The Korena take

Black Sequencer is a four-channel Eurorack controller for CV, gate, and modulation sequencing. Each channel has dedicated outputs and can run from two to 64 steps, while patterns reach 64 steps. Step programming, tap recording, and CV/gate recording sit alongside per-step note, glide, gate length, probability, repeats, ratcheting, and microtiming control. It can work from its internal clock, analog clock, or MIDI, with DIN5 MIDI I/O, quantizers, song construction, and SD-card project storage for recalling larger arrangements.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Controlling four modular destinations with separate CV, gate, and modulation outputs from one sequencer.
  • Building songs from stored patterns while retaining per-step timing, gate, probability, and repeat control.
  • Hybrid MIDI and Eurorack setups using DIN5 MIDI alongside configurable analog clock and reset connections.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Systems without 42HP of available rack width.
