Yamaha QY100 as a multi effects unit for guitar

- This is a very unusual option for a synth/sequencer: You can set the effects to work on the Aux-in socket, effectively making it a multi-effects system for any instrument. Here's a demo of the effects presets using my guitar directly into the QY100.

Wow this thing looks amazing. I think it would solve several of my problems at once -- I need a way to add effects to my guitar, a stand-alone synthesizer so I can play my Alesis Vortex keytar without needing a complicated PC setup and a portable electronic music instrument in it's own right, all in one small box.
Wow, yep this one ticks all the boxes for you! You can still get them from Ebay. Thanks for watching Gearfacts :)
I know this was 7 years ago but im in this exact situation. I even have an alesis keyboard. Just bought one of these and im super excited
Gearf, thanks for taking time for doing inusual demos!
My pleasure!
I just got one cheap and step by here for info. Fun little piece of gear.
Sadly the screen in this vid doesn't look any clearer than a pixelized news footage. Thanks for the demo anyway
Fair criticism. Old video, old camera, you know how it is! Having taken the rap though, I have to say it's a very dull screen - utterly lifeless. A backlight would have really bumped it up a massive notch /Gearfacts
@@gearfacts Understood, not really meant to diss you - just wished I could see what was on screen, given the interesting topic! I also like that this box can double as an arranger module
hcb yeah it’s a good idea by Yamaha, I think the arranger/synth is intended to be its primary function. And no offence was taken, it’s a very muddy video!
dude it's like 1000 years old. this is youtube back when nobody had good video-making capabilities. savor its vintage warmth
Great, very helpful, thanks for posting. What kind of guitar are you using?
Lawrence Steffens Thanks for that feedback. I almost always use a Fender Jag HH Baritone for my reviews.
whenever the "Drive" is quite harsh on this thing right? im thinking mine might be broken or the Drive is just super harsh
I found it extremely harsh, and not in a good way :(
Does the yamaha qy300 have these simulated amps n pedals aswell?
I believe so. Thanks for watching my old video!
love your vids chopper or mark read if you prefer
Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn, mate ;)
hello chopper. what piece of gear have you kept longest ?
Roland PMA-5, since about 1995. I used to do all my composing on it but its sounds are a bit dated now. Still a very useful midi tool though, and it features in a lot of my videos where testing midi performance is involved :) #gearfacts
you need to adjust the content
I thought it was pretty good.
"hi, i like everything about this video except the actual content" hahahahaha
@@theselfguidedtour ikr!
Is this Yamaha QY100 the same as the 70?
No I think it's a bit better - It has a backlit screen and a few more sounds (I think)
Then why do you introduce this video as a review of the “QY70”?
@@JohnSAitken Ah well you see there's an excellent reason for that: I made a mistake :)
This is very Brave of you to openly admit.
Happy MIDIing my friend I got lots of midi equipment. Do you?
Oh, it's not brave, I'm just happy to be human about it :) To answer your question, I have had a lot of midi equipment but I rarely keep things for long as I have to keep reviewing new stuff for the channel. I really like 90's gear like Roland's MC series, Korg synths etc ...not a fan of USB but there's not much option these days :/ GF
Can you program odd time signatures into the unit?
***** From memory, I believe that 5/4 was about as complex as it got.
thanks Glynn. That may be a deal breaker. I was looking at one for portable composition but I may reconsider. Thanks again.
Get a Roland pma5, it's an oldie but it's way funner!
Glynn Masterman I was weighing that unit as well. I've made a comparative feature list between the two. According to another QY100 user, they can do (quoting) ""The QY is able to do every time signature from 1/16 to 16/4.""( including odd time signatures I presume).
I REALLY like Roland products (or at least I liked my R-5) and it looks fun to use--- but a head to head comparison of features--- the QY100 is just more functional (plus it has 11k more notes available to record).
Thanks for your input. I'm not entirely decided yet.
Ah, I might be wrong about those QY features. You can read the manual by googling "QY100 pdf". Should be the first result that comes up. In terms of specs and features it definitely beat the PMA5 but the reason I love the PMA is simple: It's freakin fun to use, and that's why we all do music :)
