Korg SQ-1 sequences longer than 16 notes

Utilize the Chan A and Chan B outputs together to make sequences up to 56 steps long

For those of you who struggled with the shakiness of the video, my apologies. Yes, the tripod broke as I set up, so it was either hold the iPhone by hand (with manual focus), or don’t make the video. I have since obtained a new tripod, so this issue will go away. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and enjoy making music!

What a guy this is awesome and very informative. Very glad I found you.

Thanks for this video! Looking forward to play with my SQ1 when it arrives tomorrow. Really helpful.

Reaaaly cool! Can't wait to try it out

I just learned something valuable. Thanks!

Hey, Mike. Just wanted to send you a message of thanks for your two very helpful videos on the SQ-1. Using math that I always thought was rather useless has been eye opening for me. Glad I paid attention in class, lol. Understanding how much sequencers rely on these principles has increased my love for music making that much more. Hope this message finds you well, all the best. Thanks again.

This is really valuable info! Thanks!

love this kind of cv cleverness

[@ludwigkopp8130]

Great idea. Very inventive!

mind just got blown. thanks a lot:)

Thank you Mike! What an awesome informative video. I dun gert smerter!!

I use it on the Neutron summing and is so much fun, thanx

i thought this may interest you :- Power on the SQ1 while holding the [Play/Stop] Button puts you into Global Param Settings Mode , moving the Sequencer Mode Knob and Selecting the Small Up/Down Zigzag changes sequencer resolution to Quarter Notes , the long Z changes it to Eighth Notes and back N forth one sets it to sixteenth notes , (select choice the press power button to save, and sq1 will reboot with new settings)

very nice! Thanks!

"... By ADDING the CVA and CVB signals from the SQ-1 in the VCO, you will be able to take advantage of Channel A and Channel B sequences of different lengths...." You actually mean "MIXING the CVA and CVB signals". Therefore, even if your VCO doesn't have more than 1V/Oct inputs, you can simply add a Linear (CV) Mixer in between (well, most mixers nowadays can sum both linear or exponential signals). This clarification is needed, to prevent users from using MULTs to connect 2 outputs to an input, which is never a good idea. Super-Like this extra-cool find.

Very cool.

[@PsytoxKoma]

brilliant!

Were manual writers on strike when Korg put out the SQ-1? lol! What a rabbit hole you've discovered.
