Hot off the heels of their FGDP-30 and FGDP-50 finger drum pad controllers, Yamaha continues to innovate in the world of mobility-minded beat making with a cutting-edge instrument that they’ve fittingly dubbed “Ideastation”: the Seqtrak. Its multi-engine architecture includes their Advanced Wave Memory 2 and 4-operator FM technologies, arming you with a versatile array of sounds ranging from iconic DX7-style synthesis to lifelike drums and everything in between. Sequencing, sampling, and a 128-note polyphony are just a handful of the tools the Seqtrak supplies for giving you uncompromising composition anywhere you go. It even features an augmented reality–style visualizer to import real-time 3D graphics into any video or livestream for instant accompaniment or synesthetic sound design. Sweetwater’s baron of beat making, Creative D’Will, gets hands-on with the Seqtrak to show what this all-inclusive mobile machine can do — no computer needed. Check it out!
