The YC88 is part of Yamaha’s YC series. Yamaha is a renowned Japanese brand, primarily known for digitising acoustic keyboard instruments. The company was also one of the first to develop and bring a digital keyboard instrument to market. This innovative and forward-thinking approach is still very much present within Yamaha today, making it one of the most popular brands in the keyboard market. The YC series clearly reflects this philosophy, with Yamaha aiming to create the ultimate stage keyboard.
Operation
The YC88 is the larger model alongside the YC61 and YC73. It features 88 weighted wooden keys. In addition, the keys are graded, meaning the higher notes feel lighter than the lower ones, just like on an acoustic instrument. This makes the YC88 particularly suitable for players accustomed to acoustic models.
However, the YC88 also offers all the advantages of a digital keyboard. Ease and speed of operation are especially important for a stage keyboard, allowing quick adjustments between songs. The instrument is equipped with nine drawbars, including transparent stops with adjustable colours, making it easier to distinguish between simulated configurations.
Furthermore, the YC88 includes a tonewheel organ, allowing it to be used as an organ as well. While the instrument offers extensive menus with a wide range of functions and sounds, Yamaha has addressed potential complexity with an intuitive interface that ensures fast and efficient operation.
The keyboard also features a rotary speaker system, delivering a highly realistic musical experience. The speed of the rotary effect is adjustable, offering additional flexibility. Transportability has also been carefully considered: the YC88 is relatively lightweight and compact at just 18.6 kg. Moreover, it is built to be robust, designed to withstand the demands of stage use and transport without easily damaging or scratching.
Features
Sound is, of course, essential. The tonewheel organ provides a rich and authentic organ sound. In addition, the keyboard includes a CFX grand piano sample for realistic acoustic piano tones. Electric piano sounds are also available, adding further versatility.
The YC88 is equipped with both a USB port and a MIDI connection, allowing you to connect it to a laptop, PC or smartphone. This makes it easy to record your sounds or transfer audio and data. In short, a highly versatile stage keyboard.
