yep - if you google it you seem to land at the windows page - this link (one step back) should work for anyone still needing it

@avantronica Thanks, I thought I was going crazy since I was pretty sure I did the last update on my mac. Something seemed to be temporarily fudged in the site navigation from the product page, but now I get the full software list.

Can anyone tell me how the length parameter in gate mode works musically?
Like what does 50% do? 50% of the step ( a 32nd note) or 50% of the pattern (a half note) or something else?
And does it send a note off based on this?
thanks!
it’ll be per step - but you can record in tied notes or manually edit in tied notes - so long notes are a thing
also when you edit the note length, the range extends beyond 100% to ‘tie’ and then on to ‘slide %’ iirc for note slides
there are no hanging notes when i’ve used it - whether it sends velocity 0 or a note-off message i am unsure
Thank you! If you or anyone feel like putting it on a midi monitor I would be curious and I appreciate all the info.

I’m not back to base for a few days, but if you found out about any other recent Korg gear I’d be surprised if it wasn’t using the same approach
That makes sense re other gear and I appreciate all your help !

Hi, I’am using the Korg SQ64 and while the Korg SQ64 ist playing the steps, I can’t hear the sounds I’am overdubbing with my Arturia Keystep 37 when the Play Button on the Korg ist active - and of course I hear the recorded steps on the Korg. I have to push record on the Korg SQ64 to hear the sound I’am playing on the keystep. Can anyone help? 
Have the updates to this sequencer given it the ability to sync to 1 pulse per step?
The SQ1 seems to have this facility.
I believe this was already possible from the get go … i’m not sure it was part of the last update
1 pulse per step doesn’t really equate to anything given that the idea of the step’s relationship to the internal clock can be varied anyway
The default per track is 1/16 ‘tempo’
So with a pulse clock from another device where the pulse is 1 per step - when the SQ64 is set to 4ppqn incoming clock sync it is defaulting to 1 step progression per incoming clock pulse
But if the internal clock per track is factored, it can be made to represent twice as fast, same rate, half as fast and quarter as fast
The other available incoming clock dividers are more for compatibility with din-sync type clocks that are factored by 3s
The outgoing clock can be 2ppqn but the slowest rate read incoming is 4ppqn, which at the default track ‘rate’ is what you want - with scope to still go either way using the individual track ‘factor’ to double, half or quarter

Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated.
Think I had my ‘Sunday Morning’ head on when I read the specifications!

how is everyone liking their Korg SQ-64 in the era of many alternatives such as oxi one, hapax, T-1?
I haven’t touched it since getting the Hapax. The SQ-64 has a lot going for it. Small, well built, cheap (I got mine for $200 on reverb), a hard focus on CV, nice drum sequencing, etc.
But if you have one of the more expensive, more capable units, it’s hard to justify pulling it out, imho. Maybe if I did more eurorack stuff? Or needed something small and portable? But as a mostly MIDI guy with lots of desk space, my SQ-64 has sat on the shelf.
Haven’t touched mine since I got the Hapax.

How is the jitter on the SQ64? Can/has anyone tested it? I’m looking for something with very low sync jitter synced via midi to OT.
SQ1 has very low jitter but I need more CV and trigs, and more steps etc.

I’ve used mine a bunch and haven’t noticed any jitter at all. That being said I haven’t done any scientific tests with it but it’s been super smooth timing wise, IMO. Really nice bit of kit. I think it has gotten overlooked by a lot of folks.

What’s the acid test for ‘low’, SQ-64 is one I use as a standalone controller - never sought to use midi much with it
it’s a fine thing to behold imho, has its quirks, don’t we all
i’m not that guy who’d care too much about drifting clock readings and so on - so if you have a measurable/quantitative test in mind, fire it up here - i may find some time whilst i am having a lovefest with the awesome all-sweet-spot Volca Drum (cue Korg with a VDrum2 next week !)

What I would be looking to do (mainly) is sequencing modular/analog gear with it synced to the OT, then sampling the modular loops into OT - without (ideally) having to move start points and slice up to get bang on the grid.
The SQ1 and a lot of other Korg gear - Monotribe, Volcas etc are pretty good WRT jitter, but some of their gear has a couple of ms jitter which means a lot of post editing, which I am trying to avoid. I’m hoping the SQ64 has similar performance to say the Monotribe.
I guess an easy test would be to sync SQ64 to OT, lay out a beat on OT, and a beat on SQ64 via trig out sample it into OT, then look at the start point, and each beat to see if there is deviation from where it should be. Although obviously in most cases it can be heard if it is beyond a ms or 2 of drift when played against the OT.

I’ll try to construct a simple i/o test with OT-SQ1 then OT-SQ64 driving something snappy back in alongside a click track to see if they’re on a par - bump me if i get distracted or forget
