Two weeks ago I purchased my first keyboard Yamaha DGX-660. I did not think before I made this purchase. I usually search for info before I even start looking at one item over the others. This time I did not. Plus! The salesman didn't even discuss different keyboards with me. He should have. I also may have been in a hurry for one. I do like the all-around appearance of the GDX-660. Plastic! Wood would have been too expensive. It would have been nice though. Here is my reason for purchasing this keyboard. I had an abusive wife. I slipped into depression in April 1993. I haven't worked since. I also watch RUclips and enjoy singing along with the videos. A few weeks ago I was suddenly struck with a strong feeling of being lonely. So, I figured I would buy me a keyboard to keep the loneliness away. I went into debt for several hundreds of dollars. So, I am hoping this keyboard will do a good job for me. I hope within a year to be playing it very well. I will try to give updates on my progress. Peace and God bless.
Good luck man! but... the best way to get out of debt? Stop spending, and get a job. Perhaps a job that makes you happy. :) Also if you want to learn piano, the BEST advice I can share with you is, don't learn songs, learn music theory, then you can learn ANY song by yourself using it... and maybe turn that pain into beautiful music, and earn even more money. haha
I really hope you find solace in the sound like I have. I also bought the same keyboard in a rush, but thankfully (by chance) I made a good choice. I wanted to say that learning to play the piano/keyboard has done WONDERS for my emotional health... not sure what exactly it is, but it’s a VERY rewarding instrument. Memorizing emotional sounding songs is very therapeutic for me and is the only thing that truly makes me lose track of time.
First of all BIG THANKS for posting this straight forward honest review! I was wrestling over purchasing either of these DGX660B, Clivanova701, 705, or 709. My biggest concerns with the DGX660B was the plastic look, music rest, lack of PA jacks, small 6" speakers, and headphone jack behind the unit. You hit on them all addressing my many concerns. Thanks!
Yes, especially if you value the arranger function in digital keyboards. Also the direct recording output feature is something I have been wanting for years. I agree that Yamaha has nearly perfected the acoustic sound of orchestral instruments, especially the brass horns, brass reeds and wood reeds with good string sounds and excellent organ sounds.
I've been using the DGX-660 since the very first time it was released. Overall it's a good digital piano for its price and performance. However, in 2019, it may not worth it anymore, being outperformed by the newer arranger-piano models in the same price range. If you're just looking for a decent piano sound and build quality, then the DGX is for you
can you suggest new arrangers better than the 660? I'm actually researching about, which to buy, so it'll be helpful if you include new updated ones TIA 😊
Yes, do share alternate models. Personally I've been debating Casio PX-S3000 or PX-560 (for the knobs and buttons and touch screen). I haven't found much else newer than the DGX that does the same stuff, has speakers, auto-accompanyment, etc.
I still have a DGX-660 and agree with your review (I really love the "Sweet Soprano Sax"). I have since upgraded to a Yamaha P515 which allows me to use a iPad for voice configuration with splits or layers and has a very nice music rest. I have added a small sub-woofer (Kinyo) which makes a big difference. I like the textured keys and action and while it does not have some of the extras of the 660 it is very satisfying to play and feels, looks and sounds more professional. Keep up the good reviews!
I feel that we have reached a point in the evolution of these instruments where splitting hairs over the tonality is nit picking. And with all the variety that is at your finger tips, i can see this instrument satisfying a lot of people for decades.
This seems to be the only 88 key piano with pretty good acoustic bass, trumpet and sax voices, which I need, for anywhere near $800. It will drop in price even more when the new model comes out, at which time I might grab one off of Amazon for $700. I don't know why people try to compare the DGX660 to 61-key full-fledged arranger boards or to straight piano keyboards. If you don't need 88 keys AND all the voices, on a limited budget.....
For the part about "DGX not lasting"... I've had my DGX 640 since 2009, and it's been reliable, played about half an hour to an hour every day or every other day. A great product, unfortunately an old product. Hopefully they return for this brand with a newer sample and keys quality though. Overall, not a mistake to buy back then. Now I suppose there are newer products. Still will always love my old DGX640 :)
I'm waiting for Yamaha DGX-670 which will have build-in audio interface like P-125. This feature allows to play computer sound via good built in speakers. Laptop, piano and nothing more. Wonderful!
I love dgx serias becouse combination of real piano keyboard with a power of styles, accomponiments, voices etc. Becouse of that dgx must not stay behind tech technologies progress, and there was a big leap the last 4 years. Also, there is alot of learning expirience that need to be implamented, for example: the memory size should not be limited and depending on external memory card capacity, the speekers should be much powerfull, the keyboard need improvment etc. I realy hope yamaha will invest and release the next dgx generation shortly.
I still have a DGX 630, and am looking to upgrade to either the P-515 or one of the upcoming CLP Clavinovas (700 series should be released this year), or look for a price reduction on a CLP 685. The main reason is that I want better keys now, but I still need it to be usable as a midi input.
My dgx660 is still going strong at 6 years old, I'm not a pro but it is a great digital piano and still looks and plays like new ❤ fyi I love the weight, the stand and the 3 pedals, makes it more piano and less keyboard but i agree the headphone jack should be at the front
What’s your prediction on when likely Yamaha to release a new DGX ? Should I wait... I just don’t wanna buy this one and then a few months later they come up with a new one
As he previous owner of several Yamaha keyboards and a more recent owner of a dgx660 I would have to say that this review is excellent. It's on point and thorough. I less than 18 months I have already had substantial trouble with my instrument electronics, and I will have to use my extended warranty at the dealer to have it repaired again or to trade it in.
Casio PX360 ? its not a proper arranger keyboard but it comes close, and it has triple sensors, and its very close to the DGX price, unlike the Korg Haivan that costs more that twice the price of the DGX.
awesome video! Advantages: -easy to use -default piano samples -polyphony -lcd screen -styles, voices -microphone input -pedals -tracking -recording Drawbacks - plastic , slippery of the keys, build quality, music rest - hammer action, string resonance - lack of contemporary voices and styles -weight -only 6 watts speakers - lack of modulation wheel - no separate output stereo - lack of rythms and variations for its premium style - you cant configure pedals to change styles - few reg memory slots - it doenst run with batteries - the headphones connect in the back
Nice informative very appreciative. Also it’s about time for Yamaha to make a new dgx keyboard probably the DGX-670 and the Styles should have three intros four mains/fill ins one break and three endings. That will make an incredible keyboard 😎👍 I enjoyed watching 👍
To be honest, Jeremy, I find myself agreeing with a number of things you say, but a lot of the criticisms you make do not (imo) carry any real weight. There are three criticisms you make that I agree with; 1) it doesn't run on batteries, 2) wrong place for the headphone socket, and 3) assigning events to the pedals. The initial pricing for the DGX 660 at $1,299 is not placing the instrument within 'premium' status, where you would expect to pay anything from $3,000 upwards for an instrument. Is the Yamaha DGX-660 still worth buying today? Of course it is. Absolutely! Here in the UK you can buy the instrument for £670, and for an instrument as versatile as the DGX-660, that is a real good price. It has excellent piano sound and other instrument voicing, and to be honest, the proper context for buying this model would be as a home instrument, and not one to take out on gigging, except as a last resort. This is an instrument for learning piano, and learning how to play your favourite pieces, at home. Fifty pounds weight is hefty, but not unmanageable. A lot of engineering has gone into making the instrument above it's initial price range, so compromises had to placed in outer shell materials and construction, but it is more than sturdy enough for home use.
Yamaha markets this as a PORTABLE Grand. I didn't give it that name. And battery operation and weight is essential for something loudly trumpeted as a PORTABLE Grand. And assigning functions to pedals is something even Yamaha's $199 keyboard can do. It isn't just a "premium" function. If you are not an Arranger player, you are unlikely to understand. And to use a DGX to learn mainly piano is a massive waste of it's ability as an arranger piano. There are cheaper and better pianos from Yamaha if one just want to learn piano playing.
Excellent. By far the best review (I've seen) on the internet. Very thoroughly researched and clearly presented, as all your reviews seem to be. This is definitely my top "Go To" place for keyboard reviews. Well done and thanks. Schaun
To me it was almost no choice: to buy Yamaha P-125/DGX-660 from the official dealer and have warranty and service, or to buy any other brand without any warranty and service due to no official dealers in my country. So, I bough it as my very first piano, and I'm happy. The only thing it lacks is no app like Smart Pianist to learn built-in songs from a bigger screen than that of piano itself. But yes, I agree on build quality - it could be better for the price it has.
As a pianist for a living, I have to say that I got the dgx660 in 2017, and nothing has broken. The other thing is that the piano is not a keyboard. So that is why you don’t have a battery backup. Realizing this digital pianos are to beefy to do that. If you want to gig with a portable instrument then you go with a keyboard not a digital piano. Keyboards and pianos are 2 different instruments. For the record, I play many grand pianos at work and I come home where the digital is and I have to say the action is just like that on the grand pianos but I would say on the grands at work the grand’s action is lighter actually. Every key action is different but the Yamaha dgx660 feels like a work horse. It is actually a work horse. The action on this piano is that of a digital piano’s action because the dgx660 is a real digital piano. Like I said. If you want battery backup then get a keyboard and keep the digital piano at home. Many digital piano companies say the pianos are portable but they really are not. A digital piano is suppose to bee beefy and rugged because it is not a keyboard. The graded hammer action is so true as well. As far as the music rest breaking I have never had that happen and I have put little clocks on it and other things as well. The only thing that came off of it was the triple pedal unit which on all pianos someday the piano will give out. I ment to say the pedal will give out. The Damper or Sustain will ware over time because,,,,, you are using that pedal all the time. As far as the piano goes, it is truly in perfect condition like the day I got it and I am on that thing daily hours on end every day before and after work and on my time off. As far as the modulation wheel, well, understanding that all digital pianos don’t have the same things. Some of them come with 1 wheel the bend wheel like the dgx660 and others do seem to have 2 like a synth. As far the build quality,,, it is strong and hefty. Their is nothing weak about this guy for sure!!!! Like I stated it is a beast. I still have my piano with me today and use it daily and it is still working like a complete horse!!
I completely agree. You cant ask the question "is the 660 still relevant" and compare it with those cheap "E-series" and Casio Ctx arrangers. This is a digital piano. Compare it to a digital piano like the P45 or the P125 or even a similar priced Casio digital piano like the privia line, and you'll soon descover how amazing and "relevant" this instrument actually still is. And im speaking in 2023 long after the dgx 670 has been launched. So i do agree with one or two points Jeremy has, but all the other issues was because he compared this digital piano's features with those of arrangers.
I have owned a dgx 660 for a few months now, and I believe this is a reasonably accurate description and review of the instrument. Not all of the voices and rhythms are of acceptable quality... They're not nearly as good as those on the newer Yamaha instruments such as the Clavinovas, was cost a huge amount more than the dgx. It certainly okay as a practice piano, and far less expensive than the replacement for the p255.
Thank you for the evaluation, Jeremy. I think if I can find a steep discount for the DGX-660, I'll think about buying it. But is there an upgrade in November 2022?
i'm looking at a DGX650 vs a p45. any thoughts? the dgx650 is a steal w/ everything for less than $300...very tempted. i'm looking at $600 to get the stand and pedal etc for a p45. thoughts? for a student..
Hi Jeremy. Awesome video. Thank you. I am able to record to USB. Is it possible to upload my piano music online (using my PC) WITHOUT using a DAW and yet retain the original sound quality? I have presonus studio one artist DAW and just difficult to use. Appreciate your suggestions and tips. Thank you
Another good review Jeremy. Like you, I have always had a preference for the Yamaha sounds, but my portable piano is now the Casio Privia PX-S3000 as it seems a better choice at the price than current Yamaha offerings. I chose it over the 1000 (which would have been financially more competitive) as although the arranger features are clumsy to access my principal use is as a piano , and the price difference being so small I got the extras for fun!
So would you recommend a PX-S3000 over the DGX-660 for an intermediate level and user-friendly digital piano? I plan to use it exclusively for home purpose (not gigging), but I'm still afraid of complex nested menus of the PX-S3000 Jeremy See talked about in another review...
I never hear comments about the DGX 620....I teach and its my main piano.....its ageless....the weight action of the board feels much better travels farther like the Italian boards etc.....better than the 660 my students are buying go figure....
Jeremy, when do you expect the dgx 670 to be available for sale? I refuse to buy the 660.. Bec with my luck.. The minute i buy it.. The 670 will arrive.. ! Then i will have regrets..i know that the 670 was shown at the naam fair.. Earlier this year
Hey Jeremy ! Good info . I still have my Yamaha dgx230. This is a 76 key tough keyboard. It's like brand new, haven't used it much since I purchased it in 2012. I jumped brand to Roland since my team and I play mostly eastern music. dgx230 has a great sound engine , producing high quality sounds. It's a pity that Yamaha did not incorporate a usb storage or sd card slot. It does have usb connectivity to PC with only 32 MB storage capacity . The variation is 2 with fill in. Korg pa series has 4 variations and those are entry level keyboards . Yamaha dgx is not an entry level keyboard . It's good if the keyboard is heavy , which means that it has good , tough components built in the sound engine and that's what makes it last longer. The dgx 660 has a poorly built exterior and keys probably due to companies using recycled material , I'm guessing, lol. Overall Yamahas have great sounding styles and voices. Thanks for your presentation . I was not aware that the dgx series series was still in production. 👍👍👍
What is the difference between the Yamaha DGX 650 and 660. And what can you prefer ? I have been playing on a wing-piano with no electronics but now it's very old and doesn't sound great even after checking it. So I used to get a full and realistic sound.
i own dgx 650, its my first piano so I cant compare it to anything. But when I tried a small P-series on music shop... it sounds better to me.. is it just me or P-series has better piano sound? I have same perception with dgx 660, p series is still better piano sound. can anyone confirm this? or im just being subjective?
I was wondering what would be the next step up from the DG at 6:16. I am in the market and would like a really nice piano was thinking about this DGX 660 for a couple weeks now however I think I would like to get the next step up could you please recommend the next step up and llama hotline
I can’t decide whether to buy the ew410 or dgx660 I have the ew 410 rn and it’s good but I keep thinking about the dgx! Does the dgx have sampling, and also layers for recording?
I agree with all except the battery. The rating on the PA is 1.5A. I'm not sure regular D batteries will survive that amperage, but for mobility, you can always get a power bank to power the device.
Hi Jeremy, how do you compare this dgx 660 with mx88 piano in terms of functionality and features? Hope to find out more from mx88 as I own dgx650 at home and I want to upgrade my piano. The mx88 and dgx 660 price is almost the same.
Hi Jeremy, your reviews are very helpful, genuine and complete. I'm undecided I don't know which one to get between the Roland FP30 and this Yamaha DGX 660, any advice? I'd really appreciate 🙏.
Dear Jeremy, I am Auddy from Kolkata India. I want a advice from you which I buy my 2and piano within YAMAHA DGX660 AND P125. I had one Clavinona 440 at my place which I am playing. But want to something for my other flat where I used to stay with my son and Grandson. 660 have a function to arrange something which I require some time for my you tube piano cover also addition voice facility. But weight is 21kg. Now it is found here from shop brand new at the price 600$.with stand. What about P125...? Which you prefer in between two. Please advice ...love & regard . Auddy
Hi Jeremy I was planning to buy the DGX-660 but the plastic quality you mentioned was a deal breaker for me so I really appreciate it. Can you please recommend to me your personal best 1000 dollar keyboard.
I wanted to buy it but still thinking if it's worth buying/ I see it doesn't has the audio over USB feature . that's a pity :( can you record a midi track on it and save to the flash?
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the review. I played the keyboard using the usb stick voice i recorded and it went fine but to my amazement i connected the flash drive the following day the keyboard couldn't load my file from the usb drive i was thinking may be the fIash drive is bad i went to buy new one but the keyboard couldn't load the file . Am just wondering what could have happened every other things look good but i can't play my recorded voice on the flash drive when using the keyboard.I will appreciate your prompt response. Thanks.
Jeremy,thanks so much for another top notch review. Honest,balanced,and thorough. And your post- fast appearance is looking good-looking healthier,leaner,and meaner( in a good way). My upgraded DG660 wish list : CFX sample with strg. resonance; better key action; less weight( under 40 lbs.); portable tri pedal unit; and come in under 1 K. Maybe that's too much to hope for from big Y. But I can dream,can' t I? Peace,brother!
Thanks for the video ... it’s very informative... I would like to ask ... if you can make a video how to make connection with iPad in order to use the garage band or the iGrand piano app...
I still have a DGX-660 for two years now and it still performs really well. It replaced an older DGX-640 which has several malfunctioning keys. IMO I hope the next model gets a touchscreen at least and proper style variation controls. The single button variation and fill-in is just so bad during performance. I also hope they improve the key action. My P125 and Kawai ES110 has better key action. It's not bad but it feels 'lighter'. I agree, they should add more registration memories. Feature wise I don't even use the sequencer and microphone input but the sound and integrated styles sold it for me.
I would like to know if the transmission of midi output is foreseen for the DGX 660, through one of the usb outputs and with a specific adapter, to an external screen for karaoke use. Thanks.
Hey, Jeremy! I've had this piano for about five years now. We use it at our songwriters night once a month, and once a month we need to move it - it's damn heavy! I like most features about it, and I agree, with your pros and cons. However, the two most challenging issues are 1: weight (really not portable); and 2: lack of battery power. I'll most likely keep this piano for a while longer, but I'm thinking about something a bit more portable and with battery options. Any advice or suggestions?
@Lyd Mo What are your needs for a keyboard? Is weighted and touch sensitivity important? Please specify as maybe I can help since I have seen a lot of info on different keyboards
@@certifiedbruhmoment85 Hello. I was watching this video and the commets and happened read yours. As you said you have seen a lot of keyboards maybe you could help me please to decide to buy one. Because I like to play the keyboard by ear but I' m learning piano with a teacher and he insists of me to buy a new one with counterwheighted keys. The one I play now is unsensitive to touch. I'd like one that have this feature but also rhythms , styles and different voices. But I don't konw if it would be better to buy two different ones, on the one hand a cheap digital piano with counterwheighted keys and on the other a better sensitive keyboard than the basic one I have now. Or as I said before one that have all in one. I can't spent a lot of money I'm a beginer amateur player Thanks a lot.
This keyboard is a really good piano. I was very fasinated buy the piano sounds of This keyboard. I do agree that keys can get sticky and wet, because I played this keyboard at the guitar center and the location of this keyboard is not a realy good location as it gets lick when ever it rains. I am planning to buy the dgx660.
You stated in this video at on point, "you need everything you need to know " and sir you seem to be correct. Honestly, Casio and Yamaha engineers need to contact you on design and functionality, or you should really consider making your own line of Jeremyan arranger keyboards because you are very knowledgeable when it comes to design in comparison to so many competitive products out there.
@@JeremySee Don't sell yourself short. "Enthusiasts" such as yourself don't gain the credit deserved because in the world we live in now an impulse buy is always researched a little by using reviews or in-depth youtube videos such as the content you provide.
Nice and honest review. Love Yamaha CFIIIS sound. I would say that some of the voices like the Cool Galaxy and Hyper Tines are from PSR740, about 20 years ago. I believe the next upgrade will hv CFX sound and maybe time for touch screen.
Could you use the headphone jack to plug in an external speaker? And could you just use a splitter to plug in a right and left speaker? I’m technologically challenged so it’d appreciate very much for feedback. Thanks!
You can use a stereo TRRS to separate TRS cable to maintain stereo seperation. But sound quality won't be the best compared to a keyboard with dedicated L/R outputs.
Hi Jeremy love your videos. Could you tell me what you think of the Casio CDP-S350 key action and feel? I'm trying to decide between it and a Roland FP30, because I've heard it has a much better action, but it's so hard to choose
This might be a stupid question?. If I play a keyboard like the dgx660, if I transition to an acoustic grand piano. Will I be able to play like I did on the keyboard on the acoustic with the songs I learned and played.
I have a DGX 505 and got my first acoustic piano since I was 5 or 6 (I didn't play much), but I have been buying Yamaha keyboards since 1980, as a piano replacement and stoped with the 505. I was considering getting the 660 and I'm glad I saw your review because it covered all the issues the concerned me. Would you happen to know how much it is to have a new action put into a piano? I love the tone on my piano, but the action doesn't allow me to play pianissimo. It's a Fisher apartmemt grand (4' 7"). It really needs a new pin block, but I've learned how to keep it pretty much in tune and it sounds a lot better consistently than when my tuner first did it. If I had the whole job done (case, pinblock, restringing, hammers). I could buy a new piano, it still wouldn't have this tone. My tech doesn't really voice, so I haven't explored that option, just thought you might know.
If you can, can you review the Casio WK-245 76-Key. You don't need too, but I'm looking for a keyboard and wanted to know of the Casio WK-245 was good. I found this keyboard on Amazon for $200.
Thank you so much for all the information. I played this piano a few weeks ago and loved the piano sound and the overall feel. But I was boggled as to why it was only $799 brand new. I thought with everything it has to offer, it should cost more. But after listening to your feedback, I now understand why it’s priced the way it is. So, I’m still in the fence about buying it. I’ll be sure to digest everything you mentioned in your video before deciding. Thank you again, Jeremy.
Honestly, the best thing to do as a beginner pianist is to buy some beginner books and teach yourself. As you get more comfortable, you can always find more sheet music online. That's how I taught myself and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I just bought the dgx-660. Love it. Does anyone know how to get the sound of the keyboard AND mic to record directly into iphoneX when I shoot a video? I don't want the external iphone mic I want the soundboard from the piano/mic to go into the iphone. I bought a usb a-b cable and iphone lightning to USB-Camara adapter but I still get the internal iphone mic sound when I hook this up. What can I do to achieve this? Help!!!
Hi, is dgx 660 still worth to buy in august 2020? I wanna buy it but still confused, is there any possibility for the launching of dgx 670? thank you 🤗🤗
Thanks for your reviews. I've owned a DGX660 for 2 years. I agree with pretty much all the positives you mention, but not all of the negatives. You're the first reviewer I've seen that was critical of build quality. Sorry you're students had problems. Maybe I just got lucky as I haven't had any trouble. The MSRP is always higher than actual street price. Guitar Center sold these for 799.00 from the start. They periodically drop them to 699.00 which is what I paid. I do wish Korg would come out with a new Havian model since there only model is around 12 years old and hard to find. Keep up the good work. Peace

Jeremy See, I want to order the YAMAHA DGX 660, How can I buy it for Peru?
Two weeks ago I purchased my first keyboard Yamaha DGX-660. I did not think before I made this purchase. I usually search for info before I even start looking at one item over the others. This time I did not. Plus! The salesman didn't even discuss different keyboards with me. He should have. I also may have been in a hurry for one.
I do like the all-around appearance of the GDX-660. Plastic! Wood would have been too expensive. It would have been nice though.
Here is my reason for purchasing this keyboard. I had an abusive wife. I slipped into depression in April 1993. I haven't worked since. I also watch RUclips and enjoy singing along with the videos. A few weeks ago I was suddenly struck with a strong feeling of being lonely. So, I figured I would buy me a keyboard to keep the loneliness away. I went into debt for several hundreds of dollars. So, I am hoping this keyboard will do a good job for me. I hope within a year to be playing it very well.
I will try to give updates on my progress.
Peace and God bless.
Hang in there, man. And i hope that music will heal you!
Good luck.. Waiting a good news from you
Good luck man! but... the best way to get out of debt? Stop spending, and get a job. Perhaps a job that makes you happy. :) Also if you want to learn piano, the BEST advice I can share with you is, don't learn songs, learn music theory, then you can learn ANY song by yourself using it... and maybe turn that pain into beautiful music, and earn even more money. haha
You have not worked since 1993. Stop clowning. Go back to work!
I really hope you find solace in the sound like I have. I also bought the same keyboard in a rush, but thankfully (by chance) I made a good choice.
I wanted to say that learning to play the piano/keyboard has done WONDERS for my emotional health... not sure what exactly it is, but it’s a VERY rewarding instrument.
Memorizing emotional sounding songs is very therapeutic for me and is the only thing that truly makes me lose track of time.
Yup, DGX 660 is still relevant & fantastic!
Too old and costly too
@@sohail3618 Mx88 is cheaper and a better keyboard IMO, closer to the old motifs or newer montages for less
Yes, i am buying dgx 660 on 15 august 2020
First of all BIG THANKS for posting this straight forward honest review! I was wrestling over purchasing either of these DGX660B, Clivanova701, 705, or 709. My biggest concerns with the DGX660B was the plastic look, music rest, lack of PA jacks, small 6" speakers, and headphone jack behind the unit. You hit on them all addressing my many concerns. Thanks!
Yes, especially if you value the arranger function in digital keyboards. Also the direct recording output feature is something I have been wanting for years. I agree that Yamaha has nearly perfected the acoustic sound of orchestral instruments, especially the brass horns, brass reeds and wood reeds with good string sounds and excellent organ sounds.
I've been using the DGX-660 since the very first time it was released. Overall it's a good digital piano for its price and performance. However, in 2019, it may not worth it anymore, being outperformed by the newer arranger-piano models in the same price range.
If you're just looking for a decent piano sound and build quality, then the DGX is for you
what's a better digital piano than the dgx660 for a beginner? with same build quality and sound
Yeah, I'd like to know what you would suggest as "newer arranger-piano models in the same price range". Thank you !
can you suggest new arrangers better than the 660?
I'm actually researching about, which to buy, so it'll be helpful if you include new updated ones
TIA 😊
Yes, do share alternate models.
Personally I've been debating Casio PX-S3000 or PX-560 (for the knobs and buttons and touch screen).
I haven't found much else newer than the DGX that does the same stuff, has speakers, auto-accompanyment, etc.
Could you pls recommend the latest equivalent of this model with weighted keys and more features
I have a yamaha dgx 660 and it has no problem at all
Bro can u plz recommend for me whether to buy casio PX560 or DGX 660 on priority of very good sound quality? Plz..
I still have a DGX-660 and agree with your review (I really love the "Sweet Soprano Sax"). I have since upgraded to a Yamaha P515 which allows me to use a iPad for voice configuration with splits or layers and has a very nice music rest. I have added a small sub-woofer (Kinyo) which makes a big difference. I like the textured keys and action and while it does not have some of the extras of the 660 it is very satisfying to play and feels, looks and sounds more professional. Keep up the good reviews!
The P515 is a fantastic portable piano.. I love the wood keys! Thanks for sharing, buddy.
I feel that we have reached a point in the evolution of these instruments where splitting hairs over the tonality is nit picking. And with all the variety that is at your finger tips, i can see this instrument satisfying a lot of people for decades.
I learned on an Spinet piano, I am thrilled with my Yamaha DGX-660. I did own an Ensoniq esq-1 so I so have a reference.
Dary Kinnaman I just ordered mine. I’m a huge fan of Yamaha and their commitment to quality sound.
This seems to be the only 88 key piano with pretty good acoustic bass, trumpet and sax voices, which I need, for anywhere near $800. It will drop in price even more when the new model comes out, at which time I might grab one off of Amazon for $700. I don't know why people try to compare the DGX660 to 61-key full-fledged arranger boards or to straight piano keyboards. If you don't need 88 keys AND all the voices, on a limited budget.....
Thanks dude. Looking for a good starter keyboard with good organ tones/functionality and purchased this one. Lifting it was like, "NOT portable!" LOL.
For the part about "DGX not lasting"... I've had my DGX 640 since 2009, and it's been reliable, played about half an hour to an hour every day or every other day. A great product, unfortunately an old product. Hopefully they return for this brand with a newer sample and keys quality though. Overall, not a mistake to buy back then. Now I suppose there are newer products. Still will always love my old DGX640 :)
Do keys of your piano make noise after so many years of playing? I owned used DGX-650 and sold it some time ago because of noisy keys.
I'm waiting for Yamaha DGX-670 which will have build-in audio interface like P-125. This feature allows to play computer sound via good built in speakers. Laptop, piano and nothing more. Wonderful!
I love dgx serias becouse combination of real piano keyboard with a power of styles, accomponiments, voices etc.
Becouse of that dgx must not stay behind tech technologies progress, and there was a big leap the last 4 years.
Also, there is alot of learning expirience that need to be implamented, for example: the memory size should not be limited and depending on external memory card capacity, the speekers should be much powerfull, the keyboard need improvment etc.
I realy hope yamaha will invest and release the next dgx generation shortly.
Pls, can you guide me through how I can layer strings voice with the piano voice? Thank you
Bought mine January 2020. 670 is a decent upgrade which came out in late 2021.
I still have a DGX 630, and am looking to upgrade to either the P-515 or one of the upcoming CLP Clavinovas (700 series should be released this year), or look for a price reduction on a CLP 685. The main reason is that I want better keys now, but I still need it to be usable as a midi input.
By my test the dgx grand piano or live piano sound better then any psr e series or ypt series.
Playing river flow in you melt your heart with dgx 660
My dgx660 is still going strong at 6 years old, I'm not a pro but it is a great digital piano and still looks and plays like new ❤ fyi I love the weight, the stand and the 3 pedals, makes it more piano and less keyboard but i agree the headphone jack should be at the front
My DGX 660 has had no issues for the years I’ve had it. I’m generally happy with it but really wishing it had stereo outs and a mod wheel.
Just bought one in Singapore.Thanks for the review !
Wow, no stereo line outs, with such lousy speakers... Thanks for your nice, but honest review...
What’s your prediction on when likely Yamaha to release a new DGX ? Should I wait... I just don’t wanna buy this one and then a few months later they come up with a new one
I do not have the information as I do not work with Yamaha. With the current global situation, product development and release will slow down.
No stereo 1/4" outputs....but the headphone output is stereo and you can use a stereo to left right mono adapter.
As he previous owner of several Yamaha keyboards and a more recent owner of a dgx660 I would have to say that this review is excellent. It's on point and thorough.
I less than 18 months I have already had substantial trouble with my instrument electronics, and I will have to use my extended warranty at the dealer to have it repaired again or to trade it in.
I like the headphone jack in the back as I don't want to see cords in my view. This way the cord runs underneath where it is out of sight.
What piano would you recommend in 2019, as this one is a bit old now. Any suggestions for a similar piano in the same price + - ?
Casio PX360 ? its not a proper arranger keyboard but it comes close, and it has triple sensors, and its very close to the DGX price, unlike the Korg Haivan that costs more that twice the price of the DGX.
If its not to late wait for the korg xe20 I think it will be the best keyboard for its price period
awesome video!
Advantages:
-easy to use
-default piano samples
-polyphony
-lcd screen
-styles, voices
-microphone input
-pedals
-tracking
-recording
Drawbacks
- plastic , slippery of the keys, build quality, music rest
- hammer action, string resonance
- lack of contemporary voices and styles
-weight
-only 6 watts speakers
- lack of modulation wheel
- no separate output stereo
- lack of rythms and variations for its premium style
- you cant configure pedals to change styles
- few reg memory slots
- it doenst run with batteries
- the headphones connect in the back
Nice informative very appreciative. Also it’s about time for Yamaha to make a new dgx keyboard probably the DGX-670 and the Styles should have three intros four mains/fill ins one break and three endings. That will make an incredible keyboard 😎👍 I enjoyed watching 👍
To be honest, Jeremy, I find myself agreeing with a number of things you say, but a lot of the criticisms you make do not (imo) carry any real weight. There are three criticisms you make that I agree with; 1) it doesn't run on batteries, 2) wrong place for the headphone socket, and 3) assigning events to the pedals. The initial pricing for the DGX 660 at $1,299 is not placing the instrument within 'premium' status, where you would expect to pay anything from $3,000 upwards for an instrument.
Is the Yamaha DGX-660 still worth buying today? Of course it is. Absolutely! Here in the UK you can buy the instrument for £670, and for an instrument as versatile as the DGX-660, that is a real good price. It has excellent piano sound and other instrument voicing, and to be honest, the proper context for buying this model would be as a home instrument, and not one to take out on gigging, except as a last resort. This is an instrument for learning piano, and learning how to play your favourite pieces, at home. Fifty pounds weight is hefty, but not unmanageable. A lot of engineering has gone into making the instrument above it's initial price range, so compromises had to placed in outer shell materials and construction, but it is more than sturdy enough for home use.
Yamaha markets this as a PORTABLE Grand. I didn't give it that name. And battery operation and weight is essential for something loudly trumpeted as a PORTABLE Grand. And assigning functions to pedals is something even Yamaha's $199 keyboard can do. It isn't just a "premium" function. If you are not an Arranger player, you are unlikely to understand. And to use a DGX to learn mainly piano is a massive waste of it's ability as an arranger piano. There are cheaper and better pianos from Yamaha if one just want to learn piano playing.
Excellent. By far the best review (I've seen) on the internet. Very thoroughly researched and clearly presented, as all your reviews seem to be. This is definitely my top "Go To" place for keyboard reviews. Well done and thanks.
Schaun
I appreciate your kind words.
To me it was almost no choice: to buy Yamaha P-125/DGX-660 from the official dealer and have warranty and service, or to buy any other brand without any warranty and service due to no official dealers in my country. So, I bough it as my very first piano, and I'm happy. The only thing it lacks is no app like Smart Pianist to learn built-in songs from a bigger screen than that of piano itself. But yes, I agree on build quality - it could be better for the price it has.
Thanks for sharing!
As a pianist for a living, I have to say that I got the dgx660 in 2017, and nothing has broken. The other thing is that the piano is not a keyboard. So that is why you don’t have a battery backup. Realizing this digital pianos are to beefy to do that. If you want to gig with a portable instrument then you go with a keyboard not a digital piano. Keyboards and pianos are 2 different instruments. For the record, I play many grand pianos at work and I come home where the digital is and I have to say the action is just like that on the grand pianos but I would say on the grands at work the grand’s action is lighter actually. Every key action is different but the Yamaha dgx660 feels like a work horse. It is actually a work horse. The action on this piano is that of a digital piano’s action because the dgx660 is a real digital piano. Like I said. If you want battery backup then get a keyboard and keep the digital piano at home. Many digital piano companies say the pianos are portable but they really are not. A digital piano is suppose to bee beefy and rugged because it is not a keyboard. The graded hammer action is so true as well. As far as the music rest breaking I have never had that happen and I have put little clocks on it and other things as well. The only thing that came off of it was the triple pedal unit which on all pianos someday the piano will give out. I ment to say the pedal will give out. The Damper or Sustain will ware over time because,,,,, you are using that pedal all the time. As far as the piano goes, it is truly in perfect condition like the day I got it and I am on that thing daily hours on end every day before and after work and on my time off. As far as the modulation wheel, well, understanding that all digital pianos don’t have the same things. Some of them come with 1 wheel the bend wheel like the dgx660 and others do seem to have 2 like a synth. As far the build quality,,, it is strong and hefty. Their is nothing weak about this guy for sure!!!! Like I stated it is a beast. I still have my piano with me today and use it daily and it is still working like a complete horse!!
I just bought one a month ago. I’m glad I did!
I completely agree. You cant ask the question "is the 660 still relevant" and compare it with those cheap "E-series" and Casio Ctx arrangers. This is a digital piano. Compare it to a digital piano like the P45 or the P125 or even a similar priced Casio digital piano like the privia line, and you'll soon descover how amazing and "relevant" this instrument actually still is. And im speaking in 2023 long after the dgx 670 has been launched. So i do agree with one or two points Jeremy has, but all the other issues was because he compared this digital piano's features with those of arrangers.
I have owned a dgx 660 for a few months now, and I believe this is a reasonably accurate description and review of the instrument. Not all of the voices and rhythms are of acceptable quality... They're not nearly as good as those on the newer Yamaha instruments such as the Clavinovas, was cost a huge amount more than the dgx. It certainly okay as a practice piano, and far less expensive than the replacement for the p255.
Thanks for sharing buddy.
What’s the best full 88 keys digital piano under 1000$ in your opinion ؟
Thank you for the evaluation, Jeremy. I think if I can find a steep discount for the DGX-660, I'll think about buying it. But is there an upgrade in November 2022?
i'm looking at a DGX650 vs a p45. any thoughts? the dgx650 is a steal w/ everything for less than $300...very tempted. i'm looking at $600 to get the stand and pedal etc for a p45. thoughts? for a student..
Hi Jeremy. Awesome video. Thank you. I am able to record to USB. Is it possible to upload my piano music online (using my PC) WITHOUT using a DAW and yet retain the original sound quality?
I have presonus studio one artist DAW and just difficult to use.
Appreciate your suggestions and tips. Thank you
Felicitari pentru demo . Te rog poți sa îmi spui Yamaha Montage ca ton de pian este mai bun ca modelul Yamaha dgx 660 ?
Thank you for this detailed, helpful review.
Another good review Jeremy. Like you, I have always had a preference for the Yamaha sounds, but my portable piano is now the Casio Privia PX-S3000 as it seems a better choice at the price than current Yamaha offerings. I chose it over the 1000 (which would have been financially more competitive) as although the arranger features are clumsy to access my principal use is as a piano , and the price difference being so small I got the extras for fun!
Thank you for sharing Bryan.
So would you recommend a PX-S3000 over the DGX-660 for an intermediate level and user-friendly digital piano? I plan to use it exclusively for home purpose (not gigging), but I'm still afraid of complex nested menus of the PX-S3000 Jeremy See talked about in another review...
I never hear comments about the DGX 620....I teach and its my main piano.....its ageless....the weight action of the board feels much better travels farther like the Italian boards etc.....better than the 660 my students are buying go figure....
Jeremy, when do you expect the dgx 670 to be available for sale? I refuse to buy the 660.. Bec with my luck.. The minute i buy it.. The 670 will arrive.. ! Then i will have regrets..i know that the 670 was shown at the naam fair.. Earlier this year
Hi jeremy,,do you know or have any info of a release date for a new dgx????? Like a dgx670
*Should I get the new DGX-670, P-515, or Kawai ES-920?*
P-515 and ES-920 are probably better.
Which same level and price keyboard you would recommend ?
Hey Jeremy ! Good info . I still have my Yamaha dgx230. This is a 76 key tough keyboard. It's like brand new, haven't used it much since I purchased it in 2012. I jumped brand to Roland since my team and I play mostly eastern music. dgx230 has a great sound engine , producing high quality sounds. It's a pity that Yamaha did not incorporate a usb storage or sd card slot. It does have usb connectivity to PC with only 32 MB storage capacity . The variation is 2 with fill in. Korg pa series has 4 variations and those are entry level keyboards . Yamaha dgx is not an entry level keyboard . It's good if the keyboard is heavy , which means that it has good , tough components built in the sound engine and that's what makes it last longer. The dgx 660 has a poorly built exterior and keys probably due to companies using recycled material , I'm guessing, lol. Overall Yamahas have great sounding styles and voices. Thanks for your presentation . I was not aware that the dgx series series was still in production. 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing buddy.
What is the difference between the Yamaha DGX 650 and 660. And what can you prefer ? I have been playing on a wing-piano with no electronics but now it's very old and doesn't sound great even after checking it. So I used to get a full and realistic sound.
Hi! Do you still recommend DGX 660 now? I'm buying one tomorrow... Here in Argentina there's no 670 yet? Differences between both?
i own dgx 650, its my first piano so I cant compare it to anything. But when I tried a small P-series on music shop... it sounds better to me.. is it just me or P-series has better piano sound?
I have same perception with dgx 660, p series is still better piano sound. can anyone confirm this? or im just being subjective?
I was wondering what would be the next step up from the DG at 6:16. I am in the market and would like a really nice piano was thinking about this DGX 660 for a couple weeks now however I think I would like to get the next step up could you please recommend the next step up and llama hotline
I can’t decide whether to buy the ew410 or dgx660
I have the ew 410 rn and it’s good but I keep thinking about the dgx!
Does the dgx have sampling, and also layers for recording?
Hello...plz what about p120....i know it's old but whats ur take on it compared to dgx 660 or p125.
Thanks
Hi.can you make a video for yamaha psr 670 how to download styles from yamaha site?
I agree with all except the battery. The rating on the PA is 1.5A. I'm not sure regular D batteries will survive that amperage, but for mobility, you can always get a power bank to power the device.
Hi Jeremy, how do you compare this dgx 660 with mx88 piano in terms of functionality and features? Hope to find out more from mx88 as I own dgx650 at home and I want to upgrade my piano. The mx88 and dgx 660 price is almost the same.
Both are completely different category of instruments. ruclips.net/video/BwJulJvCBRo/видео.html
Hi Jeremy, your reviews are very helpful, genuine and complete. I'm undecided I don't know which one to get between the Roland FP30 and this Yamaha DGX 660, any advice? I'd really appreciate 🙏.
Dear Jeremy, I am Auddy from Kolkata India. I want a advice from you which I buy my 2and piano within YAMAHA DGX660 AND P125. I had one Clavinona 440 at my place which I am playing. But want to something for my other flat where I used to stay with my son and Grandson. 660 have a function to arrange something which I require some time for my you tube piano cover also addition voice facility. But weight is 21kg.
Now it is found here from shop brand new at the price 600$.with stand. What about P125...? Which you prefer in between two. Please advice ...love & regard . Auddy
Hi Jeremy I was planning to buy the DGX-660 but the plastic quality you mentioned was a deal breaker for me so I really appreciate it. Can you please recommend to me your personal best 1000 dollar keyboard.
I wanted to buy it but still thinking if it's worth buying/ I see it doesn't has the audio over USB feature . that's a pity :(
can you record a midi track on it and save to the flash?
Hi Jeremy, thanks for the review. I played the keyboard using the usb stick voice i recorded and it went fine but to my amazement i connected the flash drive the following day the keyboard couldn't load my file from the usb drive i was thinking may be the fIash drive is bad i went to buy new one but the keyboard couldn't load the file . Am just wondering what could have happened every other things look good but i can't play my recorded voice on the flash drive when using the keyboard.I will appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks.
Jeremy,thanks so much for another top notch review. Honest,balanced,and thorough. And your post- fast appearance is looking good-looking healthier,leaner,and meaner( in a good way). My upgraded DG660 wish list : CFX sample with strg. resonance; better key action; less weight( under 40 lbs.); portable tri pedal unit; and come in under 1 K. Maybe that's too much to hope for from big Y. But I can dream,can' t I? Peace,brother!
We can all dream. 😉 I'm still waiting for a close to perfect board. Thanks for stopping by buddy.
Thanks for the video ... it’s very informative... I would like to ask ... if you can make a video how to make connection with iPad in order to use the garage band or the iGrand piano app...
I have heard this piano has been discontinued; do you know anything about what Yamaha might be replacing it with?
I still have a DGX-660 for two years now and it still performs really well. It replaced an older DGX-640 which has several malfunctioning keys.
IMO I hope the next model gets a touchscreen at least and proper style variation controls. The single button variation and fill-in is just so bad during performance.
I also hope they improve the key action. My P125 and Kawai ES110 has better key action. It's not bad but it feels 'lighter'.
I agree, they should add more registration memories.
Feature wise I don't even use the sequencer and microphone input but the sound and integrated styles sold it for me.
Hope the 670 gets the P125 action! Thanks for watching bud.
@@JeremySee Whats the difference between dgx 660 and p125 Key action? Both are GHS
Brother please give the review of yamaha p125..should buy or not? Or any other alternate for that?
ruclips.net/video/nurtlSZLha8/видео.html
I would like to know if the transmission of midi output is foreseen for the DGX 660, through one of the usb outputs and with a specific adapter, to an external screen for karaoke use. Thanks.
Hey, Jeremy! I've had this piano for about five years now. We use it at our songwriters night once a month, and once a month we need to move it - it's damn heavy! I like most features about it, and I agree, with your pros and cons. However, the two most challenging issues are 1: weight (really not portable); and 2: lack of battery power. I'll most likely keep this piano for a while longer, but I'm thinking about something a bit more portable and with battery options. Any advice or suggestions?
@Lyd Mo What are your needs for a keyboard? Is weighted and touch sensitivity important?
Please specify as maybe I can help since I have seen a lot of info on different keyboards
@@certifiedbruhmoment85 Hello. I was watching this video and the commets and happened read yours. As you said you have seen a lot of keyboards maybe you could help me please to decide to buy one. Because I like to play the keyboard by ear but I' m learning piano with a teacher and he insists of me to buy a new one with counterwheighted keys.
The one I play now is unsensitive to touch.
I'd like one that have this feature but also rhythms , styles and different voices. But I don't konw if it would be better to buy two different ones, on the one hand a cheap digital piano with counterwheighted keys and on the other a better sensitive keyboard than the basic one I have now. Or as I said before one that have all in one. I can't spent a lot of money I'm a beginer amateur player
Thanks a lot.
I use a headphone jack with a 1/8 . converter
Is it true that the headphone output sounds small and seems unclear/distorted?
This keyboard is a really good piano. I was very fasinated buy the piano sounds of This keyboard. I do agree that keys can get sticky and wet, because I played this keyboard at the guitar center and the location of this keyboard is not a realy good location as it gets lick when ever it rains. I am planning to buy the dgx660.
Jeremy I am very stress about picking a piano to learn. I am looking at Yamaha DGX-660 & Casio PX-870. Can you please recommend? Thank you 😊🙏😊
The dgx 660 looks easier to use and more options
You stated in this video at on point, "you need everything you need to know " and sir you seem to be correct. Honestly, Casio and Yamaha engineers need to contact you on design and functionality, or you should really consider making your own line of Jeremyan arranger keyboards because you are very knowledgeable when it comes to design in comparison to so many competitive products out there.
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, "enthusiasts" like us form a very small & insignificant % of global sales.
@@JeremySee Don't sell yourself short. "Enthusiasts" such as yourself don't gain the credit deserved because in the world we live in now an impulse buy is always researched a little by using reviews or in-depth youtube videos such as the content you provide.
Nice and honest review. Love Yamaha CFIIIS sound. I would say that some of the voices like the Cool Galaxy and Hyper Tines are from PSR740, about 20 years ago. I believe the next upgrade will hv CFX sound and maybe time for touch screen.
Thanks for sharing!
Could you use the headphone jack to plug in an external speaker? And could you just use a splitter to plug in a right and left speaker? I’m technologically challenged so it’d appreciate very much for feedback. Thanks!
You can use a stereo TRRS to separate TRS cable to maintain stereo seperation. But sound quality won't be the best compared to a keyboard with dedicated L/R outputs.
Hi Jeremy love your videos. Could you tell me what you think of the Casio CDP-S350 key action and feel? I'm trying to decide between it and a Roland FP30, because I've heard it has a much better action, but it's so hard to choose
FP30 action is better
This might be a stupid question?. If I play a keyboard like the dgx660, if I transition to an acoustic grand piano. Will I be able to play like I did on the keyboard on the acoustic with the songs I learned and played.
What do you recommend with this full price range?
Wuality
Very good video, really very enlightening !! Thank you !!
Hey I was wondering how much memory do we get in the DGX650 or 660 and what are the options we have to upgrade the memory
I'm buying a dgx 660 in a few days. Do the keys feel bad? I am a biginner but are they decent or bad when you push them?
More than good enough for beginners.
I have a dgx660 its reallyy good
Which will you recommend : casio px s3000 or yamaha dgx 660??
I have a DGX 505 and got my first acoustic piano since I was 5 or 6 (I didn't play much), but I have been buying Yamaha keyboards since 1980, as a piano replacement and stoped with the 505. I was considering getting the 660 and I'm glad I saw your review because it covered all the issues the concerned me.
Would you happen to know how much it is to have a new action put into a piano? I love the tone on my piano, but the action doesn't allow me to play pianissimo.
It's a Fisher apartmemt grand (4' 7"). It really needs a new pin block, but I've learned how to keep it pretty much in tune and it sounds a lot better consistently than when my tuner first did it. If I had the whole job done (case, pinblock, restringing, hammers). I could buy a new piano, it still wouldn't have this tone.
My tech doesn't really voice, so I haven't explored that option, just thought you might know.
I bought my first dgx in 2003. My dgx200 is now 17 years old. What a good product
If you can, can you review the Casio WK-245 76-Key. You don't need too, but I'm looking for a keyboard and wanted to know of the Casio WK-245 was good. I found this keyboard on Amazon for $200.
P-125 or DGX-660? which do u suggest?
P125 is lighter and portable. It is mainly for piano. Dgx is an arranger. It has many options for voices and musical styles. It is heavy!
If you haven’t bought one yet I recommend the DGX because it’s weighted keys are nicer and it sounds way better
@@sneezymango8183 piano samples are the same on both
Thank you so much for all the information. I played this piano a few weeks ago and loved the piano sound and the overall feel. But I was boggled as to why it was only $799 brand new. I thought with everything it has to offer, it should cost more. But after listening to your feedback, I now understand why it’s priced the way it is. So, I’m still in the fence about buying it. I’ll be sure to digest everything you mentioned in your video before deciding. Thank you again, Jeremy.
Sir Jeremy see can you play the dgx 660 . I wone to hear the piano sound .
Maaan you look like HAN who was in fast and furious
Thats so truee
How much is price as of now
Hm...I wonder when next Gdx arrives. Is there something similar in the same class? (and price of course).
Which keyboards in the Yamaha line do you recommend?
Why doesn't any keyboard company add a led light that lights the music stand ...just weird .
As a beginner would you recommend either musician or simply piano or do you have the ability to teach someone online?
Honestly, the best thing to do as a beginner pianist is to buy some beginner books and teach yourself. As you get more comfortable, you can always find more sheet music online. That's how I taught myself and I enjoyed every minute of it.
As always, great knowledge about product. Thanks!
I just bought the dgx-660. Love it. Does anyone know how to get the sound of the keyboard AND mic to record directly into iphoneX when I shoot a video? I don't want the external iphone mic I want the soundboard from the piano/mic to go into the iphone. I bought a usb a-b cable and iphone lightning to USB-Camara adapter but I still get the internal iphone mic sound when I hook this up. What can I do to achieve this? Help!!!
Could this possibly be an improvement from the Suzuki SS-100? I’ve been thinking of getting this used.
Hi, is dgx 660 still worth to buy in august 2020? I wanna buy it but still confused, is there any possibility for the launching of dgx 670? thank you 🤗🤗
No other model expected for now. I have a video planned comparing all the 88 key arrangers.
@@JeremySee thank you so much 🤩🤩
@@JeremySee finally i buy it, love it 😍 thanks for the review
I just ordered one on Amazon.
Yeah I ordered one from guitar center yesterday
What is a good price for a good used one?
Thanks for your reviews. I've owned a DGX660 for 2 years. I agree with pretty much all the positives you mention, but not all of the negatives. You're the first reviewer I've seen that was critical of build quality. Sorry you're students had problems. Maybe I just got lucky as I haven't had any trouble. The MSRP is always higher than actual street price. Guitar Center sold these for 799.00 from the start. They periodically drop them to 699.00 which is what I paid. I do wish Korg would come out with a new Havian model since there only model is around 12 years old and hard to find. Keep up the good work. Peace
Just realized I was wrong about the age and availability of Havian. Still wish they would release newer model.
Jeremy See, I want to order the YAMAHA DGX 660, How can I buy it for Peru?
