Yamaha CK61 & CK88 Forum • Re: Yamaha CK61 dilemma (vs CP73 and YC73)

I have a Yamaha CK61, and I'm absolutely delighted with the interface and sounds, but I need 73 keys because I don't like having to play with the octave up or down button. I also have a Korg C1 Air with weighted keys, so I don't see the need to go for a CK88, CP88, or YC88. My dilemma is as follows: should I keep the CK61 and buy a CP73
If you're going to keep the CK61 but are wishing for 73 keys, there are plenty of options besides the CP73, which might offer other advantages or not overlap so much. I might choose a Korg SV2-73, for example. And just by running a MIDI cable, you can even play the CK's pianos from the SV2's keys, if you'd like. Or if you want to save some money, you might get what you want from a Numa X Piano 73 (and again, it can also be used to play your CK pianos).
or should I sell the CK61 and buy a YC73?
The YC73 organ is much better than the organ in the CK61, but I suspect you would miss the interface that delights you about the CK61.
Can anyone tell me if the piano sounds on the CP73/YC73 are better than on my CK61?
Well, there's a greater variety of them. But if the ones you like best are on both of them, the for your purposes, they may be about the same. Here's a chart I put together a while back, comparing CP/YC/CK piano/EP. I think the only change since then is that, with the latest update, the YC can now also save the master EQ in a Live Set. (Though the master EQ on the CK has more settings than the master EQ on the YC, it lets you adjust the frequency of the high and low frequency controls.)
