[Guide] How to buy an extra midi adapter for your Seqtrak in the US

How to buy an extra midi adapter for your Yamaha Seqtrak:

  1. Go to https://Yamaha24x7.com and create an account. This is the official parts and service website for Yamaha in the US.
  2. Open the sidebar menu and click "US Consumers"
  3. In the lower two boxes enter VFD34200 and the quantity you want to order. Then click "Add to List". You can ignore the "Contact me" notice under availability.
  4. Scroll down and click "Add to Cart". Complete the checkout process as normal.

It will take about a month to arrive and there's no tracking so keep that in mind.

Good luck, and have fun.

Does anyone else have this issue with a synth key?

So I'm looking to possibly get a replacement for my seqtrak I bought a few weeks ago, because the bottom right synth key is kind of sensitive, and either doesn't play if you press it off center towards the bottom, or stutters if I don't press hard enough, while the other keys don't have this issue. I'm just wondering if this is a common occurrence, because I'd rather not return and replace it if other seqtraks have this issue.

Conexão MIDI/ USB não funciona

Há um tempo eu venho enfrentando esse problema. Tenho um controlador Roland A-49 e eu sempre o utilizava com o Seqtrak via cabo USB-B/ USB-C. Mas eu fui inventar de desbravar algumas configurações no teclado e ele agora só consegue controlar a unidade via cabo MIDI. Alguém sabe como posso tentar resolver esse problema? Pois eu gostava de ter que lidar com apenas um único cabo e agora sempre preciso conectar o cabo USB e o MIDi simultaneamente para funcionar.

Já tentei hard reset mas sem sucesso

Man this little thing can bump

I started off trying to make Progressive Breaks but it ended up being more like an Electro/FL Breaks kind of tune.

Does anyone have any tips for getting really ethereal pads out of this device? I know it's got tons of pads but I find them to often be a bit heavy and thick in the mix. Thanks.

Seqtrak battery: Always plugged in, or unplug when full?

Do you leave your Seqtrak plugged in all the time, or do you unplug it once it's fully charged?

SEQTRAK display thingy

Did some coding on the Retrokits retrovision, thought it might be handy and it’s a lot faster than hooking up my phone app

Best Controller?

I have been using a Novation Launchkey Mini MK2 but am looking to upgrade. Have been leaning toward the MK4 Non-Mini. I see others using the Arturia and Akia controllers...Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are?

Finally got a replacement / substitute MIDI cable

I've never had the MIDI cable, and finally got a replacement last night. Got a USB-C to MIDI cable instead of the original 3.5mm to MIDI IN/OUT

Hooked it up to the keyboard of an old Playstation game.

Tom and Jerry kids theme re-produced on the Yamaha Seqtrak

After Duck Tales, here comes a theme song from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, "Tom and Jerry kids". Took me a while to make it as close to the original as possible.

If you like it, please leave a thumbs-up on YouTube :)

I have a little gift for SeqTRAK / MPK Mini Plus users

Hello - I have been doing a lot of tutorials and walk-throughs on the Yamaha SeqTRAK, and when I do these tutorials - I use my Akai MPK Mini Plus as a controller. I built a template to allow me to more easily access many of the features on the SeqTRAK - the knobs are mapped to be useful and the pads are mapped to the 7 buttons that play the sampler sounds, or the 7 drums in one of the new drum kit tracks. You still need to manually change the channel of the Keys, and will also need to change the channel of the pads if you choose to use them as drums (the template has them mapped to the sampler). But here is the template if you want it - https://www.cap10nrg.com/downloads/MPC/MPKMiniPlus%20SeqTrakCfg.zip

To use this template - unzip and send it to the MPK Mini Plus with the MPK Mini Plus Program Editor (available from https://www.akaipro.com in the inMusic app)

I hope this helps a lot of folks out. If you guys want me to go over it in a video, or to show how I put it together let me know. I have lots of other SeqTRAK videos on my YouTube as well so... Hit me up here or there...

*** I just made a video showing how to set this template up as well as explaining what it does. you can see the video here: https://youtu.be/NXSnOV8_bQo

Auto Page Change During Playback

I may be completely wrong, but I swore that while the seqtrak was playing patterns, it would automatically change pages, but I think I did something and now I have to press the page button even during playback in order to change pages. Is this something that you can toggle, or am I crazy in thinking that it can do this?

Synth Step Sequencer Note Length Question

When I enter a note using the synth step sequencer, then later hold down said note and turn the all button, I'm only able to increase the note length from a 16th note to an 8th note, but I'd like to make the note longer. The only way I've been able to input longer notes is to use the record function. Does anyone know how I can do this from the step sequencer itself?

Also on that note, does anyone know how to change the note length of a note if it extends beyond the bar that it's currently in? I can't even decrease the note length at that point, it seems like it's locked in place.
