| 1152.1 | It's got no storage-to-tape... | AKOV68::EATOND |  | Sat Jan 16 1988 12:48 | 0 | 
| 1152.2 | OK what now?? | BUGEYE::CLARY |  | Sun Jan 17 1988 11:41 | 3 | 
|  |     Are there any sequencers with features similar to the SQ-8 that
    have storage to tape capability, in the same price range.  I can
    see the obvious limitations in the lack of this feature.

	The only one at THAT low a price is the Casio SZ-1 - 3,000 notes,
I believe it stores to a RAM,...  Not a bad unit, but internal note capacity
is low.  Sam Ash was selling it for $149 last summer.

| 1152.4 | Casio SZ-1......Only For The Infinitely Patient | AQUA::ROST | I feel your innuendo | Mon Jan 18 1988 09:47 | 25 | 
|  |     
    The SZ-1 uses the same architecture as the sequencer in the
    CZ-5000....or maybe vice versa.  The CZ actually has double the
    storage.
    
    The SZ can store up to 1700 notes real-time entered or 3400 notes
    step-time entered.  If you do some tracks in each mode, you will
    get something in between in storage.
    
    I know the CZ has eight tracks, but I think I recall the SZ has
    only four tracks.  Tracks entered in real-time cannot be edited
    in step-time or vice versa.
    
    An OK sequencer, but certainly one of the stranger architectures
    of available machines.  Built into the CZ, it's OK, but as a
    stand-alone...????                              
    
    BTW, I would guess the storage is tape, since the CZ-5000 can store patches
    to RAM, but not sequences (but either to tape).                               
                                                  
    How about a used Roland MSQ-100 or Yamaha QX7....I see them in want
    ads all the time for $150 and less.

|  |     1700 notes is squat. Even 3000 isn't much memory.
     
    The memory limitation, combined with the lack of outboard storage
    capacity, make this unit sound like your basic bow-wow....
    
    Listen to Brian. Buy a used Roland or Yamaha.

| 1152.6 | Such a deal I have for you ... | DYO780::SCHAFER | if (bucks .GT. 0) call MUSIC_STORE | Mon Jan 18 1988 12:23 | 7 | 
|  | RE: .-1
    FWIW, I have a QX7 that I'm getting rid of.  DTN 433-2408 or send mail.
    Oh yeah.  $150 firm.

| 1152.7 | Another Squid, coming up! | AKOV88::EATOND |  | Wed Jan 20 1988 16:34 | 12 | 
|  | 	BTW,  Korg has a new sequencer in the works...  the SQD-8.  Saw it in
an ad in Electronic Musician.  Features 8-tracks, real or step time recording, 
and...
	(drum roll, please...)
		a DISK DRIVE!
	(don't know the price yet, though...)

| 1152.8 | Is the 8 track model called an OCTO-SQUID? HAHA!! | JAWS::COTE | 20 days already? This is easy... | Wed Jan 20 1988 16:40 | 9 | 
|  |     Didn't the SQD series also have the dubious feature of
    PRE-quantization? Kinda like a drum machine, where you pick the
    resolution *before* you input???

| 1152.9 | SQ-8 memory | BUGEYE::CLARY |  | Sun Jan 24 1988 09:27 | 1 |

|  |     
    Anybody seen this SQD-8 yet???
    
    I saw an ad for the new 707 keyboard that also pictured this little
    bugger and  (surprise) it looks like the SQ-8 with a quick-disk
    drive added.
