With sampled sounds, digital effects and an on-board multi track sequencer, the SQ16 shouts it loud and proud - a home keyboard's place is not (necessarily) in the home.
Auto-accompaniment keyboards have long been derided by synth players for their 'playalongasong' ethos, dated accompaniment styles and inferior sound-generating technology.
Yet, in truth, this kind of keyboard has been doing a lot of catching up in recent years, and nowadays the more sophisticated ones can stand proud alongside their synth brethren.
Keyboard: 61-note, velocity sensitive Voices: 177 instrumental plus 23 ‘drum kits’; General MIDI Voice configuration mode Polyphony: 56 voices (2 x 28) Sequencer: 16 tracks, 48ppqn resolution Auto-accompaniment styles: 269 preset plus eight programmable Disk Drive: 3.5″ Double Sided Double Density; Standard MIDI Files read-write capability Connections: Aux Out (L/Mono & R), Aux In (L & R), Pedals (1, 2), MIDI (In, Out, Thru, Remote Keyboard) Speakers: (12cm plus 5cm) x 2 Amplifier output: 8.3 watts x 2 Dimensions: 953mm (W) x 428mm (D) x 165mm (L) Weight: 11.5kg
Other features which show the SQ16 to be a thoroughly modern instrument are a General MIDI patch configuration mode, the ability to sustain sounds across patch changes, and the ability to read/write sequences in Standard MIDI Files format.
This latter feature allows sequences to be transferred via disk between the SQ16 and a wide range of sequencing packages running on Atari ST, Apple Macintosh and PC-compatible computers.
Another significant feature of Yamaha's latest keyboard is its 56-voice polyphony, which puts many a synth to shame. In fact, this polyphony is divided equally among two banks of Voices (patches), meaning that any one Voice can be played with at most 28-voice polyphony - still a very reasonable figure by today's standards.
