Not sure if it was mentioned... "Outa-Space" Billy Preston.

[Wow! Say it ain't so. (Sweetwater)]

It's the quality customer service & sales guarantee that made me a customer, hope that doesn't change.

[Korg Kronos are showing up everywhere�]

Kronos is the best all around utility board for stage and studio & has been for years (if it ain't broke...).

Got the Roc -N-Soc Nitro & love it!!!

[I did cough cough Nautilus cough cough A thing]

David,

I'm thinking of pairing the Nautilus61 with my YC88, I was using the MODX6 but something tells me the N61is the way to go for everything the YC88 is lacking beyond the APs & EPs & organ(I do love the piano action on the YC88).

[YC88 can master EQ be saved to a live set?]

Thanks AnotherScott.

That would be a usefull addition to the YC series.

[YC88 can master EQ be saved to a live set?]

Is there a way to adjust the master EQ on each different saved live set on the Yamaha YC88 Stage Piano?

[I did cough cough Nautilus cough cough A thing]

Great investment, it's a utility board on steroids!!

[Yamaha YC61 Announced]

Josh, or touch elbows and say "better fast Lesli" three hundred times! ;-)

[Yamaha YC61 Announced]

I pair the YC88 & the MODX61 for gigs, great sounding rig!! But if I could take just one utility board that would be better.

Between the Hercules KB Bench & the Roc-N-Soc Nitro. Bench is lighter (15lbs) than the RNS but the RNS sure looks more comfy.

[Yamaha YC61 Announced]

Yamaha has a great simple stage board concept with the YC88 (that's what I have) but apparently are content turning a deaf ear to it's clientel's suggestions & feel there's no need to offer updates like the other guys , hell even Roland updated the organ on their Fantom & offer tons of sounds.

Great board & action for APs & EPs!!

[Advice on gigging chair]

The X-Style bench is something I've used in the past but after a few hours felt uncomfortable. I'm leaning towards the DW Airlift with pneumatic lift system but very pricy.

[Advice on gigging chair]

After several knee & back surgeries over the years (yeah, I'm in my sixties), standing for a full gig is sadley not an option anymore. I'm looking at gig benches & possibly drum thrones (Roc-N-Soc or DW Airlift) but nothing calls my name... what do the "sitters" in the group use? Thanks

[Another Rig Advice Thread]

Noticed the Korg Kronos 73 wasn't mentioned., that's my gigging board & it does pretty much whatever is needed for just about any gig. APs aren't great but no board's perfect.

[Dig My Rig--Let's see your setup!]

mcgoo,

nice set up & spaced just right. Where do you get the wall brackets for mounting the keyboards?

Thanks

[Dig My Rig--Let's see your setup!]

I think he painted the knobs red, I did that to mine just to change things up.

[Billy Preston keyboard identification]

"Outa Space", great funky clav. song by Billy!!

[Playing less, and choosing only the notes that matter]

Was Matt Rollings playing a Yamaha in the Knopfler video?

[Yamaha CP4: I'm in love]

Dave I've owned the CP88 & now happily have the YC88, If you don't want the organ get the CP88, same action. I do cover band duties as well as Church so having the organ fills my needs, not the best organ in the clone wars but definitely gets the job done.

[New Roland Fantom]

I think Roland just mic dropped on Yamaha...

[New Roland Fantom]

The YC's organ is not horrible but I think Roland just showed Yamaha how to listen to their clientele & keep the customer base.

[Yamaha YC88 I'm hooked!!]

I've owned the NS3 & the APs, EPs are good and of course the organ is superior but the action falls flat compared to the YC88. Head to head comparison is hard and is very subjective, for my needs the YC88 feels more authentic for the "piano playing experience", for second tier using the Roland FA-06 but considering the MODX6 for the bread 'n butter sounds (which one is better?). For the church & country gigs I do the YC88 checks the all the utility boxes for the job.

[Yamaha YC88 I'm hooked!!]

The last update was January & Yamaha promises those twice a year... should be due about now?

[Yamaha YC88 I'm hooked!!]

And yes the biggie question, will Yamaha upgrade the organ rotor? But on a gig where organ isn't a primary focus it's fine. The "other" sounds are pretty good (although as far as a utility board my Kronos is still the one), some more orchestral sounds would be nice for my needs. When a board inspires you to play with it's hand to key connection, that's when you know you found something special. ;-)
