Is there still a market for organs? Today we're taking a look at two Yamaha YC products that have different takes on the organ, which is an extremely important instrument to Yamaha's history. While many major organ manufacturers went out of business at the turn of the digital revolution, Yamaha has survived, thrived, and continued to produce high quality options. In the Reface series, the YC is a tribute to the YC instruments of the previous incarnation. The YC61 combines elements of the CP88 and the YC series to create a more tactile stage keyboard with some other voicing options. Lets take a listen to both-- we'd love to hear your thoughts on which one suits your organ needs more!
Demos start at 9:49

Yes, the Reface line can be viewed as modules, but they also clearly exist as take-anywhere keyboards, so like your guitarist friends, you will have something to play or jam with, whether in your hotel room, on the beach, or on a camping trip. (Yes they can run on batteries and have a built-in speaker.
It sounds from your demo, that the YC61 has some Reface CP & Reface DX sounds too in addition to the classic Rock organ sounds. So it's much more than just an organ. Nice demo, thank you for posting.
Thank you 🙏🏼
and of course, speaking of famous Italian organists, who can forget St Francis of Farfisi? 😁
Great script and delivery, and then down to business with no awkward "hmms" and "ums." You guys rock.
I always learn so much from your video descriptions of synthesizers and I really appreciate your attention to detail also.
Great points. The Farfisa--one of my favorite instruments--always sounded like an Analog synth to me anyway. I would hear it on early Pink Floyd records and assume it was some kind of early polysynth.
I know exactly what you mean. So much of Emerson Lake and Palmer is organ! More than synth.
we used it with a leslie in our band - wonderful
Fantastic playing on this video. Well done demonstration. ❤
Great vid, and interesting to learn about how synthesizers sort of took over the role of organs!
I considered buying the YC61, finally bought Hammond SK1. The quality of organ sound is very high in both keyboards. To my ear Leslie is more credible in Hammond, and, above all there are countless possibilities of tweaking both the tonewheel and Leslie in Hammond SK1. That said, I wouldn't regret if I had bought the Yamaha. On most counts it is on par with Hammond.
YC & CP in the house! love these keyboards (wish I had the skills to DIY a custom case like some enterprising folks have done!)
Took the YC along to a campfire sing-along (boosted by a Blackstar Fly3 amp rig), which made the usual 5+ acoustic guitar ensemble sound way better.
The Leslie simulation is the third of "sputtery" sound to it on the larger keyboard. One thing that might help is to actually play the organ sounds through an actual Leslie as a comparison to the simulation.
Good Demo!
The reface YC was the one out the four I was most interested in, but it appears to be back-ordered... EVERYWHERE! ... hope to add one soon to accompany my reface CP.
Music is good when organs are popular.
Will you do Yamaha YC 61 and Nord Electro 6D 61 comparison
Yamaha made some of the best organs ever right in to the 21st century.
If reface had full sized keys I'd buy it.
You can play it with a full sized keyboard. It has midi out/in
Or make them standalone MODULES without keyboards.
Congrats it has now. On the Ck61 and 88
Yamaha seems to have forgotten to touch base with the design department on the current full-size keyboard YC line. Yes, it looks functional and all the controls are clear to discern, but there's not a unified, stylish look about it. I would have liked a "combo-organ" look and vibe to it. More substantial switches, slider tabs, and an all-around more inviting and tactile sense to all the controls, buttons, and switches. Maybe some fatter, sturdy rocker switches all around, not little red ones or all the tiny black buttons. They pretty much got it with the Reface YC. Korg got it with the SV.
Far-fee-zah
For all the Yamaha motor enthusiasts that part of the company started in 1955 as opposed to the music part which began in 1887
Hello does anybody know if there’s a modern board that has the sound of the Yamaha yc30 I know the reface has it I think but it’s not the best to have on a stage is there some other board with a great sounding Yamaha yc30?
The Yamaha YC61 competes with the Nord Electro 6D.
Does the yc61 contain the electric pianos from the Yamaha reface cp?
🤯📻🎛🎹🤣 Good job !! !!! !! !!! !! !!!
The YC sounds way more raw and lo-fi.
Absolutely adore mine, I am so glad I asked an synth authority in a known band which of these I should get first because I was torn between the YC and the CS. He asked if I ever owned any keyboards in the past and I brought up my old Yamaha CP20 and how I missed terribly and he said the YC should be first I get from this series then whichever else that grabbed me .
@@moxie96 you should also get the Yamaha Reface CP. The Wurlitzer and Rhodes innit are quite quite good. It does not have an ‘analog piano’ sound (like the Yamaha CP20 is) but it very much will scratch that itch. I own a Yamaha CP30 so I know the sound well.
Can you tell me what model Yamaha other than the tiny YC, is closest to the Reface YC but a bit bigger and WITH speakers?. Thanks.
the yamaha ck 61 and ck88 are the absolute same as the reface
what do you think about the cp-10 vs the cp reface? I'm looking to get my first vintage synth, and a CP-10 just came up in my local craigslist for $150.
Well, if the CP10 is in good condition it's not a big risk at that price - you can always resell it. I have the Reface and it's great fun but of all the Refaces it's the one that's limited by the keyboard so unless I'm tinkering for fun it gets hooked-up to a bigger keyboard.
Totally different instruments. CP-10 is analog-electronic piano, it doesn't sound even sound close to any of Reface CP Sounds. To say more, any Yamaha or cheap Casio keyboard based on samples would sound more like Reface CP than CP-10. Hope you didn't bought it and feel disappointed.
Seràs un gran pianista Però para hacer una comparativa de organos hace falta alguien que tenga la tècnica de organista
The reface sound less digital and better to me
Yamaha now has the CK series of keyboards with all the keyboard sounds and a organ section based on the reface with small drawbars and with full size keys 61 and 88 weighted keys versions
The CK series is nice, I have the CK61 but it's not on the same level as the YC which have a metal chassis and a premium organ keyboard. The octave width on the CK61 is also 5mm narrower than a standard piano.
Same with YC61. Keys are narrower than standard keys. And YC61 has not a premium organ keyboard. There are many issues with it, you can of them in many forums.
@@1970pianoIt's funny you mention this because while I liked the CK61 I had a chance to get a well used YC61 and the keys do feel different than the CK. I'm still getting used to it. I think the clacking that people mention on the YC is because the return spring is stronger and if your release is very fast it could make that sound.
It has maybe a quarter the number of preset sounds than the CK series does but the organs and electric piano are better and the regular pianos are close.
@@raul0ca The only electric pianos i use on the YC, Rd78, 73RdStudio and warm Wurli, are exactly the same in the CK.
The reface YC sounds like early Hammond simulators. Not quite there, but usable with forgiving ears.
The technology has moved on. I own the other 3.
Why did not put inside Mellotron samples?
Probably because that company is still active and offering products.
lol. Go to any Black American church and tell them the Hammond organ has had a decline at some point in the past 60 years & you'll get the people's eyebrow. 😆
