We are indeed!
On piano sound, which one is better? The EW 410 or the DGX 670?
I just love this guy. I don’t even play piano but his game is A. He studies his pianos well and then gives us top info. Bravo!
Thank you for your kind compliments. ☺️
@@JeremySee is it the keyboard fiture has same complete with this?
i mean sx600 with this
i purchased the E373 to start learning the piano. I enjoyed playing with the accompaniment styles quite a lot, and somewhere along the way i developed a liking for learning classical pieces as well. At that point it became gradually apparent to me that 61 unweighted keys just wasn't enough - i simply could not develop the control and precision that only weighted keys can offer... and most of the classical pieces needed a full octave range of 88 keys. I then started looking for something with 88 weighted keys for classical pieces, but i still wanted something with quality arranger functions as well - but not way too over the top as with the likes of the Genos or the Montage which has way too many complex functions i probably wouldn't even use. Then i saw the DGX670 with all of its glorious features taken from higher-end flagship models and beautiful piano samples - it had everything i needed with 88 weighted keys and just the right level of quality, easy-to-use arranger functions (which is a significant improvement over my old E373's arranger samples). Really, it was a no-brainer purchase - best one i've ever made. Got the white variant of the DGX670 along with the dedicated stand and 3-pedal system - all of which looks reaaaaal nice at home - guests are quick to compliment it (especially the ladies ;) )
Just today I had the opportunity to lay hands on the DGX-670 and that was my impression. It was a Wow! moment. I am not a professional player, just enough to support my church's worship team. We also have a Roland Juno DS-88. Very good also,, but the DGX-670 has many basic enrichment features readily available and intuitive to get. I am happy, that without knowing, Jeremy had ranked this keyboard well on top.
My church has the DGX-640. This successor IS really beautiful. Thanks for the review, Sir!
I’ve had my DGX670 for almost two weeks now, upgrading from a Casiotone CT-S300 but, in a way, it feels like I have always had a DGX670.
I will be celebrating my first year as a pianist on March 10th.
Yamaha ought to release a "lite" version of those with no speakers, no wireless functions but with decent separated stereo LR output jacks. This will make it more lightweight and more suitable for live stage application.
Yes, needs a line out. Although, I think you could use USB out to a computer soundcard. Also could use a better keyboard with triple-sensor and matt key tops. Most reviewers seem immediately decide it's the best keyboard they've ever played because they're gaga over the sample quality, and a zillion extra settings which most people will never use, when it's obvious that there are shortcomings and useful features which were left out.
@@acoustic61Wow no line out is such an incredible oversight... a digital piano and there's no real way to record.
@@F0CKSTR0T It does have a line out, just not a dedicated one. You can set the 'Phones/Line out' jack to either headphone or line levels in the menus (IIRC).
Yes, I am a living testimony that GOD WILL MAKE A WAY!! Thank you for all your reviews
Amen 🙏
Okay, so I recently bought the Yamaha DGX-670 because it's the Portable Grand Piano series after saving enough money. This came after a year after my old Portable Grand Piano finally bit the dust after 10 years. It's been in 5 different houses/apartments.
What I wasn't expecting was an upgrade that was seriously mind-blowing, I didn't know what I was missing out on.
Congrats & have fun!
Thanks Jeremy for your very informative and nicely done review of the new DGX-670. It is one of the best vids on this topic that one can currently find on internet! After my own extensive research, last week I got one of the first DGX-680s in Poland and I must say I'm really impressed by how much functionality and top quality samples Yamaha put into this instrument at such relatively low price. I had a 38-year break in playing piano after completing the elementary music school that unfortunately disheartened me from performing music. These were different times - just stiff classical repertoire, no improvisation or arrangement, merely traces of music theory and harmony laid down in an inattractive way... Now my daughter has started to learn playing piano and so she has inspired me to get back to the keyboard. DGX-670 seems to be a sweet spot for us both. Greetings and enjoy playing music!
Great choice! Have fun.
680? :)
Got mine today 😎
The speakers and the sound from them are really good.
The keyaction is very satisfying and dynamic.
However - as we have a very hot and moist summer in Denmark, my finges seems to glue to the blank white keys.
Some texture on the white keys would have been appropriated.
Will I be able to play using a sustain pedal
O DGX é um ótimo instrumento, mas prefiro o PX 560 da Casio, com muitos recursos e teclas texturizadas, como em um piano acústico.
For performing, you can use a bluetooth stereo audio mixer. So you don't necessarily need left and right output. Also, I bought a portable stand with rollers and a three pedal attachment that just rests on the floor. You don't need that old-fashioned unmovable stand and hang down pedal. For gigs, you can easily roll it around. In any case, it's a great instrument.
Would you please indicate a bluetooth audio mixer for your suggestion?
Can you run the DGX through a soundbar using Bluetooth?
Do you ever answer any of the questions that people have asked you or are you dead?
@@chuckfriebe843he's totally dead I guess. Rip
Yamaha calls it a portable grand, because normally you have to hire a piano moving company to move a grand piano.
Yup! If you see it that way. 😁
Just remember to renew your gym membership before taking out of your home.
@@mishafrog8786 try carrying around a "portable " kawai mp11se ... than this is very light....😂
The advantage of a heavier casing is the thumping sounds after pushing key down and the release does NOT make loud thumping sound. The lightweight keybaords, Studio Logic or Kurzweil and most other brands, I sent back after buying. So much thumping sound, loud, from other keyboards. The keybed in the Yamaha feels real to an acoustic and and much quieter because the keybed by Yamaha and the cabinet the keybed is in is better built. As mentioned, it is harder to carrey and if your in a band, you won't hear the thumping loud sound.
Thanks Jeremy for your honest and thorough review. I really think this dgx will be my next instrument, because it combines the elements of a clavinova, an arranger and a digital piano, at an affordable price. I loved the part where you warn us about how transportable it is without injuring our spinal discs, hehe. For these purposes, my PSR e463 is more practical, although I was surprised that it has the same speakers. I loved the functionalities and the look of its screen and how it looks on its pedestal with pedals.
Thank you for including Invention 8 again in your harpsichord sound review and singing to us.
Receive a big greeting from 🗿Chile🇨🇱
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Do you still play the e463 much? What about the portability issue with the dgx670?
A big thumbs up for this video! The instrument has been very well presented. To me, the major deal breaker is the lack of expandability - voice packs can’t be loaded. Also, no organ flutes. Aside from that, it took Yamaha 18 years to get the DGX to what it should have been from the get go. It’s a truly amazing offer now - a 88 key piano with modern arranger functions. And much, much cheaper than the Clavinova CVP
I totally agree!
honestly i dont care about the other sounds cause I like to play piano not the flute
Love your singing voice Jeremy!!!!😀 I love the piano 🎹!!!!!
Thank you for your kind compliments.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I will buy this one soon as my main Keyboard! Since I’m not yet very skilled in playing, I‘m looking forward to learning and improving my skills.
Jeremy, thank you for an excellent review! I purchased my DGX-670 today, based largely on your review. Thanks again.
Great review. The DGX-670 pretty much sounds like a jack of all trades, master of none keyboard. That's why I like it.
Thank you for watching that far into the video. 😍 I appreciate it.
I wouldn't say it's master of none. I haven't heard anything that comes close at its price point in the US. Sure it's not absolutely premium, but it's affordable. The negative is the weight. I had a thee legged vintage Clavinova, and trust me that was difficult to move with two people.
@@JoeLinux2000
I would say it is the master of none. It isn't a stand out in functionality in any particular way. It is well rounded but not tailored to a particular task. At its price point, it can't afford to be. For everything it does, you can find better focused keyboards that are better at the task they do. Even within Yamaha. YC-88, PSR-SX600, CP-88, and P-125 all better focused devices.
I am buying this specific keyboard on Amazon this weekend...since I am a long time member of Amazon Prime I get to pay for this keyboard with a $200.00 deposit before shipping and only $157.00 per month for 5 months. In my family there are tons of musicians and most are simply learners by ear and most never had any music classes or even know how to read musical notes. I am entry level as far as piano but I never put much effort into it and now that I am at that point and age in my life where I am more relaxed and settled down I will give it all I got to learn...and yes, learn by ear because in my family we don't need teachers or lessons or musical notes...we have natural talent to play instruments simply by ear and that is all we need.🎶🎹🎶😁
Hi Jeremy, I was wondering if you will be doing tutorials on the functions of this keyboard. The 670 is selling like hotcakes here in the US. I bought one for my son a few weeks ago and it has been going in and out of stock at several stores. So I would imagine there are a lot of people wandering how to use all the functions. Just a suggestion. Thank you for all your great videos
I will most certainly when time permits. I'm happy to help!
@@JeremySee I agree with his statements,a more in depth demo,showing how to save your settings and recall them,would be good ,and of course more in depth features,
It's a good keyboard. I still have my DGX230 , 76 Key , it does have quality sound. I did carry that one around. DGX670 is cheap because it does not have sd card slot or little or no USB storage.Good thing is , if you set the left part accompaniment to 53 , then you have plenty of octaves to play on the right part of the keyboard due to 88 keys. You are unable to download any style packs on DGX670. Still outstanding keyboard is the Korg pa1000.
Thank you for excellent review. At 29:30 you made the keyboard sound closer to an actual acoustic guitar with your playing than I have heard anyone before. Impressive!
Thank you Jeremy for your professional and thorough evaluations. It makes making a good decision for most of us an easy go.
John
These have just come back in stock in the piano store up the road from my house.
I’m going to go and get one before work tomorrow. I’ve been wanting the DGX660 for about 2 years, and am happy this updated model is going to be mine soon. Thanks for the review. I’ve played guitar and bass for 25 years and have always wanted to learn piano. I think this would be a great first keyboard for me.
Great choice!
@@JeremySee I’m home with it now, and about to open the boxes, to try it out.
You’re not wrong about how heavy it is.
I had to carry it up 3 flights of stairs to my apartment, and it barely fit around the corners.
Excellent review Jeremy! Loved the lights in the background. The DGX - 670 seems to be a really good and value for money especially since you are getting super realistic voices, well programmed styles with 13 different variations, 256 note polyphony, style and song creator options, etc. But, I feel they should'nt have compromised on the amplification.
Thank you for your kind words. Yamaha did have to get this to $799. 😉
@@JeremySee They sell them to dealers for half that amount.
I’m so impressed that Yamaha made this. And also having mega voices too I’m thinking about buying one dgx670 too. This will be fun in my living room. I can also play some tyros styles in it too. I really enjoyed watching your video about this Keyboard 🎹. 🤩😉😎👍
I came back to your video regarding the DGX-670. First of all, let me say that you did the song “God Will Make a Way” justice, just beautiful and glorifying the Lord! Since watching this video the first time, l have spent many hours playing old songs from my memory and music books. For me, the BEST PIANO tones are not the CFX, but a combination of the warm piano and the sweet DX sound. The rhythm section has some great choices with something for nearly everyone ! Thx again for your feedback on the DGX-670!
next step, canabalising the p515, and the Genos for a high end solution. and the middle step based on the SX900... this would give a whole range of keyboards and allow people to upgrade
If you can think it, it will happen.
The first 2 are some of my very most favorite songs - thank you, Jeremy
What’s the song he plays ? Without talking
This thing is unbelievable! It’s quite literally a FULL BLOWN HIGH END 88-Key PROFESSIONAL ARRANGER at an insane price! Style Creator, High End Effects processing, A full blown Sequencer AND Audio recorder with Mic and Guitar inputs?! AND 256 VOICES OF POLYPHONY?! WHAT?!
I mean, WOW! I can’t wait to get my hands on this thing!!!!
cool! I have heard the DGX 670 can use styles downloaded from some website and even styles from other yamaha models by using usb, something similar to expansion packs, but there is very little information about it, can you help me please?
Far the best explanation of this piano for now. Waiting for your comparision with the others similar. Good work, you're the top. JP
I have the DGX 505 . It’s 15 years old now and it still look and sounds like it did when it was new . Every key , button and dial works like new . I think it was 400 dollars when I got it new and it came with a nice wood stand. I can’t say anything bad about the dgx line . For the money they are hard to beat .
It just amaze me when it has 3 traditional pedals that only available in the clavinova series and it has arranger keyboard too
WOAHH
Thanks, Jeremy. I always watch videos where the say the best things about the product. This is how every review should look and sound like. Thanks, again!
Glad it was helpful! Music shop videos have to say only the good things if they don't want to anger the brand. 😉
Looks awesome! I just bought a P-125. Didn't know they had finally upgraded the DGX-660. This will be my next keyboard!
Hey… what would you suggest? To get this one or the p125?? Cos i just placed my p125 order. And I am a beginner-intermediate. I don’t know much of arranger functions… but maybe I can learn it? Will be great full for your advice.
Thank you very much, my church just bought new portable grand dgx 670 and I didnt know how to operate but you help me, btw your english speaking is so clear to my asian ears.l, God bless you
They should have called it DGX 700 series. This is such a big revision!
@Osiris Kanji maybe you should learn to edit sound,mine sounds great.
@Osiris Kanji no Idea what your talking about, the dgx-670 sounds more clear and detailed.
Guess it's personal taste, which I respect.
The Piano Room! Love your review, very nicely detailed. Many thanks!
I have the DGX 670 (paid EUR 829 in the Netherlands) 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 SX600 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!
Excellent analysis! 👍🏼
Its good to hear that the speakers are somewhat capable. That was my major worry! I couldn't agree more, I would gladly pay $100-200 more and have all the sounds/styles and amplification of the SX600...
Such an awesome analysis you made a year ago. I’d be interested in your opinion now and I would like to get your reply to some thoughts I have. I’m a big fan of Yamaha! But the biggest concern about the DGX-670 has to do with the key-bed itself. Right now, I’m playing on a P-105 and a Garritan VST. I understand that the DGX-670 uses the same key-bed as the P-125 (which I’m guessing, is the same as my P-105) My keys have become very noisy…. Clacky, would be the way I would describe them (plastic against plastic) and it’s kind of annoying! Though the accompaniment function of the 670 looks fun, I hesitate buying another keyboard with a toy-ish key-bed. (I wonder if Yamaha’s NWX (wooden keys) in their P-515 really are quieter or just a gimmick??) I’m guessing they are quieter. It seems like if the 670 had quieter wooden keys, it would be a grand slam!!
Aside from the that physical question, as neat as the “auto accompany” feature is, as an early intermediate jazz player, do you think it inhibits the player from learning “true solo playing”? Of course, I guess, you have the option to do both but it seems like “cheating.” What is your feeling about that?
How did you connect your speakers
Love the song and you play beautifully 💞😘
Just got one thanks Jeremy for the owner review. Totally agree about the weight - it is heavy but I knew that and it will not be leaving my home. Everything else is just fantastic!
Great choice. Have fun buddy! ❤️
Thank you for talking about the rest not supporting books, as in being not strong enough! That's a feature I just assume all digital pianos have. Now I am definitely going to focus on that in the future. God bless you 🖤
We have an occasional keyboardist at church who alternates between a couple of monster old Yamaha and Korg arranger keyboards. They both have road cases with handles on one end and casters on the other, so they're fairly easy to move around.
Thank you Jeremy! Your reviews are always thorough and tell the whole story. I intend to purchase a new piano soon. I rented a Roland FP10 for a month and am now evaluating a P125 for a month. Both are lovely instruments. However, this review has got me excited about the DGX670. My biggest concern is that the feel/touch might not be piano enough. But it seems that the keyboard has a pretty good feel. The Piano Room feature is a truly excellent feature. The many other features mean I can play both just the piano or have fun creating multi-featured arrangements. Thanks again and God bless!
It's the exact same touch as the P125. Not perfect but certainly better than Roland's actiob5
@@piadas804 Thank You
I concur, of the 5 digital pianos i own, my dgx670 is the closest to my real piano in terms of action feel. The sound is the best of my digital ones as well.
Thank you Jeremy for the indept reviews.
I'm really torn between the DGX670 and the Casio PX-S3100. How much is the DGX better in other regards to sacrifice the Casio's portability ? I'd really appreciate your view on this. I'm a DJ who is going to start learning piano.
I hear you. I was torn between the Casio and the Yamaha p515. I ended up choosing the Casio px-s3000 at the time. Better price, features and portability. Of course the downside is the relatively poor key bed, but playing piano is new for me so it serves well enough.
Could listen to this all day so soft and soothing
I bought mine a year ago....best piano I have owned to date....Love it!!!
Nice. review Jeremy. I have been wondering about this Piano. I was also looking at the P-125 Yamaha. Heard this isn't in the stores till April 2021.
What did you opt for.? I placed my p125 order few days ago. Should I cancel and go for this?.
Your reviews are so helpful to me. Thank you, Jeremy.
I really enjoyed the beautiful song at the beginning. Nice voice and wonderful lyrics. This is a stunning instrument and if I was rolling in the Benjamins, it would definitely be on the wish list. I'm sure it is a bargain for sounds like that. Wow, Yamaha is really raising the bar.
Yamaha can only do this with their cost efficiencies and economy of scale. I doubt anyone else can come close to this for a few years.
Thank you @JeremySee for a such detailed review. My sons surprised me how quickly they learned to play in a few months (thanks to one such well-known "simply" application).
The current keyboard we have is the very, very old Casio CTK-631 :D . I wanted to buy a digital piano with weighted keys as soon as possible, but I wouldn't want to be minimalistic and buy a Yamaha YDP, I would like something more versatile to develop the boys' creativity (sequencer, styles).
I think buying the DGX-670 will be a good choice, don't you think?
My DGX-650 still packs quite a punch. I'm still pretty happy with it 10+ years later. If you find a 650 or 660 on the used market, don't be scared away just because the 670 is better. The 650 and 660 are still great options. I think the built-in speakers are more than fine at home. If you are playing on stage, you should be plugged into an amp or PA system anyway. Does anyone play live gigs using the built-in speakers on their keyboard? If anything, I would have sacrificed speaker quality somewhat if it meant the keyboard weighed less and took up less depth.
I have the LP-7A three-pedal unit, and it's fine, although the new design is a definite improvement, and it means you can use it on a wider variety of stands without it sliding out of place.
Does it do everything I have ever wanted? No. But it does everything I need and then some.
The comment about the weight is true...this is certainly not a gigging keyboard. I wish they had made it lighter and more portable.
If I were in the market now, I might be inclined to buy a CK88 instead.
I do definitely agree about the music stand. I broke my original one and had to buy a replacement, but that has held up fine ever since.
Great review, Jeremy. I just upgraded my PSR 363 to 373, & now after this, I think my trusty DGX 650’s days are numbered 🤣🤣!
The pipes are calling! 😉
Keep your dgx-650 like I do, unless you really want to use a microphone on the piano ;-)
Arrgh! I've pre-ordered this already and now every video I watch is torture! I can't wait!!! :)
Great choice! Have fun.
I was eagerly waiting for your take on the DGX-670 ever since you released the first impression video and as always I must admit it was worth the wait.... For all I can say you really startled me with how you opened thevideo.. really great vocals you have got there Jeremy. Was planning to sell off my Casio PXS-3000 and getting the Yamaha DGX-670 or Roland fp-30x/60x based on how it is priced here in India but your review made it clear that DGX-670 is not something I'm looking for.... Thank you again for you in-depth and detailed reviews that you make... God bless..
Thank you for your kind words.
@@JeremySee your welcome Jeremy 😊
@@anshumanbose7430 why isn’t it the one you are looking for
Excellent review.Thanks Jeremy. I've been happy with my Korg PA900 but need a 'piano'. This thorough review has convinced me to go Yamaha DGX-670.
Today I finally get to try a DGX-670 and P125 in a local store. The P125 has a keyboard that is not as good as the DGX-670, even though they both have GHS (Grand Hammer Standard), and I asked the Guitar sales guy and Piano sales guy at the store, and they both said they feel the DGX-670 is a better keyboard... the Roland RD-88 keyboard feel is even better, but the DGX-670 is close. The CFX sound on the DGX-670 is just beautiful, and no other pianos could match it for the few pianos I tried in the store. The Korg Kronos 2 had really really heavy keys and you kind of have to go through a "click" moment to play a note, so it felt like a heavy mouse click... (it has the same RH3 keybed as the Korg D1), but I suspect that it had a bad keyboard, perhaps abused in the store for a couple of years... but see... P125 is $700 and DGX-670 is $850, but has better sound, better keyboard, so if weight of the piano is not a concern, definitely go with DGX-670. Since I am thinking of getting a keyboard to play VST sounds, so I may still get a Roland FP-30X, FP-10 (same PHA-4 key as RD-88), or Korg D1... but setting up the VST, the computer, hook up to a speaker, is a bit of a trouble
Really God will make a way ur voice is amazing praise God 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I enjoyed your in-depth review & that pad sound at 21:40 is amazing! Some more details regarding the midi sequencer would have been nice though. I was wondering if the song sequencer has a copy & paste function? What about insert effects to each track? Perhaps such functionality is a bit too much to ask for at this price point & the absence of such, would not be a deal-breaker for me....but since I had sold my Korg Krome EX,I would miss the detailed song editing in the DGX.
Glad it was helpful!
If I could get one delivered to Brunei at a reasonable price, I would’ve gotten this already. Instead I got the FP-60X, which is still a great digital piano. But those arranger features looks so much fun
Yup! If you only use it to play piano, the FP-60X has a better key action.
@@JeremySee Thanks
@@JeremySee but the action on this keyboard is pretty good imho.
Thank you for the thorough review. Extremely helpful. Great playing as well!
The best keyboard you can get for that price range, hands down. I own it. Love it!!
Dynamic Arranger feature is great. Harder you push the chord, more the band will accompany you with full harmony accompaniments. Before seen on Roland E-80 workstation.
Indeed!
Jeremy, such fantastic videos. Well done mate, so informative.
Andy
Ahh!! Love your intro
Another wonderful and informative video brother. Iv been waiting for this one. Enjoyed the old hymns to. I think i am going to grab one of these and put a modx7 with it. I think they would complement each other perfectly and fill the gaps in each other. I think this video just sealed the deal for me.
Thanks again Jeremy.
Blessings and best wishes.
Great choice! Do use my links if you do order one. Thank you.
From the moment I saw this at NAMM I was floored. For the price there is nothing even in the realm of features AND sound available on the market.
There's won't be competition for a while.... 😉
Thank you for the review, Jeremy! Could you , please, make another one showing how the piano works on a DAW? does it transfer audio via USB without problems? thanks.
Yes please
Really terrific review, with excellent recommendations. I have to say it's going to be tough for the competition, there is a lot of bang for the buck with this board. I have two questions Jeremy: 1) Do the white keys have any texture? and 2) Does the single pedal feature support 1/2 pedaling? I'm down to the DGX-670 or the Roland FP-60X, just need the opportunity to play both. What I hear & feel will decide at this point. Thanks Jeremy, your reviews are always a tremendous help. Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Casio...are you listening?
No textured like P45. As far as I've tried. No half pedaling unfortunately. 😢
@@JeremySee Thank You!
With separate stereo ouputs and separate inputs for expression/volume and sustain that would be a very attractive item to purchase. But those are major omissions on this model. Deal breaker. Cannot believe it. Also, don't know why all these models can't have the headphones jack on the front. Even my 25 years old PSR 520 has it, why these model don't is beyond me.
I guess they didn't put the headphones jack in front because it also functions as an audio output jack.
I like when you worship with your instrument.. so nice.. Waiting for Roland Ex50 review
This would be a great upgrade of a PSR-EW425 if you want/need 88 weighted keys, albeit, not as good as the newer key action systems you mentioned, though it may not be an issue for players such as myself, but the glaring drawback is the amplified speakers in comparison to those on the PSR-EW425.
The color display, piano room and arranger features on the display is a plus.
Also, when not needed, I like working with good quality microphones with the ¼" jacks. Of course, you could get both ¼" and XLR cables if you want to use the same microphone.
I guess this piano was not designed and intended for gigging and portability.
Again, you always close each video doing well to help viewers to consider all the features, price, playability and other important factors to help them to decide if each keyboard would be a suitable choice to purchase for them.
Thanks for the thorough review. I've been following your videos on the DGX series. I love them!
DGX 670 was really worth the price on pre-sale. It still is a good buy on a promo. As a former arranger player I love to have more arranging options than the usual Digital Pianos. It gives more fun and diverse playing options. The keybeds may not be the best at this price but a good trade-off.
Sadly it was too expensive to pre-buy and import this to Iran. (Because of sanctions!)
But I will keep an eye on this series when I wanted to upgrade! :)
Off topic, but the US should stay out of Iran's business. It's completely unjustified.
@@JoeLinux2000 Thanks for the support.🙏 You tell them. Whatever US politicians do directly and only affect normal Iranian citizens :(
Of all the keyboard reviewers, Jeremy See is the best! I love my DGX-670......one weird behavior, it will not sustain "hold" non-decaying sounds like strings or organ using the pedal. I contacted Yamaha and they said this is intentional to produce a natural decay......other than that. this is a wonderful instrument. Thanks Jeremy! I bought this because of you!! Cheers!
Looks like you are havin' a ball of a time! 😉
Use the middle pedal to hold string or organ tones. The right pedal will sustain but gradually decays like on an acoustic piano. It's a bit late but I hope this tip helps. Happy playing! ✌😊👍🎶🎹🎶
Hey Jeremy, thanks for doing a video on this! I’ve just preordered this piano through your link. I’ve been looking for a digital piano that is right at the middle and I believe this is the one.
Great choice! Thank you.
Bought this just before your review! Glad l bought it. Love the piano!
6:33 The weight makes it closer to be a grand piano
Brother Jeremy, now in 2023, do you know if there is a comparable product out there less heavy? I mean, a more "portable" version or equivalent? Blessings!
Finally you uploaded it! Actually what Yamaha did to this keyboard is great. Super Articulation, CFX Concert Grand Sound which i need, and full 88 keys, and with styles! Like a Clavinova but cheap! It's even better than SX which has horrible piano samples.
Indeed! CFX samples for a few hundred dollars!
And the thousand dollar keyboards SX dosent have it.
I almost got a clarinova, this is on order your review is great
Great video! Most demos gloss over, if not completely skip, the rhythm functions, which are a key feature to me.
Hey, I love your videos being a lifelong guitar player, the keyboard world is new and it’s very helpful to have guys like you catch me up to speed on some of these things, I bought the DGX 660 then the 670,, and I love it my only complaint is the keyboard bedfeels like it’s wearing seems louder physically than it did when it was new, the keys are a little wobbly and they have a clicking sound as you’re playing if your volume is low, you can hear the keys rattling as you’re playing,, very disappointing
I think he likes it!...
nice upgrade on the sounds..and PLENTY of buttons!
if u guys want portability and good for the price, the psr series is for u, dgx is more of a home piano, but still can be portable
Thank you so much for your review, I have to say that bringing such features to this brand indicates that there will be an astonishing new features and specs in the upgrade for the higher end yamaha models.
Can't wait to see what the E473 brings to the table.
Thank you for this video. U helped me make up my mind as to which digital piano to purchase. I just hope I can learn how to use the instrument fast enough to churn out some decent videos soon & go beyond solo piano playing one day. Nice knowing u r a fellow Singaporean too :-)
Have fun! Do let the people at Yamaha Singapore know I helped you in your decision. I had to buy this piano with my own money to make this review because Yamaha just doesn't want to lend me a review unit. 🤔
@@JeremySee Oh I see ... ... I will mention how your video helped me in my decision :-)
Your reviews are always honest and detailed. Love from India.
God will bless you sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻
:D as a new subscriber, I didn't know you sing!!! terrific clip! looking forward to your singing in future!
Thank you for your kind words.
Definitely a good in-depth review but to say the DGX670 is a jack of all trades master of none is preposterous
Great review, thanks! I have been looking forward to this review and can see why you took a few days off to work on this. I'm just getting back into piano and I like that it has so many features. Much better action than I am used to, excellent sounds, color screen, learning functions, smart chord and more. I'm an engineer so I think I will enjoy exploring all the voices, styles and arranger features. Bluetooth, usb, .wav, etc. Good to hear you like the user interface so much. I don't care so much about the weight or lack of dual output jacks, but I think that better speakers for a bit more money would have been worth it. Lots of bang for the buck though. Glad I have one on order now!
Great choice! Have fun.
Thank you for the review. Also like to see comparison with Korg XE20.
A very well thought out and presented review
As a music producer that want to learn to play piano, I think this one will fit my needs. Sounds great!
Are going to do a comparison with the Korg XE20? In your opinion, do you think the 670 is better? There are other functions, but I would like to see a more comprehensive differences, such as voice changes while playing. This was a GREAT review as always.
Would love to see that too. Great review though. Makes me want to buy it right away.
Good review! Very tempting.
I like the 88 key arranger but not the weight. The base / drum arranger function makes it not cheesy and much more useable for playing at convalescent homes and livingroom and small church worship. You made it sound really good.
I'm 64 and having a harder time carrying my Yamaha Tyros5. I have been saving up for a Genos since it is 10 lbs lighter. I think I'll wait for the next version of Genos and hope it's not out of my price range. Thanks for the brake down!
Thanks for sharing.😍
Did you ever get a Genos ? How important are Style Packs for you?
Love your videos, God Bless you! I wanna buy this for my church 😅when you said it's not worth for church and performance has gotten me to think again for the purchase.
