I'm a tremendous Squarepusher fan and I've always been intrigued by the fact that he's done all of his sequencing since roughly 2001 on one of these. He's not doing any of it "in the box", so to speak. The QY700 is the sequencing brain for a whole lot of hardware and his custom Reaktor patches. It's clearly a huge component of his workflow and I imagine part of what enables him to be so musically divergent from everyone else (among his other outstanding qualities).
I'm such a fan (and also an experienced producer) that I've considered buying one and finally teaching myself to use a tracker with one of these.
I have no doubt that he's pushing the limits of what a tracker can do.
For those interested to see what Tom (Squarepusher) is about, here's a hop right into the deep-end for you:
