Yamaha YC73 73 Key Stage Keyboard with Drawbar Organ & Balanced Hammer Action
Enjoy peace of mind at no extra cost
Key Info
Designed for performance, YC Stage Keyboards feature Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) Organ technology with physical Drawbars, extensive real-time control, and authentic acoustic / electric piano and FM synth sound.
The YC73 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. Another criterion that should not be underestimated is the fact that not every keyboardist needs a keyboard with 88 keys or is used to it from a piano. The “Balanced Hammer Standard” keyboard of the YC73 lies in a pleasant “middle” between the other two keyboard versions.
SOUND When it comes to versatility, YC is a virtuoso. Featuring premium keyboard sound with more possibilities than ever. Choose from authentic Yamaha grand/upright pianos, electric pianos and keyboard to a tonewheel organ with rotary speaker, synths, acoustic sounds, and more. Our proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) recreates the circuits of vintage analog EQs, compressors and phasers right down to the transistors and resistors to capture the subtleties other digital simulations can’t. It’s like having an incredible sounding keyboard with everything, to go. In addition to the three FM organ models, the 8-Operator FM engine in YC shines with various FM e-piano classics as well as other FM sounds from the categories lead, bass, brass, pads, and more. These FM Voices offer real added value beyond VCM and sample-based sound generation.
The development of electronic or electro-mechanical organs began about 100 years ago. Although the pipe organ initially served as a model, electronic organs were used relatively quickly and increasingly in blues, rock, jazz, and pop music, simply because of their portability. Even today, the typical sound has lost none of its charm. The sound of the historical instruments was subject to technical limitations such as limited capacity of the tone generators, “leakage” (crosstalk of the pickups) or “key click”. With the development of the fully electronic organ (transistor organ), the challenge began to recreate exactly these sound limitations to come as close as possible to the original sound. As of today, this is of course no longer a problem at all with sample-based sound generation. However, a Sample is static and produces the same basic sound with every keystroke. This is where VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) comes into play. With VCM technology, electronic circuits can be virtually “recreated” and then behave as “non-static” as the original. This allows maximum authenticity in the organ sound.
TOUCH At Yamaha, we put everything we’ve learned over the last 100 years into everything you touch. Whether you prefer the natural feel of a graded acoustic piano, the balanced touch of an electric piano or a waterfall keyboard with authentic organ action, there’s a YC that’s right for you. It’s no wonder more players reach for Yamaha keyboards than any other.
YC73 BALANCED ELECTRIC PIANO ACTION YC73 has a weighted and balanced action that models the unmistakable feel of an electric piano. 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 of all.
