Reliq Hybrid Sequencer + Matrix Mixer

Reliq Instruments Reliq

Make room for the Reliq, a MIDI and CV sequencer that gives creativity the space it deserves and keeps you whole studio locked in. Measuring at about 16"x16", this monster of a device is easy to navigate, comfortable to play on, and gives you a ton of options for composing. Connect to all manner of MIDI and CV devices using the three MIDI outputs and the 32 available CV outputs that come on the included breakout module. The breakout module not only gives you easy patchability to Eurorack systems, but also unlocks one of the core features of the Reliq: its audio matrix virtual patchbay. Using the 16 channels with, mono ins and outs for each, you can route any input to any output, save the setting, and change it on the fly instantly. Save 128 routings per project and even sequence the change—perfect for live performance or to quickly set up your studio.

In the box, you have a plethora of options to play with starting with the robust 16 track sequencer that gives you eight voice polyphony per track and the option to program up to 32,000 steps per pattern. Save each track's pattern in a clip for easy recall and performance. Play live or record what you play with the Keys section that turns your grid into a playable layout that can be isometric, chord-based, or a 16x16 drum pad layout. When using the drum layout, each "pad" is actually a 4x4 x/y layout where you can assign the X/Y axes to be modifiers for the sound. By default Y is set to velocity and X is set to a beat repeat.

Modulation is provided by the LFO and Envelope section, which gives you access to 16 of each. Easily assign the destination to be internal—on the probability, pitch, or velocity—or external by sending it to a CV output or MIDI CC. Finally, a deep DAW integration tab lets you visualize your Ableton or Bitwig session directly on the device, freeing you from being tethered to your screen. There's so much to explore with the Reliq that you can easily integrate it into your studio now and rest easy knowing it will grow with you in the years to come.
