Here is a complete rig for the Yamaha YC. I wanted the ultimate in flexibility, sound, and feel. I love this rig, and I just got it put together a couple of months ago, but I'm now going back to school (in my late 30s!) for Electrical Engineering, so my wife and I agreed that I would reduce my toys (we're also downsizing into a smaller home closer to the campus). I always had this notion that I would make a reasonable amount of money playing out (mostly jazz- at least enough to pay for the gear?!), but it's never really happened : ( None of this gear has ever been gigged or even removed from my house. It all comes from a non-smoking home, and I always wash my hands before handling my gear. It's all in very good or like-new condition.
A few years ago I bought the M-Audio Axiom 61 to use with my Macbook (B4 software). I liked everything about it, except the diving board keys. So, I took the Axiom apart, and meticulously sanded and polished the end of *each key*, making it a waterfall key bed. This process alone took me over a week. But the end product speaks for itself- it really feels right! I am very proud of this on it's own. One reason I chose this controller is that it has the drawbar mode, which reverses the sliders to work like true drawbars- pull toward you to increase the volume of the harmonic. It plays VERY nice! I even created little labels for the controls! I'm including the Yamaha midi implementation charts with this rig. I've not yet had the time to configure the drawbars etc.Of course, no B3 rig is complete without a proper air-throwing rotor, so I bought the best there is, the original Neo Ventilator. I've had this for a few years, and it's in like-new condition with one exception- I installed a switch to allow mono or stereo input operation. The Ventilator came with an addendum that shows you how to re-solder two connections to make it stereo. But if you need to go back to mono input, you have to solder it back again. I just used a switch, and now it's invaluable. Comes with the original box and paperwork (my wife wrote "kitchen" on the top of the box, she was going to use it to move our silverware- she said it's a "cute box". Didn't happen!)When the Yamaha YC came out, I was truly intrigued. LOVE the size, and the sound is really amazing!! I just bought this new a couple of months ago. I really love that you can throw some batteries into it, and play it anywhere. It sounds great, and plays ok, but you really need the full-sized keys to dig in. When you play this engine on the Axiom, it becomes a whole new beast. ESPECIALLY through the Ventilator. It comes with the original box and paperwork.I bought the Yamaha FC7 stereo volume pedal to control it all, it it works beautifully. It has a nice weight and nice throw to it. Comes with the original box.I'm including a Hosa stereo 1/4 cable. This takes you from the stereo outs of the YC to the stereo IN of the Ventilator, preserving the stereo signal. The only thing you need to provide is your own MIDI cable (I still need mine), and you can hit the ground running!
