The ASQ-1 is a multi mode Eurorack sequencer. It can simultaneously sequence two CV/GATE and four trigger patterns, as well as perform synchronised quantisation of an external CV signal. Programming of all patterns is performed using familiar classic paradigms – SH101 style step-time note entry and classic drum machine pattern editing – with satisfying mechanical computer style keys.
Pattern position, step info, length and clock division settings are communicated via the keys and LEDs. Through simple key combinations, global and performance oriented features such as mutes, transposition and saving / loading patterns are available.
ASQ-1 is designed to be a simple, immediate sequencer ideally suited to quickly jamming out ideas, having happy accidents and performing live. It is intended to be a fun and hands on alternative to the many increasingly complex hardware sequencers out there.

Release Notes
- Released Version 008
- Mode+Hold will now toggle the quantiser to apply to both sequences.
- Mode+Play+Hold+Note will 'Global' load of both sequencers and all patterns.
- Hold+Rest+Oct will halve/double pattern length and dupe existing steps.
- Fix issue with divided global pattern loads potentially going out of sync. Released Version 007
- Greatly improve cv/gate overdub mode to handle held notes etc.
- Improve note LED positions related to playback position and state.
- Better resync playback pos when pattern shortened (pattern length below current pos).
- Display firmware version and Din Sync status when booting with /Play/ held. Released Version 006
- Fix issue with trigger sequencers not dividing. Released Version 005
- Fix some wierd issues with pattern saving and corruption especially
- Improve timing accuracy of overdubed trigger input.
- Fix annoying 'Squeek' when slide is input. Released Version 004
- Added Sequence reverse and shuffle. Hold /STORE/ + oct up or down.
- Added note key led flash for last loaded/saved pattern when /PLAY/ down.
- Added support for extra +/- octave transpose. Hold either octave button
- Added Din Sync support (boot with /PLAY/ + /HOLD/ held to toggle.
- Fixed bug where sequences would not reset in sync if divider set Released Version 003
- Dont share save banks between modes. Every mode now has its own set
- 'Global' load of both Sequencers or or all 4 trig patterns by holding
- /PLAY/ + /HOLD/ toggles transposing on and off . This allows for
- Double tapping /STORE/ when in overdub will rollback any changes
- Fix potential issue where adding pressing /HOLD/ in overdub could
- /REST/ better deletes steps (and can be held) in overdub. (Sequencer mode)
- Fix potential step skip during a playing load. (Sequencer mode)
- Fix some issues with pattern length setting and browsing. (Trigger mode)
- Better sync the current playback position red LED. (Trigger mode) Released Version 002
