So much love to detail sounds and a great presentation. This video is the reason why I bought yesterday a YC73 and I can't even play. Thanks a lot for your explanations 👍
Thank you so much for the comprehensive review. I weighed my options on a Nord vs YC88 and bought the YC88 in June - thoroughly LOVE it. One question for you guys. With all the great sound voices in the board why isn't a "clarinet" included in "winds"? When someone says winds to me I think clarinet first. Oddly, though I never expected to need that voice, I'm a little curious why there are saxes, multiple flutes, trumpet, etc, but no clarinet. Any chance this might get added on the next update? Thanks so much!
Great Points! We will have to keep them in mind for the future. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Seems Yamaha has taken ideas from Korg, Nord and Roland with this keyboard to make it more aimed at live performance. Roland has had the "drawbar" idea for ever, then Korg Kronos, and Nord has been know for their three different areas making them easier to change patches live and on the fly. Give the Key people what they want, nicely done Yamaha! Yamaha has improved on their Hammond sound, nice piano strings and horns for a for a long time, but getting around in their instruments for live performance used to be more difficult, They may have solve that with this keyboard.
Wow I'm going to watch more of your videos the layering of the piano with synth and organ etc so wonderful, so the montage does all this and more ? What keybed does the montage have
Very glad you like this. Please stay tuned for more! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Wow, this keyboard looks amazing. I'm curious about the pad sounds. I play a lot of worship music and need to pair pads with pianos. Are there any videos about that type of sound design you could point me to?
Not off hand but let us know if you find any good ones. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Not only with your demo, I notice with most demos, the sound is played thru a distorted effect. Not all of us are hard rock players. Why not demo the sound as it is and then if you want, add overdrive and distortion effects. The Vox sounds were all terrible unless you're playing 90s music. What about the 60s..Dave Clark 5, The Animals, etc. Would like to hear more Hammond sounds with classic Jazz settings and not all hard rock Leslie on 10 with bad tubes Deep Purple sounds. My 2 cents..Thanks..
Hi there great video(s). Would you know how I can play a YC88 Organ voice from an external keyboard (Kurzweil K2000S) while playing a piano voice on the YC88? With Thanks Dave in BC
Great question Dave! If Nick sees it he might know. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.

A little hilarious, as your Bosendorfer on the CP is considered one of the worst you've ever done. YC series rendered the CP redundant, especially so with the 88. You should perhaps stop ripping people off. I haven't personally been caught; but the forums are replete with people who are extremely ticked off. Thats likely why you have Abdol and other posters on the Pianoworld forums calling your company a disgrace. Without VRM and String Resonance, the CP model is a dud out the gate and will be barely used. It's arguably not an upgrade even against your own CP4 stage. Which is perhaps aptly titled 'the best stage piano we've ever made'. That remains so. People should ignore your junk and only buy Kawai. You can't come close to their Grand Feel action. You've barely even surpassed the Korg Kronos Rh3 and thats decades old lol!

Of all the places I expected to see aggressively rude people, the comment sections of stage pianos, workstations and synthesizers didn't even make the list. There is a way to express your issues without doing all of what you just did.
Have my YC88 on order, arriving tomorrow. Never been so excited about a keyboard. Thanks for the great review, will help me get up and running.

If you build sounds /layering with keys A and B and organ, can you save as a favorite?
Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Yes you can save it as a live set and call it back when pressing the buttons.

In therms of hammond sound is this the same as the hammon sk1pro or nord electro? which has the better sound
Can you bring up/show us the drum kits?
Perhaps next time. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
It's A Shame Yamaha didn't put Proper Piano Engine with string resonance and so (like at they home clavinova) on this instruments (CP&YC Piano's).
Hw many layers can we add? & Total no of tones?
Is Read out and switces too small ? Can you save custom layered and splits and easily access them ? Thx!

Thx but Cant find one to try. Few keyboards are in stores to try these days..
@@studiodlux Understood. You might be able to ask Yamaha Music where their distributor closest to you is and if they have this keyboard.
So there aren't or are programmable zones?
According to p.16 of the manual, I think there are: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/1376845/yc88_yc73_en_om_a0.pdf
Does it have a leslie?
It might sound that way... Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
