Overview

The CK88 has 61 fully weighted full sized keys with touch sensitivity but no aftertouch. It has 128 notes of polyphony. It has hundreds of on board sounds including pianos and real world sounds, and a sustain/damper pedal.

It uses Yamaha's AWM sound generation. Advanced Wave Memory is a classic high-quality sample playback and layering engine.

It has built-in MIDI capabilities. It has no built-in learning system. It has a built-in amplifier and speakers. It can run from both AC and battery power.

Description

Combining the sounds and functionality of the CP and YC stage pianos with a new sonic palette and intuitive interface.

Highlights include a dedicated organ section—which is a real plus if you’re performing this instrument in a live setting and don’t have time or headspace to faff around in menus—plus renowned pianos, EPs, strings, brass, and modern synth sounds. A range of special effects, as you’d expect, plus a mic input for mixing vocals or other instruments, plus onboard speakers and the ability to run off batteries if required.

Yamaha has designed the CK keyboards to minimise the amount of time you’ll spend in menus when playing and performing, meaning a lot more dedicated 1-1 interface controls for the most used instruments and controls.

The 88-key CK88 has a GHS keyboard with matte black keytops.
