MSQ 16/10 is an advanced MIDI step sequencer plug-in designed to enhance your music production workflow. It features multiple sequencers including a 16x13 note matrix covering one octave, along with additional sequencers for octave control, slide, gate time, velocity, and MIDI continuous controllers. A dedicated reset sequencer allows quick synchronization across sequencers, while a pattern sequencer manages sequence arrangement with ease. Each sequencer offers independent control over speed, length, and playback direction, including forward, backward, bidirectional, and random modes.

This step sequencer supports dynamic performance options such as triggering and transposing sequences via a MIDI keyboard, and memorizing the last played notes or sequence positions. It includes eight user-configurable patterns that can be manipulated through automation, MIDI input, or direct interaction. Features like scale quantization and chord functions enable the addition of notes per step, expanding creative possibilities. Additionally, all sequencers support randomization, alternation, and shifting, allowing intricate rhythmic and melodic variations. The pitch sequencer can be adjusted in semitone steps for precise tuning.

MSQ 16/10 incorporates an integrated sound engine for pre-listening to sequences without needing external instruments. It offers adjustable shuffle and loop functions, providing groove customization and seamless playback. To maximize the potential of this plug-in, it is recommended to use it with a MIDI keyboard and a quality VST instrument or hardware synthesizer connected via MIDI. This setup ensures full control and expression during composition and live performance.
