    Without a doubt. the best demo of anything any time! As a professional educator I was very impressed with his rapport, his instructional modality (say it, see it, do it), and step by step approach. 5-star! 👍 I am preparing to purchase a digital piano…he sealed the deal. I found my piano. Thank you.

    I tried this today and loved it. It might be perfect for me because stroke froze my left arm and hand. I need to find out if it can record the chord changes my left hand would play and then layer melody my right hand would play. If it can it would be an "assistive device" for hand loss/disability.

    I really like your demos. Thank you so much for this. It always depends on what you need. For me, this instrument again offers way too many possibilities, but it gives me what I'm looking for: good 88-key keyboard, good piano sounds for my taste, great Yamaha quality auto accompaniment. Besides saxophone and flute as a soloist, this will be my new accompaniment instrument for a singer after selling my PSR-S975.

    I think it’s important to demo the computer capabilities with a DAW. With the USB audio/midi using a DAW is a piece of cake and syncing a VST to the DGX is almost flawless.
    When I was searching for info concerning the full USB function I found nothing on UA-cam?
    It’s probably a deal breaker for some who actually would use the board for midi but may think the implantation is not there. I found even the limited ADSR on the board can control parameters in most VST’s.
    The DGX is more than a stand alone board.

      @@marcelcouture5373 yes, it can save and export ("backup") MIDI songs ("data") to a USB drive, which I believe you can then import into your DAW, though I'm not sure if you'll need to convert the MIDI to the MIDI-0 format, which is notably also playable on Player Pianos!
      "You can record your performance as an audio file (WAV format - 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit resolution,
      stereo) directly to a USB flash drive. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single
      recording.
      Sounds that can be recorded:
      • All sounds produced by your performance (Main, Layer, Left, Song, Style)
      • Microphone sound input from the [MIC INPUT] jack (page 77)
      • Audio Input Sound from connected devices (page 95)
      NOTE
      • If you want to record each part separately, or edit the recorded data after saving, record the data as a MIDI Song (page 68).
      • To record your keyboard performance and microphone sound separately, record your keyboard performance as a MIDI Song
      (page 68), and then record the microphone sound by using the USB Audio Recorder function"

    After this demo, I purchased the DGX670. This demo showed me exactly what I wanted to know about the keyboard before purchase. Being able to create my own arrangements via multi-tracks was most important and that together with being able to hook up a microphone, sign along with the beat, and record to the keyboard got me sold.

    It's so well done Tony... lovable by all means! Good to hear those notes from Aaron Copland's fanfare to the Common man played by you.
    It's incredible how Yamaha responded to Roland's and Kawai's new products! They put a few things from Yamaha Genos, the CFX grand from the P-515, and the price of the P-125 -more or less-, and it all makes a splendid package. It makes an end-product you can't criticize!!

    • @synphonix123
      @synphonix123 3 роки тому +1

      Tony's hitting those keys pretty hard, so it's likely sounding the upper velocity layer samples which should be expected to sound a brighter and a bit metallic. I don't own the 670, but I just tried one at the music store - if you "close the lid" in the piano room setting, you can eliminate much of that metallic sound.

    So this is Yamaha’s newly updated product. I so it at the Guitar Center yesterday. I was so impressed. I have been looking for my next digital piano for a couple years while pandemic with my not so good digital baby grand. Music stores don’t have many choices but when I tried this DGX-670 I was sold. I was looking for the only one as close as possible to the acoustic piano. I didn’t need any other features like organ sounds or drum sounds etc. And this key action was not I expected but I couldn’t help but have to forgive it this one time. Checked all the YT reviews and decided I will get it today to end my journey for the one. I am very very beginner born again many times piano student , to me P-45 must be perfect but I like DGX-670 so much I am getting it. Usually when I Couldn’t decide which one I should take I would buy all of them but this one is superior to anything. I think.

    • @1spartacus1337
      @1spartacus1337 2 роки тому +1

      You made a great choice.
      The DGX has the same action as the P125. DGx 670 can be found for about $850 USD the P125 is $700. $150 difference gets you far more piano with the same action. Only reason to get the P125 over the DGX 670 is portability. If it’s for a student taking it to and from school the lighter weight is better as the P125 is a thinner lighthearted piano. If it’s for the home go with the DGX670.

    Outstanding demonstration! Forget the piano...I'd like to buy your musical talent! The features of the DGX-670 simply outweigh its compromises and I don't believe anything really competes with it an this price point. Not interested in the arranger features you say? Well it'll cost you either the same or slightly more to buy a comparable electric piano minus the arranger features. And even then, the piano sounds or action won't be much better. It all depends on what the user is looking for, though. For example, there are better choices for portability or better connectivity.

    The sounds are good but its connectivity is worst e.g no separate outputs no headphone jack there is only one port for sound out which can be used both for external out put as as well headphones.....and when you put headphones jack the sound from speaker will turned off...... Its registration memory is less one can only save only 33 sounds......one can also layer two sounds.....yamaha has really limited its capability deliberately.....

    Not much I can add to all the kudos other than vehemently agree this is one of the best tech demos I’ve ever seen, regardless of product category. I am wavering between the DGX-670 and the Roland FP-E50 (there is a pretty good head-to-head comparison video on YT), but this demo may have clinched it for the Yamaha. Regardless of what I ultimately choose, we really are living in a no-lose competitive environment. All the major brands seem to be bringing the best features from their “pro” models into their mid-market products, and offering them at a killer price point. The “invisible hand” of free markets works its magic once again!

    BiG QUESTION: Thanks for an excellent review of the DGX-670! This is my first modern electronic keyboard. I'm a home piano player / Singer-songwriter. Less of a traveling musician.
    I know how to record myself playing the piano and save my recording. My question is this: After I record myself playing the piano, how can I afterward record myself singing the song with the piano, and then save the combined piano/vocals as a WAV file? I hope that question is clear. I'd like to master and record the piano first, then layer my singing over top of the piano and save them as a single file. I've looked everywhere for instructions on this (including reading the manual :-)

    • @1spartacus1337
      @1spartacus1337 2 роки тому

      Using the DGX 670 you can only record voice while playing the piano. It’ll save it as a WAVE. It doesn’t allow you to layer it. Other thing you can do is get a microphone that connects to the computer record yourself their then using software merge both the vocal and piano together.
      Otherwise if you just want to use the DGX it doesn’t layer it.

      @@JoeLinux2000 I personally like Yamaha's saxophone sonds and I think they are still usable in muic production as they are the
      same samples used in Halion which is a VST instrument by Steinberg. To be honest saxophones are extreamly difficult to get
      right on a keyboard so you learn to accept they will sound digitized no matter what. Although I have Halion I am hoping to go
      hardware and maybe buy a used Tyros 5 or most likely a Yamaha PSR-SX900 which basically is the 61 key version of this as
      I don't really have space for a piano style keyboard. The PSR-SX700 and SX900 also have a touch screen giving you better
      realtime control over the organ flutes sounds although with the buttons you can also use the jog wheel to more instantly
      change things but physical sliders might be better for the virtual organ drawbars.

      I have wondered, are the wooden keys really better, or just a gimmick (as it seems that there would have to be plastic against plastic somewhere in the linkage) I am mostly interested in the key-bed action as I'm tired of hearing the clacking! I also wonder if I can download those other rhythms to the 515?

    Very impressive and nice. However, it seems like Yamaha have totally changed direction on the DGX series, especially the 600 range. Yes, there is always improvements and improvements cost. The cost of the 670 is nearly twice the cost of the 620. No doubt the forthcoming improvements will push the DGX series into the price bracket of the Auris series with a lwider range of capabilities.

    One of the best demos I've heard on the DGX670. This keyboard is on my wish list to had to my stuff. I've been playing Yamaha portable keyboards for over 30 years. It bothers me that Yamaha doesn't solicit any input from musicians playing their keyboards. Helpful things to consider. A halfway decent speaker system that can handle at least 30 Watts. Why should you have to carry a PA to use this instrument for every gig. Also. If you are using an external PA it would be nice if you could shut off the onboard speakers. I accomplish this by plugging in a stereo headphone jack into the headphone jack to shut off the speakers. Why would you do this. When you play a dance and realize you blew your onboard speakers (like I have done). Yamaha has no process to get input for the players of their instruments. If you can pass this on to Yamaha Tony that would be great.

      @@musicmatters1114 I haven't got a DGX-670 yet. So can only comment on the PX560, which, because of money problems, I had to sell a while back. The answer to your question is that it depends somewhat on what you want to use your keyboard for. For me, it's making original (original for me at least) music, not necessarily for performing. All things considered, the PX560 is a fantastic keyboard for both performing and for original music production. If you can afford either the DGX-670 or the PX560, and you want a stage or performing keyboard, then I would recommend the PX560. Be aware that the keyboard action will take some getting used to. It will take some practice to get up to speed if your fingers aren't used to the fully weighted, hammer action. As for my situation, I eventually started back with a Yamaha ew425. Next one will be the DGX-670 because I'm just curious about it, and it has all the features I need. Then, hopefully in a year or so when my finances are better, I'm gonna get another new PX560 (or its upgrade in approx. the same price range, if that happens) because I really liked it.

    First of all, I want to thank you for your ability to play. I truly enjoy listening to you play, and I wish I had studied piano a lot more when I was younger to be able to do a quarter of what you do now. What you do with arranger keyboards is amazing. I have a rather old Korg PA800, and it's getting long in tooth. I really wanted a PA4X-76, but I'm going to be waiting to see what the new PA5X 76 is going to be like, but I can't afford it right now. Heck, I can't afford a DGX-670 right now, either, but this instrument is a true step up from the previous DGX keyboards, and I wouldn't mind supplementing my PA800 with one of these. In the U.S., with the stand and three pedal assembly, less than $1,100, truly a good deal for what this keyboard is, and I would be more than willing to recommend it to anyone looking for an 88 key keyboard for beginning students.

  • @bobzuidhoek9785
    @bobzuidhoek9785 3 роки тому +7

    I have the DGX 670 and thoroughly compared it with the PSR SX600. Also put it next to SX700 and SX900 in a store. After not having played piano and keyboard for 30 years, I leaned towards the DGX for the better digital piano features and 88 keys. I can really say the DGX is a great instrument. If you know keyboard/piano and music basics, the user interface is self explanatory, which I find quite an achievement, because historically you needed a manual next to you to get the most out of your instrument. The LCD-screen is great and buttons work faster than touch screen (so I don't miss that). The instrument feels high quality all around, for example the tactile buttons. An impressive job Yamaha really got right.
    I read many worries about the speakers and 6w amplification, but because the speakers have large cavities where they sit in, the sound is very capable and of high quality. No worries there really. I did improve it for myself by adding a set of Yamaha HS-8 monitor speakers to it (already had these). In the menu, you can set that the onboard speakers and the headphones out line work at the same time. I blend volume of the onboard speakers and the HS-8 monitors 50/50 and that is an awesome and rich experience!
    Things I like to see Yamaha do even better are: (1) get rid of the proprietary LP1-three pedal DIN-6-connector and replace with 3x 1/4 inch plugs. This way you can use 4 separate standard pedals or other switches. I did not want the LP-1 because I did not want the piano stand, but because of the connector, you can't go round the LP1. (2) Not including a line out at the back is not cool. (3) Give us 3 buttons for style intro and 3 buttons for style ending. It's a shame you have to go deep into settings to find the variations. (4) Midi to device is missing. (5) Add headphones jack in front AND keep in the rear.
    Essentially, it would be awesome if Yamaha would remove the 'tension' between their DGX and PSR SX keyboards. What could be a great idea, is if they just take the SX 600 platform and make that in 2 variations (light portable 61-key keyboard and somewhat less portable 88-key digital piano). And then keep the foundation identical. Then do the same thing with the PSR SX700 and SX900, and improve the quality of the piano keys from GHS to GH3 as you go up the range.
    I really wanted to have the best of both worlds of the SX600 and DGX 670 and would have paid a couple of 100 extra to get it.
    Nevertheless, an awesome piece of kit. Can't go wrong with this one!
