Didn't we just do this two months ago? Budget groove box dropped midweek, pretty stellar feature list for the price, sells out quickly, broken groove box video published within days. In November it was the KO II, this January it's the Yamaha Seqtrak.
It looks like Yamaha means to be a big player with this release. We do a deep feature comparison of the Seqtrak, KO II and OP Z. Three budget groove boxes roughly in the same price range with similar features and it looks like Yamaha has definitely stacked the deck.
Yamaha also appears to have done a really cool thing by providing Seqtrak units to very small channels in different parts of the world. Be sure to check out their videos/channels shown in the outro section.
...and yes, I did order a Seqtrak on release day.
