BQ-10

In the world of analog synthesis, few pieces of gear evoke as much nostalgia and creativity as the SQ-10. With its powerful 12-step sequencer, it quickly became a staple for electronic musicians, but like a lot of synths at that time, it was big and bulky. Our goal has always been to make gear, even rare ones, more accessible, which is why we’re introducing the Behringer BQ-10, a fresh take on a vintage design that pays tribute to a classic and introduces new updated features.

Take a Step and Another...

The BQ-10 is packed with features that make it both versatile and powerful. It can function as a single 16-step sequencer or split into dual 8-step sequences (Channels A and B) for added flexibility. Channel C is a separate 8-step channel where you can connect an external synth like the Behringer K-2 MKII via CV for controlling filter or amplitude. Each step features a voltage output knob as well as a dedicated trigger output allowing you to shorten sequences by connecting specific steps to the Reset input.

Expand Your Horizons!

The rotary Sequence Mode knob lets you select between 8 play modes for channels A and B while channel C can run continuously depending on the mode. By default, a sequence runs on the internal clock of the BQ-10 which can be adjusted with the Clock Generator knob that can go from 20 bpm to 500 bpm. CV inputs are also available for plugging in external voltage sources to override the internal clock. Each channel features its own portamento control for when you want each step to glide into one another or have a more staccato feel.

Eurorack Ready

Designed to handle the rigors of life on the road or in the studio, BQ-10 can easily be transferred to any standard Eurorack case for the perfect integration into your setup.

An Amazing Value

Whether you’re a modular synth veteran or a newcomer to analog sequencing, BQ-10 promises to inspire creativity and bring the timeless charm of vintage sequencing into your music—all at a price point that welcomes everyone.  Get one from your local Behringer dealer today!
