Yamaha QY10 Music Sequencer
The Yamaha QY10 is a hand-held music workstation possessing a MIDI sequencer, a tone generator and a tiny single-octave keyboard, the portable and battery-powered QY10 enables a musician to compose music while traveling. The main feature of the QY10 is its eight track sequencer. The QY10 has a "pattern"-based design. A pattern is a short sequence of backing music played on bass guitar, percussion and two other instruments. Patterns for various musical styles are built into the QY10, for example European house music, rhythm and blues and bossa nova. Users may also write their own patterns, which must be written in the key of C major. When playing a song, the QY10 automatically rescales patterns to match a selected chord. The eight tracks of the sequencer are thus divided into two groups: four standard sequencer tracks and four tracks dedicated to pattern playback. The latter are typically programmed as one "backing track" which stores a sequence of pattern numbers and chord changes. The QY10's sequencer data is maintained by an internal back-up battery, but it may be also be stored externally by transferring it to a suitable device (e.g. a MIDI equipped computer). The QY10's tone generator is a sample-based synthesizer utilising Yamaha's 12-bit Advanced Wave Memory synthesis technology. The tone generator is eight part multi-timbral (i.e. eight instruments may sound at once) and 28 note polyphonic (i.e. 28 notes may sound at once), which provides adequate support for sequences written on the unit. With its pattern-based sequencing system, it is particularly suited for use as an accompaniment device. Another application is as a general purpose MIDI sequencer.
The QY10 comes complete with the power adapter.
The QY10 is in Very Good condition and is guaranteed to be in proper working order.
