"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a batt... [te weten: 6x AA] powered, pocket sized, 8-track sequencer / 8-part synth'n'drums module. Anderton checks out Yamaha's mighty midget. ... the headphone volume level isn't quite loud enough to allow composing on a noisy tube train, but aside from that the songwriting machine of my dreams is now reality. The QY10 brings to musicians what the laptop computer brings to writers: the power to be portable. ...
The QY10 is an 8-track sequencer with built-in sounds (30 instruments and 26 drum sounds), 24 ppqn resolution, batt... (6 cells) or optional AC adapter operation, and the memory to store up to eight separate songs.
Like drum machines, songs can be built by linking short (one to eight measure) patterns, although these patterns include melodic instruments as well as drums. However, you can also record linear sequence tracks, or combine the two approaches: string together a series of patterns, then overdub lines that run the length of the tune.

Of the eight tracks, four are dedicated to a 'backing track' consisting of bass, drums, and two different melodic/chordal instruments. Each of the 76 preset patterns plays a backing track with a particular musical style (see box). What keeps these presets from being merely a laundry list of musical cliches is that the performances and sounds are really pretty good. There are also 24 user-programmable patterns (up to eight measures each). The user pattern could start off as a copy of a preset pattern which you then edit, or be created from scratch. ...

The sounds in the QY10 are surprisingly good. Sure, hook the unit's line out into a decent playback system and you'll hear awkward loops on the strings, buzzing on some of the really tight loops, and quantisation noise. Yet these sounds still go way beyond the average 'consumer' device.

What's more, they're musically useful. All sounds can be transposed, sometimes to the point of becoming a new sound altogether. Transposing way down gives rumbles and roars that I'm sure someone will put to extremely good use ..."

De gebruiksaanwijzing in pdf-vorm is up-to-date en ZEER dik!

Vergelijkbaar en ook te koop: Zoo. rt323, maar die (de Z.om) kost wat meer. Die en deze Yamaha zijn geen portastudios (zulks heb ook te koop. De luxere daarvan kunnen (deels) wat deze drumcomputer / arrangers / sequencers kunnen, maar hebben geen 1 oktaafs toetsenbordje.)

Ophalen kan.
Verzending kan. Porto 5,50 euro dhl, of verzekerd + aangetekend met postnl wat euro's meer).
