Yamaha YC88 features great sound, expressive touch and modern design. YC88 is powered by Yamaha's proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) organ engine, which recreates individual component behavior to reproduce classic organ character and, most important, sound. In addition to organs, it comes with acoustic/electric pianos and iconic FM synth sounds that Yamaha made famous. YC88 has an intuitive control panel with physical drawbars and uses an 88-key weighted triple-sensor action with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops for pianists.

• Intuitive controls with no menu diving
• 88 weighted keys with triple-sensor action and synthetic ebony and ivory keytops
• 32 types of effects including authentic rotary speaker simulation
• 9 physical organ drawbars
• Includes classic organs, pianos, electric pianos and FM sounds

The natural wood keys and graded action of 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 YC.

All controls required during onstage are placed in dedicated sections on the control panel, such as Organ and Keys. This gives you direct access to the parameters you need at any time and allows you to instantly improvise sound changes on the fly. In addition, the Organ section features newly developed physical drawbars, which naturally deliver exceptionally high playability and even allow you to immediately check the current settings of the drawbars when switching among different sounds, letting you fully concentrate on your performance.

The nine drawbars on YC88 have the footages and ratcheting you expect in an organ, but there's more 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 to 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 compact stage keyboard.

Yamaha puts your favorite classic organ sounds in one powerful, compact stage keyboard. YC88 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.
