| 1152.1 | It's got no storage-to-tape... | AKOV68::EATOND | | Sat Jan 16 1988 15:48 | 0 |
| 1152.2 | OK what now?? | BUGEYE::CLARY | | Sun Jan 17 1988 14:41 | 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.

| 1152.3 | Another possibility | AKOV88::EATOND | | Mon Jan 18 1988 11:20 | 10 |
| RE < Note 1152.2 by BUGEYE::CLARY >
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.

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.

| 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 19:34 | 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 19:40 | 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 12:27 | 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.
