Korg SQ-64

It is not a cheap toy, but the features go ok for that price. Solid case, the knobs could be more user friendly, also the lighting of the knobs, where you cannot tell from time to time if they are lit or not. The knobs are quite on the 'hard push' side, rubber made.

All in all the device is a great add, although the arpeggiator is not what you'd expect. Maybe in future firmware updates an improvement may be released.

Otherwise the handling is intuitive, but I would recommend to look for video tutorials on the web because the manual is quite modest regarding information on how to get the sequencer working in depht..

A modern hardware sequencer though. Recommended.

It’s a great sequencer if you want to write drum patterns and basic melodies, in the other hand, if you have a midi controller and connect it to the SQ-64 beware that you can only record one modulation per track, and that includes velocity… unfortunately for me that is a deal breaker, either sustain or velocity makes the whole playing keyboard and recording it to the SQ-64 far too limiting.
Other than that is a high quality product, sturdy, lots of functions, and comes with a lot of software.
One last thing I wish it came with the power adapter since the lights don’t light up that much only with the USB connection and beware that the midi cables are TYPE A.
