The main differences are in the on-board sound sources, sounds, and effects.

Sounds: While the CP88/73 has only AWM2 sound source and mainly piano/electric piano, the YC series has three sound source systems, VCM organ sound source, FM sound source and AWM2 sound source, and has a well-balanced voice lineup with selected piano/electric piano from CP, organ and synth sounds etc.

Effects: The YC series features the newly developed VCM rotary speaker and VCM effects, which use VCM technology.

Operators: The YC series is equipped with a physical drawbar for organ playing.

In addition to different keys, dimensions, and weights, each is equipped with an optimized LIVE SET. The YC73/88 is also compatible with the music rest "YMR-04".
