[color=#444444][font=comic sans ms, cursive][size=5]<< [/size][/font][font=tahoma,]The QY700 is a high-end Sequencer Workstation released in the mid to late '90's. It's an all-in-one sequencer with a built-in synthesizer, effects, MIDI and tons of memory! The QY700 makes an excellent alternative to computer-based MIDI studios; the QY700 has the power to be the heart of your MIDI studio. Of course such boxes as the Yamaha RS7000 have come along since the introduction of the QY700 that add more features and capabilities. But the QY700 is nostalgic and still powerful enough to hold up to today's standards![/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]At its core, it is a programmable MIDI sequencer. It can store up to 110,000 notes, 48 Tracks (32 Linear, 16 Pattern) and 20 Songs. A built-in 3.5 inch disk drive provides external storage. The sequencer has 64 notes of polyphony which is usually more than enough. The sequencer allows recording in Step, Punch-In, and Realtime with overdubbing features. The tempo can range from 5 to 300 bpm and the Conductor Track is very flexible. Thankfully a fairly large 320 x 240 backlit LCD screen makes entry and editing very easy to see and use.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]In addition to controlling your synths via MIDI, the QY700 has it's own Yamaha synth engine inside. Using AWM2 - Advanced Wave Memory - as well as Yamaha's XG format and good old General MIDI sounds, the QY700 has an ample selection of quality digital sounds ready to use! You get nearly 4,000 drums, bass, guitar, and synth sounds. There's even a library of Phrases like intro, fill and ending patterns that you can use. These phrases are highly tweakable and can be made all your own. There's also Chord memory and plenty of built-in effects to use on the internal sounds as well. The QY700 even has a pseudo 2-octave keyboard and assignable mini Pitch/Mod wheels, and programmable foot switches for start, stop, fill, etc. Additional MIDI I/O's and outputs would have been nice, but it's still a capable and musical sequencer. >>[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,][b]What I'm selling/including:[/b][/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]The QY700's 'shell' is somewhat worn in places, but this in no way affects how the unit functions. The only functional fault that I am aware of is the data wheel, which works fine turning clockwise, but not anti-clockwise. Thankfully it is very quick to enter data values quickly using the alpha-numeric keys.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]Comes with the KPA6N power adapter - weighs as much as a small car! The manual is easily available online, but I will include it on a CD anyway.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]I am also including a USB external floppy drive. It's very unusual to find a floppy drive on a computer these days, so I have included this so that you can load songs and styles in bulk via disk, as well as via the MIDI ports.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=tahoma,]If you would also like some used but serviceable floppy disks and a pair of MIDI leads, let me know and I will chuck them in too.[/font][/color]
