I have the YC61 + CP88 and this is as close to the perfect gigging rig that I’ve used. Love these boards and hope Yamaha keep improving them with future firmware updates 😊

@madness8556 Год назад

That's a great set up. You've got the weighted action for pianos and EPs and the unweighted action for the organ and synth sounds.

@ispianist Год назад

I have a similar set up. I have the CP88 and the nord electro 6D 73 keys.

@muzkmn36 Год назад

That is my goal as well. I’m a CP fan for years. The CP 88 is the first step, then the YC 61. Using the YC sounds or incorporating other iPad apps or VSTs is simply ideal.

I love my YC 88 it has alot of incredible sounds and the organ part is amazing. I gigged with a B3 back in the 70s great organ, I wished the YC 88 was around back then. I can finally go to with one board now

@furiobisotti8150 Год назад

I bought an YC73 ten days ago. Programming drawbars to drive your Hammond VST is extremely easy. I use GigPerformer (strongly suggested) as VST host on a MacBookPro. It has a midi monitor. So moving your physical drawbars you get on screen the CC number used by Yamaha keyboard. Then you can map those CC to control Hammond 3BX. It's a job of 3 minutes... I don't know on iPad but I think B3X can do exactly the same

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Awesome and thank you for the helpful info!!

@samnixon6198 Год назад

I watched several of your previous vids before ordering my YC61 in November. Kudos for this great “year later” update. FWIW, I use my YC in a two board setup w/the Yammie on the top, hammer weight 88 controller (old Alesis Q8.1 (Fatar)) on the bottom. I’ve created several live sets that are killer for my work. Good stuff! Thus far, I’ve only used mine for studio work and practice. Like you, a “heavy” player of acoustic pianos in my youth (uprights, grands) but also Rhodes, Wurly, B3 and early synths. For my current gig, I play more organ than piano but for me, feel is critical for Piano/EP!! As happy as I am with the setup, it’s a lot of “stuff” to move around so I’ve thought about trading the 61 for the 88 and ditching the 48lb 88 but concerned about losing too much of organ feel. PS - agree that the 5-pin MIDI out, USB/iOS integration, and the easy per patch tweaking of sounds are all killer features of the YC series!

I'm waiting on my YC 61 to be delivered. I did dig how Nord did the crossfade on split points. But the YC background noise giving the Leslie horn that air sound, seems like the best. You do an amazing job on your reviews. I had a CP 88. I'm a wimp. Too heavy especially cramming in 2 solo gigs a day.

@robertcarhartjr6234 Год назад

I’ve had the YC61 for awhile now, and it’s become the desert island keeper; if I had to sell all but one, the YC stays. I’ll soon try out the iOS integration for myself to add a little extra flavor, but regardless, there seems to be much more under the hood than I expected. I appreciate the various videos you’ve put out demonstrating some of the lesser known features of this amazingly versatile board.

@andreacosta74 Год назад

and what about the key trigger point with the YC61 waterfall keybed?

@Dannytyrellstudios 11 месяцев назад

Brilliant

@dpothaar Год назад

steve, thanks for your in depth coverage of the YC. I bought the YC61 sight-unseen, largely because of how you went under the hood... and clearly demonstrate how this board checks all the boxes. This is an amazing board. For B3 sounds, I use the E2 narrow band comp/EQ to cut the 2K frequencies (quite aggressively) .... and I use the master EQ to boost 250-280 hz to fatten the low mids. Having recorded A100s and B3s through L145s and L122s, I can say that with this tweak, the YC just sounds perfect. My hope is that Yamaha puts a detailed EQ into the rotary speaker section (with a better out-of-the-box setting) in a future update in order to free up the FX section.... and also for the keyboardists who may not have the technical know-how. I'm curious to know if you also use the E2 on organ sounds...

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Heh Daniel, great suggestion! Im using the Narrow band EQ to cut the same frees but your right, I really wish Yamaha would add a bit more comprehensive EQ as an FX to free up the Master EQ. The wide and narrow bands work great but it would be nice to have at least a 3-4 band to zero in on specific frequencies for sure!

@darrylday30 Год назад

Thanks for the vid. I found it very helpful. My MOFX 61 acts as my audio interface and I assumed the YC would do the same. Maybe a future firmware update can fix this? Perhaps this is a hardware limitation. Either way, the YC is a winner in terms of ease of use for live playing. 61 vs 73 keys is the final decision in my case. I’m really looking forward to leaving menu diving behind and just playing great sounds.

@artie218 Год назад

Best YAMAHA YC88 review I have seen so far? Anyone better? Let me know.

@PatMaddox Год назад

This is awesome, thank you so much for putting these vids together. So what’s your verdict on playing organ on it? I play on acoustic pianos most of the time and am looking to add organ to the mix. So, YC88 looks great to me. I doubt I will get to a point where I need that super fast retrigger you demonstrated but you never know. Do you feel satisfied playing organ on this, or do you ever feel like you had a faster / lighter keybed for it? I like the idea of having one keyboard in my setup, but don’t want to find myself wishing I had gotten a CP88 + dedicated organ board instead.

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Im a piano player that mostly that wanted to add organ to my live setup without adding another controller and the YC88 has been the perfect for me but I'm a pretty heavy handed player. If you play mostly organ, the 61 has the better keybed for sure.

@acimmusicvideos4717 Год назад

Thanks for this video, I've been having some trouble getting a good live piano out of my YC. This video was helpful on so many levels. One Thing- What amp do you use live for your YC?

@josua2517 8 месяцев назад

Great review !! 5:40 Can you use that single cable to transfer midi, audio and charge at the same time or do you use a USB hub on the iPad ?

If you want to charge it as well then you have to use a powered hub. Although, my iPad battery is pretty robust, many times longer than any gig, service, or session for sure.

Its actually not a iPad stand at all, its just the top tier of my Ultimate Support Apex stand and the rubber pads on the top of the bracket hold it in place pretty well. If I was bouncing around more, I might have to get a more secure mount

@SD-ff1je Год назад

Thank you for the video. How have you found the physical reliability of the 88, knobs, switches et al?

@rickkeys Год назад

What do you use for amplification for the YC on stage? I assume some kind of stereo arrangement. What do you recommend? Thank you for your great and helpful videos.

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Heh Rick, I use 2 Mackie thumps in front of me left and right of the YC88. I have a small 3 space rack before the Mackie's that has a mixer, dual EQ, and Mic pre as the Mackie's are my on stage vocal monitors. This way everything is self contained and I dont need to depend on the sound crew for my personal sound.

@_classic_rob_ Год назад

My only fit to throw is that the midi recording is set to 44.1KHZ and there is no way to change it. I ended up hi-jacking a protools project to 44.1KHZ instead of 48KHZ and it cannot be changed without calling support.

@jordanwatkins1220 9 месяцев назад

Hi, thank you for the in depth video. Can I ask what your experience is with taking this keyboard in the car and/or on flights? I'm having trouble deciding between this and the yc73 because of portability issue! Thanks.

@Featherlightstudio 9 месяцев назад

Well, like all keyboards in this category (fully weighted/graded action) its a bit heavy for sure, but they all are ( Roland, Nord, Kurzweil) Thats also what makes them fun to play. However, the 28lb YC73 is considerably lighter than the 41lb YC88, add about 20lbs more with a Gator style case ( much more with an ATA case) and things get heavy quick if your touring or flying.

Great review thanks! I have the CP88 so decided to go with YC73 for a change of keybed and size. Curious if you’ve tried the YC73? It’s lovely with acoustic pianos, perfect for electric pianos, and just good enough for organ. Seems like a gigging keyboardists dream! 30lb keyboard of doom….lol. Great video.

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Thanks Andrew, The YC73 was my first choice but then I demo'ed all three at a music store and the YC88 won me over from a piano players perspective. But It was a tough choice, the YC73 is a much better balance for covering all types of keyboard sounds.

@RikMaxSpeed Год назад

I went for the YC73, much more giggable, has the lighter touch high key trigger point for organ sounds too.

@moogy77 Год назад

@alexanderyozzo Год назад

YC88 owner here, it's great. Only downside I can think, the organ sounds are not amazing. Once I got the Hammond SK Pro, there was no comparison on organ sounds. But as far as piano's, EPs, strings, even a lot of synths surprisingly, and stuff like flute, the YC88 is a beast. The weighted keys shine for this. The A/B engines are amazing. And I just learned more features from another video on this channel, about how to 'lock' the effects in place, as you cycle through presets, which sounds amazing and kind of Nord-ish

@berkut6313 Год назад

Very interesting, but may I ask, if you keep a full 19’ rack hooked up to the YC, what is it the YC is NOT providing you with ? Asking this since I’m moving from a master keyboard and a racky style of set-up to an all-in-one keyboard and the said master keyboard. I ruled out Nord for its sheer price, but I’m still considering the YC-73 against a fully-fledged workstation, most likely a Fantom-6 or 7.

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

The external rack has more to do with the specific gig and less to do with the keyboard's ability. On the gig that used the rack, I was the music director for a large theater production that had all the shows sound FX and off stage ambient cues loaded into sampler modules. This was everything from additional vocals to foley and even music tracks. All of these were controlled from the different YC88 zones on different MIDI channels in real time as the actors cues came up for each scene.

@islandtony5009 Год назад

Great video! Hey I just started playing in a band, and looking for a stage keyboard that will be a bit more versatile than my P-125 and was looking at the new CK series (much less $ than the YC); you mentioned DI boxes aren't needed since you have XLR - when do I need a DI box if I have L/R 1/4" line outs? Does the DI just clean up the signal for a long cable since it's balanced? (Sorry, newbie here)

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Heh Tony, yeah the D.I. box converts Hi-Z signal (1/4 inch cable, guitar cable, ect) to a balanced lower Ohm signal that can travel greater distance with low noise, unlike 1/4 cables. The CK isn't really a cheaper YC, its not the same audio engines. Its actually a bigger version of the 'Reface' line. Great value for sure but not part of the YC stuff.

@islandtony5009 Год назад

@@Featherlightstudio Cool thanks for that! So with my old guy band ;) I've been back and forth between my P-125 piano and my PSR-EW425 keyboard; the 125 is far better for piano stuff, but the PSR has alot more choice for organ patches, rotary knobs etc. I just tried the CK61 in store it has some new Yamaha "FSB" action that felt much more "piano playable" than the 425. That would still be a pretty big upgrade for me wouldn't it? (Take the place of the 125 and the PSR?)

@evankolpack 8 месяцев назад

If you change a patch while you're trying to sustain notes on the previous patch, does it cut off the sound as soon as the new patch is loaded? That drives me nuts. The Korg Kronos and new Nord Stage 4 are the only boards (I'm aware of) that allow you to keto sustaining notes through a patch change.

@Featherlightstudio 8 месяцев назад

The YC is wonderful in that regard. You can have complex layers going with the hold pedal and switch to another Live Set and there is no cut off in sound just like the Nord.

@wieselt 11 месяцев назад

Can the three sound parts (organ and key a and key b) be mapped to different MIDI Channels and set to “Local Off” independently? I would love to use the YC’s Piano and EPiano sounds via MIDI from my (sound wise outdated) Korg SV1 (I still love its hammer keybed) and play the organ on the YC61 waterfall keybed.

@Featherlightstudio 11 месяцев назад

While each sound engine can be set to respond to internal or external or off MIDI info, the YC series is not truly multitimbral like a sound module would be. However, the onboard Master keyboard zones functions can do all that easily in the other direction. Using the YC as the Master, you have up to 4 fully programable zones of ext MIDI control.

@wieselt 11 месяцев назад

@@Featherlightstudio thanks for the quick and helpful response. I wonder if multimode would be an interesting feature to be implemented in an upcoming firmware update. Should not be too difficult to program… so far it looks like the YC will have to replace the SV1 then (in this case, YC61 with waterfall keybed is not an option).

@AG-cg7lk 3 месяца назад

There seems to be a real lack of waterfall key midi controllers. I have the yc88. Any recommendations for a 61 key controller that would be a good choice for organ smears etc to use as a second tier?

Thank you for this review. I am currently in a Rock ‘n’ Roll band and I am playing a Roland VR 730. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with this keyboard and I’m looking to upgrade. I have considered the Yamaha YC series. Since I am a piano player at heart, I was considering the YC 88, however, I was not crazy about the 40 pound plus weight of this keyboard. I was strongly considering the YC 73, but I am wondering if I would like the keybed and action of this model. Can you please give me your thoughts and recommendations regarding the comparison between the YC 73 and YC 88 in terms of the keybed, action, and playability?

@Featherlightstudio Год назад

Both the YC88 and the 73 are surprising playable from a piano players point of view and I didn't really get that until I played both side by side in a music store. If there is anyway you do that, it really helps to narrow down your search. Obviously the YC88 is geared towards piano players, with the graded key bed but the YC73 is still pretty solid feeling and covers a lot more ground when playing other sounds.

@jhn1987 Год назад

@@Featherlightstudio Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, there is no local music store that carries these keyboards. In my band, I play a fair amount of organ and electric piano so the YC 73 may be better for that.

@Featherlightstudio 6 месяцев назад

I feel your frustration. I tried a bunch as well and found in the end that powered speakers in general were pretty hard to use unless they had at least a 3 band EQ built into them. Problem is not many do anymore. Mostly 'sound contours' or presets which rarely give you enough control over your live sound. This is why I also use a 15 band stereo EQ in my keys rack BEFORE the signal goes out to my 2 powered monitors. Much more control.

KISS - Keep it simple stupid! I love how you've simplified your keyboard rig down to just one keyboard that can do it all! I've done the same thing with my Yamaha Montage 8 (would love to get the M8x someday). I just have 1 keyboard that does it all, including any customized sequencing(via Pro Tools-DAW), ARPs, sample libraries, etc. I used to have two synths in the past, but I love the simplicity of using just a single keyboard that can do everything that 10 keyboards could do. If I had to choose, I'd take the YC (OS 1.3) over the Nord Stage 4 any day of the week. The price value on the YC is much better, since it's literally $1000's of dollars less. The YC's Hamburg Steinway can be tweaked to sound every bit as good as the White Grand Steinway on the Nord, plus the CFX, C7, Imperial, etc on the YC are awesome ... Yamaha are on par with the Nord and other high end sample based pianos they way they sample, the quality of their pianos. The YC organs are on par as well. If anything, I find they sound more natural like an actual B3 than the Nord.
