A 3-channel
analog sequencer.
The SQ-10 holds 12
steps on 3 separate channels, and is limited to one
pattern. Each
control voltage is selected with a
knob and must be
tuned individually.
Channels A and B are usually used to control
oscillators, while channel C controls a
VCF or
VCA to set the
note length. The
sequences can be
synced to the
wide range Voltage Controlled
Clock or an external clock
source. Manual sync can be done via the step
button.
It is possible to use the SQ-10 as a 12-stage
envelope generator, with
ramping by adjusting the
portamento. It can also be turned into an
arpeggiator by modulating the
pitch with one of the channels.
Like the
MS-10 and
MS-20 models, the SQ-10 uses a Hz-to-voltage
interface instead of the volt/octave
standard. However, with a CV/Gate converter it is possible to control other
synths with the sequencer.
