Yamaha QY10 Sound Module Sound Demo - No Talking

[@Alexander_Stevens]

This is exceptional, can’t imagine how much patience you must have program all of these sequences

[@RunningonairMusic]

Sorry to disappoint, but it was done on a DAW via the midi in. Just the sounds are the QY10.

[@matrixmirage2699]

I still have mine. I bought it new when it came out. I was my first modern device and that sequence is great. I got a Qy-20 soon after and made three albums with it.

[@RunningonairMusic]

I got mine in maybe '93. They were being sold off cheep (£90) and I needed some basic sounds to write music with for my music degree. Similarly, I've got about 2 albums worth of stuff, some yet to be released, but I'd like to use it again with some modern effects. I expect to use a few ideas from this video for a new track or two.

[@matrixmirage2699]

@@RunningonairMusic Yeah that is why I have held on to mine all of these years. Since all of these small desktop synths like the Korg Volcas have come out I have been thinking it would be a great little sequencer to pair with them.

[@RunningonairMusic]

@@matrixmirage2699 Yes, it should be able find a place in the "Retro DAW-less" live set, I would have thought.

I buy one in Germany 1993 - it cost >600 DM (today 300€) and was the coolest Bandmate

[@OLLiGoldeaux]

This little thing improve my one man band in the 90s. Genius Machine🎉

[@RunningonairMusic]

Yes, it helped me a lot too.

[@OLLiGoldeaux]

@@RunningonairMusic i ve sold mine 10years ago. Because of DAW. But some Pattern i miss and rebuild sometimes

[@Havanacuba1985]

Very impressive demo , I love old hardware ,I’m primarily a guitar player and know not much about this so it’s helpful to see all the available sounds

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks. It's such a basic piece of kit, but still fun to work with.

[@MrKreuzQuer]

I got my QY-10 just a few days ago an still are working through getting it to know. There's not much useful Information regarding this old tools on the net. Your DEMO ist a great piece of information, so please keep up posting this kind of stuff. Would be great if you showed a little bit of your workflow (not just the resutl 😀 )

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks, I'll consider doing more of a tutorial but I'm mainly into just using sounds currently.

[@XCVR]

V11 distorted guitar is the preset used on Elastica's "Connection". Very nice.

[@RunningonairMusic]

surprised anyone has used it!

[@XCVR]

Apparently Damon Albarn still has his! I really like odd little synths, thanks for the demo.

[@RunningonairMusic]

No problem

[@philippezsiga1125]

ALL the song “” connection “” was made by Damon on his QY10 ( you can hear the drums and distorted guitars preset in the intro) and he still have the demo inside his QY10 !!!!!!

[@MisterJ-p1y]

@5:24 The intro to "Connection" by Elastica (& Wire)

[@RunningonairMusic]

Good to know it's useful for something!

[@sauermusicDE]

Really nice to hear those sounds with a little bit of reverb added. Which plug-in (or hardware device) did you use?

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks, I considered just doing it dry, but I thought there would be no way you would ever do that in real life (well, for most of the sounds at least), so opted for a basic reverb wash. It's Valhalla Supermassive BTW.

[@えどもんど江戸者奴]

Amazing movie👍

[@RunningonairMusic]

Glad you enjoyed, Thanks!

[@1966Graham]

Sounds good

[@RunningonairMusic]

Cheers

[@michaelhoodleeder]

At 5.29 is the sound used by Damon alban on the elastica connection track?

[@RunningonairMusic]

No idea, I don't know his stuff but I seem to remember someone saying he'd used it.

[@chrisjunosmusic]

Nice work !!

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks!

[@adambrowne01]

Quick question. Can you use this to sequence synths/ external gear? Thanks

[@RunningonairMusic]

Yes, i believe so. Best to check the manual though.

[@Drumsdude123]

Thanks! Is it possible to create your own chords progressions?

[@RunningonairMusic]

It has a built in sequencer, so yes you can input anything you like.

[@rishpanjeet7479]

I never even CONSIDERED the fact that I could just hook up a MIDI keyboard to these QY modules… I feel so stupid…

[@RunningonairMusic]

Well don't feel bad about it.. I still haven't used the sequencer!

[@tavil1296]

No choir patch? What a shame it would probably sound great and lofi

[@RunningonairMusic]

The vibes are good for that digital crunch.

[@squishmusic]

Sell your QY10 and get a QY70. They are going for around the same price on the s/hand market nowadays.

[@RunningonairMusic]

The only reason i have the QY10 is so i can reproduce music i did in the 90s authentically. Im probably leaning more towards software to do music now. I might well check that out at some point though.

[@philippezsiga1125]

No ways: first handed workstation and preset used by Blur etc etc

[@hikari_no_yume]

The QY70 is great, but it's a completely different world because it's a vastly more advanced, later execution of the same concept. The charm of the QY10 is how primitive it is.

[@RunningonairMusic]

The qy10 has some really nice crunchy sounds, which makes it quite an interesting little box.

[@sergiomax1607]

thx i need one shot of all instrument to make a virtual one for windows. Can you do that for me please ?

[@RunningonairMusic]

I'll put something together next time I get the QY out, but it won't be for a while.

[@TheBroDotTV]

Ha ha the sounds are awful 🤣. I got a Korg 05r/w for GM sounds so this would just be a duplication lol.

[@RunningonairMusic]

It's very basic, yes.

[@TomAnderson7]

It sounds nothing like GM sound. Sounds like video game, maybe Super Nintendo. This is why I like it. I had to buy one.

[@RunningonairMusic]

True.

[@EgoShredder]

It's got a similar sound to what was around in the PSS range back then.

[@philippezsiga1125]

Yes absolutely awful that s why for exemple Damon Albarm used it and love it …. And by the way one of the most famous song in History ( Thriller) and one of the most sound on Thriller comes from a small absolutely awful … Casio … Stupid comment

[@MidiFister]

@6:42 between the sound and those first 2 notes I thought this was going to be NIN “Sanctified” 😂

[@RunningonairMusic]

Not this time. 😃
