The Yamaha YC61 stage keyboard and organ gives gigging keyboardists that iconic organ touch, tone, and real time control in a compact instrument. Yamaha's VCM organ engine provides classic tonewheel organ character by modeling individual components right down to the transistors and resistors, while physical drawbars, a waterfall keyboard, and intuitive controls allow for more jamming with less programming. With a four-zone master keyboard mode, nine effects processors, onboard acoustic and electro-mechanical pianos, DX-derived FM synth and electric piano sounds, strings, brass, and more, the YC61 is the perfect top keyboard for any rig.

NAMM 2020: Korg ARP2600 Semi-Modular Synth

Published on Jan 16, 2020 Noisegate

"Noisegate looks at Korg’s resurrection of the ARP2600 Semi-Modular Synth from the floor at NAMM 2020."

P.S. I'm hearing the mini version was just a render and never pursued by KORG. Currently they have no plans for any other version than the full sized. The question then, is how did the renders get out?

NAMM 2020: Bitwig Studio Vocoder and More

Published on Jan 16, 2020 sonicstate

"At the NAMM show this year Bitwig didn't have any major updates to show off, however they were keen to show us a couple of things that were released late last year. As a Christmas gift to their users they released a vocoder, which allows any of the Bitwig synths to be the carrier and anything to be the modulator. We also took a quick look at their new microtuning plugin and a brief look at the Grid which was announced last year."
