Last year, Yamaha made waves in the music industry with the introduction of the YC61 performance keyboard, a groundbreaking addition to their lineup. Building on the success of the YC61, Yamaha has now expanded the series with the launch of two new models: the YC73 and YC88, featuring 73 keys and 88 keys respectively.
These new stage keyboards from Yamaha boast cutting-edge technology, including Virtual Circuit Modelling (VCM) that accurately reproduces the response of an organ. The YC73 and YC88 come equipped with a diverse selection of vintage piano sounds, modern synth tones, and a range of acoustic and electric piano models thanks to the AWM technology incorporated into the keyboards.
With the YC73 and YC88, musicians have access to a wide array of sounds, including strings, brass, and both analogue and FM synthesis. The keyboards also feature two effects sections for added versatility and creativity in sound design.
On the organ side, the YC73 and YC88 keyboards offer nine drawbars for precise tonal control, along with dedicated buttons for adjusting percussion and vibrato settings. Users can split the organ and keys sections to play two different patches simultaneously, providing flexibility for live performances.
For those who prefer the feel of an acoustic piano, the YC88 model is equipped with natural wood keys that feature triple-sensor action and ivory key tops, delivering an authentic playing experience. On the other hand, the YC73 is designed as a versatile all-rounder, featuring balanced keys that cater to a wide range of musical styles.
Moreover, musicians have the option to connect an additional MIDI keyboard to the YC73 or YC88, enabling a two-keyboard setup for enhanced performance capabilities. This feature opens up new creative possibilities for musicians looking to expand their sonic palette and experiment with different playing techniques.
Overall, Yamaha’s YC73 and YC88 stage keyboards offer a blend of traditional and modern sounds, advanced technology, and intuitive controls, making them ideal instruments for both live performances and studio recordings. Musicians can explore a rich variety of tones and textures, thanks to the innovative features and high-quality construction of these new additions to Yamaha’s keyboard lineup.
