The Onboard Panel Control offers an extensive sound palette with many customization options. For example, you can layer a fat organ pad, pull back the drawbars for a focused sound, or experiment with onboard effects to create entirely new sonic worlds.

The Yamaha YC OS technology ensures that your instrument stays up to date by adding new sounds and features. Furthermore, the YC73 features nine onboard effects, including vibrato/chorus, hall, delay, and drive, opening up endless musical possibilities.
