Talk:Walkstation

I have removed the QY700 from the list. It's a desktop sequencer, not a walkstation

I removed references to the Yamaha MU range and the HandySound, which are simply tone modules or small electronic keyboards. --Malcohol (talk) 12:46, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I've discovered that the name "walkstation" was part of the QY10's official marketing (see UK ad), I'm considering whether the content of this page should be moved to a more generic page such as Portable Music Workstation or Handheld Music Workstation. The device category is more deserving of a page than the term itself. There could be a subsection of that page on the term, and Walkstation would redirect there. --Malcohol (talk) 13:43, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can find some support for the claim that these devices constitute a genuine device category from the SOS PMA-5 review: "[The] products filled a niche that no-one knew existed, and in Yamaha's case, the company created a new category of musical instrument -- the mobile musical notepad."--Malcohol (talk) 13:55, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Another thing to consider is how to contrast these devices with grooveboxes.
