The Yamaha Reface YC mini-key keyboard digitally emulates the tone wheel and transistor combo organs of the 60’s including Hammond, Vox, Farfisa, Ace Tone, and Yamaha. 9 drawbars, percussion switch and a vibrato/chorus switch switch allow for a wide range of organ sounds. A rotary speaker section emulates a Leslie speaker and allow for control of speed; fast, slow, stop and off. Distortion and Reverb effects are also onboard. 128-note polyphony ensures a dropout-free performance. It has been used in recordings by Colleen and Mount Kimbie. Watch a demo here.
