Not the most portable, or the most sexy, but it has the best workflow of any device I’ve tried (also force, mpc live 2, maschine mk3, and some elektron boxes). Only downside is sound design being a little unintuitive. Would definitely love to see more companies try their hand at a deluge-like.

They blatantly took design cues from TE, which could very well influence how the product is perceived by some amount of potential buyers. Actually now that I think about it, Im a bit surprised that TE didn't come up with the visualizer concept first, it seems like something TE would totally do. @@LoveMeBack

Man, this thing looks dope. The iOS app with the interactive tutorial feature will significantly cut down the learning curve. I can't wait to get one.

This looks fun! Great to see innovation from more brands

This is the first groovebox where the overall control flow really makes sense with my brain. Thanks, Yamaha. Keeping this on my radar.

yamaha have got form and function nailed. i am intrigued by this little box. nice. and resampling! wow.

What a big win from Yamaha, this things seems pretty incredible

This is something special. This is menu dive free. Electron and TE learned all they know from Yamaha, Korg and Roland’s hardware. Yamaha sequencers/arrangers/groovebox’s and workstation set the standard for live looping alongside AKAI MPC workflow. Synchronizing Audio and Midi. RS7000?!! This isn’t a gimmick, and I’m guessing it won’t be over priced. This is a game changer. I’m grateful to see Yamaha continually innovating and reimagining

One could think that they could be working towards becoming a threat to Akai, the Mod X OS has more in common with the current MPC OS than I think most ppl realize. A true competitor in the pad style sampling workstation arena would be a good thing, Akai currently has no reason to offer anything truly amazing because there's nobody that's a serious threat when it comes to courting away their user base. Maschine + I don't feel qualifies as an actual competitor. Same with the SP404mk2.

There is lots of potential in these type of devices if the integration of tablets and phones works seamless.

The layout and knobs of the unit is smart and GUI interface of the desktop/mobile app is modern design.

Top product, thanks Yamaha! My wishlist for next Seqtrak firmware update: - Top priority 1: Note-off messages for midi chanels 1 to 7 (drums) should not be ignored but handled as usual (stop of current drum sample playback) - Top priority 2: Incorporate the possibility of changing sounds/programs in one track during pattern playback as recorded (!) program change - If pattern length is increased for a certain track, all midi notes should be copied over from previous pattern to new (empty) bar(s) - There should be an option to copy midi notes from bars (16 steps) to other bars (currently, only pattern / step coyping possible)

Phew that black one. Buying immediately (:
