In 88-key hammer action, and 73-note balanced action

The YC88 features an 88-key Natural Wood Graded Hammer action keyboard or a grand piano inspired playing style. The YC73 uses Balanced Hammer Standard action to replicate the feel of classic electric pianos.

Both new models offer a large variety of sounds from organs to synthesizers by integrating three sound engines: VCM, FM andAWM2. Combined with sound effects and layering options, the sonic versatility of the new instruments is impressive. Intuitive direct controls and connectivity options for second manuals, switches and pedals add to the comprehensive flexibility. Constant updates will expand on this basis even further.
