Common Yamaha YC61 Questions
How do I save my custom organ drawbar settings and other panel configurations as a "Live Set" on the YC61?
Press the [STORE] button, select the desired Live Set location (1-1 through 1-160), and then press [STORE] again to confirm and save your current panel settings including organ drawbars, effects and other parameters.
I'm trying to use my YC61 with an external synth module via MIDI. How do I configure the YC61 to send MIDI data on a specific channel?
Navigate to the "MIDI" section in the system settings (using the [CATEGORY] knob to select "UTILITY" and the [VALUE] knob to select "MIDI") and adjust the "Transmit Channel" parameter to the desired MIDI channel (1-16) for sending data.
My YC61's organ sound is cutting out unexpectedly. What could be causing this?
This might be due to the Rotary Speaker effect being set to "Slow" and a high amount of Drive, which can cause clipping. Try reducing the Drive parameter or switching the Rotary Speaker speed to "Fast" to see if it resolves the issue.
How do I switch between the different keyboard instrument sections (Organ, Keys, etc.) on the YC61?
Use the dedicated buttons for each section (ORGAN, KEYS, EFFECTS) located on the left side of the panel to quickly select and access the sounds and parameters for that instrument type.
What is the 'Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM)' effect on the YC61, and how do I use it?
The VCM effect emulates the warmth and character of vintage analog gear, adding subtle saturation and compression. Access and adjust VCM parameters by pressing the [EFFECTS] button, and then use the [VALUE] knob to select the 'VCM' effect and adjust its associated parameters like 'Drive' and 'Tone'.
