Key Features
  • Will this sound as good as the real grand pianos? The CK61 contains note-by-note recordings of Yamaha's CFX concert grand ($200K), S700 studio grand, and CF3 stage grand—the exact same pianos heard on professional recordings and concert stages worldwide.
  • Can I control organ drawbars without diving into menus? Nine physical drawbars on the front panel let you shape organ tones in real-time, just like vintage Hammond organs, with five distinct organ types from classic to modern.
  • Do I need a computer to edit synth sounds? All synth editing happens on the front panel with physical filter and envelope knobs—no menu diving, no computer, no interrupting your playing to tweak sounds.
  • Can I layer multiple sounds like piano and strings together? Three-part sound engine lets you split and layer any combination of sounds—bass in left hand, piano in right hand, strings layered on top—all controllable from the front panel.
  • Will the keys feel right for fast organ and synth playing? The 61-key FSB action provides the perfect balance of resistance and speed for organ, synth, and keyboard playing—not the sluggish weighted action that slows you down.
  • How many effects can I use at once? Three dedicated effect processors (Drive, Effects 1, Effects 2) plus two more for external inputs, with 36 different effects to choose from—reverbs, delays, choruses, phasers, and more.
  • Can I save my entire setup for each song? Live Sets save every setting—sounds, splits, layers, effects, even LED colors—and recall everything instantly with one button press, perfect for setlist-based performances.
  • Can I plug in a microphone or another instrument? The A/D input accepts external audio and processes it through the same effects as the keyboard sounds, so you can run vocals or guitars through the CK61's effects.
  • Does it work as a MIDI controller for my studio? Full MIDI controller functionality with four-zone setup via USB, so it controls your software instruments and DAW while also functioning as a standalone keyboard.
  • Can I practice without headphones or an amp? Built-in speakers let you play anywhere immediately—hotel rooms, backstage, rehearsal spaces—no external gear required for practice or small performances.
  • How do I record directly to my computer? USB audio interface sends your performance directly to your DAW with studio-quality audio, and also receives playback from your computer for backing tracks or software instruments.
  • Can I play backing tracks from my phone wirelessly? Bluetooth audio connectivity streams music from any device, perfect for playing along with backing tracks, learning songs, or adding pre-recorded elements to performances.
  • How heavy is it to carry to gigs? The CK61 weighs just 13.2 lbs (6 kg), light enough to carry with one hand from your car to the stage, and fits in most gig bags designed for 61-key keyboards.
  • Can I use it outdoors or where there are no power outlets? Battery-powered operation with optional rechargeable batteries gives you hours of playing time anywhere—street performances, outdoor gigs, or acoustic sessions where power is unavailable.

One Keyboard That Replaces Your Entire Rig

Three Legendary Yamaha Grands in One Portable Keyboard

Concert Grand Piano Sound Without the Concert Grand Price

You get the exact sound of Yamaha's $200,000 CFX concert grand, the S700 studio favorite, and the CF3 that's been on stages worldwide for decades. Not simulations—actual recordings of every note, every dynamic level. Plus the warm U1 upright and classic electric pianos that defined decades of recordings. When your setlist jumps from classical to jazz to rock, you have the right piano sound instantly. No compromises, no approximations.

Nine Drawbars, Five Organ Types, Zero Menu Diving

Real Drawbar Organ Control Right on the Panel

Need that classic Hammond sound for gospel? Vox-style tones for 60s rock? Farfisa for surf? You get five distinct organ types with nine actual drawbars on the front panel. Pull them while you play—no stopping to navigate menus. The rotary speaker effect responds to your playing dynamics just like the vintage Leslie cabinets. Built-in percussion adds that signature click. Enhanced vibrato and chorus bring warmth and movement. Everything you need to nail authentic organ parts is right under your fingers.

Analog-Style Control Without the Complexity

Professional Synth Sounds You Can Shape in Seconds

Pads for ambient soundscapes. Leads for cutting solos. Fat basses that shake the room. Brass stabs that punch through the mix. You get instant access to hundreds of synth sounds, all tweakable with physical filter and envelope controls—no computer required. Need a mono lead? Flip one switch. Want thick unison mode for massive sounds? Another switch gives you three variations. Shape your tone in real-time while performing, just like the analog synths that cost five times as much.

Create Complex Arrangements Without Carrying Multiple Keyboards

Layer and Split Three Sounds Simultaneously

Bass in your left hand, piano in your right. Organ with strings layered on top. Synth pad underneath everything. The CK61 lets you combine three sounds at once, all controllable from the front panel. Adjust each one's volume, effects, and tone instantly. This is how you replace a three-keyboard rig with one instrument. Play bass lines that would normally require a second player. Create lush textures that usually need studio production. All live, all from one keyboard you can carry with one hand.

Professional FSB Action Built for Speed and Control

Keys That Feel Right for Every Sound You Play

The CK61's 61-key FSB (Full Size Balanced) action is built specifically for organ, synth, and keyboard players who need fast, responsive keys. It starts with a heavier initial resistance that gives you precise control over attack velocity—critical for expressive organ swells and punchy synth stabs. The extended key travel lets you feel exactly where each note sits in the dynamic range. If you've been struggling with piano-style weighted keys that feel sluggish for organ playing, or cheap synth keys that feel like toys, this is the action you've been looking for.

Physical Knobs Beat Menu Diving Every Time

Shape Your Sound While You Play

Mid-performance, you need that pad to open up gradually. Or that lead to cut through with more edge. The CK61 puts filter cutoff and envelope controls right on the panel where you can reach them without looking. Turn the filter knob to brighten or darken any sound in real-time. Adjust the envelope generator to change how quickly sounds swell or decay. Want the classic tone with no modification? Hit bypass. This is how synthesizers should work—immediate, tactile, intuitive. No stopping the music to navigate a screen.

One Button Gets You From Ballad to Rock in One Second

Save Your Entire Setup and Recall It Instantly

You've spent 20 minutes getting the perfect split: bass in the left hand, electric piano in the right, pad layered underneath, reverb and chorus dialed in just right. Now you can save that entire configuration—every sound, every effect setting, every split point—as one Live Set. Create a Live Set for each song in your setlist. Hit one button and everything changes instantly: your sounds, your effects, even the LED color so you remember which preset you're on. No frantic knob-turning between songs. No fumbling through menus while the band waits. Just smooth transitions that make you look like a pro.
