Tutorial: Korg SQ-64 Sequencer Workflow & Demo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2021
- The Korg SQ-64 is a swiss army knife of sequencing MIDI and CV gear, giving you a hands-on way to create music with your hardware and software. Leroy's been having a great time with it - here he demos a number of its features and how it's been fitting into his workflow, sequencing the Arturia MicroFreak, the Korg Volca Sample and a small Eurorack system featuring the Make Noise O-Coast.
We'll have some more content focusing on the SQ-64's more esoteric features in the not to distant future.

I picked one of these up simply because of the $129 price that was going on. The features you highlight make me glad I did. The video is the right length and depth. Now if they would just make it easier to distinguish the active notes from the inactive, it’d be more fun to use. There is no reason we should not be able to have inactive notes set to 0% brightness.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks! Got me started and provided lots of ideas. 👍👍
Very good tutorial, answered a lot of my questions not covered in the documentation.
Thanks for your feedback Jonathan
Thanks for that bro. Just bought one. Was looking for a hands on demo. So you nailed it. 👍
Cheers Michael, tell us what you think of it
Great tutorial 💯
Very clear explanation. Best I've seen, yet.
Thanks
Thanks for making this.
great, to the point tutorial....
Rly rly helpful! Thx a lot 🙂
Wonderful
Really great tutorial dude. Any chance you could do vid of how to upgrade to the new firmware-for dummies like me! 🙏
When a project is one track how I make a transition between them? 16 patterns are not enough for multiple tracks..
Thanks for the video. How did you manage to control the different sounds of the sample due to it's weird midi implementation? I use the RetroKits RK-002 but I don't see it here.
New to the unit and synth in general. Could you tell me what the three sets of inputs are for that have mode, pitch and gate jacks? Thanks.
Can this machine sequence unquantized performances? How off-grid can it record? What's the note resolution?
That was a great tutorial. Are the pads with no steps on them as bright as they look in the video or is that because of the camera? Makes it seem difficult to see which steps are on and which are off. I love that it has Select for the Loop feature. One of my favorite aspects of the Volcas. Was bummed when I got a TR-8S and realized its version of Active Step was just step length working backwards from the end of the pattern, instead of the way Korg does it. Does this have a Step Jump mode like in Volcas (repeating steps by holding them down)?
Unfortunately they are. I wish you could shut the light off entirely for the pads that are off. I also love the step jump in the SQ-1 and I am very much hoping that I can do a similar thing with this SQ-64. Got mine yesterday so I still have a lot of messing about to do.
how did you set up the sample to work with tje sq i can only get it to trigger the drum
Comparing the isometric keyboard to Push made way more sense than “like a bass guitar” other videos described it as
If i have 8 synths that only have 5 din Midi, no CV, can I use adapter cables to control all of them with this unit simultaneously?
Dammit, Jim, I’m a musician not a computer programmer!
Wow great 👍, I LOVE jamming with korg volcas too....
Keep on jamming 👌 🎶 positive vibes 💛❤💚🧡
does the sq64 not audition the sounds that are being selected?
Nice demo, this or beatstep pro?
Like ph911, I am trying to create songs. Has anyone worked out how to save chains?
great review. thank you!
i have problems with saving and loading, is there any more information around?
This is so important and almost always overlooked. Same with chaining. And how many projects can be saved.
I figured it out. Hit Projects then push any empty button that's not lit. Use Initial which loads it. Play something using one or all 4 tracks. To Save hit Projects but make sure you turn the selector to SAVE or you write over your song. You'll get the option to Save (left side), or Cancel (right).
Great video!
I just purchased this but this seems to only be able to play track A with an external midi keyboard when connected to my 4 volcas.
Do you have any insight on how to play each track with an external midi keyboard?
What channel is each lane listening to? And do you have Rx and Tx on for the lanes?
@@huwtraylor yeah it took some figuring out on my part but its working. Thanks for the help👍
Nice vid, mate! I notice in the beginning of the video you said "I think that's the drum", when you selected it before you entered in the steps, is there not a way to preview the sound your working with before you enter in the steps?
Yes, if you don't hold down a step you can push any of the trigger buttons and hear them, or work out a rhythm, etc. When you're ready to enter a step then hold down the step and push that trigger.
Is there software for managing projects on this device or is it limited too 64 projects with no way to move things from the device too the computer?
Currently there is no way to save to a computer, that's why I keep my Launchpad Pro mk3 :)
Thank you! Does it give you the opportunity to build an arrangement? Or just 64 steps and that's it?
There is a chain mode but I can't understand how to use it. The manual is not very helpful.
I have managed to create full 3-4 minute songs by chaining patterns together. In the pattern mode, just select what pattern comes after which in each track. Works quite okay IMHO.
Man can you tell me how to make midi work Wich kind it trs midi a need to use and what I need to change for make it work my volcas in the sequencer? I tried with nts-1 and also with volca keys and they doesn't work
Korg uses Type A, Arturia etc uses Type B. If you get Type A it should work fine, I use it with a volca fm
Can you record chords into it in realtime via the MIDI IN using an external MIDI keyboard, rather than have to use the isomorphic keyboard (or program chords in manually)?
Yes realtime recording via Midi In s possible
@@Noisegate Appreciated thanks!
great vid, I would love to see it used solely in a DAW I want to see that functionality.. please...

What is the ASIN of your midi breakout cables? I understand there are different types and not all of them will work. I have tried two different products so far with no luck.
The Make Noise 0 coast ones work. They're type A. I use two of them without any issues
Can we also use any sound of plugins/VST from Ableton and play with them in SQ64? So not using external gears at all. Just Live and SQ64. For instance making a beat and just improvise with it.... Thx
Yeah, you sure can. You can assign individual sequencer lanes on the SQ-64 to independently sequence plug-in's in your DAW
@@Noisegate would love to see a tutorial on how to set this up with an Ableton rack. Would like to be able to use the drum sequencer to trigger samples
@@ashenpall Absolutely you can. Just make sure each lane from the SQ64 is assigned to the correct MIDI channel in Live and off you go.
@@Noisegate awesome thanks! I setup a test rack yesterday in anticipation for this thing to arrive in the mail today lol
Yeah, very useful walkthrough. You covered the basics really clearly and succinctly. Just to confirm what I’ve read: the sq-64 gives you only one modulation lane per melodic track, right? So if you’re on MIDI mode you can automate only one CC...? The melodic tracks store pitch and gate, I guess. Do they also store velocity (So that I don’t need to use the modulation lane to sequence velocity changes)? I’m thinking having only one CC automation lane per track is too little.
Would like to know too. Was just looking at Cirklon 2 which is much more expensive and complex, but you can modulate/automate many parameters at the same time.
Cirklon is a completely diferent piece of gear appart from price, i think that for big setups is the thing, but i think overkill on small setups, but a wonderful piece of gear
@@thoseonemusic I’ve decided on the Cirklon. 18+ months waiting list....
@@thoseonemusic yes, Cirklon 2 is out of the question for me. I’m one of those pauper synth enthusiasts who cannot justify paying more for a sequencer than for a good synth. A big deal of the appeal of the SQ-64 is the price. Perhaps I might be able to stretch resources/shame for an OXI One, which will be between $450 and $600. Or I might just decide for a Keystep Pro, although I don’t like the size (and don’t really need a controller keyboard)... BUT I am still hoping Korg updates this one adding a couple of things that’d make it perfect for me. I’ve heard this still has a number of firmware bugs, so updates will likely happen.
@@WxkR i think like you, i don't need the keyboard and i already have one, i personnaly like very much the korg, but there are 2 more that keep getting my attention, the black synth from erica and the nerdseq 🙂, but probably i will go on the korg
I wish you could play the keyboard while the sequencer is running but not recording.
Very helpful! How do you clear a single step?
Necesito asistencia para conectar todos los vokca al secuenciador como lo debo de hacer muchas gracias
Tengo el mismo problema, has encontrado solucion?
@@DaddyGabri23 no.
Aquí estoy experimentando.
La cosa es que nadie explica cómo cablear bien los sintes.
Así que si encuentras algo estaría encantado de que lo compartieras.
Y lo mismo pa ti si encuentro algo te lo hago saber
Where is the output, daw, mixer, don’t see any output cable?
We are using a Soundcraft 12FX mixer going into a Universal Audio Apollo X8 audio interface.
its a handy and sturdy lil sequencer but damn if it isnt a pia
I was looking into this but I’m not educated on these devices. Isn’t this the one what people keep complaining about saying korg basically abandoned fixing any of the bugs with it?
Keep an eye out for an update coming real soon
Hi. Can i record in realtime and have it quantized automatically? Thanks for your time!
Yes realtime recording and quantize is possible
@@Noisegate Thanks for your time! that is great. It was unclear that i could play my synth keyboard in loop and the timing was quantised when the loop played back. in the manual i could only find harmonic quantise to a certain key. Now i am gonna order it! (you sure write :-)
@@simpelserver A friend of mine confirmed that you cannot record live with quantization...
It's super-frustrating waiting for this to come out... KORG really needs to get better at communicating availability for new products (at least in the US). I have a modular rig that feels incomplete without an external sequencer/composition tool exactly like this, and it matches my entire rack as well. Can't wait to get it and start working on some new music in a more logical way than just messing around.
It’s out in the UK- got mine at the weekend. Bit of a learning curve- but well worth it!
@@walrtbstudios5430 That frustrates me but I am happy for you. I know I can order one from... France or something, but the shipping makes it twice the price... which isn't so nice 😂
@@xnflg3074 That’s weird, and you have my sympathy. Usually we in the UK are the last to get stuff.
It is a really superb piece of kit too, and is forcing me to reevaluate less used synths, or those that don’t do midi over usb. Life is so much more fun when you can twiddle knobs with both hands!
Can you plug in a keyboard to input pitch?
Yes
As of today does it work as initially advertised?
Hater
D-Track Midi limit no notes below C-1 ruclips.net/video/40LcpJcpptM/видео.html
Surely there are better demos out there...
"Smaller living spaces with more gear", aka spent all our money on gear instead of housing 😂
Not having any color coding between seq lanes and the thousands of pads (without velo sens!) is extremely confusing. I mean why not put rgb leds and some painted dividers in there? Red leds on full black/grey is just offputting. Also programming any modulation seems to be done solely on like 2 knobs and endless menus under one button. You're telling me to program every one of those 512 step midi CC and Velo commands on a 2x2cm lcd screen and one knob?! Im not saying Arturia BSP is perfect product but it got a LOT of things right from performance and workflow POV compared to this.
