Yamaha reface yc

Don't need to tell you how it plays or sounds, just read everyone else's reviews; wonderful. Couldn't find anyone who has tried to buy 2 to make a "ultra mini dual keyboard B3". It works! Just use guitar cables out L/Mono on both yc' s to a 1/4 y cable into your amp/pa, and you have total control of each organs sounds, for left and right hands.And for a stand, just build your own out of a $6 board, use some Velcro for keeping them in place and you have a 10 pound ultra mini "B3"....btw, I play in a trio group and we play 60's music only, so I'm excited to turn some heads at our next gig!

Great!

The keys are small, but it just takes some getting used to.

The emulations are very good. The rotary function sounds great. The drawbars are great. The percussion and reverb sound great. Distortion is cool too.

This is a powerful, 'analog-feeling' combo organ. I wish you could save presets, and possibly even have LED indicators for drawbars (or even motorized drawbars!) But at this price, you can't ask for much more.

Just get it!

Can't say enough good things about this

This item came out not very long after I had got a Nord dedicated organ back in 2010 which I had to agonize and discipline myself to save 3 grand for, lol. Years later, **** happened, and I had to sell some gear, including the Nord. However, this Yamaha is BETTER even than the Nord was, and the price is literally 1/10ths as much.
I make 1-and-1/2-chord trash rock by myself and/or with my GF and friends, and I must have, I require, the synth-ish, strange, very futuristic sounds of the unique transistor organs of the 60s...why those quickly became unpopular as the hippies began to take over rock by 1969, 70, in favor of 68-ton, churchy-sounding, bland Hammond organs is one of rock's hugest mysteries to me...and for the longest, that sound was unavailable, except for falling-apart Vox Continentals and Jaguars which during the 70s and 80s weren't that hard to find in pawn shops. I'm to understand that the build quality of the Vox organs was lousy from the beginning, unfortunately. Older cats have told me that when they were new, you could take one home, set it up, and about 25% of the time, they would malfunction and fall apart the first day. Well, this Yamaha organ has solved all of that. It has not 2, but 4 various classic 60s tranny organ sims which sound perfect. It has the Hammond sound, but it's harder to dial in a sound I like on that one. Plus now there's free organ sims and things like Arturia which don't cost much relative to what a real keyboard costs. I went decades not being fully able to get my Blues Magoos wannabe on, but that problem is long gone. Great keyboard; get it.

Very Good Synth

I love all sounds. They remind me the 70's music when I use to listen them thru many oldies. I had been trying to find out the names of those sounds but nobody knew about them. Now I do not know their names, but I keep sound. Thanks.

Great organ sounds in a small package

I love this little organ! Being able to control the drawbars makes my playing even more impactful and allows me to blend into and out of the texture of any group. The on-board effects also sound great. I hooked up a Yamaha volume pedal to add organ swells to my bag of tricks. Much more afforable than a full-sized organ with some of the same sounds!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Carson McClain

What an amazing little keyboard. As a sound designer, sampler, synth nerd, I normally don't even consider organ-type instruments. Why? I don't play organ! The Reface YC has changed my mind about that. It has five organs that everyone knows and loves: Hammond, Vox, Farfisa, Acetone, and Yamaha. They are punchy, edgy, sometime subtle and lush, moody, and even a bit raucous when you add distortion. I see this in the studios of Hip Hop producers, house producers, gospel organ players, and of course live church musicians who need another versatile solution. This is also perfect for the cover band musician who needs a better-sounding organ.
