ALM Busy Circuits ASQ-1

The ALM Busy Circuits ASQ-1 is a performance-focused Eurorack sequencer that blends tactile, intuitive control with deep sequencing flexibility. Inspired by classic hardware like the SH-101, it features two 128-step CV/Gate sequencers, four 64-step trigger sequencers, and a versatile external CV quantizer, all packed into a compact, skiff-friendly module.

A full set of retro-style keyboard buttons offers immediate access for inputting and triggering sequences, making it ideal for live performance, hands-on jamming, and fluid studio workflows. The sequencers can be run using an internal or external clock, and pitch, length, and patterns can be changed on-the-fly — no menu diving or stopping the groove.

The ASQ-1 also includes a powerful quantizer that can snap incoming CV to your chosen musical scale in sync with the beat, making melodic improvisation easy and precise. Each of the pitch sequencers, trigger sequencers, and the quantizer come with 13 user preset slots, so you can recall your favourite configurations quickly.

Whether used in a complex modular rig or as the centrepiece of a small live system, the ASQ-1 offers a tactile and immediate approach to sequencing that keeps your creativity flowing.
