I just picked one up with power supply, sustain pedal and music stand all still with it for $75. Sounds great. Looks unused with no yellowing or blemishes. My first piano back in 1987 was a Yamaha PF 10 that I learned on in school and got one for myself.
I remember back in summer 2005 when the Argos Extra catalogues hit all Argos stores lusting after this keyboard, the DGX-205 and the PSR-295 back when I had a sh*tty Casio LK-35. I did consider the DGX-505 but it was bit too expensive, I wanted the DGX-205 but those were sold out but fortunately I managed to get one of the last PSR-295's in May 2006 just after these models were discontinued and I still have the PSR-295 as my main arranger keyboard. In November last year I bought a used Yamaha Motif Xs6 which is my new main keyboard.
I have the DGX-650 with fully weighted, hammer action keys. It's fantastic, especially for the money. Weighted keys are very important in terms of piano technique, and I find it easier to play that way...I'm less prone to fumbling around. I believe the DGX-505 has "lightly weighted" keys. Definitely not the same thing.
It does, but really feels NOTHING like an acoustic piano. The sensitivity adjustment only changes the volume response of the key, not it's actual feel or weight.
This range of entry level arranger keyboards are so underrated. If anybody has the video of this guy demonstrating the Yamaha PSR-295 please could they upload it?
@UMTomaS i think the 505 may have slightly more voices, i counted something like 480 as well as 88 note keys which btw does make a big difference if you want to play something quite adventurous.
It's still a great keyboard, my current keyboard is still the 61 key version the PSR-295. A used keyboard is also cheaper than a new one and I haven't upgraded ever since.
Hi , can anybody say me, what music did he play on the start of his demonstration ? It was very melodious, so would like to know which music that was ? I heard that before but not getting, Please tell me what music was that which was played by him at the start of demonstration .Please help. Thank you.
It's still a great keyboard if you can't afford a Tyros or a Clavinova. It's the perfect balance between having a keyboard and a piano rolled into one.
@UMTomaS im unsure because i dont really know what lightweighted keys are, they definetly have more resistance than my old keyboard, they are box shaped and they have touch response.
@jonathanbain14 DGX-305 has 480 voices as well as DGX-505. I still think that the only difference is a number of the keys. Does DGX-505 have a piano action? Or just light-weighted keys like DGX-305?
Its a Smartmedia card. An old type of media card generally used in instruments and cameras. It was replaced by SD card generally. I have this and a card. It adds "infinite" "user songs" to the memory banks. Without the card, you only get 5 songs to store.
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying . I checked some people said weighted key
Great keyboard, but why YAMAHA did you make the piano sample worse in the top range on the next generation after this? So sad about that, because I always stick with YAMAHA.
Can someone tell me what is the difference between DGX-505 and DGX-305?? The only difference that I found is that DGX-505 has 88 keys and DGX-305 has 76 keys. Is it just about this? 'cause other things like styles, voices, functions and keyboard look are completely same...
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying . Some days it is weighted, some days it is feathery light. I wanted weighted key ...
You can also use it in music production to create arpegios or make your midi parts sound "more professional". With USB you can even use this function with VST instruments.
Whoever says that you need weighted keys has very limited musical skills, this guy is proving that you don't necessarily need weighted keys to get a satisfying piano playing experience, in all actuality, touch sensitivity is all you need, it's all psychological, nobody at any of your live gigs will be able to tell you are on a digital piano with unweighted keys, all they're going to hear is that magnificent piano sound

You sold me at the elbow playing segment
Its the first thing I look for too :D

He lightly says "light weighted" like he doesn't want us to hear him. lol
Loooool
I tried it a half hour ago and I didn't feel any weighing at all.
Thanks for this demo. Is there any chance you still have it and can do another one that focuses on importing songs into it?

I had the dgx 650. I traded with my friend for a casio cdp 120. i don't need that much functions tbh and I want it to be small and slick.

GET THE MANUAL AND READ IT....
I know this is old about I’m getting a 505 model I’m looking forward to it
It's still a great keyboard, my current keyboard is still the 61 key version the PSR-295. A used
keyboard is also cheaper than a new one and I haven't upgraded ever since.
I was hoping you could tell me how to record my playing to my laptop? I have the same Yamaha modle (GDX 505).
Go on Google and type in dgx 505 manual pdf and download it and open it and look on the contents to find midi and you will find your answer

@levi12313 It´s called "Für Elise", famous Pianosong
This crazy german convinced me to buy this keyboard 12 years ago. I should have known something was off when he started to play with his elbow
This is the great and very likeable Michel Voncken.
And he is Dutch ;-)

How many sounds does it have
494 sounds.

What's the piece at the 1:00 minute mark?
How can I get a manual for the DGX 505.
Like to know more about media card and how to use them.
Its a Smartmedia card. An old type of media card generally used in instruments and cameras. It was replaced by SD card generally. I have this and a card. It adds "infinite" "user songs" to the memory banks. Without the card, you only get 5 songs to store.
Its amazing 😉
This guy used to be a milkman in my neighborhood.
How did you connect your keyboard to a computer? What cable do you need? Please anyone tell me??,
Either midi or a printer cable.
A USB lead and a driver.
this is the DGX-505, the DGX-505 has more octaves
He practically whispers "light weighted keys" like it's a bad thing. lmao
Brandon J Lutz I have this keyboard, and let me tell you firsthand.
It is a bad thing.
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying .
I checked some people said weighted key
@@ericaroundtheworld They are semi weighted, and imo better than the real thing.
Its very cool...i recomended for begginins and profesionals too =)
what is the name of that famous song that was played firstly?
Fur Elise by Pink Floyd
the piece at 1:01, what is its name and composer?
Mine turns on and shows the display screen but the sound doesn't work. What is the issue?
Qality
Great keyboard, but why YAMAHA did you make the piano sample worse in the top range on the next generation after this? So sad about that, because I always stick with YAMAHA.
@tylerstringerXxX holy crap O__O What, from Ebay? lol.

How much does it worth it?.. I am looking for a nice Keyboard
You can buy them fairly cheap as this has long been discontinued.
@mytrendir Thank you very much.

hi! Where can i find sheet music for the country music at 1:27 ?
Summer Holidays - Cliff Richard
Can anyone tell me the name of the second piece that he played.
All these years I'm sill struggling from recording a song
me too. need help
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying .
Some days it is weighted, some days it is feathery light. I wanted weighted key ...
Does anyone know the original price when this first came out? I looked on the internet and couldn't find it so i decided to ask the internet 😀😁😀
What about DGX-530? Is it better than this one?
Yea
Pprfavor alguien que pueda explicar cómo grabar en un teclado Yamaha DGX305 gracias
does this have synth tones
Yes.
Heyy guys help me out. how much does it cost?
@dirtyolbum96 yeah like a million of them
yes i got mine today.
can you make beats with this piano
Yes.
he actually said the name of the song before he played it, 'fur elise'
@epchav lol, that was hilarious
Light keys, bummer since weighted keys are always better for playing.
how old is this keyboard?
Qality
It came out in 2004.
It has split but you can't set what voice is in each section. Totally pointless to not have that feature!
You can set and change the split voice by holding down the split button and to select the dual
voice you press and hold the dual button.
Performance Assist is cheating. I could say something dirty about it, but i don't feel like it atm
You can also use it in music production to create arpegios or make your midi parts sound "more professional".
With USB you can even use this function with VST instruments.

Not been playing very long, have you?
LoL, so you don't play, weights help with dynamics
yes
TOTORO!!! :)
@CyXav728 About 650$ I guess.
bubi... says michael!
I just bought this off someone for 250 bucks off craigslist with stand included
haha woo i got that keyboard :)
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying
than the DGX-305
It's the same as the DGX-305 but with 88 keys.
I don't understand that. I think better buy PSR 9000 pro of course :]
@bluetube147 what the hell are you talking about. Your reply doesnt even make sense....
pretty old, the new model is Yamaha Dgx 530
It's still a great keyboard. I have a PSR-295 which is the 61 key version of the DXG-205.
? lol
wat?
