Product Description

The Yamaha reface Series offers the classic sounds of the 70's and 80's in 4 super compact and individual instruments.

The reface Series is based around 4 legendary Yamaha Keyboard ranges; The CS series for classic analogue Synths, CP Series for Stage Pianos, EY Series for Combo organs and and the DX series for Digital FM synths. All featuring the same basic compact chassis, they each have their own flavour with both styling sounds, and internals taken from their original ancestors!

The reface YC

The Reface YC is based on the Classic 70's Yamaha Combo Organ featuring the recognisable rich red finish of the original with a wide range of draw bars and old school rocker switches to create your sound. Its a super tactile instrument with no pesky screens or menus. Even if you weren't that knowledgeable about traditional organ features and were not that bothered about traditional organ sounds, you could treat the drawbars as subtractive synthesis to create something to your taste. Fantastically versatile, the YC is perfect for the classic organ enthusiasts and modern tone creators alike.

Looks Like a Toy, Behaves like a beast

At first look, you may be fooled into thinking that the reface pianos are somewhat of a toy. With their super compact design mini keys and in built speakers, it does seem reminiscent of a few mini-starter-keyboard instruments that i grew up with in looks.

HOWEVER, in terms of both sound quality,playability and features, the reface series completely blows those keyboards out off the water!

Thanks to its internal circuitry the sound is warm and rich and has all the artifacts and intricacies of the original. Featuring speaker modelling from the Classic Leslie design, you can plug the YC into anything and it will sound great. If you wanted, you could plug the reface into a larger rig and just use it as a compact top quality sound module for a larger keyboard.

Mini Keys, Mighty Control

With mini-keys becoming more prominent in a range of keyboards these days, many players have been disappointed by their lack of playability and responsiveness compared to a proper keyboard action. having been used to the proper hammer action of a real piano myself, I have in the past sometimes wondered whether mini-keys is that one step too far!

What's great about the reface key bed is that you'll find that the Mini-Keys on the reface are like none that have been before. The keys not only feel better to play, there's a huge amount of expressiveness and sensitivity that is sometimes lost in other mini key setups.  In a Reface promotional video a reviewer remarked “It seems like a piano player actually made the keys”!

There is obviously a reason why Yamaha decided to use mini-keys on the reface series, and as soon as you start taking that keyboard out and about, you really start to see the benefits of its compact nature. Whether your on your (usually dull) train ride to work with some headphones on or your sitting in a park with your mates on a sunny day, you can make awesome music and be creative.

The reface slogan is "Your Sound. Any Place, Any Time". This really sums up why you should get a reface. It's a no-brainer to easily perch somewhere in your performing rig to add an extra layer, or one of your main creative outlets when you're out and about. reface is more than just a toy, it offers a powerful collection of instruments that you can take wherever, whenever!

Loving this cute little keyboard so far! Really fun to work with, great array of sound possibilities, and it’ll make it possible for me to represent the combo organs I love on gigs without having to take my heavy and totally inreliable vintage Farfisa and Vox organs with me.

My son loves it! Easy to use and he gets all of the vintage sounds he requires for his songwriting/recording.

Great range of sounds just from the presets but the real bonus with this keyboard is being able to modify the preset sounds using the sliders. Also gets five stars for being usable straight out of the box. Other synths I have require a lot of setting up sound wise, not the case here. Also has lots of usable features like distortion and echo which actually are usable and fit the keyboards sound well rather than just being a gimmick tried and then not used again. Perfect for that retro 60s keyboard sound bit with the distortion and 2 octave up and down shift can fit almost any musical genre. Despite its size this keyboard kicks out a powerful bottom end sound and is loud enough for home use and attached to a amp/pa system will easily be good enough for band practice/gigging. Also is very sturdily built so given the proper care should last a lifetime

Apart from time to get used to the mini keys (getting there) everything else about this problem is great, so good I’ve ordered the matching CP electric piano to go with it
