Pioneer DJ Toraiz Squid Sequencer Jam 🦑

Published on Jul 19, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Squid is a powerful sequencer that can be the center of your setup sequencing up to 16 tracks. It has lots of connectivity with multiple midi ports two channels of CV/gate and analog clock as well as din sync. The sequencer tracks are easy to program in real time or step sequencer style and can have independent lengths and running directions. The Squid can go much deeper than just note and gate sequencing with time modulated sequences and CC controls over synthesizer parameters.

Toraiz Squid: Overview and Fast Guide

Published on May 13, 2019 Stochastic Design

"In this video, we take a look at the new Toraiz Squid MIDI/CV sequencer from Pioneer DJ and see what makes it stand out from the pack!

It is geared primarily towards creating and evolving music on the fly, but with a solid and simple transfer of MIDI files between DAW and Squid. There are a few standout features we haven't seen in hardware sequencers before, and there are more similarities to the genoQs Octopus than the name :-)

To keep the video short, a few in-depth features are omitted or briefly touched upon, but they will be included more thoroughly in a Part 2. This is all you need to start recording and manipulating your tracks! Stay tuned, and please comment below on what you would like to see in the future!"
