Amok_ « Small box to do everything »
Published on 10/21/12 at 14:22There are already many opinions, so I'll try not to repeat what has been said
The QY100 is essentially:
-To play and repeat with accompaniment (guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist)
To dial-
It features a sequencer, an expander twelve o'clock XG (bank area), a simulator amp / effect for guitar and voice
If it is based sequencer, do not assimilate with a groove box. There's no step sequencer and other specific grooves box.
Here, we first choose a style, it determines the sections of the song (intro, Maina, mainB, FILLAB, fillBA, ending) then the following agreement.
Using a style (including with 4pistes drums) + 16 tracks
You can change styles / tempo during the song
You can create your own styles
You can play midi with an external keyboard or the buttons acting as mini keyboard (without velocity)
Can control external devices, but I do not see how to manage or control changes sysex
Specification
Line-OUT mini jack (bof the quality of output)
-Guitare/micro IN jack on
Midi IN / OUT
-3.3V SmartMedia card
Host-output (obsolete, old computer equipped for serial input)
-32,000 Notes compositions (low), 64-note polyphony
Memory 20 songs
Simulation-amp / effect: 18 guitars and 5 mics
UTILIZATION
The ergonomics of the camera is very good, and we will most quickly for the simple things.
The creation of a new style is not very complicated, especially if we take an existing style
In short, it is found to be more effective than a computer to perform the essential. on the other hand, for automation and mixing, it is a little less obvious.
To accompany him, he's just a shame to press 2 keys (shift + play) to start playback loop (not easy)
Autonomy on battery is low, the device consumes a lot and it is better to connect a transformer
SOUNDS
The sounds of the simulation is just correct. In guitar, it is not worth a pod2.
Bank twelve o'clock XG is correct, all the sounds of drums, bass, guitar, synth are (for keyboards and expanders, is renowned for Yamaha guitars over competitors Roland and Korg).
Nevertheless, it is far from a pattern the same time, because it lacks punch and precision.
Styles available, many (over 100) are very well done and believable.
OVERALL OPINION
In summary this is a good box to do everything for guitars or a keyboardist.
Great to train and you can take it anywhere easily
To dial, you go to the essentials. With a smartmedia card, you can finish the piece on a computer.
To use it live, it seems to me less fit (the bank just 32000notes limitation ...), unless you use another bank GM or XG (a pattern, for example).
I took this to replace a QY100 pma5 death, and I am more than satisfied. It is just as well or better (nothing is fixed, contrary to what the other user said pma5)
