I think the features have been described below. I am not yet used the SmartMedia card, note that this type of card is difficult to find. I just regret the lack of a wholesale outlet jack or other connector a bit more practical than the mini jack.
Section Amp Simulator is not excellent and anyway this is not about the machine, with a guitar and practice it with a low (and the volume a bit forced) to overdrive button is pretty interesting , but rather special stuff I like.
UTILIZATION
The manual for my part is in English, a French version is downloadable from Yamaha ... it's clear enough, we must nevertheless understand the logic and accept that it is slower than a computer. The functions are well thought out, I might be added a small button to go directly to user sections.
I urge you to download and print the "data list" with all the effects and beats to be able to locate the machine.
The mini keyboard is handy built but somewhat limited I think investing in an external master keyboard soon (I do not have big fingers but I find myself quite often if I want to make arrangements to press 2 buttons simultaneously).
I use it mainly to control a sp-555 or DR-888, the configuration was complicated at first (see in this connection that I made a post in the forum).
The only real downside is that the screen is not backlit (considering the price new at the output of this machine is still a bit limited).
The machine is in good hands and easily transportable: good ergonomics.
It's been 6 years since I make music with computer and think differently is very nice!
SOUNDS
Frankly I do not know what style of music is it can agree! The machine with its own sound, bad sound or a sound may be unrealistic to highlight a autre.On must be able to cope with all that jazz to techno, I think it really depends on the ideas that it develops or not.
The factory presets are not too bad, compared to the factory presets Roland machines I found a little less frozen remains of ca ... finally tools for composing what is the main function of this machine.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 weeks, I have not done the trick, have not used all features. It's a good machine and is the first of its kind I buy, there are other models like the 70 QY300 ect ... the benefits are the guitar input, SmartMedia card, the mobile computing. Purchased Used (200 euros) the value for money is very good. Whether or not it is better than other more or less adapted ... ect is not my concern, some find that the patterns intro, fill A, B. .. fill are rigid, personally well enough that it circumvents constraint, so it's definitely not a hindrance to creativity!
To dispense with a computer is a real luxury for me, an extra door to the imagination.
It is a very good machine!
