I found the SQ-10 being problematic, but not specifically with V/Oct gear
like MOTM.

Yes, it does work with V/Oct (What you need is a gate inverter for the Gate
signals, though), and the range switches help setting the desired
sensitivity of the knobs.
But ... IMO the SQ-10 is so badly designed from its user interface that you
will think twice before you get one. (And I am generally very fond of Korg
stuff, including the MS series, mind you.)
Want to change the sequence length - no switch - you have to re-patch the
whole thing. Do this on the fly while recording something - not.
In theory you have the advantage of individual access for each step's gate
output (and a reset input) - but keep in mind that all this is switch
trigger
as well. (MS-series users will appreciate that.)
The rotary knob that selects the different sequencing modes isn't the best
choice either. I don't remember what it was exactly - I think the currently
running sequence is always reset when the mode is changed. Or something
similar.
The SQ-10 was something I badly wanted and bought at an auction, but
which I soon sold again for less money, just to get rid of it.

All right, no flames please, it's just my personal opinion (;->)

In short: Problems yes, specific problems with V/Oct no, Gate
inverter(s) required.
