Yamaha YC88 88-key Stage Keyboard

The Yamaha YC88 packs expressive acoustic pianos and electric pianos; vintage combo organs; detailed instrument sounds like strings, bass, and brass; and dynamic synth sounds into a gig-friendly and compact 88-key stage keyboard. Using Yamaha’s proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling, the YC88 is one of the most lifelike-sounding analog organ emulations on the market, and it comes stocked with a large selection of additional instrument voices and killer onboard effects. Designed to please discerning pianists, the YC88 is ideal for today’s performers who prefer to run the show from one fully weighted piano keyboard but need sound and control versatility. The YC88’s triple-sensor hammer-action keybed and physical controls keep you out of menus and in the music. While the YC88 is vintage in character, it boasts all the functionality and reliability of a modern digital instrument, with vast customization options and computer audio integration for audio recording, playback, and MIDI control. Keyboardists at Sweetwater are blown away by the YC88. Great keyboard, instrument and synth sounds plus a compelling drawbar organ packed with stellar sounds and performance features give the YC88 the right stuff to be the top-tier keyboard in your live and studio rigs
