I posted a write up to Music Machines. Haven't checked to see if its up yet. Anyway, here's the cosmology : The qy stuff has patterns that are supposed to be like auto accompianment stuff. so each pattern has a drum track and three instrument tracks. But you can put any voice in any of those tracks if you like. You can treat it as your basic four track sequencer, quite adequate and convienient to operate. Better than an MMT8 for usability. But then when you are playing the pattern or go into song mode, you can select what chord is playing. The qy then warps out your pattern to make it conform to the stated chord. This is wickedly fun. In song mode, you then have four more tracks to write the melodies etc. The qy20 has 100 patterns. Each pattern of course saves the voice with the pattern, so I find this very convienient for live stuff. Just run it through a serge modular or some kind of thing, and you'd never know it was originally a banjo ! Actually I am positive I heard the banjo patch used in a fast hard techno track. Straight up and undistorted. Get the qy20, skip the qy10. > >I can't find any info on the QY20 so I'm not sure if this would be better >for what I want to do.
