+Yamaha Corporation of America Can the reface synths be controlled from a midi keyboard via USB? Say from a korg microkey? Or can they only be controlled via the midi cable or from a computer?
@YamahaMusicUSA

Reuben Unkovich Yes, the keyboard can be controlled via another MIDI keyboard via a MIDI connection. It can also be controlled through your computer via USB simultaneously. However, it is not possible to connect a MIDI device to the USB port on reface without additional interfacing hardware.

+Yamaha Corporation of America I absolutely love the reface products, but I wish they weren't so expensive. I mean, you have to charge how much you do because of cost of manufacturing and design, but if they were 100 cheaper, I'd be way more inclined to buy them.

+Yamaha Corporation of America Are you coming out with a full size version? This is great but only because it gives me hope for an upgraded version, for an organ to only have 3 octaves it's like half an instrument, much like the CP. This organ in full size 5-octave is a perfect dream and would fill a hole in the market, especially if it's lower priced than those ridiculous nords. By the way, the only reason I'm interested in this is that it has the farf, vox, and yam models. Also a thing thats underrepresented in the market. So if you ever expand the YC line, please continue to take those models as seriously as the hammonds.

As a guitarist in a band who wants to occasionally add a bit of keyboard without having to shell out for or hump around a Nord, this is absolutely perfect. It would be great if they were all in the same keyboard though. Just have to choose which to get. This sounds epic though.

Reface CP is the closest to guitar amp interface (big knobs that have concrete actions). The CP has rhodes and wurlitzer emulations it perfectly completes guitar. As a guitar player it is a pleasure to play on the CP (small enough, nice sounds). But I really want the YC too!

Absolutely over the moon about mine that I got as a personal Christmas gift in 2020 with a cheap clean amp to plug it into. It has a setting to a much older Yamaha I used to have as a kid (got sold on me while I was at school, I still mourn it) I can’t believe such a beefy gigantic sound comes out of a device that’s a bit longer than my arm and so light to carry unlike my original Yamaha.

Yamaha I love this !!!. I just bought one. It's truly amazing. As for me, I would LOVE to see one more octave and perhaps add an ADDITIONALL keyboard, IE 2 manual and it would take over the world of music. Even stick with the 3 active but make it a duel keyboard and even that would be over the top insanely fun. Just do it, I can't imagine that you would have a backorder on them. Brilliant. thanks again.

They all sound wonderful. The best part is the interview with the Japanese designers of the Reface line. Wonderful people. So much enthusiasm in them. I am hoping larger audiences reach out to these instruments and buy them. Not just musicians, not just hobbyist, but everybody. That's what I'd like to see, and this is the right product for this to happen. I want Yamaha to sell million of these and change the world for the better.

I was sold at "let me try the next waveform..." 4:16
Wow... Last time I saw someone playing something that sounded like this.. I was in my great aunt's basement, and she was hammering out very old songs on a huge table sized organ that probably had a few decades on me..
This is my favourite Synth/Organ of the Reface family...Realy it's amazing!
I know what I'm gonna get myself for Christmas this year.
I used to hate organs. Until I saw this video years ago and for whatever reason, I keep coming back to watch it. I wish I had half the energy and spirit Dr. Mix puts into these videos. He's like the 'Ants Canada' of music. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll definitely get the comparison.
I was shocked, it legit sounds like an actual Hammond organ. Was no expecting that good of a sound
Such a great little instrument. In a parallel universe the keyboard section and the control part would be detachable thus giving the freedom of combining all four refaces on a single 88 key master keyboard like a Lego 😍

I've watched all of your Reface videos and left this one til last because I really wasn't expecting much from this model... But I think it's actually my favourite!
This looks like a lot of fun to play, with so many different timbral variations possible. High tweakability factor too, which is great.

I have a Hammond A-100 it's fantastic.
I can see this little organ being a really useful in a live setting. Say you'd want to thicken up the chorus of a few songs with some great Hammond or combo organ stuff, but might not have the space or desire to bring your organ/clonewheel and Leslie. I've tried the full Reface series and they all sound great- and I've owned a Hammond tonewheel organ, Fender Rhodes, vintage analogs, and a DX7IIFD. Perhaps we'll see some scaled-up versions of these later on, Yamaha? I sure hope so.
This is how you do a proper demo! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

The Reface series is so underrated. I've never really been into the organ sound, but even I can hear potential in it for house and techno music. Heard some nice settings in this demo. As all in the Reface series, this has topnotch effects. But you could still experiment with guitar pedals.

I love those slider caps. I’d love this look in the Reface - CS.
I still revisit this video, still one of the best demos on YT!
Connecting this to my Yamaha Montage 6 trough midi oh man can't wait.
wtf! that sounds insane! Stunning
Perfect as a plug-in to your existing MIDI keyboard(s) to add cool organ sounds.
Great demonstration! I grew up on Yamaha electone console organs and this captured the experience perfectly
que genialidad!!! siempre fui mas de korg... pero este organo me enamoro! saludos desde argentina!!
Wow! What a fantastic demo! Having grown up learning organ, I'm very fussy about my organ sounds. You did an awesome demo and you're a fabulous player! Yamaha should sell shiploads of these! I want one now!!!!

Excellent review! Man, I'm still cracking up about "I don't know why I'm playing Bridge Over Troubled Water."
Back in the 70's I had a Yamaha yc 30 and ive been looking for something to come close to it. Yamaha almost did it but they forgot a few things on this I really wanted from the yc 30 . The portamento strip woulda been nice to of added on this also the marimba switches woulda also made it extra great. Close but no cigar

I seriously want all of these! I can't decide. I love FM synthesis but the electric piano one is perfect for acoustic jams and this one is great for gospel!
Right sounds are amazing, left of centers sounds are interesting too. The resolution is solid and plain
Gets very "synthy" in some places. More versatile than one might initially think.
I used my YC live in a band for a while and liked it. Now I'm noticing at home when I'm trying to play two hands solo (as opposed to the one handed licks I was doing in the band) that the low notes always overpower the high notes. It doesn't matter where my drawbars are set, this is always a problem. No fun having the left hand bass/chords drown out the right hand melody. Disappointed with this discovery. Anyone else experience this?
Wow, not bad at all. I have a Nord Electro, and it I have to admit that this little one sounds pretty much alike. Congrats!
Very cool, i could spend all day listen to these sounds

It sounds like my good friend George who played a Hammond C3 at a Baptist Church for as long as I knew him. This probably weighs about five hundred pounds less so it is impressive that it gets those sounds
The only one of these 4 I would consider getting. And possibly the cp. Sounds amazing.
Sounds freakin dope just like all the Refaces. I've got the CP and just ordered the CS but this one would really be nice too. Would fill a big sound gap in my studio.
Hello Doctor Mix, I went to the specifications and played the audio samples, and the YC has the sounds that will be good for my church choir accompaniment and also jamming with my friends playing the 60s 70s music. It does not have the piano strings combi but it has superb organs. Overall, the YC model is for me. I heard the U.S. street price has gone down to below $400. thanks Ed
