Yamaha CK-61 Stage Piano

With intuitive controls, built-in speakers and authentic piano, organ, and synth sounds, the compact CK61 Stage Keyboard goes wherever the music takes you. Its 61-key, semi-weighted action is ideal for synth and keyboard. CK combines the sounds of the Yamaha CP Stage Piano with the organ and synth-focused YC Stage Keyboard for a totally new sonic palette containing pianos, electric pianos, strings, brass, organ, and modern synth sounds.

Easy-to-use controls let you focus on the music, not the menu. Dedicated Organ controls and Synth and Effect controls. And with its long battery life, you can turn every place from campgrounds, cramped tour buses, and hotel rooms into a stage or studio. Take your music where it’s never been before.

CONTROL

CK features an intuitive, 1 to 1 interface that gives you the freedom to explore your sound. Everything, from dedicated Organ controls to Synth and Effects controls, is designed to keep you making music instead of diving into menus.

KEYBOARD ACTION

The CK Series has two different keyboard actions for different kinds of players.

CK61 features the new 61-key “FSB” or “Future System Basic” action, inspired by the famed “FS” or “Future System” action that was originally developed for Electone organs like the legendary FX-1. In the spirit of the original “FS” action, FSB uses a completely new structure. This action features a heavier initial key resistance and increased key travel for a wider range of expression and stability. This action is great for keyboardists playing organ, synths, strings and more, and provides piano and electric pianos with a dynamic, expressive response.

CK88 features Graded Hammer Standard (GHS), 88-key, weighted and graded action to recreate the feeling of playing a Yamaha grand piano, without ever having to call the piano movers.

LIVE SET

LIVE SETS store and recall the exact settings for anything on the front panel including your splits, layers and special effects. It also stores and recalls features such as A/D Input setting, sample playback and LED light color.
