Hmm, the Fantom 6 didn't even come up on my search on Sweetwater just now, only the 7 and 8. And the "-0" series units. Same on Thomann site, only -06 but no 6...

I own the Pigments software, as well as the complete V collection X. I do like a lot of the functionality of the Arturia software and am generally a fan of lots of their gear. This unit has some cool features but has lots of demerits too, including limited polyphony, only a 61-key semi-weighted action (unless that changes), limited control surface, external power supply (wall wart), and a micro screen. Hard to see who the board is really best suited for at $1600. But I'd still love to tinker around on one at some point.

I have not met the selling threshold, but I imagine at some point they were preemptively asking for SS# when they thought they needed it? Things changed perhaps and maybe some of us were selling during different policy windows on their platform so some got asked for it and others didn't. Who knows.

I just checked my account and yes, they have my SS#, believe I had to provide it for them this past year. Found it on this subpage when I was logged in to my account: https://reverb.com/my/selling/tax_id However, they do clarify on the page below that regarding the thresholds for the 2023 year, screenshot attached.

Yeah, it does look pretty flat! The pics/angle make it look about as deep as the keys (roughly). My Viscount Legend 70s has a flat top and I find it immensely practical; it's a perfect place to rest my ipad, sheet music, etc. Hoping the Grandstage X has class-compliant USB audio, so I can hook up my ipad and interface easily with it and then place it on the flat top

Agreed on some of the other comments - in 2024, please don't exclude USB audio. Also keep the power supply internal. As for action, my PC361 had a great action, an I would jump on this new board if it was essentially a "mini" K2700 with a synth action, less weight, and no pads. Fingers crossed!

I recently sold my K2700. Even though I liked it in many ways, I just didn't connect personally with the action at all. But, I'd definitely reconsider if came in a 61 key variant!

Ah, I see it now (my coffee is kicking in!). Hope they update the SL series soon to the TP110 action which I find a massive improvement over the old 100 series that they are still using.

I scrolled down on their homepage, looks like the SL controller series is also redesigned from the images.

Looks interesting, though the current specs on their site simply lists max polyphony at 128. Video announcement says you can layer 3 sounds, so curious how that polyphony is allocated. Is it like some brands where a single note can actually be 2-4 "voices"? Can it do audio over USB? At this price point in 2024 for a new board I would hope so. And agreed with other sentiments that the design and weight make it less appealing as a traveling stage piano, but might be a nice studio board. Will be excited to try one out at some point.

I was able to get the deal eventually but with some issues. I waited for almost a day for the new account registration email, and when it finally arrived it gave me an error message every time I clicked the link they send you in the email to activate your account. So, I tried signing up again using a new email and username combo and that seemed to do the trick. But it was down to the wire on the last day of the deal. Glad I got it, but it was a frustrating process indeed. Hope the can honor those few that reach out to them explaining their registration issues.

My confirmation email hasn't arrived after a couple hours, looks like they might be having site issues. Meh.

Thanks for the heads-up! Gonna get it, just waiting patiently for the account confirmation email to someday arrive...

Reviving this slightly stale thread Does anyone know if the YC models switch voltage internally? They are labeled 120v on the NA models, but I am moving abroad next year and need to know if they are OK to use on 230v or if require a separate external transformer. I know there are some boards like the Nautilus and Montage that, despite their single-voltage tag from their country of sale, do switch internally. Hoping the YC is the same Thx!

Not sure I'd make any dramatic changes, but if I could go back and even just add a little more discipline to my routine I'm sure the cumulative effects would be very welcome today. Also I've been so devoted to keys my whole life I probably would have added another instrument (guitar, violin, etc.) to be more versatile.
