The CK76 brings together a wide selection of Yamaha's stage keyboard sounds, including acoustic pianos based on the Yamaha CFX, S700 and CF3 concert grands and the U1 upright piano. A broad collection of electric pianos, organs, synthesisers, strings, brass, guitars and other instruments gives performing musicians the sounds needed to cover a wide variety of musical styles.
A dedicated organ section provides five organ types together with nine physical drawbars, rotary speaker controls, percussion and vibrato/chorus effects. Dedicated filter, envelope and effects controls also provide direct access to important synthesiser parameters, allowing sounds to be adjusted quickly without having to navigate through complicated menus.
Three internal Parts can be split, layered and mixed directly from the front panel, while Live Sets allow complete performance setups to be stored and recalled quickly. The CK76 can also operate as a four-zone MIDI master keyboard for controlling external MIDI equipment, software instruments and more complex performance setups.
Built-in stereo speakers with 6 W + 6 W amplification mean the CK76 can be played without connecting an external sound system. It can also operate from eight AA batteries, making it particularly useful for rehearsals, teaching, busking and performances where mains power or amplification may not be readily available.
Connectivity includes stereo line outputs, A/D inputs, headphones, two pedal connections, traditional MIDI IN and OUT, USB TO HOST and USB TO DEVICE. Bluetooth Audio allows backing tracks and music from a compatible mobile device to be played through the CK76's speakers, while the built-in USB audio interface allows stereo audio to be transferred between the keyboard and a computer or compatible device.
With its combination of 76 semi-weighted keys, intuitive hands-on controls, extensive sound library, built-in speakers and lightweight construction, the Yamaha CK76 is an excellent choice for gigging musicians who need a highly portable keyboard without sacrificing playing range or performance features.

Q: Is the Yamaha CK76 a weighted keyboard?
