- Algunos valores por defecto (por ejemplo el voltaje de la salida de modulación) son extremos, pero suele haber controles globales además de los individuales para suavizarlos a la vez. Para trasponer secuencias sucede algo parecido. Pensé que en ese sentido sería más incómodo.- Me gusta la grabación en tiempo real no cuantizada (como en el KSP 37). En el SQ64 es aún más intuitiva y mejor en mi opiniónNo he probado el modo control ni he conectado nada por midi hasta que me fabrique los cables (no pienso pagar lo que piden por los adaptadores a TRS).En resumen,Sin haber usado el BSP, creo que este secuenciador está infravalorado (además me ha valido 2/3 el precio que éste). Si sabes lo que hace y lo que no, y encaja en tu equipo y tu forma de trabajo, me parece una opción muy buena.Creo que para conseguir algo más completo hay que irse a más del doble de precio.Contento con la compra

This is the best small form factor sequencer I've used, it's perfect for sequencing my eurorack modular rig. The 3 voices and 8 drums are great for performances and basic song composition. Unless you prefer something with a keyboard or pads, this is a great tool. I find that roughing out a song in this is significantly faster than using ableton, though it does take a few hours to learn.Excellent:- Fairly intuitive controls, a few more labels would be nice.- 64 step sequencer, with the ability to play tracks at different rates (1/2, 1/4, 1/8. 1/16th speed)- 3x CV/gate/mod channels- 8x gate outputs- 8x bonus midi only "drum" outputs- 2x midi outputs in TRS format- all channels have configurable midi: input channel, output channel, and port- drum channels have a configurable midi output noteNo big deal:- Wish the output jacks were upwards facing, seems more modular friendly for quick patching - the SQ-8 has upwards facing jacks, but also much more bulky.- Was not able to figure out how to use this as a midi input device, like: Midi > SQ-64 > USB > PCComplaints:- Several shift modes are not labeled, like chain mode (song sequencer) (Shift + Pattern), is easy to forget.- Mod values (and sometimes notes) are slow to input, it takes a long time to select a value, moving the default mod value from 127 to 0 takes many turns of the value encoder - it would be nice if there was some sort of acceleration -or- have a knob that moves 8 ticks per click in addition to the regular 1 tick per click knob.
