Description
Essential Information About the Behringer BQ-10 Sequencer
Analog Eurorack Sequencer inspired by the legendary SQ-10, faithful to the tactile workflow of the 70s
Up to 24 complementary steps: 16 pitch steps + 8 steps dedicated to modulation for evolving textures
Full CV/Gate control, 8 independent playback modes per channel (A and B): Alternating, Parallel, Series, Random...
Built-in MIDI with channel selection and transport controls for perfect integration in hybrid studios
An Analog Heritage Updated for Today
The Behringer BQ-10 captures the spirit of iconic sequencers while opening it up to modern setups. It features the spontaneity of step-by-step sequencing, the warmth of analog control, and immediate ergonomics, enhanced by flexible clocking, extended CV/Gate management, and MIDI connectivity ready for modern environments, from modular racks to hybrid studios. This positioning makes it a natural bridge between tradition and contemporary efficiency.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for composers and live performers who prioritize , the BQ-10 excels at melodic lines, sequenced basses, and organic modulations. Its two 8-step channels or 16-step mode favor techno, electro, synthwave, and ambient patterns, while the third 8-step modulation channel controls filters, amplitude, or parameters of your modular synth. In the studio or on stage, it encourages experimentation and real-time playing.
Features and Innovations
Each channel A and B has independent playback modes (Alternating, Parallel, Series, Random, and others) to vary rhythmic and melodic paths. The per-channel Portamento allows smooth pitch transitions, and the Duty Cycle adjusts the overall gate length to shape groove articulation. The step triggers interact with the Reset input to create loops, fills, or instant cuts. Synchronization is highly flexible thanks to the Trigger In and the internal clock CV input, opening the door to phase shifts and advanced rhythmic effects. The 2-input sum simplifies daily patching, while the 45 front panel controls ensure immediate hands-on operation. Finally, the MIDI integration with channel selection and transport completes a smooth creative flow from modular to DAW.
