Common Korg SQ-64 Questions
How do I sync the SQ-64 to my DAW (like Ableton or Logic) using MIDI?
Connect the SQ-64 to your computer via USB, then select the SQ-64 as a MIDI input and output device in your DAW's preferences. Configure your DAW to send MIDI clock to the SQ-64 to sync its tempo.
Where and how do I save my created patterns, presets, and kits on the SQ-64?
Patterns are saved within each of the 64 projects. Use the 'GLOBAL' button to access project management, then 'SAVE' to store your current settings into a chosen project slot; kits are saved with their respective patterns within a project.
I'm new to step sequencing. What's the quickest way to create a simple melody using the SQ-64?
Select a track (e.g., Melody Track A), press the 'REC' button, then press the steps you want to activate on the step buttons while also adjusting the corresponding encoder knobs above the buttons to change their pitch values.
My SQ-64 isn't sending MIDI notes to my connected synthesizer. What could be the problem?
First, ensure the correct MIDI channel is selected for the track you're using on the SQ-64, and that the synthesizer is set to receive on the same channel. Also check that MIDI output is enabled in the SQ-64's Global settings.
What is 'Probability' and how can I use it on the SQ-64 to make my sequences more interesting?
The Probability parameter, accessible via the encoder knobs when Probability is selected, determines the likelihood a step will play. Setting this below 100% introduces variation by randomly skipping certain notes on each loop.
