Behringer BQ-10 Analog Sequencer

Full Description

Take full control of your sequences

The BQ-10 gives you real-time, direct access to every step in your sequence. With 45 hands-on controls, you can instantly tweak pitch, gate, and timing, ideal when you’re performing live or fine-tuning your patch in the studio. Each step also offers its own trigger output, so you can route signals creatively across your setup. Whether you want short loops, shifting melodies, or complex layered movement, this sequencer puts everything within reach.

Create dynamic modulation and rhythm

Each channel features independent Portamento controls to smooth transitions between steps, and adjustable Duty cycles to control gate length. These settings make it easy to give your sequences movement and character, whether you’re programming basslines, filter automation, or rhythmic modulation. It’s an intuitive way to bring a human feel to electronic setups.

Sync seamlessly with your gear

The BQ-10 offers full CV, MIDI, and trigger connectivity, letting you integrate it effortlessly into both modern and vintage systems. Its voltage-controlled clock generator and external sync inputs ensure tight timing across your instruments. You can even divide or multiply clock signals for creative polyrhythms, great for experimental or live use.

Flexible setup, classic workflow

Modelled after the vintage SQ-10 sequencer, the BQ-10 combines classic analog workflow with modern versatility. You can mount it in a Eurorack case or use it standalone, depending on how you like to work. Its layout keeps everything visible and immediate, encouraging hands-on experimentation without menu diving. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to add classic sequencing power to their modular rig.
