Behringer BQ-10 Classic Analog Sequencer in Eurorack Format

Inspired by the legendary SQ-10, the Behringer BQ-10 brings vintage analog sequencing into a modern, Eurorack-friendly format. The original SQ-10 was beloved for its creative 12-step sequencing power but was bulky and difficult to integrate into contemporary setups. The BQ-10 reimagines that classic design with expanded functionality, flexible routing, and updated connectivitymaking a once-rare piece of equipment accessible to todays synth enthusiasts.

The BQ-10 operates as a single 16-step sequencer or dual 8-step sequencers (Channels A and B), giving you powerful pattern-building options. A third, independent 8-step channel (Channel C) provides dedicated CV control for external synth parameters such as filter or amplitude. Each step features its own voltage knob and trigger output, allowing for creative sequence shaping and the ability to shorten patterns by feeding triggers into the Reset input.

A rotary Sequence Mode selector offers eight play modes for channels A and B, including Alternating, Random, Series, and moreideal for generating unique musical variations. The internal clock ranges from 20500 BPM, with CV inputs available for syncing to external voltage sources. Each channel also includes its own portamento control for shaping smooth or staccato transitions between steps. Built for studio or stage, the BQ-10 fits into any standard Eurorack case for seamless integration.
