Rides In The Storm - QSQ

With eight CV outs, eight gate outs, and an eight-channel MIDI interface, it opens up many creative possibilities. Each track offers detailed parameter control, including CV, gate, and retrigger options, ensuring a great deal of variation and dynamic to your sequences.

Key features include adjustable swing for groove, step length and root note change for melodic variation. The QSQ supports Euclidean rhythms and various play modes like forward, reverse, and random.

Navigating the QSQ is pretty straightforward. You get access to track parameters, glide and retrigger functions, and can apply randomization and probability with ease. As new features are rolled out you can update your QSQ via USB. Sequencer galore... this thing does a lot!
