Yamaha QY10 - The First Portable Groovebox / Workstation

The Yamaha QY10 is a hand-held music workstation produced by the Yamaha Corporation in the early 1990s. Possessing a MIDI sequencer, a tone generator and a tiny single-octave keyboard, the portable and battery-powered QY10 enables a musician to compose music while traveling.

The main feature of the QY10 is its eight track sequencer. With its "pattern"-based design, it was more suited to supporting song writing rather than creating full musical compositions.

The QY10's tone generator:

  • sample-based synthesizer using Yamaha's 12-bit Advanced Wave Memory AWM synthesis
  • eight part multi-timbral
  • 28 note polyphonic 
  • 30 instruments and one drum kit with 26 sounds
