The Yamaha YC88 packs all the character of vintage combo organs and more into a gig-friendly, compact 88-key stage piano. Using Yamaha’s proprietary Virtual Circuit Modeling, the YC88 is one of the most lifelike-sounding analog organ emulations on the market, and it comes stocked with a large selection of additional instrument voices and killer onboard effects. Designed to please discerning pianists, the YC88 is ideal for today’s performing keyboardists who prefer to run the show from one fully weighted piano keyboard. The YC88’s triple-sensor hammer-action keybed and physical drawbars are highly responsive and rewarding to play and manipulate. While the YC88 is vintage in character, it boasts all the functionality and reliability of a modern digital instrument, with vast customization options and computer audio integration for audio recording, playback, and MIDI control.

There are two guys whose keyboard demonstration I really like the most: Yours and the ones of Jordan Rudess. 👍👍 Question: If you had to choose between the YC88 and the Korg Nautilus, which one would you decide for?

@paulmapp8306 3 года назад

My main question - can I assign the 4 different "engines" to 4 different midi channels? can I split the keyboard and transmit over multiple midi channels? Thats what I do on my RD2000 - and have control of those external sources as well as controlling the RD via my synth board (for organs). Without that "control" aspect if doesnt matter how good the sounds are (and the organ is definitely better than the RDs). Im guessing this isnt flexible enough in that regard for my needs unfortunaterly.

What a great tool for a student studying orchestration 🤗🙏🏽👍🏾

@martonandorka Год назад

No it is not. It is exactly the opposite :) If you want to learn orchestration, you don't need any tools for that only books and/or a teacher. If you want to hear back your ideas, use a notation software with any virtual instrument packages, but this keyboard is for professionals, not for students. It would be the biggest overkill for them.

@PeterReesvan 2 года назад

Looking for a substitute for my aging s80, the yc seems to fit the bill. But does it have presets and quick access to them? That is really essential in a gigging situation.

@sweetwater 2 года назад

Hi, Peter! Thanks for the interest. Yes, the YC keyboards have the ability to store and recall presets. Yamaha calls these "Live Sets" in their official nomenclature. There are 8 buttons corresponding to Live Sets right in the center of the control panel underneath the screen, and those buttons have 20 banks for a total of 160 possible presets.

@stan5585 3 года назад

Nicely done. I can understand an all in one board for gigging, but i think Yamaha needs to fix the issues with the CP version first. They seemed to rush the CP88, and CP73 out to market only to have many returned with key, patch, knob, setting glitches. For the price, hopefully the YC versions involved a more thorough approach.

@zivkovicable 2 года назад

I returned my faulty CP 88 only yesterday, & ordered the YC 88 as a replacement. The CP started glitching during a gig which was a nightmare.

@SonOfInfernum 2 года назад

@@zivkovicable I returned my CP88 twice. First because some keys were making a clicky noise on release, and then because the built in reverb had a horrible white noise in the high frequencies. Got a rd2000 instead. The pianos sound more clinical/artificial, but perfect keybed and no weird glitch.

The leslie emulation comes up short for me. Nord still wins in that department. I do like the lower and upper split function for organ though. That’s very cool. Does this board allow you to split and layer at the same time? How many layers can we have? For instance can we layer each section together plus effects?

@sweetwater 3 года назад

Hi, Seljoy. Great questions! The Key A/Key B sections allow you to select a Voice for each Key from the four categories of Piano, Electric Piano, Synth, and Other. Furthermore, EG, FILTER, and two Insert Effects can be set individually for each of the Key A and Key B Sections. You can also make sound layers or splits, using both Key A and Key B Sections simultaneously. You can have two layers total. Let us know if you have any other questions.

@sweetwater 3 года назад

Hello! Yes, you certainly can! This is a bit of an advanced feature, but page 60 of the manual takes you into the full MIDI CC list, referring to the CC numbers each drawbar will send commands to: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/1376845/yc88_yc73_en_om_a0.pdf You can use these with a keyboard, sound module, or DAW that is able to receive MIDI CCs and control specific commands.

@GavinMcCloy 3 года назад

as a MODX owner, what does this have that the MODX does not? apart from the drawbar control? or is it just a recycled MODX to look a bit like a nord with drawbars and perhaps better key action?

@sweetwater 3 года назад

Hello! The MODX (and its big brother the Montage) are workstation keyboards, intended for musical composition with lots of effects, a track sequencer, and a ton of sound options. The YC is more similar to Yamaha's CP88 stage piano, which focuses on fewer sound options, loses the sequencer, and gives you most of the controls to modify or layer sounds at your fingertips, rather than through a touchscreen menu. Stage pianos are designed to be ideal for people playing live, who need to be able to make quick changes between songs on the fly. The CP series is a piano focused stage instrument, and the YC is a variant made specifically for organ players, who prefer physical drawbars (and in the case of the YC73, the waterfall keybed rather than weighted piano keys). If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below. Thanks for your interest! Nick LaMendola, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1660, nick_lamendola@sweetwater.com

@GavinMcCloy 3 года назад

@@sweetwater thanks Nick! good answer, I'm not sure if you feel the same recently, it's not just yamaha but a whole lot of other leading keyboard manufacurers that seem to be basically cloning parts of other legacy synths or keyboards and putting those sounds into other newly branded models, they just change a few things but under the hood the synth engine is basically the same with a little bit of change here and there, the MOXF to the MODX to the Montage is a good example, I went from MOXF to MODX and sure, the DX addition was good amongst other additions, but had the same AWM2 engine with a couple of extra effects, they basically installed a MOXF fired an FM engine in there and a few other bits and bobs, then called it a new synth, I also recently purchased a Yamaha CLP - yet again it has CPX piano etc - I'm just disappointed they don't work hard at engineering and producing a totally new sounding product instead of this recycling behaviour, roland have been doing it also way back when the sound canvas was out right up till now, they did add on the V Piano elements to some machines though which was good, Korg also I've owned many that have the Ai2 engine, a lot of recycling done yet again, would love a breath of fresh air from somewhere, really. :( if you've any recommendations to look at synth or keyboard wise I'm all ears! :) until then I've went for keyscape which im blown away with and PianoTEQ and Kontakt, can't believe some of the sounds, they are like night and day compared to most synths. very realistic and warm and much more character.

@okay1904 Год назад

The concept is great, and the keyboard looks superb. Just not sure about the sounds, adequate, but nothing earth shaking. Can be trusted to be a reliable gigging keyboard - its a Yamaha. Looks like Yamaha was a bit conservative in the sound modelling - not wishing to stray to far. The electric pianos are the standout sounds., and the one knob/slider/button per function is fantastic. Super controller keyboard and the touch should be nothing to complain about. If I had a lot of spare cash, would own one. The concept is great... Very good user interface - thanks to Nord for over a decade of setting the pace.

@Razerblue6 Год назад

Pretty much almost all same sounds as the MOTIF XF/XS and those were from 2007~2010... I'd say they didn't age that well personally, especially after having heard them for so long Really at this point I'd just want a MODX in a more compact, less bulky form factor + weighted 73 keys variant like a YC73 lol

@prince.suryaprakash 3 года назад

Hi Sweetwater, excluding the organ, you can only have 2 layers A and B... is that correct ?

@sweetwater 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for your interest! That's right, you can layer two sounds together by turning on Key A and B at the same time. However, since there are only three voice sections - the organ, Key A, and Key B - you can't combine more than three sounds at one time on the YC series. For more details, take a look at Yamaha's user manual here: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/1376845/yc88_yc73_en_om_a0.pdf Feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks again!

@wakerickman 3 года назад

um, why would you need compression on an organ sound, compression is used to even out the quite and loud levels of a sound keeping the level equel. ie agc [ automatic gain control ] this effect is more suited to vocals as the vocalist often mooves near and far from the mic needing compression to keep the level the same. but as an organ normaly always has same level then compression would be not required. also you might need compression on guitar, bass, drums as these instraments can vary in level, perticuarly if you want extra sustain on guitar, but for organ in my opinion compression is not required. or am i missing something here ? cheers

Hello! Great question - Yamaha hasn't published an official spec for the amount of internal memory that the YC series has. That being said, the keyboard comes with 160 Live Set Sounds, 80 of which come preset from the factory and the other 80 can be edited freely. Additionally, with the free Yamaha Soundmondo app, you can store nearly unlimited User sounds in the cloud and download thousands from other users, too. Plus, you can store a Backup file at any time to USB flash drive; this will allow you to archive endless numbers of Live Sets for use as desired.
