"The SQR sequencer is our entry in the modular world. This 4-channels desktop sequencer is very adaptable: you can use it with MIDI gears or modular rigs, you can play it like a classical 16-steps sequencer or go crazy and use the probabilistic approach on top of an innovative stage behavior sequencer, you can sequence on 4 monophonic channels or easily compose a 4 voices polyphonic exotic chord, you can sync it with MIDI or an external clock signal from your modular rig or use its internal clock, to name a few.
Apart from its powerful features, the greatest strength of the SQR is its ability to help you visualize what you are doing. Its big and easy-to-read led display can show you every variations in your sequence, from individual gate lengths to pitches and octaves, from individual slide lengths to chord names or step probabilities. Everything is clear and hands-on: you have direct access to all the essentials parameters and you can visualize everything instantly.Very similar to the MTRX in design, the SQR is made from top quality components at each stage. From the beautiful enclosure to the Digital-To-Analog converter, each component has been choosen carefully to offer the best possible experience to the user. And we are very proud of the result!
First 50 units will be available by the end of August. The firsts 50 units will be selled at 499€ (incl. VAT), the next will be selled at 599€.

Specifications
16-steps with individual control of pitch, octave, gate length, gate probability, slide length and stage behavior
4x CV/Gate channels with mono- or polyphonic control (chords)
16-stages behavior sequencer: for each stage you can either play it normally or skip it, stay blocked on it for up to 16 steps, create a tril (up to 8 notes per step) or jump to any other step of your choosing
selectable shapes for the slide between two notes (exponential, linear, ...)
selectable scale for pitches and chords
selectable CV offset per channel
for each channel: loop-in/loop-out, warp mode (forward, backward, ping-pong), step duration (1/32th to 2 bars)
3x sync modes: internal (with or without MIDI clocks out), external clock (for modular rigs) and MIDI
selectable clock divider for all sync modes, both for input and output clocks
