Thanks everyone!
I don't understand everything about SEQTRAK perfectly. I think it still has a lot of potential.
Please take a look at the official website and other people's videos.
I also plan to post new videos, so please subscribe to my channel and stay tuned😊
Music hardware always has the sexiest looking product designs..
This is better than the official demos lol
agreed!
Fr. They need to upload some proper demos because this device seems super capable but only one of the short demo videos of there's was really any decent and seemed to actually explore the possibilities of the device.
Second that. Shows way more off without a doubt.
@@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss maybe Yamaha didnt give them enough time I wonder?
Yeah by miles 😆
please make this a full song i have this on repeat
Best Jam on YT with the SEQTRAK so far! Great job!
Can't wait to receive mine
I wasn't sure about this after the first video from Yamaha.... but your video is so good.
That break down at 1:18 is absolutely insane.
Dope track, I'm kind of in love with this little device. Great jam!
Just goes to show its not about the gear its about whether or not you have taste. you've definitely convinced me to buy one of these 😂
Same. Any idea where I can buy some taste?
@@Jonpoo1You can buy from people who has higher taste.
this thing is gonna be a beast for garage style
Yo, realy cool little track! Better sounding than most yamaha’s demo!
Sweet tune! This blows away the official demo tracks Yamaha put out
sounds sick
Absolutely love that track! Any chance to get that one on Spotify?
this is so dope what the heck
Fine, I'll buy one
Congratulations to the baby, OP-1 and SQ-64 🎉
We need more !
Top. ❤❤❤❤
This is a very cool musical machine gadget!
Dude, this was sooo good!!
Nice! I was waiting for this.
Wow, brand new OP-Y
Thats A TEN 🙌🏻
nice, thanks for all the answers in the comments as well!
Why am i the only person who this isnt available, only for ore order, where are yall getting these?
Great
1st time seeing this interesting machine
Good item
Bravo
Sweet jam
Very nice!
Dope.
Nice!
Holy shit you're good
This is legit-ness
First off, dope track. One question I have regarding the drum and sample tracks, are they fixed pitch? As in, they just play a sample back you cannot play them like a keyboard? And also, since you were part of dev, do you know the discussion behind labeling all of those "drum" tracks when they are essentially just separated sample tracks?
Thank you!
Drum tracks are not fixed pitch, but they cannot be played chromatically in the SEQTRAK key like synth tracks. However, you can use "Parameter Lock" to set any pitch for each step, and you can use an external MIDI keyboard to play and REC chromatically. (Note: The sequencer for each drum track is monophonic.
As for sample tracks, as answered in another question: The sample track has 6 samples assigned to the C3-F#3 keys of MIDI CH11, so it is not possible to play each sample chromatically using the keyboard. However, using "Parameter Lock", you can set a desired pitch for each step, so chromatic sequencing is possible.
@@phasma_ Really appreciate the explanation. I understand those limitations clearly, which I couldn't gather from the manual but that is probably on me. When are you releasing more jams? Are you allowed to? Lol as other commenters said, this was much better than the demos they put up.
@@dylanc2830 You're welcome.
I have plans to post a new video, so please look forward to it
Idk what just happened but thanks 😊
Wonder what this toy could also do in more of a lo-fi style !
Or a no hardware needed iOS app
great demo how ya like the workflow so far ?
11 tracks right? It means 8 for drums and 3 only for synth( without resampling of course). Or It's possible to address any sound on each tracks? Thanks
That's right, 11 tracks in total. 7 drum tracks, 3 synth tracks and 1 sampler track. 7 drum tracks are sample-based so you can load user samples freely, the 3 synth tracks are 2 AWM2 (PCM)+FM(DX) synths. Sampler track can be loaded with 6 samples.
@@phasma_ Please, what is sample length? If sample track can be loaded with 6 samples, what is their limitation? Thanks
@@PavelKabelik The maximum sample length that can be loaded is 16 seconds.
Sample tracks are not limited in terms of editing or sequencing, but there is only one "single effect" that can be used, so the same effect is applied to all 6 samples.
@@phasma_ but you can play all samples from sample engine at the same time? if yes it could be counted as 7 tracks but with the same effect on them, not just 1
@@bonwowo Yes, 7 samples can be played at the same time - sequences can be made for each of the 7 samples, so actually there are 7 tracks inside 1 sample track. The sequence length and single effects depend on 1 sample track.
Very nice song, demonstrates the devices strengths well! I have a question about the sequencer: is it possible to sequence automatic pattern changes, and can you switch to any of the 6 patterns or only the 3 loaded patterns?
Thank you! A "song mode" is provided for automatic sequencing of any combination of patterns on each track. This is different from the TE and ELEKTRON "pattern chain", so be aware of this.
you can switch to any of the 6
@@oscillated139 That's right!
Can't wait to get this little 400$ monster. Great move from Yamaha introducing themselves into this niche.
they used to make groove boxes way back in the day funny enough.
@@playeveryday01 I’m talking more the design choice and multi functionality with this one… -ahemteenageengineeringahem-
At the moment it is a 300€ monster
Can I sample this?
Yamaha, I hope to see a wireless midi keyboard with drum pads, next, please and thank you!
Important buttons like start/stop on the side. How does that feel?
As for this area, it is not easy to operate. For example, it is difficult to mute each track with one hand.
@Yamaha pay this dude.... He just sold a couple of hundred units for you!
could you show how it is to work with, ie, build up a song from scratch
Whenever people test devices like this or the teenage engineering stuff, they always make goofy aah beats
I can't find this anywhere in the product description so maybe you can help me out. Does it support stereo samples? My OP-Z only supports mono samples and it really annoys me.
It does not appear to be mentioned in the manual. But don't worry, Stereo samples are supported.
Supported sample format is 44.1 kHz / 16-bit or 24-bit WAV(Mono/Stereo) up to 16 seconds in length.
@@phasma_ perfect, thank you!
Can you parameter lock a synth track sound? Like have a piano, and on step 12 parameter lock the sound button to a marimba?
There is a parameter lock function, but no sound lock function to switch sounds on step.
The official Demo track we terrible. This is better but i haven’t seen a version yet that had sounds as good as the PO133
I hope they paid you cos you sold the machine to me I make hip hop but I love house 🙌🏽
How does she feel?
Can't seem to find a direct answer for this anywhere... but if I make a sample using the sampler, can I play it chromatically?
The sample track has 6 samples assigned to the C3-F#3 keys of MIDI CH11, so it is not possible to play each sample chromatically using the keyboard. However, using "Parameter Lock", you can set a desired pitch for each step, so chromatic sequencing is possible.
Yo can you actually replace the drum tracks. Like swap out kicks with your own or all of the drum sounds synth based?
It is possible to. As user samples can be loaded, it is naturally possible to load a BASS sample and sequence the baseline.
nice thanks @@phasma_
how'd the build quality feel?
Plasticy but it has a weight to it.
OP-Z monster ?
I think each of these gears has different advantages, but in terms of price, SEQTRAK has the advantage, so I think Yamaha has added a good option.
How did you receive it so quick?
This is because I am involved in product development as a creator of presets (sound packs).
Can user samples be loaded into drums and synth?
User samples can be loaded except on synth tracks.
@@phasma_ so you could load in melodic sounds on the drum tracks? For examples melodic plucks and basses on the percussion drum tracks?
@@itsdrawkcab5899 Of course it is possible. For drum tracks, there are some limitations, such as not being able to set a note length for each step, but you can, for example, load a single-note sample of bass to create a bass line.
Cool thanks!@@phasma_
@@phasma_ r u sure about loading them into synth tracks? from presentations about the app it seems like you can load your own samples via app to the synth engine
How is the build quality?
The housing is made of plastic, so it does not have the rigidity of metal, but it is not bad. Please try to touch the real thing.
very teenage engineering like
Looks like a Lego brick!
How you've got it before everyone else?
adult engineering
it's a copy of the TE op-z, with only 50 $ difference, i own a op-z and from the video i have seen there is no game, op-z has better stock sound, better sequencer, a keyboard, more intuitive step edit, the punch fx and you can make an automation almost on every parameter. If the seqtrak was 200$ i would understand the hype, but for almost the full price of an op-z is not worth it.
I think they have similar concepts, but each has its own separate appeal; in the case of SEQTRAK, the main difference and attraction is the inclusion of the AWM2 sound source.
If Yamaha's challenge has made you love OP-Z even more, I think that's great😊
@@phasma_great response, you’re right it depends on what you looking for
Pretty generic
worst design ever
it makes sence
