All user reviews of 3/5 for the Yamaha QY70

Connectivity:

-A headphone mini-jack
-A couple of MIDI input / output
-Battery power or AC adapter

It is therefore a MIDI sequencer (16 tracks) ultra-portable, with a close to that of a Game Boy screen.
Its main qualities are its portability (runs 2 hours on batteries), and XG tone, an equivalent of MIDI, Yamaha, for editing sounds (ADSR).

UTILIZATION

Operation is intuitive, the positioning of the buttons are well chosen, and the 3 screens (Song or Pattern, Mixer and Instrument) correctly readable.
The manual is well done, and answers all the questions that you are entitled to ask.

SOUNDS

XG technology makes the most interesting because editable sounds.
Nevertheless I used primarily as a sequencer for my other machines I made the train with the QY70, then at me, I assign different tracks on my other synthesizers and drum machines.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for less than a year, and this is a purchase that was rather useful to me, until I acquired an iPad; Indeed, the vintage side does not hold up about the possibilities of iPad apps.

The +:

-Portability
XG tone-editable
Ergonomics

The -:

Non-backlit screen
-Battery life pretty feeble


Finally, there is a rather well thought out machine that can work in situations "off-studio" (train, hotel, ...), but take a hit logic old facing a tablet, and even a smartphone.

UTILIZATION

The screen is not touch and it is sometimes complicated to edit patterns and chord ... especially when you're used to the ergonomics of small shelves today.

SOUNDS

The sound is more or less what we had in the 90s audio cards.

OVERALL OPINION

For me, the interest of this machine is to have a two-octave keyboard on which you can strum quietly ... (Attention, it wears quickly become Contacts and bad).
Interest compared to other software in a tablet: nobody will mow you something so ugly ... so you can have fun with the subway to 23h without fear.

Beyond premium is € 80

See spcialiss or commercial sites for CHARACTERISTICS.

Note that the connection is rev limit.

Reduces its size is an asset not ngligeable.

UTILIZATION

This mini-arranger squenceur is easy to use and you can CONTRL quickly, without too much digging in the manual ... which is rare at Yamaha.

To create the songs, a "SONG" is adopted.

SOUNDS

This device, which dates from 1998 or 1999 possde acoustic sounds bad, bad show trs, drum kits pretty bad too, but paradoxically, synthetic sounds that take their little prs Pingle's Thurs
Note that certain sounds are completely useless (like the train, hlicoptre ...).

OVERALL OPINION

We are in late 2004 and although this device possde INTERESTED qualities, including its function squenceur trs simple to use and with some synthetic sounds that can sduire the followers, it is best to ogle me in a hardware latest issue more qualitative performance audio and connectivity evolves a little more ... but the price will srement not the same.
This device nanmoins well dpann me to satisfy my need for Fast Fashion made me beautiful little couraging songs.
