Nothing sounded more futuristic than the 70s. The future was so much more exciting back then.

That's wild. I had no idea how much the SQ-1 inherited from an older machine. The SQ-1 is such a useful little tool, even with more advanced sequencers I wouldn't get rid of it.

A tip: try to find an MS50 expander to complete your MS set-up: you'll get another VCO, a S/H, a ring mod, lots of patch points and a volt-VU meter to top it all. Sadly, not easy to find now at a reasonable price but definitely worth a try. And there is a lot of complementary modules (MS-01 to 04), CV/gate interface, signal processor, foot controller and modulation pedal which create a very moog like ecosystem, rival at that time if the Roland system 100 one. Had to sell my system 100 in 1985 but I kept all my korgaphernalia and never regretted it!

I love how many vintage sci-fi “computer” and “radio” noises you made in the course of this demo!

this is the perfect sequencer for old techno, dang what a sound!

Dude another great video , you never let us down with content , thanks for the time and effort you put in , I’ll hopefully be getting to the museum soon when I have available time , I’m 2 hours drive from the museum, best of luck with the future of the channel and the museum, best of luck Sam 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

I like how you can change the speed with the third channel. That way you can trigger quite bizarre swing rhythms with this sequencer.

I sync mine up by writing in s trig pulses into my MPC60 using a Kenton. You can add swing to the sequences.

Dude these things were so whacked out, I remember reading about it when I got my hands on a ms20 midi controller years ago and in the manual they talked about this and the sq and the ms10 and basically said how whacky they are, for serious! I know about your love affair with ms10 I'm starting to get it, when I use my ms20 clone I'm mostly using just one oscillator anyway, but I do use that external signal processor all the time, I do want an actual korg tho I'm currently missing the keyboard and really want to use it my live setup, but listen to me praddle on, great video I'll get to the museum one day, each day we get closer to me visiting Europe again and you can be sure the museum is on my list of places to go. Cheers!

I use the SQ10 with my other sequencers and I love it. By the way, I find it very useful 😉It's big and clunky can't perform functions like modern sequencers. In combination with other MS synthesizers such as the MS20 and MS50 it actually delivers very interesting results.

Funky sounds, like 70s sci-fi!

All very logan's run!!!

A blast from the past.

Super. In 1979 as a spotty 16 year old, I used to frequent Peter Bonner Musical in Eastbourne. They had one of these but had no idea how to use it, so Mr. Nerd spent hours learning on their dollar. They got a decent demo and I did buy a DX7 from them four years later ! Bonners are still trading.

Its funny how the sounds are still relevant in music in 2022!

A strong Terminator feeling. (edit) then radiophonic workshop / dr. who

Just got an MS-50. If I can get my butt up to you some time I'll bring it to connect to this sibling.

From the comments it seems other people thought this, but really reminds me of incidental music from 70s Dr Who

Man, its definitely not useless! I use the old Roland MC4 to run my entire system!!! These things can be very useful in modern production!

12 steps actually makes more sense than 8, I think, especially if you can reset at 8 (or wherever) --> That way you can play either binary or ternary rhythms easily.

I see how they made the R2D2 voice now lol. very cool!

Thats got some handy cv controls

Just see the word “odd” and instantly liked 😂.

Great video, now I'm inspired to play around with my Oberkorn 3 sequencer.

Love it! I have a Paia 4700 10 step sequencer that is a lot simpler but has trig outs on every step, single shot, and external speed. I like to use it in single shot mode triggered by the gate for attack transients, like sending it to the filter, pitch, or a vca.

sounds good :)

So that's how they did the "speech" for The Clangers 😀

You can patch the SQ10 to the 'CV In' of the MS10/20/50 to make it play notes as well. I'd not tried patching to 'Freq' jack before, as done here, but that sequences frequency modulation on the current pitch of the MS10. You could patch the A sequence to CV In and the B sequence to Freq. Just saying, I expect you know that Sam. Great to see your vintage Korg love!

12 steps? That's one more than eleven. It's one step more isn't it?

12-steps... based on a counter IC, rather than individual shift registers, so difficult to implement a skip function (see the arp 16xx sequencer for a workaround). I think the chip was also used in tv tuners.

That sounds so much like clown world by Doomgardener 😎🤘 great video again. May have to go to Patreon and get those noises .

Sounds like you e recreated the music for the American tv show hosted by Rod Serling, “Night Gallery.” Love the sounds! It’s a nice old sequencer. I’d love to see the schematic!

I endorse this type of content

Is there anything available today which has that lovely analogue pitch drift which gave the SQ10 so much character?

Sounds like the beginning of Van Halens "Why can't this be love"

Great vid!

Perfect!

Lovely sequencer ... all sorts of squelchy stuff. Wish I hadn't sold mine :/

Just think what Delia could have done with a sequencer and synth like this ! Would you consider naming the Synth area at the Museum as Room 13 in her honor ? Thanks mate. you're doing it right !

I was expecting Robbie the Robot to make an appearance at one point :)

Early Dopplereffekt and Drexciya

😮 i have One KORG MS 10 original that os fine to Control them?😮

You Rock

sigh.. every time i see this thing i think why didnt we get a reset on the dfam

Just.... weird. Gloriously so. 😊

"It's useless, but fun." What other kind of fun is there?

I still regret i sold mine. Well, at least i still have my MS20.

Whats the third row of knobs for ?

I would say it is versatile, I had a software version on a Nintendo game thingy

The choice for 12 steps... a bit weird. I must say, style-wise the design goes well with the MS-20, I wonder if the two where conceived as a total system (like what Yamaha had in the 80's where the DX7 was the centerpiece of a system that could be expanded with the KX-88, TX816 and the QX1 sequencer).

How to make rydeen of ymo in this sequencer?

Awesome! I wish I had both of those.

The Bjooks Patching with Korg shows zero patches with the sq10. Are you reading this Bjooks. Fix it and send me a updated book. 😎

A 12 step program, in other words.

Getting John Carpenter vibes off that.

Seems a bit like the DFAM sequencer.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8WjdKtjtq3TpHk.html Liaisons Dangereuses used the 12 steps to make this killer track.thank you korg.

Play a daf song

I am only missing the MS50 from the MS series.... Still looking for an affordable one to complete my set... 🤣
