This was the baby I used, easier than the LED readout models, with a 16 x 2 backlit LCD screen. Plenty of memory, approximately 20,000 notes, 8 separate tracks, which you can switch in and out as it plays..
The QX-5 uses up to 32 'macro functions'..... A macro is like a group track part in Cubase.... simply a reference to a group of notes, such as a drum beat, or hookline... so you can compose in a pattern based way and blend it with linear real-time programming....
Audio click output, punch in/out, auto locate, step recording & edit, FSK sync in/out, tape or midi save/load, assignable foot switch jack, and extensive midi re-channelizing / midi input filtering.
The QX5 can save or load it's data via midi for use with such devices as computers, disk drives such as the MDF-1 (below) or even the DX7IIFD's drive..... a great cheap unit... although the FD version is preferable cos of the disk-drive, although you can load up from your software sequencer before gigs or mixing or whatever.....
