CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or

damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality,

or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by

the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical

storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you

are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction

occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect

the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned

off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum

level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make

sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic

components, turn off the power for all components. Before

turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum

levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the

instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the

gaps on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury

to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or

operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,

switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long

period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since

this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or

destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [STANDBY/ON] switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the

product, damage to data, or damage to other property,

follow the notices below.

 Handling

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio,

stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric

devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may

generate noise. When you use the instrument along

with an application on your smart device such as a

smartphone or tablet, we recommend that you set

“Airplane Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to

avoid noise caused by communication.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or

vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct

sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage

to the internal components or unstable operation.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the

instrument, since this might discolor the panel or

keyboard.

 Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry (or

slightly damp) cloth. If the panel (front, side and

bottom, excepting the controllers and the keyboard) is

dirty, wipe the dirt away using a cloth moistened with a

neutral detergent solution and tightly wrung out.

Following this, wipe away the detergent solution using

a cloth soaked in water and tightly wrung out. Do not

use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, or chemical-

impregnated wiping cloths.

• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity,

condensation may occur and water may collect on the

surface of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden

parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure

to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

 Saving data

• Edited Live Set Sounds (including settings of the

SETTINGS screens) and settings of MENU screens are

lost when you turn off the power to the instrument.

This also occurs when the power is turned off by the

Auto Power Off function (page 23). Save the data to the

instrument, or to USB flash drive/an external device

such as a computer (page 25). However, the data saved

to the instrument may be lost due to some failure, an

operation mistake, etc. Save your important data onto

USB flash drive/an external device such as a computer

(page 25). Before using a USB flash drive, make sure to

refer to page 26.

• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive

damage, we recommend that you save your important

data onto spare USB flash drive or an external device

such as a computer as backup data.

Main Features

 Remarkably authentic organ sounds, piano sounds of unparalleled quality, and dynamic FM

synth sounds

YC series are equipped with a VCM Organ tone generator and VCM Rotary Speaker simulator that have been newly

developed based on Yamaha VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. These authentically reproduce the natural

saturation and warmth of sound that are uniquely characteristic to tonewheel organs and rotary speakers—thanks to

the meticulously accurate modeling of analog circuits. In addition, these are equipped with high-quality acoustic

piano and electric piano sounds perfected in and derived from the Yamaha CP series. It also features an FM tone

generator with 128-note polyphony for comprehensive dynamic performance.

 Weighted hammer-action keyboards suitable for playing as a piano/electric piano

The YC88’s NW-GH3 (Natural Wood Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops) keyboard

reproduce a touch of grand piano by giving all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the

lower. Moreover, the YC73 features a BHS (Balanced Hammer Standard) keyboard, perfect for performing as an

electric piano.

 Design embodies high-class appearance and portability

The finely crafted design and aluminum exterior of YC series delivers both a sleek, professional appearance in a

lightweight, highly portable instrument—perfect for onstage use.

 User interface provides total intuitive control—essential for live performance

All controls required during onstage are placed in the dedicated Sections on the panel, such as Organ and Keys. This

gives you direct access to the parameters you need at any time and allows you to instantly improvise sound changes,

on the fly. In addition, the Organ Section features newly developed physical drawbars, which naturally deliver

exceptionally high playability, and even allow you to immediately check the current settings of the drawbars (with

LED indicators) when switching among different sounds (Live Set Sounds)—letting you fully concentrate on your

performance.

 Connect with other devices and expand your performance potential

Comprehensive MIDI control function and powerful Master Keyboard function make it more useful to connect and

use this instrument with software synthesizers and external MIDI devices. Moreover, the instrument has a built-in

Class Compliant USB Audio/MIDI interface, which makes for greater recording ease in home and professional

studios, as well as greater onstage performance power.

The YC88/YC73 Organ Section allows you to select an organ type from the VCM Organ tone generator that faithfully

reproduces a tonewheel-type vintage organ or an FM tone generator that reproduces a transistor-type organ, and uses

physical drawbars allowing you to perform while changing the organ sound in real time. You can also adjust the detailed

parameters to create an organ sound that includes differences between individual instruments etc.

Section [ON/OFF] switch

To enable (turn on) or disable (turn off) this Section.

When this Section is enabled (on), the lamp lights up

and pressing a key generates sound.

Organ type selector/display

Turn the Encoder dial to select the Organ type to be

used. The selected type (H1–H3, F1–F3) is shown on the

display.

H1–H3 indicate the VCM Organ types, while F1–F3

indicate the types using the FM tone generator.

The type setting is common to both LOWER and

UPPER parts.

NOTE

The organ sound characteristics (such as leakage level of the

tonewheel and volume of the key click sound) can be set from

the [SETTINGS] button  “Sound”  “Organ Settings”

(page 42). These settings are stored in the Live Set Sound.

Organ Section

VCM Organ tone generator

The VCM Organ tone generator was developed to

faithfully reproduce the sound of a tonewheel-type

vintage organ.

VCM stands for “Virtual Circuitry Modeling™,” and is

technology that uses DSP to emulate the functions of an

analog electric circuit. This technology enables the

instrument to reproduce sound with an analog-like

depth, which cannot be reproduced by a simple digital

sound.

By applying this technology, the VCM Organ tone

generator fully reproduces the following characteristics

of a vintage organ.

• Natural, organic harmonies when playing chords—

thanks to a matrix circuit that connects the keyboard,

tone wheels, and drawbars

• Percussion sound with remarkable presence—based on

vacuum tube circuit analysis

• Key clicks and leakage sounds—based on electrical

circuit analysis

• Natural sound distortion—simulating vintage vacuum

tube pre-amplifiers

• Vibrato/Chorus effect—from scanner-based vibrato

circuitry

• Changes in frequency characteristics and drive amount

that responds dynamically to operation of the

expression pedal

Adjustment of these detailed parameters makes it

possible to accurately recreate the distinctive

characteristics of the original instruments—including all

of their specially attractive imperfections, faults and even

deterioration.

H1

This type faithfully reproduces a standard vintage

organ. It is fit for organ solos and music in which

the organ is the main instrument.

H2

This type is characterized by its deep sound with

emphasis in the mid- to low-range tones. It is

ideal for when you want to have an edge or

presence that cuts through the rest of the band or

ensemble.

H3

This type has a unique percussion sound.

This type works well with the drive effects, and is

suitable for playing fast passages.

F1

This organ generates simple sine waves.

F2

This type recreates a famous British transistor

combo organ.

F3

This type recreates a famous Italian transistor

combo organ.

For adjusting the composition of the Organ’s harmonics

and determine the character of the sound. When you

move a drawbar, the LED lights up to match the current

setting and the sound changes—as if you were pulling

out a drawbar on a vintage organ.

NOTE

• In situations like when you call up settings from the Live Set,

the actual position of the drawbars and the LED displays

(currently set values) will not match. If you move a drawbar,

that position will be reflected in the settings. Or, if you press

the LOWER/UPPER [L U] button while holding the [EXIT]

button, the values for the actual positions of all the drawbars

are immediately reflected in the settings without having to

move the drawbars.

About Looper Delay

When the Looper Delay type (page 33) is selected, the

EFFECT Section behaves differently from normal:

• The Looper Delay effect is applied after the SPEAKER/

AMP Section. In addition, the effect of the REVERB

Section is not applied to the delay sound.

• The status of the [SELECT] button lamps have a

different meaning than normal. Pressing the

[SELECT] button alternates between the two states

(below).

All lit: The delay effect is applied to all the Organ,

Key A, and Key B Sections, and the sound you play is

added to the Looper.
