      Yamaha YC-73 Stage Keyboard - Performers Dream Product

      Designed for performance, the Yamaha YC-73 Stage Keyboard features Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) Organ technology with physical drawbars, extensive real-time control, and authentic acoustic / electric piano and FM synth sound.

      The YC-73 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. The Balanced Hammer Standard keyboard of the YC-73 lies in a pleasant middle ground between the other two keyboard versions.

      Yamaha YC-73 Main Features

      • Selection of world famous acoustic piano including CFX, S700, Nashville CF3 and more
      • 2 Organ engines including FM organ and VCM organ for authentic vintage organ sound
      • Physical drawbars with backlit LED's for easy viewing on dark stage environments
      • Selection of high quality effects including 2x insertion effects, speaker/ amp sims and master reverb and EQ
      • Lightweight at only 13Kg
      • 73 Note balanced weighted action

      Yamaha YC-73 Version update V1.20 to V1.30

      Yamaha added new features as part of the update to V1.30. Features include:

      • A new Vibrato/Chorus effect has been added to the FM Organ Voices.
      • A new Pan setting has been added to the Live Set Sound settings.
      • A new function that allows simultaneous changing of parameters in the Keys Section has been added.
      • A new function allows maintaining the rotation speed of the rotary speaker effect has been added.
      • New Live Set Sounds have been added.
      • New Voices have been added.

      It is always worth keeping up to date with new firmware but do remember to backup your setup before installing as your data may be lost.

      YC-73 Hosts Yamaha's Premium Acoustic Piano Sounds

      Yamaha YC-73 premium acoustic pianos

      YC-73 features two premium concert grand pianos as standard but new updates further extend the selection available. These pianos provide full dynamic expression and nuance through meticulous recording and voicing.

      Pianos include:

      • CFX -the Yamaha CFX is our flagship 9' concert grand piano
      • S700 - Built by Yamaha master artisans, the S700 is a handcrafted acoustic grand piano with the power to cut through dense arrangements and the control to remain expressive in solo and sparse settings
      • C7 - The Yamaha C7 holds the honor of being the most recorded piano in music history with its cutting sound yet somehow offers a softer side at the same time
      • NASHVILLE C3 (From OS v1.1) - The Nashville C3 is a small but character-rich grand piano engineered in conjunction with Yamaha's Sound Design and Artist Relations teams
      • LIVE CF3 (From OS v1.1) - The classic CF3 sound from the Yamaha CP300 stage piano is well-known among professional musicians
      • Hamburg Grand / intimate Felt Piano / all-new CP80 sampled from the Yamaha Synth Space collection (From V1.3)

      Splits / Layers, Synths and More

      The YC-73 has the ability to split or layer up to 3 parts with ease. The hands-on controls allow immediate access to splits and layers so you can create the exact sound you need for performing. Seeing as the YC-73 is equipped with everything from world class pianos, drawbar organ to synth, strings and more then you will be sure you can find the right sounds for whatever genre you need.

      Balanced Key Action

      Yamaha YC-73 balanced key action for electric piano feel with superb dynamics

      The Yamaha YC-73 is kitted with the a lovely 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.

      YC-73 Physical Drawbar Control

      Yamaha YC-73 physical drawbars with LED backlight

      The Yamaha YC-73 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.

      YC-73 - Versatile Effects Section

      Yamaha YC-73 has powerful effects processing

      Make your sound shine with the built-in effects processor system. Its possible to run 2x insert effects, amp simulation and master reverb and master EQ all at a the same time! Layer up your sounds and add that special sparkle with a little delay or boost the organ with powerful amp and rotary effects. The YC-88 effects section gives it that final touch to making the sound stand out on stage or in the studio.

      Connect with iOS

      The YC-73 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.
