Hi all,

I recently purchased the battery powered Yamaha QY70 and found out that in a addition to being a fantastic ultra-small (7-3/8" x 4-1/8" x 1-11/16" ; 1 lb - 2 oz) yet "full featured" sequencer & XG sound module that it can also act as an arranger keyboard in that you can midi it up to an external keyboard controller and play in "arranger keyboard style" split mode (playing chords in the left-hand triggering the QY70 to play auto-accompaniment patterns, while you play the melody in the right hand). There are a few arranger feature limitations (such as notes played left of split point 'fingered zone' do not sound and no sycro start button). Even so, the QY70 is the smallest & lightest arranger keyboard alternative available anywhere and is well suited for taking and playing on the road (car, airplane, hotel rooms, etc). The sound quality and features are awesome.
