16 MULTICOLORED LED PADS

Instantly switch between features using the 16 multicolored pads. Linked to independent modes, they enable you to engage a range of creative features. You can activate Trigger mode to step-record patterns. Play scales and record performances with Scale mode and add nuance by varying the strength of your keystrokes.

INTERPOLATION

Interpolation helps you instantly make phrases. Set each parameter for the beginning, middle, and end of the steps and quickly assign the pitch and dynamics to bring your idea to life.

CC MODE

You can manipulate up to 5 of your external device’s CC controls. For instance, if the TORAIZ AS-1 monophonic analog synthesizer is connected on track 1, you can assign a handful of MIDI CC numbers and then step sequence them in one place.

RANDOMIZER

In need of some inspiration? Try randomly changing the parameters of a step to alter the phrase and get new ideas from there. SQUID will individually randomize the trigger On/Off, pitch, gate, velocity, and CC mode control values. In addition to the normal sporadic sounds, trigger On/Off and pitch incorporate a more musical randomization thanks to the Euclidean algorithm – perfect for when you want to quickly generate phrases.
