And with the ability to import and export sequence patterns easily with your Mac or PC, the Pioneer DJ Toraiz Squid Sequencer is the ideal, powerful partner for both music production and performance. One reason DJ Toraiz Squid is such a powerful master sequencer is its ability to connect to virtually anything in the world of electronic music.
