DESCRIPTION: 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 tracks sequencer. With its "pattern"-based design, it was more suited to supporting songwriting rather than creating full musical compositions.

Patterns for various musical styles are built into the QY10. Users may also write their own patterns.

The eight tracks of the sequencer are thus divided into two groups: four standard sequencer tracks and four tracks dedicated to pattern playback.

The tone generator is eight parts multi-timbral (i.e. eight instruments may sound at once) and 28 notes (i.e. 28 notes may sound at once), which provides adequate support for sequences written on the unit. There are 30 instruments and 1 drum kit with 26 sounds. Furthermore, instruments can only be centered or completely left or right.

The QY10 was the first device offering the facilities of a music workstation in a portable package. In response to its design, the music technology press coined the term "walkstation", a fusion of the words "Walkman" and "Workstation".
