Features
The SQUID is a standalone multitrack sequencer that can connect
various music production equipment and produce phrases
successively.
Phrases can be sequenced quickly using the step parameter controls
which work independently for each parameter and the sequence
functions such as HARMONIZER and INTERPOLATION.
Get new inspirations and phrases constantly by adding different
arrangements to the sequence and experimenting with the user
interface using numerous arrangement functions such as RUNNING
DIRECTION, GROOVE BEND and SPEED MODULATION.
This inspiring and expressive musical tool is compatible with many
types of music production systems. It features terminals for USB and
MIDI as well as CV/GATE OUT and DIN SYNC—which can control
not only modular synthesizers but also vintage electronic musical
instruments.
