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.

•Power cord

Main Features

 Remarkably authentic organ sounds with waterfall keyboard—striving for the ultimate

realism

The YC61 is 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, the YC61 is equipped with a newly developed

semi-weighted waterfall keyboard—the ideal keyboard for playing organ sounds, with techniques such as glissando,

etc.

 Piano sounds of unparalleled quality, and FM sound for dynamic performance

The YC61 is 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 smooth, dynamic performance.

 Design embodies high-class appearance and portability

The finely crafted design and aluminum exterior of the YC61 delivers both a sleek, professional appearance in a

lightweight (7.1 kg), 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 YC61 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.

This type faithfully reproduces a standard vintage

organ. It is fit for organ solos and music in which

the organ is the main instrument.

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.

This type has a unique percussion sound.

This type works well with the drive effects, and is

suitable for playing fast passages.

This organ generates simple sine waves.

This type recreates a famous British transistor

combo organ.

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.

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.

EG/Filter Control Type List

YC61 Owner’s Manual

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. The YC61 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. The YC61 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.

Appendix

YC61 Owner’s Manual

Data communication between

the computer and this

instrument does not work

properly.

The Port settings on the computer are not

appropriate.

Check the port settings on the computer.

MIDI bulk data transmission

does not work properly.

Use of the wrong terminals (MIDI, USB). Check the connections.

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).

“Display Lights” → “LCD Contrast” value is

set too low.

Adjust the contrast from “LCD Contrast”

(page 39).
