ALM Busy Circuits ASQ-1
ALM's ASQ-1 is a simple, intuitive, and performable Eurorack sequencer and quantizer that is designed to get ideas flowing quickly—inspired by the classic Roland SH-101. Centered around a satisfying set of mechanical keys, the ASQ-1 has three modes of operation. The first is a two-channel SH-101-style step sequencer where you play the notes you want, program rests, holds, and even slides. The second is a quantizer mode which turns the keys into a note selector and has CV in with quantized CV out. A third, four-channel trigger sequencer mode is included that lets you program the four trigger outs with the illuminated keys. All modes are available simultaneously.
You can easily adjust the clock divisions and length of all the sequencers by 8 or you can create interesting polyrhythms by adding steps that aren't divisible evenly. Able to adjust notes over several octaves, the ASQ-1 is deep, by not confusing; complex, while still being intuitive. ALM Busy Circuits delivers and designs modules that work beautifully—the ASQ-1 is no exception.
