I came for Daniel’s trademark downward pitch bend....and I stayed for a great review! Loving Yamaha’s new direction for stage instruments. Now all we need is a new CS.....
Yamaha may be erm, emulating Nord, but while Nord persevere with their sub-standard keybeds, I consider them fair game. This thing is overly-pricey but it sounds fantastic! Great demonstration, as always. Edit: the more I hear this, the more I regret my comment about the price!
And behold he felt a great pain at the sight of a $2000 dollar price tag. And he asks to buy or not to buy. And the one who writes this suffers an equally painful burden as he wants a Electric Guitar with the same price tag, but he has no money....
Does anyone know if the organ's drawbars can remain in Manual Mode (live mode) all the time? Also, Is it possible for each of the three tone sections to receive on its own MIDI Channel? Also, is it possible to to be able to map any of the synth parameters (such as, say Portamento, Filter cutoff, etc....) to any of the sliders/knobs on the front panel?
Saw this and purchased one. So absorbing. Q1 what sound were you sing at 1.03. It reminds me of Steve Winwoods Valerie period. Is it available as you play it anywhere? Thanks a million
Can you send MIDI out of the YC into another board? I'd like to have a weighted 88 keyboard underneath and just send a piano sound from the YC to the 88 key board. Possible?
Yes, but I think you have “in” and “out” terms reversed. Connect the MIDI out from your 88 key to the MIDI in on this board, then the audio will come out of this board to the PA/speakers while you play the 88.
Hi Deja Gruv Band. You can layer Organ with two other sounds. Since the Organ can be Split into Upper and Lower, you could have four sounds at once, but it would still be three Layers. (The left-hand Organ sound layered with A+B parts, and then the right-hand Organ sound also layered with those A+B parts.) -_Daniel_
This is an awesome keyboard. Fortunately for my bank account, I don't have a full use for this. I already got my MX88 piano, which I learned the hard way I need. I could not play piano on this thing. I would break it, like I broke my old korg. Now I treat my new korg like it's made of glass = NO BOOGIE WOOGIE. only mx88 Ya, too bad, those organs sound awesome.
Hi xp50player. There's actually a full 8-Operator FM synth in there. You don't have full FM programmability, like on a DX7, but you can modify the FM sound's Tone, Filter, a chosen aspect of its ADSR, as well as its effects. -_Daniel_
Hi can the YC be used as a sound module in Cubase 12 for example, 16 midi in and 16 midi out so I can have different sounds on multiple tracks? Thank you Gr.Ness
Great question! The keybed on the YC61 is similar to a traditional organ keyboard and is definitely a lighter action than the CP88 and 73. If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
the organ engine isnt in the modx. Other then that, I myself would also like to know, how much of it the modx can do, albeit with the immediacy of theinterface
ok I came into this thinking "woah, someone spraypainted a Nord" but this is a well put together and fantastic sounding machine. I like it. I use a King Korg with a Ferrofish B4000 to kind of serve this function now but...thinking.
This look like a great concept keyboard but is sound too much like the 90s and not 2020 the only sound i like is the Yamaha C7 piano and strings in the presets. Yamaha need to upgrade there sound quality for me to spend that money on a stage piano. I love Yamaha and real keyboards but for much less money you get better sound with Spectrasonic.
Modern technology sucks. I had a Tyros 5 its dead within 3 years time. Its better to go for midi controllers. At least you don't loose 1000s of dollars.
Copy and paste? Nord doesn’t have Yamaha’s FM synthesis engine. I find the YC61 organ to be very full and rich, with a nice beefy low end. The problem with this board is that the rotary sim is the worst I’ve ever heard. That alone makes it not worth buying, unless Yamaha fixes it. But for everything else - amazing!
Hi Mexlycan Lobo. That's because of my monster-sized hands. But it truly is five octaves, with each octave having a 160mm width. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Hi Enrique. There are two different Clavinet sounds available: Clav B and Clav S. Either of them can use up to three effects including overdrives, phase shifters, reverbs, and delays. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

Just got this for my birthday. Never been so excited and so overwhelmed! lol
Finally a all in one keyboard with fabulous organs & other awesome sounds to gig with & can easily carry around!!
Your licks really made this keyboard shine. Fun to watch.
I came for Daniel’s trademark downward pitch bend....and I stayed for a great review! Loving Yamaha’s new direction for stage instruments. Now all we need is a new CS.....
Fantastic instrument. I love the CP88 and YC88. I want them both. And if Yamaha decides to release a CS88 and DX88, I will want them too.
Awesome! One of the best demo I ever Heard!
I fell in love with this one........ I will have it one day.
Awesome sounds and great playing Daniel!
dan you ROCKED IT!
20:25 best listened to at 11pm, lolz. Thank you, Daniel.
That's my man, Daniel! Back at it again!
Very nice, we are loving this board as well and all the features it offers, amazing!
U1 piano sound very beautiful.
Great yamaha YC61 and Daniel player to love this key :-)
Seems like Daniel has the mood for some Progressive Rock today! Genesis, Pink Floyd :)
Great demo, thank you.
@23:31 he gets extra dope! And the progression at @24:00 is WAAAY above AVERAGE with high level assassinry!
Its Walter from the Big Lebowski. I love this keyboard.
Great another amazing instrument I can't yet afford. Really great product.
Thank you! Good music!

Nice
Impressive 😎
compliments Daniel for this amazing demo!!! :-)
Sounds so good
Perfect keyboard
God knows that I love this keyboard already ❤️... I can't wait to lay my hands on it... How much

@@brez1093 😂 😂 😂
Ok! I get it NOW! 👍🏿
Extra thumbs up, just for The Lamb!
thank you
Is it possible to get a copy of the custom sound set you made?
Nice sounds useful...are there some pipe organ sound ? Can you layer more than 2 tones / layer in split mode ?
NICE
I wonder how this is different from the Roland V-Combo VR 09- They certainly look similar.
Does anyone know if the organ's drawbars can remain in Manual Mode (live mode) all the time?
Also, Is it possible for each of the three tone sections to receive on its own MIDI Channel?
Also, is it possible to to be able to map any of the synth parameters (such as, say Portamento, Filter cutoff, etc....) to any of the sliders/knobs on the front panel?
12:08 - And The lamb, lies Down on BROADWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we still get Daniel Fisher's custom sounds?
Wao good sound... 🙌🏾🥳🥳🥳
music play thank you~
Daniel, you just made all other YC61 demos obsolete.
Is there onboard editing? I really like my Roland RD-88 but cannot change the envelope ADSR of any sound at all!
Saw this and purchased one. So absorbing.
Q1 what sound were you sing at 1.03. It reminds me of Steve Winwoods Valerie period. Is it available as you play it anywhere?
Thanks a million
Hi Chris Lee. That section was an on-the-spot improvisation featuring a left-hand pad with a right-hand lead. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

Anyone know why my keyboard sounds quite at full volume? It's new
this is the perfect keyboard for me except the price...
Tomotuns Price for value? Or only 61keys to play on for a lot money?
Nick Vledder I mean I am not perfect for the keyboard. Got it?
Tomotuns You can practice and progress.
its overpriced until you compare it to a nord
A semi weighted 73, otherwise vr 730 is viable option.
Powerhouse!
Can you layer up to 4 patches on this board?
Hi Deja Gruv Band. You can layer Organ with two other sounds. Since the Organ can be Split into Upper and Lower, you could have four sounds at once, but it would still be three Layers. (The left-hand Organ sound layered with A+B parts, and then the right-hand Organ sound also layered with those A+B parts.) -_Daniel_

I would break it, like I broke my old korg. Now I treat my new korg like it's made of glass = NO BOOGIE WOOGIE. only mx88
Ya, too bad, those organs sound awesome.
Sounds great. Is there actual FM in this, or all PCM besides VCM organ? Thumbs up for “Memories of Green”.
Hi xp50player. There's actually a full 8-Operator FM synth in there. You don't have full FM programmability, like on a DX7, but you can modify the FM sound's Tone, Filter, a chosen aspect of its ADSR, as well as its effects. -_Daniel_
Can the fm piano be layered with the acoustic piano.
@@danielcolfer4671 For that classic Midi piano sound. 👍
I think some keywords are better in just 88key versions and this is one of them
Wow...!!!
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
NICE 👍🏽
I think , maybe using a YC61 with a P-515 might be a latest Dream Combo 🤗🙏🏽
What if you ALREADY purchased one from Sweetwater? Still get the sounds?
Hi Vanessa. Absolutely! Please contact your Sales Engineer to have one sent to you right away. -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater Thank you!
Great playing. What's the song in 11:40 ?
Hi Jerry. It resembles The House Of The Rising Sun. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Sebeched lobal ngara omengat?
Hi can the YC be used as a sound module in Cubase 12 for example, 16 midi in and 16 midi out so I can have different sounds on multiple tracks?
Thank you
Gr.Ness
Can you attach a music stand If so how please ?
Wow, now I can save some cash 💵 from a Hammond organ and buy this portable Yamaha YC61
How do the pianos compare to the CP88 or CP73? Is the keybed fast and light?
Great question! The keybed on the YC61 is similar to a traditional organ keyboard and is definitely a lighter action than the CP88 and 73. If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch. Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Yc61 or juno ds61
Really DUMB question probably but I've got a MODX6, couldn't I pretty much do the same thing on that? Drawbars are nice though
the organ engine isnt in the modx. Other then that, I myself would also like to know, how much of it the modx can do, albeit with the immediacy of theinterface
Omg
ok I came into this thinking "woah, someone spraypainted a Nord" but this is a well put together and fantastic sounding machine. I like it. I use a King Korg with a Ferrofish B4000 to kind of serve this function now but...thinking.
Where de synth sounds
This look like a great concept keyboard but is sound too much like the 90s and not 2020 the only sound i like is the Yamaha C7 piano and strings in the presets. Yamaha need to upgrade there sound quality for me to spend that money on a stage piano. I love Yamaha and real keyboards but for much less money you get better sound with Spectrasonic.
Impressive! but I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal of horns on a keyboard.
Horns on a keyboard definitely make it easier to carry. -_Daniel_
Modern technology sucks. I had a Tyros 5 its dead within 3 years time. Its better to go for midi controllers. At least you don't loose 1000s of dollars.
Maybe you got a bad unit? I’ve been buying modern gear for years and haven’t had any problems. Sorry to hear that. Don’t give up on cool keys!
What has that got to do with THIS keyboard?? I have a Clavinova from 1994 that still performs and sounds amazing.
Copy and paste says Nord
Copy and paste? Nord doesn’t have Yamaha’s FM synthesis engine. I find the YC61 organ to be very full and rich, with a nice beefy low end. The problem with this board is that the rotary sim is the worst I’ve ever heard. That alone makes it not worth buying, unless Yamaha fixes it. But for everything else - amazing!
Not a new concept but Yamaha has a real winner here. Best demo on UA-cam. If I buy one it will be from Sweetwater.
Best tech support and sales reps.
Best. Solo concert of Daniel Fisher and a YC61.
Great playing. Lots of progressive stuff.
How does the actual keybed feel?
Cool sounds Bro..next vid all Jon Lord pleez! Lol
What’s the song at 17:30? It’s driving me crazy
Hi William. I was paraphrasing Memories of Green from Blade Runner. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
The keyboard looks tiny
Hi Mexlycan Lobo. That's because of my monster-sized hands. But it truly is five octaves, with each octave having a 160mm width. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater ahh OK thanks
Does it have Clavinet sounds?
Hi Enrique. There are two different Clavinet sounds available: Clav B and Clav S. Either of them can use up to three effects including overdrives, phase shifters, reverbs, and delays. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater Thanks for answer mate
Loved the keyboard, loved the sounds, loved the playing, and loved hearing so many of those songs I grew up with!! :-)
