My Live YC88 Rig has changed!

what I really like, you get straight to the point. just valuable information and by the way how your monitors give more details 👍

Love your YC episodes!

Man. This Video. Just like all of your videos, is a treasure chest full of information. Thank you so much for uploading & detailing what you do and use. All of this in order to make our lives easier - it is very much appreciated! Much Love: YC73 User from the UK.. Signing out 🙂.

Thank you

BRILLIANT this is so full of good advice for a live set up,great to see how you do it! JUST NEED A YC88 going to trade my old CP4 in on one ASAP!! 😀

I appreciate all of your YC videos. I purchased the YC61 and I’ve had some success with creating full pads with and without organ layered in. I’ve been very disappointed by the thin sounding pianos. They always seemed so full on all the YT videos, but I can’t seem to recreate that effect in my home studio or when I’m playing live. I’d appreciate anyone chiming in.

Wow. Some similarity to my set up incl YC61 and Mackie Thump which Ive recently upgraded to EV Everse 8 .worth a look at perhaps .Steve ,Thanks for great videos Christy

Love all the details in this video, and how it reinforces just how powerful the YC can be (and I love the YC61 that I have). Surely you have seen that Yamaha has released the more budget friendly CK series of stage keyboards; I’m curious about your thoughts on that line and whether you have had a chance to compare the two. Price aside, I wonder if it dilutes the sales of the YCs if the CKs retain many of the best features of the YCs; if so, what edge—aside from build quality—would the YCs keep?

for your on stage rack, do you have a rack mount case on top of the stand? or do you just use the stand it self? I am thinking about putting together a rack with 2 or 3 sound modgules.

What kind of stands do you use with your personal monitor speakers? I have been thinking about geting some bigger speakers to use as monitors with my band. I want to upgrade from 6 inch to 8 inch speakers, and I am looking for stands that fold up, and have a small footprint. any advice or product recommendations you have would be appreciated.

Super useful content sir. I'm about to start a stand-alone piano/voice setup with a YC88. I have a Mackie thump speaker and a Shure super 55 mic. How could I get my voice running with that setup? At home I usually rehearse with a Yamaha Clavinova CVP 505 which has its own voice EQ, reverb etc, which is enough to make vocals sound good. But for the live setting what should I get to get my vocal to have reverb, EQ and whatever I may need? I do also have a boss mk505 loop station which includes voice effect. Maybe I could add it into the equation? Thank you so much in advance.

So does your keys L and R and your mic go to the line mixer first and then you are going from the SM10 L and R outs to the EQ input 1 and 2 and then out to your floor monitors? You showed connecting from the exf send out to your DI and then to your floor monitor for your vocal, right? Little bit confused

I have just received today my brand new YC88. Sadly, I feel so disappointed. I have a Yamaha Clavinova CVP 505 at home, which is 14-15 years old approx, and the YC was bought to use as a gigging keyboard with the best touch possible and, I was expecting, piano sounds as good as my old Yamaha at least. However, after been testing out today my YC, the CFX piano sound, or any other natural piano, doesn't sound even close to how good CVP sounds. I am not sure whether I am doing something wrong or if I've been given a wrong yamaha whatsoever. The piano sound is not as rich and full as CVP. In the CVP, each single note, in any octave, sounds full, round, with resonance. In the YC, yes, sometimes the bass sounds punchy and you can hear the resonance of strings and damper, but the sound is not as consistent as the one provided by the CVP. Then, when using dynamics, once again, the difference seems to be atrocious. I have tried to test the YC plugged with 1 single speaker, with headphones, lined up to the Clavinova in order to use the same speakers of the Clavinova as well. No matter which choice of speakers I do, the difference is still there. I am not sure what to do now. I feel kind of abashed after spending nearly 3K$ and not having a sense of satisfaction at all. Could you please give me some hint or recommendation kind sir? Thank you so much in advance.

Excellent sharing! Since you are touring from time to time with your YC88, could you tell us your choice of YC88 protective case and the reason behind? I am considering buying the Yamaha Soft Case (SC-YC88) due to its lightweight. But a flight case or a 88-key gator case could be the choice as well.

Mackie profx6 Can this be used for bamboo flutes?
