Yamaha SEQTRAK Black

Yamaha introduces the Music Production Studio SEQTRAK. The compact device is a standalone music production tool that comprises a step sequencer, drum machine, two AWM2 synthesizers, a reface DX style FM synthesizer, a sampler with recording functionality and an effects section as well as microphone, speaker and a rechargeable battery. An extensive (and growing) sound library and the clever, very intuitive workflow make SEQTRAK the ideal travel companion and an indispensable creative tool for studio, stage and road. The already comprehensive sound editing functionality is further enhanced by the free SEQTRAK app that allows in-detail adjustments of all parameters the device has to offer.

The SEQTRAK features a dedicated drum section with seven tracks, including kick, snare, clap, two hi-hats, and two percussion sounds. Each track can be loaded with high-quality sounds from the extensive library, which currently offers over 2,000 sounds spanning all instrument categories. Additionally, you have the option to import your own samples via the SEQTRAK app. Arrange these sounds effortlessly using the step sequencer's 128 steps, with 16 steps displayed on the face of the device.

Equipped with three synthesizers and a sampler, the SEQTRAK allows you to create captivating harmonies and melodies. The first two synths utilize Yamaha's renowned AWM2 engine, offering a versatile and polyphonous sound experience with 128 notes. The third synth, aptly named DX, revives the vibrant sounds of the classic Yamaha synth with its four-operator FM engine. Switch between mono, poly, and chord modes to tailor the synth to your track's specific requirements.

With seven keys available, you can effortlessly play melodies or chords, along with selectable scales and keys. In keyboard mode, the step sequencer keys transform into a chromatic keyboard. You even have an arpeggiator at your disposal. The sampler allows for the mapping of sample sounds to each key, offering an extensive selection from the library. Alternatively, you can record and sample individual sounds from external sources, via USB, re-sampling, or using the built-in microphone. This level of versatility in such a compact form factor makes the SEQTRAK truly exceptional.

Refine and perfect your sounds with SEQTRAK's sound design section. Here, you can edit parameters like pitch, volume, pan, attack, decay, and filter, depending on the selected sound. The effect section provides even more options, allowing you to add reverb, delay, modulation, and other effects to enhance your tracks. Whether you want to add distortion to a kick or compress the overall mix, the SEQTRAK has it all. Say goodbye to the need for additional peripherals - with the SEQTRAK, you can take your musical ideas from their inception to their final sound design, all within one device.

Yamaha understands the importance of a seamless workflow, and that's why they've developed the SEQTRAK app. This app grants you extensive editing possibilities, giving you access to all the parameters of the effects, drums, and synthesizers. Dive deeper into your music, fine-tune every detail, and let your creativity soar. The app even includes a visualizer feature, allowing you to create captivating videos with animated objects that react to your music. With the SEQTRAK app, the possibilities are endless.
