Produkt registrering

Designed for gigging keyboardists, the YC Series features a newly designed Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) Organ engine with physical drawbars, extensive real-time control and authentic Acoustic/Electric Piano and FM synth sound. With three models to choose from, there’s a YC stage keyboard for every stage and every player.

SOUND

When it comes to versatility, YC is a virtuoso. Featuring premium keyboard sound with more possibilities than ever. Choose from authentic Yamaha grand/upright pianos, electric pianos and keyboards to a tonewheel organ with rotary speaker, synths, acoustic sounds and more. Our proprietary VCM recreates the circuits of vintage analog EQs, compressors and phasers right down to the transistors and resistors to capture the subtleties other digital simulations can’t. It’s like having an incredible sounding keyboard with everything, to go.

VCM ORGAN

How do you reproduce the warm, authentic sound of an organ in a stage keyboard? You build an organ engine the Yamaha way, from the ground up. Yamaha puts your favorite classic organ sounds in one powerful, stage keyboard. YC models three organ vintages - just out of the box, well-traveled and character-rich vintage. Need more? Go under the hood to adjust key click, leakage, rotary speaker speed and more to get the one-of-a-kind organ tone you've been searching for.

VCM ROTARY SPEAKER

YC brings you the authentic sounds of classic rotary speakers with no maintenance required. Choose from two faithfully modeled rotary speaker profiles - warm and full or dirty and aggressive - and adjust top or bottom rotor speed for total control.

[New to OS v1.2]

Based on your feedback, we’ve added a new “Studio” Rotary Speaker, featuring a wider stereo field, increased low rotor and high horn separation, as well as an increased presence to cut through mixes.

VCM EFFECTS

VCM re-creates the sound and behavior of vintage effects and high-end studio signal processors by modeling the circuits down to the original analog component level.

FM ORGAN

In 1983, Yamaha introduced the iconic sounds of FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis to the world with the launch of the synthesizer DX7. Now YC brings FM synthesis to the organ for a new generation of players. Simply switch to FM Organ and your drawbars control 8 FM Operators that send a pure sound with massive low end. Add rotary speaker or amp sim effects for character and vibe. Intuitive controls make it easy to discover new sounds. Or recreate classic transistor organ tones from warm to reedy to buzzy by choosing one of three popular FM Organ modes.

[New to OS v1.2]

Helping to broaden your creativity are three new FM organ types – titled F4, F5, and F6. These delve deeper into FM synthesis by adding modulators – or operators – that add upper harmonics to carriers, yet do not sound. The user interface of drawbars, coupled with modulators, create vastly new approaches to the traditional drawbar organ experience, bringing the traditional drawbar concept into the 21st century.

TOUCH

At Yamaha, we put everything we’ve learned over the last 100 years into everything you touch. Whether you prefer the natural feel of a graded acoustic piano, the balanced touch of an electric piano or a waterfall keyboard with authentic organ action, there’s a YC that’s right for you. It’s no wonder more players reach for Yamaha keyboards than any other.

YC61 WATERFALL KEYBOARD

The authentic Waterfall keyboard action of the YC61 was created by painstaking research into traditional organ keyboards and constant feedback from top keyboard artists. The result is a keyboard that not only provides the distinctive touch of an organ, it gives artists new ways to express themselves on acoustic and electric pianos, synth leads, brass sections and more.

YC73 BALANCED ELECTRIC PIANO ACTION

YC73 has a weighted and balanced action that models the unmistakable feel of an electric piano. With an E-to-E keyboard and a touch that falls between graded acoustic piano and authentic organ action, it’s quite possibly the most versatile YC of all.

YC88 NATURAL WOOD WITH TRIPLE SENSOR ACTION

The natural wood keys and graded action of the YC88 reproduce the weight and response of a grand piano right down to the feel of the heavy or light hammers in the low and high ends. YC88 also features a triple sensor action for pianists accustomed to the response and speed of grand pianos. You get the touch of a Yamaha acoustic piano with the unmatched versatility of the YC.

DESIGN

YC Keyboards aren’t just designed to be played. They’re made to be bumped, jostled, scratched, crammed in a van, stuffed in an overhead bin and adored by players and fans, gig after gig. In short, they’re built to last, like the company that stands behind them.

DRAWBARS

The nine drawbars on the YC have the footages and ratcheting you expect in an organ. But there’s more to our drawbars than meets the eye. See-through drawbar stops with customizable LED light color make it easy to see differences between simulated upper and lower configurations and play in split mode. It’s like having a virtual set of drawbars to give you more sounds, more flexibility and more choices than you ever thought possible in a stage keyboard.

DIRECT, IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL SOUND CONTROL

YC is made for long jams, not long menus. The intuitive interface gives you fast and easy splits, layers and sound-shaping directly from the front panel. Proving that versatility doesn’t have to be complex.

MOBILITET

YC88 veier 18.6 kg (41 lb, 0 oz), YC73 er 13,4 kg (29 lb, 9 oz) og YC61 er utrolige 7,1 kg (15 pounds, 10 oz). Det gjør dem kompakte og lette nok til at du kan være din egen roadie. Men med en lyd som selv musikere som har råd til roadies vil sette pris på.

SOFT CASE

Before you rock, roll. The optional YC soft case features a premium design and zippered compartments for storing pedals and other accessories.

COMPUTER/iOS

YC features a built-in USB stereo audio and MIDI interface for Mac, PC and iOS devices. With a single USB cable, you can record the YC audio and MIDI to a DAW and play and monitor virtual instruments.

Yamaha premium acoustic grand pianos

YC-serien har to førsteklasses konsertflygler: Yamaha CFX og Yamaha S700. Disse pianoene sørger for et helhetlig dynamisk uttrykk og nyanse gjennom nøyaktig opptak og stemmegivning.

CFX

Etter over 17 års utvikling, er Yamaha CFX vårt beste 9-fots konsertflygel. Den tilbyr gnistrende høytoner, kraftig bass med et utrolig dynamisk spenn og styrken som kreves for å trenge gjennom et helt symfoniorkester.

S700

S700 er laget av Yamahas dyktigste håndverkere og er et håndlaget akustisk flygel som kan trenge gjennom tette arrangementer, samtidig som den er uttrykksfull i solopartier. S700 er kjent fra blant annet S90 ES scenesynthesizer og MOTIF ES musikkproduksjonssynthesizer, og er fortsatt en av de mest populære flygellydene i dag.

Yamaha C7 har æren av å være det mest innspilte flygelet i musikkhistorien. Signaturlyden skjærer ikke bare gjennom tette mikser for å passe godt med all type musikk som krever et lyst piano, C7 er også utrolig uttrykksfull på de myke tonene.

NASHVILLE C3 [OS v1.1]

Nashville C3 er et lite, men karakteristisk flygel som ble utviklet i samarbeid med våre team for lyddesign og artistrelasjoner. Flygelet ble spilt inn i våre Yamaha Entertainment Group Studios og behandlet med ekte analogt bånd for å gi det et spesielt preg og en unik personlighet.

LIVE CF3 [OS v1.1]

Den klassiske CF3-lyden fra Yamaha CP300-scenepianoet er godt kjent blant profesjonelle musikere. Den passer utmerket til både pop- og gospelmusikk, og gir den fyldige lyden man ønsker seg.

CFX2 [OS v2.0]

Lyden av CFX2-flygelet gir deg enda mer uttrykksfullhet, resonans og en utvidet dynamisk rekkevidde.

Electric pianos & keyboards

REAL FM ELECTRIC PIANOS

Powered by the same technology that made the DX7 famous, YC Series features real 8-operator FM synthesis for full dynamic and expression that can’t be reproduced with samples.

Yamaha CP80

Yamaha introduced the CP80 and CP70 electric grand pianos in 1978 to give musicians “portable” (It weighed over 300 pounds/130 kg!) grand piano sound that could cut through a live band. Now, the strength of the CP80 lives on in the CP73 and CP88 with a powerful sound that does for the piano what amplification did for guitar.

78 RD

Suitable for all music genres, the 78 Rd tine electric piano boasts a high quality, smooth sound—great for pairing with effects like chorus, delay and reverb.

75 RD

If you’re after a distinctive vibe with plenty of character, look no further than the 75 Rd. Its dirty, funkier sound with a nice low end “bark” works great for playing leads and parts requiring a more rhythmic approach.

73 RD

The 73 Rd is a warm tine electric piano Voice with vintage vibe. This piano works nicely with ballads, early 70s fusion, Neo Soul or any time you need to support a singer or lead instrument.

73 RD STUDIO [OS v1.1]

This 1973 studio tine electric piano features smooth, warm tones, perfect for laying down chord beds in ballads, jazz and R&B.

74 RD STAGE [OS v1.1]

Another option when looking for something more aggressive, this bright electric stage piano works well for soloing or more syncopated rhythm parts.

With vintage and modern versions, the Wr reed electric piano voice is a staple of multiple genres from rock to soul. The YC Wr electric piano Voice provides three options (“Warm”, “Bright” and “Wide”) so you can match the sound to the musical setting.

Yamaha organ

VCM-orgel

Yamaha samler dine klassiske favoritt-orgellyder i et kraftig og kompakt stagekeyboard. YC-modellen gjengir tre typer vintage-orgellyder, rett ut av esken, velbrukt og karakterrik vintage. Trenger du mer? Gå under overflaten for å justere tangentklikk, lekkasje, hastigheten på rotasjonshøyttaleren og mer for å finne den unike orgellyden du har lett etter.

FM-ORGEL

I 1983 introduserte Yamaha de ikoniske lydene fra FM-syntese (frekvensmodulasjon) til verden med lanseringen av synthesizeren DX7. Nå bringer YC-serien FM-syntese til orgelet for en ny generasjon med musikere. Bare bytt til FM-orgel, og dine lydkontrollspaker styrer 8 FM-operatører som sender ut en ren lyd med massiv bunn. Legg til rotasjonshøyttaler- eller effekter for forsterkersimulering for karakter og stemning. Intuitive kontroller gjør det enkelt å oppdage nye lyder. Eller gjenopprett klassiske lyder fra transistororgel, fra varme til tangentinstrumentlyd til buzzende, ved å velge en av de tre populære FM orgel-modusene.

[Ny i OS v1.2]

For å utvide kreativiteten din, er det tre nye FM-orgeltyper som heter F4, F5 og F6. Disse går dypere inn i FM-syntese ved å legge til modulatorer eller operatører som tilfører øvre harmoniske til bærerne, uten å produsere egen lyd. Brukergrensesnittet med lydspaker kombinert med modulatorer, skaper nye tilnærminger til den tradisjonelle orgelopplevelsen med lydspaker og bringer det klassiske lydspak-konseptet inn i det 21. århundre.

[Ny i OS v1.4]

Det nye H4-orglet tilfører et nytt uttrykk til YC-seriens orgelseksjon. H4 har flere mellomtoner og bunn, med en mørkere og bredere klang som er flott for å spille venstrehånds-bass.

Synths, strings and more

YC Series features synth sounds for covering any gig or session. Split, layer or solo warm pads, lush strings, deep synth basses, synth leads, brass and more. The one to one YC control interface allows real-time interaction for instant sound creation.
