Yamaha YC61 | Michele Papadia | Performance

Renowned pianist, organist and session musician Michele Papadia performs with the Yamaha YC61 Stage Keyboard. Michele digs into the VCM Organ Engine and new waterfall keyboard to put some soul into this performance. He is joined in this performance by Giovanni Giorgi on drums and Federico Malaman on bass guitar.
Michele Papadia is one of the most requested pianists/hammondists in the US and has featured on over 50 recordings to date. On top of classical and jazz studies, Michele specializes in various aspects of Afro-American music (jazz, blues, gospel, funk, soul, pop, live electronics).
Designed for gigging keyboardists, the YC61 features our proprietary Yamaha Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) Organ engine with physical drawbars, intuitive real-time control and authentic Acoustic/Electric Piano and FM synth sound. It’s the perfect top keyboard for any rig and the latest in a long line of iconic stage keyboards from Yamaha.

Nossa. Já fui em muitos shows do Michele Papadia e, ao vivo, é um músico incrível! Ele é capaz de fazer o Hammond falar. Aqui vejo que a fidelidade do som da Yamaha é TOP! Lindo vídeo, muito dinâmico e a música... show de bola!

[@cdf0048]

[@nicholasrutigliano527]

Probably 3 of the best italian musician at the moment. I hope one day I'll be able to play with you guys!! 🔥

[@phd_sound]

Amazing demo of a fantastic instrument!

[@gingergennaro8704]

Absolutely STUNNING! Easily one of the best grooves and one of the best musicians I've ever heard, especially the keyboard player! Seriously a "must have" keyboard!

[@pinoomodeisale4324]

Fantastici, tutti!

[@itsm00re]

Ok that's definitely the most dope keyboard I've ever seen 🔥🔥🔥 so cool!! Besides you have to be really skilled to play at that level ofc, so great job 🤙🏻

[@bohris3588]

[@ilmaestrostocchino]

[@kitzukiuchiwa2]

What a great Keyboard player!!! :D

[@jjaa2002]

My goodnesssssss!!!, lost for words...

[@marcoballa]

Great demo!

[@wtumadremtupadre]

Super Cool!

[@1970piano]

Such a great keyboardist! Organ sounds great, too! Does he use H1, H2 or H3 there? 🤔

[@beethovenhlira]

There are no comments against it when you have mastery of the instrument and fluency in timbre.

[@steveraschella8233]

Almost sound like he’s using a Leslie or pedal as the rotary in the YC wasn’t “fixed” until 2/22…like to hear another demo w the 1.2 update…this dude is good (and Italian👊)!

[@giuseppeportelli2340]

fantastici.

[@brunoalbert8120]

Bonjour Michele, super démo ! peux tu nous donner ton secret pour le réglage de leslie ?

[@arjay1949]

Great groove --- but no way is that using the current internal rotary simulation -- more like a real Leslie, I suspect... (maybe a Vent?)

[@Namors-Channel]

😳 awesome skills ... my YC61 does not do that ...

[@claudiatagliacozzo693]

Is the keyboardist included in the price? 🤣🎶

[@andreebarrero9564]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stefanosilano1430]

Great organ sound, but in this video they're using a real leslie 145 or 147 for sure.

[@electricgrand7929]

Sounds very much like a Leslie 145/147 -- the bright, 'washy' sweep. Since this is an official Yamaha marketing video, they should be open about what outboard equipment they have used.

[@michelepapadia4275]

Ciao Stefano, nice to meet you. I used a handmade mini leslie, just the head, to open the top a bit .. not a 145/147 or other tube or solid state leslie. The sound is all of course from the YC. This is because I received the instrument the same day as the video and I did not have time to go and adjust the internal parameters and modify the sound according to my tastes. Maybe I'll make more videos using internal simulation only. It is really a great machine to have on stage!! All the best, Michele

[@dennistrouble9971]

Amazing. Do you have some pictures or video on the minileslie? I think I would prefer using a real leslie on the Yamaha - and all other clones for that matter. But that's just me I guess.

[@steveraschella8233]

@@michelepapadia4275 yes please make another video with the new 1.2 OS for the YC…excellent B3 chops!

[@fabiomontagnolahammond78]

Complimenti Michele faresti suonare bene anche una pianola😂😂

[@vanessajazp6341]

Decent demo, but the rhythm section is overwhelming the keys.

[@EBarros2006]

Great playing, but the organ still has that fake sound !! Much better sounding B3 plug ins available...

[@irt1971]

What a mess of confusing noise. These three are individually good players, but that was a bad mix.
