Please why don't you guys use some of the top gospel artist like Mike Bereal, Glenn Gibson, Justin Savage, Kevin Bond and etc to really bring the sounds out in these boards. The way this guy is doing i would never buy it..
Dude, Yamaha gets it. Even though they are a mammoth company, they always seem to listen to the end users and tailor their products to what is really needed. The legit organ section is fantastic. Laughably bad horn sounds are the Wilhelm Scream of keyboards. Everything else sounded incredible. I have a great piano already, but I want this thing!
Everything that is killer about the YC61 in a 73 / 88 note version with weighted keys and WAY better controllers than big Red. This thing is a giging dream for those that have to cover a lot of ground but don’t want to bring a bunch of boards. Real draw bars for organ performance but a little weight for us piano players, can’t wait!!
What an absolutely awesome demo. Bobby Timmons' "moaning" in the beginning was a nice touch. Excellent presentation of the instrument. You balanced the technical with the creative.
Man, it is not just extremely informative but also so much fun watching your reviews, because YOU really seem to enjoy very much recording them - and you are one of the few reviewers who play the different sounds (organ, strings, brass, sitar😉 etc.) of a keyboard the way they should be played! 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?
With capability for downloading new sounds including killer acoustic pianos and user samples, NORD has an edge. With that aside, the YC series have superior keybeds, pitch/mod joysticks, and overall cooler form factor. Tough call!
I really like the hammond sound on this one, but Leslie on higher speeds sounds too bidimensional yet... I have the same feeling on the korg kronos hammond factory presets, but with it I was able to tweak it and made a huge hammond sound. Oh man, the Upright Piano sounds just fantastic!!!
Good eye. Would love to see a side by side of the CP and YC comparison in the future. The CP has three discrete sections (Piano, E Piano, Sub) while the YC appears to removed SUB and instead integrated a toggle between Key A (Piano/EPiano/Synth/Other) and Key B (Piano/EPiano/Synth/Other) simplifying the physical interface I/O. Interesting workflow considerations.
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.
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.

Yamaha CP88 and YC88 Doesn't have Piano Engine (string resonance, hammer and dumper sounds, lid position and cetera) their Clavinova Models do have this Engine.
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.
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.
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

YAMAHA YC 61 73 88 There is no vibrato effect in the effect unit. This is the main effect of the electric piano keyboard , It must be available in the Nord keyboard effect unit, but the Yamaha does not. I decided to replace the Nord to the Yamaha but found this problem. Is it possible to upgrade the system to add a vibrato effect in the future? Considering whether to buy nord or yamaha
It seems this is supposed to be Yamaha’s answer to Nord, but without the sympathetic string note and deep sampling- does it feel good paying 4K for a keyboard ? Any keyboard at all, no matter how good it is. You could potentially be instantly in this territory with arturia instruments and controller. Maybe not as easily learned
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?
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.

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 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.

I want you to show us all the stuff this keyboard has, including rhythm styles. It has to have rhythm styles.

Hi, Fred! Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the review! However I think this YC line should only have the waterfall keybed, and I’m not so sure about a 88 keys version.… it feels right on the CP model, not on this one.
Exactly, having a YC88 and a CP88 ? What's the difference? Is the YC taking over from the CP ? I don't get it. Yamaha has become the Samsung of keyboards :D
I find Yamaha keyboards to be noisy. I heard some key noise (physical key noise, not electronic) in one of the examples. Does it have a felt pad under the keys to dampen the (physical) noise when you release a key?
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.
Hi, David! Thanks for your interest. Yes, the octave can be set individually for the lower and upper parts when splitting the keyboard on the YC88.

I hope they release YC double deck with pedal board, not 88 key. They have cp88, so for what yc have 88 key if they have cp88? access sound laso very similar between them,.with multi section.
Hi Robert, thanks for the interest! Great question - currently, the drawbars on the YC88 are only for controlling the sound of the organ patches, similar to the drawbars on vintage organs. I don't know whether Yamaha is planning to add "mixer" functionality via a firmware update.

Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
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
If want more piano sounds buy the CP, but if you interested in organ sounds choose YC. Go to Yamaha website, there you can download the manuals of both CP and YC, so you can read them and check which fits best for you.

That last sentence hit hard lol
Agreed
The synth and “other” instrument sounds are surprisingly good
This is an exceptional demo. You played just the right amount, and just the right stuff, in each section. Thanks!

Jacob was the reason i bought Yamaha p125 and now that keyboard looks tempting.. Jacob is one hell of a salesman!
Nothing wrong with a P125 for practicing 😊
Finally!!..76 & 88 keys versions are now available.
The organ bass has no business being that good on a keyboard! Jokes. This is amazing

yah so modern... but the theme is great too
i could listen to an album of this guy playing - just great

Just placed my order for this amazing stage piano!
Seems to be going after nords
Better then nords
Nice playing, dude!!!
great keyboard and great keyboard skills to match,
Love that intro playing
I really like the hammond sound on this one, but Leslie on higher speeds sounds too bidimensional yet... I have the same feeling on the korg kronos hammond factory presets, but with it I was able to tweak it and made a huge hammond sound. Oh man, the Upright Piano sounds just fantastic!!!
Dang man sick arrangement in the beginning
And I thought the CP88 was exspensive......
Dope version of Moanin!
Is the CFX sample exactly the same quality for the cp88? Or is the CP88 a lesser sample of CFX??
Great presentation, love the sounds can't wait to play it 🎶
Good demo with a guy able to perform properly :-)
Thats Better So cool so sweet a Very pleasant sound very nice kind of playing piano & Synth... Perfect excellent demo... You're such a Pro.
Brilliant piece of kit.
Great job on Moanin'!
I gotta get the 88. Awesome stuff.
Very impressive.
I wonder if you could do the pipe organ show case I'd to hear the pipes church organs
Wow that intro!
Best intro ever. 🥰
The sticker on the right part of the keyboard says "CP" instead of "YC".

Great Review. Covered a lot in short period of time.
the intro theme? how? loops? patterns? sequences? mp3 playback?
Interesting offering from Yamaha.
Love your reviews. I cant stand when other reviewers start off playing goofy Synth/Spacey sounds instead of just a piano patch.
Enjoyed that quite a bit.
This looks great - think I'll ditch my Clavinova !
Anyone else notice it has yamaha CP sticker on it?
Yeah
Nice ! Thnx for the presentatipn! How does it compare to the new CK88? Greetings Abbe
Yamaha CP88 and YC88 Doesn't have Piano Engine (string resonance, hammer and dumper sounds, lid position and cetera) their Clavinova Models do have this Engine.
Does this one have the better keybed then the modx8 that's bitting the dust gigging outside in humidity..
