I am super happy to hear all your positive comments about this wonderful Yamaha YC61 as I have just ordered one yesterday. I will also be investing in a Yamaha CP88 in the near future so I could have the CP88 for all the piano work and the YC61 for solo, strings, choirs and others … These will be for my small music studio at home together with a MacBook Pro 14” running Logistics Pro and lots of Spitfire Audio libraries … Thank you once again for such brilliant reviews
Havn't felt one yet. I hear almost all good things about the action, but contrary descriptions!! Some say "perfect for organ playing", others say "a really great compromise between organ playing and piano". Now I tend to think unless Yamaha has really innovated here, its probably either more of a compromise, "pretty good for both", which is great in itself of course, OR truly great for organ, as with say the Mojo. Your opinion? because Im certainly intrigued by a tri-timbral organ focused board with a great interface for live playing, a board that could be, conceivably, the sound source from a top-of-two board, but with an organ feel instead of a synth or hammer action.
Good sales pitch, but unfortunately no review. I got this myself, although there is much good to say about the keyboard there are a few very apparent issues. The rotary sims are poorly modelled which most owners agree to (compared with e.g. Ventilator etc.), actually the effect rotary sim are better than the speaker/amp! The key triggers are way too low for proper Hammond style organ playing. The reverb section is limited and strangely designed. Also the additional sounds are a bit too few, but those that are there are very good! It's an impressive keyboard but being organ-centric unfortunately Yamaha missed a few things.

Thanks for the succinct and to-the-point review.
I'm hoping this is half weighted..Great sounding Pianos too
Well done!
Love your Jamiroquai style licks. Where d’you learn to play like that? Great stuff!

Lovely review though and I agree on rivaling the Nord...

did you download the new update?
04:10 does this mean that I can use to auxilary sounds simultaneously or it's just this patch that's set up like this ? Good video and music.
Third comment.
