Overview

A keyboard, organ and piano all in one.

The YC73 stage keyboard from Yamaha puts the iconic sounds of rock and jazz organ under your fingertips. Powered by Yamaha's proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology, the YC73 faithfully recreates the character and tone of vintage tonewheel organs. With 73 semi-weighted keys, the YC73 provides an expressive feel for organ playing while remaining highly portable. The onboard effects, including rotary speaker simulation, provide an authentic vintage organ experience in a compact, lightweight package ideal for gigging, rehearsing or recording.

VCM Technology Reproduces Legendary B3 Tone

Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology enables the YC73 to capture the nuances of vintage tonewheel organs. Nine drawbars provide real-time control over the organ's harmonic content, allowing you to shape your tone from dark and mellow to bright and cutting. The rotary effect simulates the rotating speakers that are essential to the organ sound, with slow and fast speeds that can be switched via footswitch or the panel controls. The result is a remarkably faithful recreation of the B3 organ tone that defined genres from rock to jazz and R&B.

Semi-Weighted Waterfall Keys for Expressive Playing

The YC73 features 73 semi-weighted keys with a "waterfall" profile, ideal for glissandos and other organ techniques. The balanced, natural feel provides dynamic control over organ sound, allowing you to shape each note. The keybed also provides a good feel for the onboard acoustic and electric piano sounds, as well as the classic Yamaha DX7-inspired FM synth sounds. For organ playing, the semi-weighted keys facilitate rapid chordal changes and crisp single-note lines.

Gig-Ready Design

The YC73 features a sturdy yet lightweight chassis, durable controls and rear-panel connections for amplifying the onboard sounds in live performance. The compact form factor takes up minimal space, even on the most cramped stages. For rehearsing or casual playing at home, the YC73 provides stereo outputs to connect with your keyboard amplifier or PA system.

Complete Keyboard Sound Set

In addition to the acclaimed organ sounds, the YC73 includes acoustic and electric piano sounds as well as the classic Yamaha DX7-inspired FM synth sounds. A complement of strings, pads, basses and other essential keyboard sounds provide a complete set of tones for live performance or recording. The YC73 puts a world of keyboard sounds under your fingers in one ultra portable package.
