Update via Loscha in the comments: "One of the finest, most innovative things Yamaha ever made.It's a Tx81z with a basic effects unit, a sequencer, and a clock. Effects have a great gated reverse reverb. Think the "Silent Shout" album by The Knife (a few tracks have a horn-type sound that fades in with rev reverb, you can get that sound down pat easily).
The sound editing on it is intuitive, but, not complete. You can't edit everything, but, it's got a lot of useful Easy Edit parameters. Most useful for quick editing and tone optimization is the ability to change the waveforms of the 4 operators from the panel.
The sequencer has a metronome mode which is quite loud and pervasive. It is added to the mix post volume control. This can be routed to a jack on the side very easily, so that when you put something in the jack it mutes it, or you can route it to another channel. Timing is pretty good the sequencer.
The effects chip has a digital stream in and out, and is thus glitchable, although, I've only done this to mine once or twice. It's too precious to lose to a circuit bending disaster.
I have service manual if anyone needs any questions asker. Although, I should take some internal photos and include instructions on clock out for y'all one day!
Did I mention it has a clock and a calender on it?
