YamahaCK88 88-Key Stage Keyboard

Yamaha CK88

Yamaha's CK88 stage keyboard is an elegant and intuitive design, giving you access to premium piano, organ, and synth sounds with straightforward controls and a luxurious Graded Hammer action keybed. The CK interface features a number of dedicated controls for various aspects of the sound engines capabilities, from dedicated organ drawbars to synthesizer filter knobs.

TheCK88 allows you to assemble sounds in three different layers, with capabilities for layering, mixing, and splitting as you see fit. Yamaha included a number of stellar grand pianos inside the CK88, as a complement to its 88-note keybed, but you'll also find some great electric pianos, clavinet, and DX7-style FM sounds. As mentioned above, the included electric organ sounds become highly performable with the drawbar controls, and you'll also find the ability to engage a rotary speaker emulation, vibrato/chorus effect, and more. Finally, the CK88 includes a wealth of synthesizer sounds, too, ranging from pads and leads to bells, textures, and more.

In the heat of a performance, you don't want to be lost in the menus of your instrument. WIth CK88, you can totally set and forget, but tweak the essentials when you need to.
