[@JuckoLelle]

I would LOVE a build in rechargeable battery

[@tanassi1377]

Hello,can you turn off loudspeakers when you connect it to an amplifier? thank you! Excellent piano sound!

[@x2mars]

Thanks for the review, two questions: Plugging a guitar or mic into it, can those sounds also go usb into a computer DAW? How are the built in speakers, good enough for a small dorm room?

[@ugurdayancler9360]

How can I send audio to different outputs in split mode? for example, convert bass sound to left channel, piano sound to right channel to stereo?

[@williamtocajr.6483]

Can we plug a subwoofer to complement the on board speakers?

[@Noeman2009]

How can I re-download the Cubase for my new laptop? Is the procedure easy?

[@jacksondurdin512]

So you could record songs with a full band through the keyboard?

[@stefanoehlin]

Why no music rest?

[@TheYoungMunee]

Does the kx61 have the same weighted keys as the kx8 ?

[@rhomebartido2623]

have this item philipines

[@celpabedn]

Why are synths mostly not 88keys?

[@aklabanov1480]

Hi, do You know the Key Width and Octave Distance of CK61? Thank You.

[@AmericanmusicalAMS]

The CK61 has full size keys and features the new 61-key “FSB” or “Future System Basic” action, inspired by the famed “FS” or “Future System” action that was originally developed for Electone organs like the legendary FX-1. In the spirit of the original “FS” action, FSB uses a completely new structure. This action features a heavier initial key resistance and increased key travel for a wider range of expression and stability. This action is great for keyboardists playing organ, synths, strings and more, and provides piano and electric pianos with a dynamic, expressive response. The CK61 also has transpose as well as octave buttons for access to the full range of pitches. -Sam

[@curiousinvestigator5448]

​@@AmericanmusicalAMSNo the keys are not full size, octave is a few mm short. But I believe this is common for Yamaha 61 key boards. Even on the YC.

[@madness8556]

I'm hoping that the CK61 doesn't have a keyboard with the same crappy plasticky action as on the MODX 6 and 7.

[@DeyquanBowens]

It does lol

[@madness8556]

@@DeyquanBowens when will Yamaha, a company renowned for building and manufacturing pianos and organs finally realise that they do themselves absolutely no favours by using crappy, cheap arse actions on instruments that are supposed to be directed towards pro and semi pro players?

[@hvarskloxofficial8969]

@@madness8556The pro-level stage keyboards by Yamaha are the CP and YC lines, and the CP88 has one of the finest actions I’ve played (wooden, with hammers-makes the board fairly hefty). My guess is the CK line is meant to be more portable and not compete in action quality with the CP and YC lines, although I agree that it’s a big bummer not to have decent action on these keyboards which are still really quite expensive.

[@revp01]

Unfortunately, It does

[@DonLeino]

The action is different than the Modx/psr action . Its not a bad action , the build is plastic , but thats par for the price point. I may do a mod to shallow the key dip a bit.

[@caseytator2264]

Guess we not getting any flagship for now

[@johndeaux3703]

I think the YC61/88 is the flagship.
