MOTM

> Anybody use a MOTM with a Korg SQ-10 and find any issues/problems? 

hello all,

isn't that the one that was designed for the MS series..?
so it'll be inverse gate & Hz /V then..?

cheers

Yup, the SQ-10 is designed to go with the MS-10/20/50 and they all use Hz/V but it
is just a series of knobs with no real scaling so you could probably get away with
using it since you would have to tune for every knob.  The range on the knobs might
seem a bit wacky going into a V/Oct MOTM system.  I don't believe it has any
quantization but I may be wrong.

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.
