Yamaha CK88

Yamaha has combined the best of both the CP Stage Piano and YC Stage Keyboard worlds into the ultimate piano experience in the CK Series Stage Pianos.

The CK Series offers streamlined functionality as well as the sounds of the CP Series and the organ and synthesizer sounds of the YC Series. Convenient controls such as drawbars, synthesizer-based adjustments, a 3-band equalizer and direct access to each instrument category made the CK a true all-rounder.

Users can access a variety of onboard effects such as reverb, delay, modulation, distortion, wah, filter and rotary speaker effects. The CK88's hammer action provides an excellent feel for those who want a detailed expression similar to an acoustic piano.

The CK series offers more than just fantastic organs, synthesizer and piano sounds. Sounds can be split, layered and mixed while playing. For example, players can split the keyboard in two places to play a synthesizer, a horn section, and a grand piano at the same time.

A Live Set feature stores performance setups in a memory bank for later recall. Keyboardists can connect a microphone or another keyboard and play via the A/D input. The Bluetooth audio input makes it quick and easy to perform to your favorite tunes.

Portability is the name of the game with the CK Series stage pianos. Thanks to the simple user interface, you can stay on the ball while making music without the hassle of clicking through menus. The CK pianos also feature four zones of MIDI master keyboard control, allowing control over hardware and soft synthesizers.

Additionally, two customizable pedal inputs are available to add more nuance to your playing. The CK Series can be powered by either batteries, or the included AC adapter.

The new CK Series combines the best of both worlds and is ideal for keyboardists looking for fantastic synthesizer as well as realistic organ and piano sounds.
