The Korg SQ1 is an old school style sequencer that is cool as hell and really easy to figure out. I had not really had it or played around with it for long before I recorded this jam. I think I love this little box. It's simple, rock solid, battery powered and a load of fun. I took to it almost immediately. I will probably do a review on it once I've had more time with it.

As always, this will sound a lot better through decent headphones or speakers.

The SQ1 sequenced my Yamaha Reface CS which was played through the EHX Canyon Delay. The delay pedal had its feedback and mix level raised throughout the entire piece, plus the modulation on the reface was raised steadily along the way. The 2 effects play so well together, creating a wall of almost self modulating sound. The sound builds and little, random quirks can be heard.

Drums were handled by the Novation Circuit with the clock being set by the SQ1, sent via midi.

Valhalla room reverb was present across the entire piece.

Any questions or comments, please go ahead below. I love talking about this stuff and am usually very responsive.

If you enjoy this piece, please consider a thumbs up/like and maybe even a sub! I have plenty of cheap gear reviews and a bunch of music on my channel, with a lot more to come, so feel free to look around.

Cheers.
