Behringer Classic Analog Sequencer with 24 Steps

In the world of analog synthesis, few pieces of gear evoke as much nostalgia and creativity as the SQ-10. With its powerful 12-step sequencer, it quickly became a staple for electronic musicians, but like a lot of synths at that time, it was big and bulky. Behringer's goal has always been to make gear, even rare ones, more accessible, which is why Behringer is introducing the Behringer BQ-10, a fresh take on a vintage design that pays tribute to a classic and introduces new updated features.

The BQ-10 is packed with features that make it both versatile and powerful. It can function as a single 16-step sequencer or split into dual 8-step sequences (Channels A and B) for added flexibility. Channel C is a separate 8-step channel where you can connect an external synth like the Behringer K-2 MKII via CV for controlling filter or amplitude. Each step features a voltage output knob as well as a dedicated trigger output allowing you to shorten sequences by connecting specific steps to the Reset input.
