Released in 1983, the Yamaha QX1 was a groundbreaking digital MIDI sequencer that redefined music production. With eight-track MIDI sequencing and floppy disk storage, it offered unprecedented capabilities for its time, enabling users to create, save, and recall complex compositions.

The QX1 supported both real-time and step-time recording, with advanced editing tools like quantization and velocity adjustment. Its durable metal design housed a straightforward LED interface, reflecting Yamahas commitment to professional-grade equipment.

Despite being bulky and expensive, the QX1 set a new standard in MIDI technology, influencing the development of future sequencers. Likely manufactured in Japan, it remains a historic milestone in the evolution of digital music production.
