Vintage Synths: Yamaha QY8 (Performed by Penthouse Zen)

COVER ON DATASTREAM - "SKYLINE TRAIL"
A style sequencer that allows users to enter notes onto the grand staff displayed on the LCD screen. Users use their thumbs to navigate through the interface much like a game console.
The QY8 is equipped with 50 distinct QY Styles, each with six sections, including intro, fill and ending. Creating performance data is as easy as selecting chords and styles, and entering melodies and other notes onto the grand staff on the screen. / Yamaha.com /

I never saw one of these in person, but I have owned a QY10, 20, and 70. Great little machines.

This could perfectly be a Sega portable console.

I thought it was a Sega Game Gear for a microsecond 😅
