The SQ-1 is a simple step sequencer, released by Korg in 2015. As you can see, this is a simple black box. The most prominent feature on this device is what I call the MAIN KNOB, which is this big black knob on the left-hand side.

How do I connect the SQ-1 with the ms-20m?

KORG announces new products at Winter NAMM 2015! Q: How do I connect the SQ-1 with the MS-20M? The MS-20M has two types of TRIG IN jacks, when connecting with the SQ1 you should connect the TRIG IN +5V~+15V jack as when using the SQ-1’s factory settings.

How do I adjust the CV a range on my SQ-1?

• While holding down the SQ-1’s FUNCTION button, press the 8V (Hz/V) button of the CV A RANGE setting for channel A, making the button light. 3) Set the SQ-1’s GATE OUT polarity from positive (factory preset) to “-” (negative).

What is the output of the SQ-1’s sync Jacks?

The manual for the SQ-1 was kind of helpful – it says that the output of the Sync jacks is a 15ms, 5VDC blip. My headphone jack isn’t likely to produce 5VDC, but I thought I could get a 15ms blip.
