[Sound Comparison] Yamaha QY70 vs. QY100 - Patterns

This is me playing back some factory patterns of the Yamaha QY70 through its own sound engine and simultaneously the QY100, switching A/B between them using their own volume sliders (very professional I know). They're both XG compatible but from different generations (like MU100 vs. MU128).
Both devices are set on the same level (judging from some identical sounds) and EQed neutrally.
Yes, there's backlight in both of them. I've got a tutorial in my main channel how I did it.

I liked the QY70 more than the 100, it sounds more open and clear to me.

@breberky 8 лет назад

Must agree. I was expecting the QY100 much better, but it sounds a bit muffled to me. Maybe there is some postprocessing (reverb, chorus) on QY100 activated?

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 8 лет назад

There's nothing happening after their headphone outputs. However, you must consider that those patterns are optimized for the QY70's sound engine, not for the QY100's. If I switched the MIDI connection the QY100 would probably sound better.

@rebeccaschade3987 4 года назад

The QY100 sounds fuller to me. It's like you cut away a lot of lower to upper mid-range when swapping to the QY70, which makes it sound more airy at first, but actually a lot thinner.

@deejay7339 4 года назад

They both sound good. I agree above, the QY100 sounds more rounded and balanced to my ears. I think the quality could be described as more "modern". It depends what your goals are in the mixing.

@markuc999 3 года назад

Both sounds the same, QY70 is in whole test louder ... that´s all. Both have the same audio engine.

@Aetila Год назад

After so many years I had to buy back the QY 100, it's on the way....and getting expensive. I never became good friend with the apps, although I've found some with Chord Search and Chord Composition...but there are phrases on the QY one could combine, I forgot that part and I like the guitar amp too. Looking forward to follow the QY 100 exercise you have on YT. Thanks mate for all the synth educations! /A longtime fan from Sweden

@qysoundlibrary2093 3 года назад

Both the qy70 and qy100 are great sequencers!

@YouTendToForget 6 лет назад

Could you point me to the tutorial to have backlight screen on qy devices. I haven't found it on your Jayb Channel. Thanks !

@valley_robot 6 лет назад

Got my very own qy70 coming this week , can’t wait to hook it up to my synths

@richardwilliams1310 7 лет назад

these were awesome products back in the day, I'm sure they are still useful in an iOS and DAW VST age too

@fclefjefff4041 2 года назад

A lot people are going DAWless these days too. I picked up a QY70 a few months ago and will definitely be using it with hardware drum machines, rack synths, sequencers, effects pedals, etc 👍

@mr_floydst 2 года назад

Ah, you made a second channel. :-) I do hear a difference but to me, it seems negligible. The QY100 sounds more "powerful", for a lack of better words.

@MrKeys57 7 лет назад

Wow! i will get one used QY100, now Sunday! - exciting!

@TheMentolnomad 5 лет назад

How do you have a back light on the QY70?

@ventusmoses3428 10 дней назад

@zblofu 4 года назад

I used the midi from that horn riff at 5:29 in one of my songs. There are quite.a few gems in the preset patterns on the QYs.

@dj2bklyn 9 дней назад

The 70 and 100 are both good

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 7 лет назад

Please keep in mind that these patterns were optimized for the QY70's sound engine. I've made another video with a reverse midi chain (QY100 to QY70): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QT1KoVcL1kg.html

@nelgerome3865 7 лет назад

Wow - the 70 clearly sounds better !

@nookcyan 6 лет назад

Hi, nice comparison, In my opinion the QY70 is better, no doubt about this! Fantastic product!

@wilcandou 2 месяца назад

Sounds like you have different eq on this AB test... I also have both these units and there is absolutely no differences.

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 2 месяца назад

The EQ Settings are identical. They both have different sample sets. If you don't hear a difference then it's not because of the units.

@adammagdaleno26 3 года назад

This has been really helpful for me. I’ve been curious to see if there was any way to get MIDI files to sound like music from Playstation 1 and Sega Saturn games. I think devs created music with similar devices and then recorded them onto CD. I gotta ask, would you be willing to help me make some remixes with me? Do you have an email I can contact you at?

@nickcollins9893 3 года назад

But is it possible to use them in sync, like, at the same time? For example, QY100 being a master sequencer and QY70 - a slave sequencer...

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 3 года назад

Yes, check out JayB Live Performance #7 and #10 on my main channel where you can hear both in sync.

@nickcollins9893 3 года назад

@@midifilesanddemosongs1024 ok, got it. So, when both QY100 and QY70 work in sync, 16 tracks are used from both master and slave sequencers, making it 32-track setup?

Have both still using the 100

@ventusmoses3428 10 дней назад

What would say is the better one ?

I had always assumed they were the same size...

@sotirisnikolaidis4835 8 лет назад

make a tutorial for the qy 100 ..its so complicated....thanks

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 8 лет назад

+Sotiris Nikolaidis Check out my main channel "JayB". I've done a pattern tutorial there.

@demofactory 7 лет назад

The QY100 has more features, but the QY70 sounds way better!!! You just ruined my QY100. Now I have to find a QY70 on EBay.

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 7 лет назад

Please pay attention that those patterns were made for the QY70 and certainly sound different on the QY100. There's another video where I do it vice versa. The QY100 has far more realistic sounds, however it's not as "in your face" as the QY70.

@kevinsmallman3116 8 лет назад

Is the line out socket the only audio output for the qy70? What I mean is can I connect the qy70 to a pc with a firewire sound module (Echo Audiofire 2) using midi or 'to host' and then monitor the qy70 by sound played back out from the pc to a hifi system? Sorry, I'm new to audio hardware like this! Would that require special software on my computer?

A little After Burner homage on the Game style... @9:43

@mrburns366 6 лет назад

Slonie it most definitely is! A lot of those old arcade machines used Yamaha FM synth chips.

@MrKeys57 7 лет назад

Aha! these are the QY70 patterns played through the 100?

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 7 лет назад

MrKeys57 yes. I've got another video where it's vice versa.

@MrKeys57 7 лет назад

MIDI files and Demo Songs yes, i have seen that too! thanks for demos, had my 100 for a week now, pretty awesome machine! Levi

@canalilucato 8 лет назад

Hey there, let me ask you. I have a QY100 and the physical volume button on the left seems so powerful, I mean, when I insert an Earphone and turn up the volume after the middle, and starts to play a pattern, the sounds seems to be distorting because it is "too loud". I see on your video the you rise the volume to the maximum and it doesn't distort the sound. I wonder if you using a earphone and put the volume on maximum or after the middle, you hear a distorted sound? Thanks.

@vincizara 8 лет назад

bro can i use this qy-100 or qy70 into a midi player like vanbasco? thanks

@JayBmusic 8 лет назад

You can, if you hook a MIDI interface (preferably USB) in between. Just gotta tell you that the QY100 is sensitive to Bank select commands. Sometimes MIDI files send a bank 0 select on the drums channel which makes the QY to select a piano (or other non-drum instrument) as drums.

@dvvvideo 2 года назад

QY 70 звучит ярче и открыто ,а 100 приглушено . Интересно как выставлены эффекты на конечной обработке .

@ALTARBEATZ 8 лет назад

The 70 is much better in sounds!!

@Vitonolable 7 лет назад

agree, 70 has dirtier sound with more artifacts. 100 is provides bigger room and more techy bouncing imho

@miekwavesoundlab 2 года назад

Do qy70 and qy100 have identical sequencer?

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 2 года назад

Yes. And you can directly transfer songs and patterns from 70 to 100 (with only minor data lost, like pattern tracks in songs).

@woabeatz9717 6 лет назад

Water fall is in the unit?

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 6 лет назад

AWSOMUS LATEST Not really. You have sea shore and stream. You might be able to emulate a waterfall using these and applause.

@woabeatz9717 6 лет назад

MIDI files and Demo Songs -no...i heard the tlc song....waterfalls....

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 6 лет назад

Oh, hehe, yes. QY70 pattern "Smooth 1" is based on the TLC song. You just have to put it together yourself to make it a complete song.

@woabeatz9717 6 лет назад

MIDI files and Demo Songs -3:20 waterfalls song

@AlfredoZauberer 3 года назад

Something is "WRONG" with this comparison! With the QY-70 you are in Pattern Mode! With the QY-100 you are in Song Mode! The Song Mode is the Mode to Mix the Song! The Pattern Mode have more "Direct out" ! And truely i don't understand why NOT both maschines by comparison into the same mode??? Edit: Ah i Understand...you trigger from the QY-70 the QY-100 and send to them the Pattern into a Song! That is NOT a Comparison...that won't work. I my Opinion the QY-70 is more open ...but QY-100 Sounds to quietly, but more Low End more HiFi! Thats while you send the Pattern to Song Mode!

@midifilesanddemosongs1024 3 года назад

The tone generator doesn't care if the MIDI data comes from a pattern or a song. I could also send some MIDI files from the PC to both devices in song mode (a.k.a. the only mode where you can directly communicate with the tone generator). It wouldn't make a single difference. But yes, the QY100 has a warmer more HiFi sound.
