Yamaha CK Series 61-Key Digital Stage Keyboard

The Yamaha CK Series 61-Key Digital Stage Keyboard combines the sonic flexibility of the CP stage pianos and the organ and synth-focused YC keyboards into one performance-ready platform. Yamaha’s legacy of innovative keyboard design shines through in the CK61, giving players access to an extensive library of acoustic and electric pianos, vintage and modern organs, and synth textures without getting lost in complex menu systems. Designed for versatility, portability, and intuitive control, the CK Series builds on Yamaha’s decades of stage-ready engineering.

The CK61’s sound set pulls from legendary sources, including three different Yamaha grand pianos, electric piano tones, vintage digital sounds, and a full organ section with dedicated drawbars and enhanced modulation options. A synth engine offers pads, basses, leads, and textures ready to be shaped via the accessible front-panel controls. Built-in effects include Drive, two multi-effects engines, and dedicated processing for the analog A/D input. Players can split, layer, and combine sounds in real time across three independent parts, enabling complex performance setups with ease.

Connectivity is a key strength of the CK61. The instrument offers stereo output, a dedicated sub output, a full MIDI master controller interface with four-zone capability, and a stereo USB Audio/MIDI interface that allows both audio recording and MIDI control over a single cable. External audio sources can be integrated via Bluetooth or the A/D input, complete with assignable effects. Onboard speakers and battery power capability allow the CK61 to function as a self-contained portable performance rig, delivering Yamaha sound quality anywhere from the street corner to the studio. With a newly designed FSB key action inspired by Yamaha's historic FS designs, the CK61 offers an expressive playing experience tailored for stage, studio, and beyond.
