Sequencer is in near mint condition, it works as it should. Kept in my smoke free studio.

The Doepfer MAQ 16/3 is a legendary, high-end hybrid MIDI and analog step sequencer designed in cooperation with Kraftwerk. It features three rows of 16 rotary potentiometers, providing a deeply tactile experience that bridges the gap between classic analog workflow and digital precision. It is highly regarded for live performance and modular synthesis orchestration. [1, 2]Core Architecture

• Layout: 48 physical control knobs arranged in three horizontal rows of 16 steps.
• Hybrid Outputs: Simultaneously outputs standard digital MIDI data and analog Control Voltage (CV) and Gate signals (+5V or +8V selectable).
• Form Factor: Standard 4U rackmountable metal chassis, roughly 4 inches deep. [1, 2, 3, 4]

• Independent Row Parameters: Each row can run entirely on its own clock division factor, allowing multiple tracks to loop at different speeds or step counts (e.g., Row 1 set to 12 steps, Row 2 set to 16 steps). [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Inter-Row Modulation: You can use one row to modulate or control parameters of another row. For example, assigning Row 2 to dynamically switch the MIDI channels of Row 1, or assigning a row to act purely as a step-duration controller. [1, 2, 3]
• Serial Chaining: Although built as a 3x16 matrix, the device can be configured in serial mode to act as a single continuous 48-step sequencer.
