I simply love it! It¥s a perfect compositionstool. Small, handy, usable with battery, filled with good sounds and good syles/phrases (especially if you¥re in to modern tunes). Compared with other qy-models: qy20/22 doesn¥t stand a chance, qy300 is no really alternative (fewer sounds - and worse), qy700 has a few advantages (more channels, 8 sections/style instead of 6/style, bigger and better display) but it¥s bigger and heavier and more than twice as expensive.

ok here goes- this thing is the coolest sequencer in the whole world. it is the size of a gameboy, and battery powered so u can bring it NEwhere... it has sixteen tracks but screw that 1/8 inch audio out! u need an adaptor if u want hi quality sound unless u r gonna use ear phones... not to tough to learn most of the functions r on the front panel. i like it a lot, but it is crap for live use cus everything is digitally controlled so if ya wanna mute sumthing fast u have to do this than that than this and so on... ive made many songs with the sequencer voices alone and nothing else so dont think u r gonna need a kik ass keyboard to go along with this thang... buy it if ya need a sequencer, if ya dont need a sequencer, dont buy it...........

Comments About the Sounds:
It¥s normal XG-standard. Good keyboardstandard, but not quite like the best. (But far better than cheaper or older keyboards or samplesynths.)
