Yamaha YC73 Portable Stage Keyboard With Drawbars

Yamaha YC-73 Stage Keyboard - Performers Dream Product

Designed for performance, the Yamaha YC73 Stage Keyboard feature Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) Organ technology with physical drawbars, extensive real-time control, and authentic acoustic / electric piano and FM synth sound.

The YC73 is the ideal model for the keyboardist who wants to cover the widest possible range of sounds. And that with a still compact size, a very comfortable weight, and direct and intuitive access to all important parameters for sound design. Using the MIDI Master Mode the larger keyboard range already allows three Split Zones, using internal sounds and in combination with external sound generators. Another criterion that should not be underestimated is the fact that not every keyboardist needs a keyboard with 88 keys or is used to it from a piano. The "Balanced Hammer Standard" keyboard of the YC73 lies in a pleasant "middle" between the other two keyboard versions.

Advanced Key Action

Taken direct from the flagship Yamaha Montage 8 - the YC73 is kitted with the balanced key action. Unlike some products, this action has an equal feel amongst all keys for an equal dynamic response across the entire key range. With an E-to-E keyboard and a touch that falls between graded acoustic piano and authentic organ action, it's quite possibly the most versatile YC stage keyboard.

Physical Drawbars

The YC73 is equipped with physical drawbars for the ultimate real-time control of the superb built in organ sounds. It gives access to control the FM and VCM organ sound engines and has been enhanced with backlit LEDs for easy visual in any stage environment. The drawbars themselves have clear windows within them so you can see exactly where the current drawbar settings are at.

Connect with iOS

The YC73 features a built-in USB stereo audio and MIDI interface for Mac, PC and iOS devices. With a single USB cable, you can record the YC audio and MIDI to a DAW and play and monitor virtual instruments.
