YAMAHA YC Series Stage Keyboard
New Functions in YC Version 1.10
Yamaha has upgraded the YC firmware, adding the following new functions.
This manual describes additions and changes with respect to the Owner’s Manual
that came with your instrument.
- The setting method of vibrato (CC # 1: Modulation) has been changed.
- Operability has been improved.
- New Live Set Sounds have been added.
- New Voices have been added.
Changing the setting method of vibrato (CC # 1: Modulation)
The new “P.Mod” parameter (related to pitch modulation) has been added to
pitch modulation in the settings for each Sound section of the Live Set Sound.
The “Modulation Lever” parameters “P.Mod Depth” and “P.Mod Speed,” originally
in the “Controllers” of the Live Set Sound have been moved to “P.Mod.”
“P.Mod Initial” has also been added to “P.Mod.”
With the “P.Mod Initial” parameter, the amount of change in P.Mod (CC #1:
Modulation) can now be set to a value other than 0 when switching Live Sets.
If you change “P.Mod Initial” to a value other than the initial value (0), the
icon will be displayed on the top screen.

Improved operability
To call up the Voice list, press and hold or double-click the Voice select
switch on the top screen. 
When you press the [Enter] button on a screen showing a parameter value, the level in the hierarchy now returns to the previous one. This allows you to set other parameters continuously. Press and hold the [EXIT] button to return to the top screen.
NOTE
When you are in the MENU screen, press the [MENU] button to return to the top
screen. When you are in the SETTINGS screen, press the [SETTINGS] button to
