"The Yamaha QX1 is one of the most advanced and rare digital sequencers from the early 1980s, designed for professional studio use.

It features eight independent MIDI tracks, precise timing, and an exceptionally stable clock, making it a benchmark in early MIDI sequencing. Even today, it is valued for its reliability and straightforward, hands-on workflow.

The unit has passed all standard system tests, including a fully functional floppy drive.

Very good cosmetic condition: one small dent on the front panel (see photos) and a few minor scratches.

The display glass and screen are perfect, as are the keyboard and keypad.

Internally clean, with capacitors in excellent condition and very limited use over time.

Includes two floppy disks as a bonus.

A rare, well-preserved, and fully working piece of gear."
