Guest analogue wings Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 They are cool but they run out of memory frustratingly quick. Check the many QY-70 threads on here.

You realise you can make tunes without recording audio, right? "making tunes with giraffes" could imply that he wants some evidence of giraffeness to be present in the track. With a midi only module, this is clearly not possible. Hence I'm making sure he knows what he's buying.

pcock Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 thats the main reason my qy700 is sat around gathering dust. i didnt know what i was buying and when i got it i couldnt be arsed reading the instruction manual. this is the 700 btw, i think its a whole different kettle of fish tbh, its certainly not portable. as for removable memory, no idea.

Doesnt it have a floppy drive? Your main reason for not using it is no audio then?

pcock Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 nah my main reason for not using it is extreme laziness. only since i quit weed at new year have i found my self with the energy to spend hours fiddling with options and controls and working out new synths and fixing my hardware and sorting out sequencer troubles. ive actually had it for about a year and half, and apart from turning it on and having a look i just couldnt be arsed. i always buy things expecting to able to turn them on and just start getting the notes out of my head but the qy700 is not that kinda beast. laziness is also the reason ive still got it, even though im poor as shit now and left with a bunch of stuff i dont really use becuse ive got a decent audio interface and a sequencer and a top class PC.

G. I. Raffe Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Doesn't need to record audio, but I don't think I could handle running out of space, and the QY 100 seems to be the only one with memory slots..
