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.

MIDI
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is a global
standard designed to allow performance, Voice, and
other data to be transferred between musical
instruments. As such, reliable data communication is
assured even between musical instruments and
equipment from different manufacturers.
In addition to data generated by playing the keyboard or
selecting a Live Set Sound, a wide range of other data
types can also be exchanged via MIDI. Using the
powerful functionality provided by this technology, you
can not only play other instruments using this
instrument’s keyboard and controllers, but you can also
adjust the volume or the tone of each Section and adjust
effect settings. In fact, practically all of the parameters
that can be set using the instrument’s control panel can
also be remotely controlled from another MIDI device.
MIDI Channels
MIDI data can be transmitted and received on one of
sixteen MIDI channels. Therefore, performance data
for up to sixteen different instrument parts can be
simultaneously exchanged over a single MIDI cable.
MIDI channels are very similar in nature to TV
channels, in that each TV station transmits its
broadcasts over a specific channel. Your TV, for
example, receives many different programs at the
same time from different broadcasters, and you
select which program to watch by choosing the
corresponding channel.
In much the same way, multiple transmitting devices
in a MIDI system can each be set to send data on a
separate channel (i.e., a MIDI transmit channel),
which link with the system’s receiving devices via
MIDI cables. If a receiving device’s MIDI channel
(i.e., a MIDI receive channel) matches a MIDI
Transmit channel, the receiving device will produce
sound in response to the data sent by the
corresponding transmitting device.

You can change the expression of the sound in real time by operating the [EG FILTER] knob while playing phrases.
This list explains the control types of each EG and Filter.
EG (Envelope Generator)
EG allows you to determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you to reproduce a variety of sound
characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long
release of sustained piano sound. This instrument controls the following three characteristics with a single knob.
How these three characteristics change with a single knob operation is referred to as EG control type. This instrument has
11 types. The type can be set using the [EXIT] button + [EG FILTER] knob operation, or from the “EG Control”
(page 43).
Graphs below show how the Attack, Decay, and Release change when the knob is turned from the center (= 64) to the left
and right in each type.
EG/Filter Control Type List
Attack Determines the time which the sound reaches its maximum
level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker
the attack.
Decay Determines the time it takes for the sound reaches its sustain
level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the
value, the quicker the decay.
Release Determines the time it takes for the sound decays to silence
after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the
release.

Atk&Rls A/B/Minus
Types which the Attack and Release are changed by the knob. “B” is suitable for
making pad sounds. “Minus” enables creation of unusual sounds, since turning
the knob clockwise reduces the release time.

Filter
Filter is a function that changes the tone of a sound by passing or only a specific frequency range and cutting signals in
other frequency ranges. This instrument controls the following two characteristics with a single knob.
How these two characteristics change with a single knob operation is referred to as Filter control type. This instrument
has seven types. The type can be set using the [EXIT] button + [EG FILTER] knob operation, or from the “Filter Control”
(page 43).
Graphs below show how the two parameters change when the knob is turned from the center (= 64) to the left and right in
each type.
Cutoff
Determines the cutoff frequency of the filter (which frequency
band signal or higher is cut), adjusting the brightness of the
sound. Higher values result in a brighter sound.
Resonance
Determines the amount of the resonance which raises the
volume around the cutoff frequency. Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.

Troubleshooting
No sound? Wrong sound? When a problem like this occurs, please check the following points before assuming that the
product is faulty. Many problems can be solved by executing the Factory Reset operation (page 23). If the problem
persists, consult your Yamaha dealer.
Issue Suspected cause Solution
The instrument turns off
unexpectedly.
This is normal when the Auto Power Off
function is enabled.
If necessary, you can deactivate the Auto Power
Off function to prevent it from turning off the
instrument again (page 23).
No sound is produced. Related external equipment (e.g., amplifier,
speaker, headphones) is not properly
connected to this instrument via audio
cables.
Since this instrument has no built-in speakers,
you will need an external audio system or a set of
stereo headphones to properly monitor it
(page 22).
Power to this instrument or the connected
external audio equipment are not turned on.
Check the power to this instrument and the
connected external audio equipment are turned
on.
The volume of this instrument and the
connected external audio equipment are
turned fully down.
Adjust the volume. Use the [MASTER
VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume. If a foot
controller has been connected to the FOOT
CONTROLLER [1]/[2] jacks, try using it to
increase the volume.
All the Voice Section [ON/OFF] switches are
set to OFF.
Set the desired Voice Section [ON/OFF]
switch(es) to ON.
The volume of the Voice Sections are turned
fully down.
Use the [VOLUME] knobs of each Voice Section
to adjust the volume.
Local Control is set to “Off.” When Local Control is set to “Off,” the internal
tone generator will not sound even if you play
the keyboard. Set Local Control to “On”
(page 38).
MIDI volume or expression has been set to a
very low level by an external MIDI
controller.
Select other Live Set Sound. If a foot controller
has been connected to the FOOT
CONTROLLER [1]/[2] jacks, try using it to
increase the volume.
A sound continues to play
indefinitely.
Effect sounds such as delay continue. Lower the [DEPTH] knob value, or set the
EFFECT1/2 [ON/OFF] button or the Section
[ON/OFF] switch to OFF. If another Live Set
Sound is selected during a sound continues to
play, press the currently selected Live Set Sound
button once more.
Sounds are distorted. Effect settings are not appropriate. Sound will be distorted depending on the effect
types and the settings. Change the effect types
and the settings.
Volume is set too high. Adjust the volume. To adjust the overall volume,
adjust the “I/O Volume” → “Output” (page 38).
Volume of this instrument and the
connected external audio source are set too
high.
Adjust the volume of the connected external
audio device, or use the INPUT [GAIN] knob of
this instrument. You can also adjust the volume
from the “I/O Volume” → “USB Audio”
(page 38).
Sound output is intermittent and
stuttered.
The entire sound has exceeded the
maximum polyphony (128 notes).
Be careful not to exceed the maximum
polyphony.
No effect is applied. The depth is turned to the minimum level. Use the [DEPTH] knob to adjust the effect
depth.

Wrong MIDI device number. Check the MIDI device number.
Cannot save data to the external
USB flash drive.
The USB flash drive is write protected. Unlock the write protect.
The USB flash drive is not formatted
properly.
Format again.
A pedal has no effect. The pedal is not correctly connected. Make sure that the pedal’s plug is fully and
firmly inserted.
Nothing is displayed on the
LCD, even the instrument’s
power is on.
“Display Lights” → “LCD SW” is set to “Off”. Set the “LCD SW” to “On” (page 39).
