    I’d been away from my SQ-64 for a while fiddling with other music devices and needed a refresher on using it. Bar none, you still have the best tutorial out there on the SQ-64 and you’ve always been kind in answering my questions. Thank You.

    So good. Been really wanting to see the creative process in action on the SQ. Nice job.
  • Just bought one for the sale price too, waiting on it to arrive, gonna use with my sp404 mk2
  • Just bought mine today! Couldn’t believe the price! Free shipping too, direct from Korg!
  • @e.l978
    Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's really helpful !
  • @SvenFx-22
    Very informative video. I wished there were a video this clear on the oxi one sequencer. All the videos gloss over everything and don’t show how to use. If you ever get an oxi one I would love an in-depth video like this
  • @gru_day
    130USD😢 It hurts so much. Great update. For the money it is nobrainer. Korg did it right.
  • @docdeens4030
    Damn, I finally found someone explaining how to use this thing
  • @delmeteor717
    Great video. Loved the final tune. Just to be sure I understand, does the drum machine have eight separate jacks to connect the sounds to the eight sync jacks on the SQ-64?
  • @petercane6376
    Just loved the jam at the end. Your all girl backing vocals back to the 50s. Just love it……..you looked too serious at first to sing like that. Korg will love you. Did they sort out the quantisation?

    Great tutorial Erik! I've owned the sq for a couple months now and I was still a bit confused about some functions which you just cleared out so thank you! Quick question, have you tried recording over patterns while they are chained together? And btw, what kind of stand is that you have your sq on? Cheers
  • @mrfeenix1
    Hi Erik thanks for the video.... When it comes to Chaining Patterns does it chain the Global patterns on all 4 lanes as one? Thanks
  • @frothweasel
    I have mine plugged in the same way but I cannot hear the notes being played from the synth, with the sq-64 keyboard or my keystep. Can you help with specific settings on the SQ-64?
  • Erik Hawk would this have been easier on Modular or Semi-Modular Synths or pitch-gate-cv-kbrd synths?
  • realtime quantize works. put it on 1/1 step notes gets straight to the grid. the other values puts the notes closer to the subdivision you choose 1/8 and so on !! great sequencer I love it
  • @mekanious
    Thanks for this video. Is the pattern chaining mode long enough to create a full length song, like 3-4 minutes? I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

    I have a question: The Midi in /out of the SQ-64 are connected to my master keyboard, I dont yet have any modules, but I have a Korg OpSix synthesizer. It has midi in/out connections and a USB port to connect to a computer. In lieu of having any of the smaller compact synth modules that come ready with outputs to the SQ-64, Is there a way of connecting the Korg OpSix to the SQ-64 to get it to function as an additional sound module along with the master keyboard? Additionally how do I update the Firmware?
