Serving as the heartbeat of your studio and live setup, the SQUID is optimized for effortless creation of musical phrases on-the-fly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SQUID sequencer offers a multitude of advanced performance features. Start by creating sequence patterns with the 16 velocity-sensitive multicolored LED pads. Use Interpolation to arrange phrases by setting the pitch, gate, and velocity for the beginning, middle, and end of the steps, and SQUID will automatically supplement the parameters for the steps in between. Looking to add inspirational chords? Check out Harmonizer, which allows you to pick the root note and create up to six chord progressions to intuitively create evolving phases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse the phrase arrangement segment for rearranging sequence patterns in real-time. The speed modulation can periodically increase or decrease the playback speed of a sequence to create unique grooves. Or, change the running direction of the sequence with up to 48 different playback directions. Additionally, the Groove Bend function allows you to change the trigger timing in real-time using the onboard slider. Another advanced feature, Time Warp, allows you to capture ideas in a track or a performance without the stress of practicing and recording multiple takes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SQUID offers control over 16 tracks with each track hosting 64 patterns. Each pattern can be up to 64 steps with eight-note polyphony per step. The rear panel offers MIDI in\/out\/thru, out 2, USB, two sets of CV\/gate outputs, analog clock I\/O, and DIN Sync 24 I\/O. The dedicated SQUID Manager app (Mac\/Windows) allows you to easily import and export sequence patterns and back up projects. The Pioneer DJ Toraiz SQUID ships with an AC adapter and a power cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep Edit Section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntuitively Create Sequence Patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate phrases by tapping the 16 multicolored LED rubber pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet step parameters and play in real-time as if the pads were keys on a keyboard.
