Got this Yamaha sequencer recently but it's just not my thing.
"Unit Description
The QX5 (and later QX5FD with built-in 3 1/2" drive) was the top of the budget line of sequencers along with the QX7 and QX21. Featuring sub-menu operation via soft buttons instead of punching in job numbers and a combined linear/pattern approach to sequencing made the QX5 a popular choice for the low-budget studio.
Inputs:
MIDI in, tape in, foot switch
Outputs:
MIDI out + thru, tape out, click (audio)
Synchronization possibilities:
MIDI (SPP), TAPE
Secondary data storage:
Cassette. Can transfer via MIDI. QX5FD has 3 1/2" drive.
Memory size:
128k = ~20,000 notes. (15,000 with velocity) 8 tracks, 32 macros. (A macro is a track, which can be called upon from a track).
Physical size:
350x240x49 mm, weighs 2.9 kg (!)
Data generation/modification/recording:
Real- and step-time recording, playback and arranging of MIDI data.
Bugs & Features:
All editing/recording is performed on track 1. This means a lot of swapping tracks, as track 1 always must contain the track to be edited, or the to-be-recorded track. Relies quite heavily on sub-menus, but they are logically constructed. Memory size may be obstructive. No undo function. Backlit LCD display. Lots of features when editing tracks. Really easy to use. Has most of the features you expect from software-based sequencer, but this has the usual advantage of being 'ready to shoot' whenever you'll turn it on. Can take velocity in step mode also. "
