Yamaha CK61 Stage Keyboard

The Yamaha CK61 is a true all-around keyboard designed for stage, studio and home use wherever a good and varied keyboard sound is required. This ranges from the professional live stage to the small club to busking in the city centre where no power is available. Whether it‘s songwriting, a choir rehearsal, a quick serenade, or a recording production in the studio or bedroom - with the CK61, you‘re guaranteed to have the right instrument at hand for such occasions and more.

The CK61 is aimed at keyboardists who appreciate lightweight keys, an equally lightweight instrument, and compact dimensions. With an abundance of “bread and butter sounds”, controllers for organ sounds, and numerous synthesiser voices, there is plenty of basic material for all requirements. Outstanding are the intuitive possibilities for fast and effective sound processing with Knobs for Filter and Envelope. A comprehensive selection of Effects gives the sound the perfect finish so that hardly any wishes should remain unfulfilled.

Parts & Voices
The sound generation of the CK Series can be distributed over up to three Parts. All Parts have the same range of functions, and all available Voices (incl. organ) can be assigned individually. The most important controls for Parts and Voice selection are located to the left of, and directly below the display. There are two buttons per Part - for switching on/off and for selecting the Parts. Directly above them, Sliders for the Part Volume can be found. Below the display, the [CATEGORY] buttons can be used to select a Voice for the currently active Part.

Effects
The CK Series features a very comprehensive Effects system. Three independent Effects are available for each Part, which can be applied to all available Voices. The first of these
Effects is set to the superordinate Category “Drive” and contains Distortion Effects as well as Rotary Speaker Simulation and a Compressor. The other two Effects are identical and provide 36 variations each from different Effect Categories.

Battery Operation / Speakers
The CK Series is perfectly prepared for spontaneous music-making. Even when there is no power supply and/or no amplification system available. With eight AA batteries or rechargeable batteries, the instruments can be operated independently of the mains supply. A corresponding indicator in the display shows the approximate remaining capacity of the batteries.

The active speaker system can be switched by a switch on the back of the instrument. The length of operating time with battery power is, of course, directly dependent on the power demanded from the speaker system. Higher volumes over a longer period of time reduce the capacity of the batteries more quickly.

When a lower capacity limit is reached, a warning message appears on the display and the speaker system is switched off at the same time. This leaves enough remaining capacity to save any settings made and to save a Backup File on a USB flash drive.

Stereo Audio Input
The CK61 is equipped with a very flexible stereo Input. This can be used for external instruments, audio players, or microphones.
