Yamaha YC61 61 Key Stage Keyboard
The Yamaha YC61 is a 61-key stage piano that packs all the character of vintage combo organs and more into a gig-friendly, compact design. Using Yamaha's proprietary Virtual Circuit Modeling, the YC61 is one of the most lifelike sounding analog organ emulations on the market, and it comes stocked with a great selection of additional instrument voices and killer onboard effects. The YC61 is designed around performance, and its waterfall-style keys and physical drawbars are super responsive and a ton of fun to play and manipulate. While the YC61 is vintage in character, it boasts all the functionality and reliability of a digital instrument, with vast customization options and computer audio integration for audio recording, playback, and MIDI control.
The YC61 combo organ from Yamaha captures the signature tones of the company's classic line of organs. With its drawbar controls, the YC61 gives you a sizeable sonic palette with tons of tweakability. Layer up a fat organ pad, pull back the bars for a focused sound, or dial up the percussiveness. Beyond the incredible organ sound, Yamaha's updated Stage OS and the YC61's Dual Keys section give you control over a slew of instrument voices, including acoustic and electric pianos, FM synth, strings, and brass. And, the YC61's nine onboard effects, such as vibrato/chorus, reverb, delay, and drive, make for endless musical possibilities.
The experience of playing a drawbar organ is visceral and interactive, and the YC61 provides a great feel to inspire lively performances. The physical drawbars and intuitive control surface make it easy to shape sounds on the fly without getting bogged down in programming patches. The YC61 features a waterfall-style keyboard with a rounded front edge for digging into techniques like squabbling and palm glissandos without wrecking your hands. And, the YC61 is incredibly responsive—perfect for smashing out big chords or for dancing around the keys with a light touch.
The foundation of the YC61's rich and detailed sound is Yamaha's proprietary Virtual Circuit Modeling. Developed by Yamaha originally for the "Add-on Effects" series for their digital mixing console, VCM digitally emulates analog gear down to the individual component level. The YC61's VCM organ engine mimics the analog topology of Yamaha's classic organs for astonishingly accurate tone, vibe, behavior, and realistic rotary speaker sounds that will transport you to a blissful vintage dreamland with all the benefits of digital sound processing.
