Yamaha SEQTRAK Review, tips and tutorial

YAMAHA SEQTRAK: 30 advanced tips and 5 things to know before you buy – Review & Tutorial

SEQTRAK is Yamaha’s return back to the portable groovebox market – it’s got plenty of buttons and hands-on controls, it’s loaded with internal sounds and synths and it can sample too.

Yamaha already have a good beginners tutorial for it on their channel, so rather than repeat that, in this video, I’ll focus on tips and ideas that build on the basics or stuff I wish knew when I started using SEQTRAK, and then I’ll discuss pros and cons in light of the competition, including a few things to know before you buy:
