Yamaha Seqtrak OR

Yamaha has been at the forefront of world-class sound for more than a century. They pioneered pianos and organs before expanding into band and orchestral instruments, synthesizers and musical mastery of all kinds. With the Seqtrak mobile music ideastation, Yamaha has used their expertise to create a flexible, all-in-one module that combines two powerful sound engines with an intuitive interface and streamlined form factor that lets you take a full studio of beat-crafting anywhere. In any case, we are impressed with the Seqtrak's customizable array of connectivity options, with a rechargeable battery for uninhibited, fully mobile creation alongside USB-C MIDI capabilities, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any stage, studio or on-the-go workflow. Moreover, the accompanying Seqtrak app not only provides greater control over the wealth of built-in FX, sampling, sequencing and real-time track building, but also includes a Visualizer mode to transform your tunes into a striking audiovisual sequence.

All-in-one sound, from AWM2 to FM and beyond

The architecture of the Seqtrak mobile music module rests on a dynamic, inspiring foundation of two sound engines. The AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) draws on many of Yamaha's perennials to conjure up a versatile world of authentic, lifelike sounds and stunning 128-note polyphony. Following their innovation with the legendary DX7, Yamaha has appointed a 4-operator FM engine to round out the sonic nature of the Seqtrak foundation, with stunning leads, evocative pads and much more. Sound design possibilities abound with the Seqtrak's versatile suite of onboard FX, including reverbs, delays and distortions to expand your sonic range with style.

Detailed composition, sampling and streamlined interfacing

Mobility is at the heart of the Seqtrak's design, and Yamaha's designers have spared no expense to ensure that users have access to maximum sound-crafting capabilities anywhere. The streamlined layout and ergonomic design combine to create a 3-part interface that intuitively differentiates between composition tools, effects and master controls. Built-in sequencing and sampling capabilities, coupled with an onboard speaker and microphone, are complemented by a pair of powerful performance modes: Tracks and Patterns. These can all be freely combined and interchanged in real-time studio or stage environments, where different aspects of your track can be instantly muted, encoded and remixed to reimagine the fat sonic capabilities of Seqtrak's toolkit.

Go deeper with advanced technology

While the rechargeable battery guarantees unfettered musical possibilities on the go, our physical plane is not the only place Seqtrak dares to explore. With the help of the adjacent Seqtrak app, you're able to engage in deep, granular editing capabilities that not only affect the range of the onboard sound engines, but also provide custom audio samples, inspiring collaboration opportunities with other artists and direct sharing with the world of Seqtrak sonic travelers. Artistic possibilities don't stop with audio, however, as the Seqtrak app features a unique Visualizer mode that can be further edited and refined for a full-spectrum audiovisual array. Plus, once you're ready to return to your home base, flexible USB-C connectivity and the included MIDI breakout cable ensure seamless integration into your studio setup.
