Awesome! My first machine ever was a QY10. I bet I still have it kicking around somewhere.

On a side note I want PJ Harvey like REALY want her.

Got the QY70 today, put some batteries in it and played around for 10 minutes before going back to work. I was getting some Goa Trance going with one of the presets and playing a pretty decent sounding piano from the keyboard. The little bastard is solid.
This is an impressive and seemingly powerful little device.....hopefully I can get the hang of programming the damned thing.
