Yamaha recently launched version 2.0 of the operating system for its YC Series stage keyboards.
Notable additions include the CFX2 Concert Grand Piano Voice and GS-1 style voices, GS-1 Ensemble Chorus effect, expanded Live Sets, and enhancements to the workflow.
Features
CFX2 Concert Grand Piano Voice
The CFX2 concert grand piano Voice offers elevated expression, resonance, and an extended dynamic range.
GS-1 Ensemble Chorus
The new GS-1 Ensemble Chorus adds rich, dimensional depth to your sound. Modeled with Yamaha Virtual Circuitry Modeling ® (VCM) technology, it captures the classic analog chorus of the GS-1 FM Synthesizer.
New Live Sets

USB Host Function
Connect MIDI controllers directly to your YC via USB, expanding your setup for increased versatility.
Seamless Sound Switching (SSS) for Sections
With Seamless Sound Switching for individual Sections, held notes and chords sustain— even if you turn Sections off mid-performance.
Expanded Live Set Storage
The number of User Live Set Pages has doubled from 20 to 40, so you can keep all your go-to sounds and custom setups onboard, organized, and ready to play.
