However, the Keys A and B effect slots have amp sims, distortion, and rotor effect you can select. John Are you talking about the distortion effects? I was looking for amp sims in the manual effects lists but didn't see any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHarrell Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I've owned this for about 2 weeks, now. Occasionally I find myself wondering, "Could I still find a cheaper alternative that does what I want?" I'll look around for certain software options, the closest in approach that I can find is GSI Genuine Sounds, but the fact you can't layer is a dealbreaker. And maybe the YC keys are too heavy...and maybe the pianos could sound better...but then I adjust the velocity depth and offset, and I adjust the damper resonance, or roll off some frequencies with the filter and get a mellower sound.... I can do all of this so quickly, and I conclude that maybe there really isn't any substitute for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the conundrum, it doesn't read like you're totally sold on this KB but settling instead. The *right* KB should always be a joy to turn on and play forsaking any contenders.😁😎 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

My last post was to say that I have these niggles with the YC, but then I tweak a little here and a little there, and those things melt away. I have a hard time keeping myself away from the YC. ....but if there was a good all-in-one keyboard app that had good layering capabilities, that I could get for less $$....

Outkaster Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 They key's aren't that heavy? I have three guys that saw mine and are all great players. They bought a YC88 because of the keybed for one thing. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

They bought a YC88 because of the keybed for one thing. I don't know if I'm describing it well, but at least on headphones (haven't tested it with my Spacestation yet), it feels the amount of force I have to apply to get decently louder velocities is way too much, especially if I try controlling external sounds. However, like I said, some quick adjustments to the touch sensitivity controls and it feels perfect. Let me make it clear, I'm loving this board!

Outkaster Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 OK your the only one that I know that says that out of 5 people I know gigging with this board. Most are pretty accomplished. Maybe you can tweak it? I am glad you like the board though, that's great. It's really my favorite since the S90 series. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

jason88 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 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!
