Hi there ! They are no music shops where I live so I can't test this wonderful dgx 670 ! But I still like to buy one. I have just one question. Are the speakers any good ? Do I have to turn the volume knob way open ? Btw I LOVE your channel ! Thx !
Little correction. Yamaha sells a triple pedal unit than they aren't attatched on the wooden stand, and works if you use th X-shaped stand. Plus it's a little bit cheaper. And on the mic settings you can set the volume of the mic and the gain, so you can put it low for better mixing on the recording
Which triple pedal? Yes I know about the volume. DO you have any suggestion as to how to set the volume on the piano? I just experimented with different microphones and some I had to set lower. But I tried to get them as loud as possible in order to get something to work with in Cubase. But who knows what to do.
I like to sing and play piano like Norah Jones, so I can use USB to record my singing and piano playing. It will be fun to pretend I am Norah Jones 😂😂😂😂
Thanks. Isn't the wooden key thing just a stunt? Anyway its the weight at the end plus the length of the piano keys that determine the feel and fastness and how much it resembles a real piano. So I think that wood would not make any difference AT ALL. Just my perspective although I have no evidence whatsoever. HOnestly I think that is quite a stupid argument made by the industry. Well not stupid in the sense of earning more money.
I found a Z-stand to be more stable than an X-stand at about the same price. Also, I was able to modify the 3-pedal unit in about an hour with a drill and a hacksaw so that it rests on the floor. Some cable management for the wires and good to go!
I agree on the X-stand, but I will say that for me it is sometimes a knee knocker. You can also just find a suitable shim for under the pedal unit if you want to avoid modifying it.
A couple of comments: I have a dgx 650, but things don't seem to have changed a lot. The stand is too short for me, I use a 'Z' stand. I hooked up the pedal arrangement to my stand with electrical ties. Those plastic keys are a pain in the ass for a real pianist - fingers slip and don't feel right. It is a great synthesizer, or as a beginner's piano, Only has a single stereo output, so you can't directly record a stereo stream to your PC and listen on a headset at the same time. If you want to take it out to a recording software on your P.S., you also need to have a converter from midi or audio signals to digital.
Really helpful! I was looking at what suitable stand to buy as I am disabled and my leg needs constant elevation and needs to clear the piano underneath. Something perhaps for the manufacturers to consider, not all people are able to put their legs down underneath a piano and need the clearance. Disabled people would also like a nice wooden stand for their piano with the necessary adjustments if possible.
Very detailed review. You answered every question I had before purchasing. I will get just the Keyboard and deal with just that. Thank you for your time.
Your channel is such a gem. I'm currently looking for my first keyboard, and the information from your videos are so helpful. Thx for making those videos.
I have owned a DGX-650 for more than ten years now. It's still going strong. I also own the furniture stand (that came with my 650) and the old, discontinued LP-7A 3-pedal unit that I bought later. I have no intention of trading in my 650 for a newer model, but if I were in the market today for something like this, I would have to lean toward the Roland FP-E50 instead. While the DGX is perfectly adequate for use in the home, it's not ideal for anything else, like gigging. There are no L/R outputs. It's also very heavy, even by the standards of 88-key weighted keyboards. The Roland still has 88 weighted keys, but it's quite a bit more portable and has those L/R outputs. I think the Roland has superior tones as well with their Zen Core sound engine. It's not that the Yamaha's tones are bad, but they are just not as good. With regard to the furniture stand and the 3-pedal unit, I appreciate the stability and appearance of the furniture stand. I don't really need the 3-pedal unit. After all, you can easily compensate for the lack of a soft pedal by simply turning down the volume. I would recommend getting a better single pedal than what comes with this thing. There are definitely more realistic single pedals that cost very little. The furniture stand does have a drawback, and that is the inability to mount a second keyboard or a laptop to it. If you use an X stand (better use a Double-X stand with a keyboard this size) or something else more modular, you can be more versatile. If there's one area where the Yamaha does defeat the Roland, it's the built-in speakers. The Yamaha does sound great on its own, whereas I would recommend plugging the Roland in to external speakers. But those nice speakers on the Yamaha come at a cost of portability for gigging. The Roland still has built-in speakers, but their placement means they will never sound as good. If you want something to use purely at home, the Yamaha is a great choice. But if you ever want to gig, the Roland is a clear winner.
Hi, excellent review, but you have me guessing, because I was about to go for the Yamaha P-525. Could you do a comparison between these two. And something else: the DOUBLE BRACE X-STAND: isn't it a hinder to your knees or is it far enough behind? Looking forward to your response!
Yamaha think they are smart with the pedal unit... an electronic engineer makes it happen with a other lose 3 pedal unit and change or modify the kabel to connect to the Yamaha, you don't need the stander at all... 😂😊 there are music stores with reparation engineers... don't buy at a webshop of course 😊
I had a Yamaha dgx 660 which had a headphone out, but with a possibility via menu to switch to line out. I purchased the dgx 670 which is a terrific keyboard, a complete overhaul of the previous models. My big dissapointment was that the line out possibility of the dgx 660 had dissapeared. Because this keyboard is so good for such a modest price maybe Yamaha wanted to protect their high end models? You can't have it all it seems...
For someone who doesn't know much about keyboards/pianos, wants versatility, and isn't going to look at many details, this is ideal, especially considering the price.
Hi Chris: I recently purchased an SX900 and am slowly learning the many features. One of the reasons I chose this model was the mic and guitar inputs and harmonizing features. I have been using a Yamaha PSR E433 for years and recording into a Zoom 24, but want to take advantage of the onboard recording in the SX900. All the tutorials I have seen to date show how to record to the SX900 but not how to recall a previously recorded song and then add vocals or guitar to it. Could you demonstrate how this is done? Thank you. Donald G.
Hi, Don. I covered this in yesterday's livestream on SX700 (works same way on sx900). Sorry, I don't have a timestamp, but it's somewhere in the middle of the video here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv/casual-thursday-live-1-yamaha-psr-sx-700-900-tips-and-tricks-with-chrisonpiano/ - Take care - Chris
Hi Chris, Please let me know how can I connect a sound woofer speaker, more powerful speakers and mixers to a Yamaha DGX 670, but without losing good sound quality. Thanks. Cheers
Two questions: a) Is it possible to connect DGX-670 to a sound mixer (console)? How easy this is? b) Is it possible to download midi files from a computer to DGX-670?
Thank you for clarifying this all, it was a great help! And I was wondering, does it come with all the 3 pedals or should I buy it from somewhere else, if I have to buy it somewhere else, can you please put the link in the replies? And where can we buy the wooden stand? Thanks!
Thanks, CanisterBanana. The Yamaha DGX670 doesn't come with the wooden stand or the 3 pedal unit in the box, they are both additional items. You can add them both (and see the cost) on our website by clicking here: www.epianos.co.uk/yamaha-dgx670/
Hi there and thanks! Two(2) separate questions. (1) I'm aware it has the ability to play back recordings with sheet type music in the tiny viewer. Is it possible to plug in somewhere to enlarge the continuous stream of the sheet music to let say, an I-pad, or viewing screen? (2) I understand that a given recording is preserved on a flash drive. Are these files saved on the flash drive able to reproduce given recordings on a pdf file, therefore reproducing say a format printable to copy paper 8.5×11 inch hard copies of score sheet music? Thanks for your research.
Great video!!This new DGX appears to have the same operating system as the PSR SX600. Do the additional style and voice pacs from Yamaha for the SX600 work on the DGX? I’m specifically interested in the excellent Church Organ expansion. Thanks!!
Hi! Great question, unfortunately, the answer is no to our knowledge. But what you can do is check out Yamaha's website here - shop.usa.yamaha.com/downloadables - and it will tell you what packs are available with what keyboards, but after having a brief look myself, I don't believe this will be possible, very sorry about that! - Max, ePianos.
I only ever played on a CAsio CDP S100, I tried this today, Only being able to compare it to the Casio, I instantly disliked it. I hope it starts to feel better to me. The keys seem spongey and almsot smaller somehow. seems like they have less travel downwards and it sort of sponges it to a stop. I have no idea of any of these things are good as I have no idea what I am talking about and have not even tried playing naything with sound. The key surfaces are also soemthing I liked way baetter on the lowe model Casio. I wanted something better as a sort of upgrade and I hope I made the right purchases here. The things I dont like may be positives in the long run or to somebody else here doing research.
I realize after I bought the keyboard that it might be difficult to use an external amplifier. Is there any way around this? The speakers are good on the keyboard, but I don’t know if they’ll be loud enough for a gig.
Very well informative your video with extremely clear information. Just a quick question: can this Yamaha DGX670 be connected with a pc and use VST sound libraries such as Keyscape by Spectrasonics or Solo by Audio Imperia or the sound sample libraries from Komplete Kontrol? Appreciated your feedback.
@@ePianoscouk Many thanks for your quick encouraging feedback. To better understand, if I connect the Yamaha keyboard to the pc or better to an external audio board, should I be able to play the VST library on the pc through the Yamaha keyboard? Could I navigate, manage the VST sounds through the keyboard menus and cursors? Or any VST sounds could be selected and adjusted only through the pc VST software?
There is a deal breaker in two places. 1. No midi input so you cannot use DGX-670 as multi timbral sound source with your PC recording software. That is very pity because the tone of the machine is super pleasant. 2. No real recording or mixing possibility of voice because the level cannot be matched to backing orchestra.
Is it possible to play this piano with wav file backing tracks (on a USB stick) and if so, can other instruments be played with them as well....example: solo sax, flute, etc?
Very useful video. Regarding transferring a recording from the piano to a usb: I''m having serious difficulty figuring out how to do this. If I first record me playing on the DGX and save the recording to the DGX, how exactly do I (say a day later) transfer that recording to USB? Just can't figure out which buttons to push to make this happen. Would appreciate your help.
The DGX has internal memory. You can record your playing and save it to the piano. The difficulty is how to get what you saved onto the piano over to usb. @@Kasiemobi_udemadu
Hello, Great video as always! Im very interested in this piano, mostly for its all in one capabilities. Im wondering how do you connect it to external speakers. Does the headphone output works well as a line out? Im thinking of using it with headphones and external speakers. What is your recommendation for this? Best!
Hi Carlos, im also wanting to know answer to your question if one can use perhaps a splitter plug at the back of the keyboard to plug in as line outs to external PA speakers, did you try that yet, if so, did it work well?
@@crcc23 No worries Carlos, appreciate u came back to me. Hope you come right. Im seriously thinking of getting the white DGX670 & if i get it figured out I'll let you know if external PA Speakers can be connected.
HI thanks for the video. i am a beginner, I purchased this last month, do you know if there Is a way to change the Metronome voice? I see different voices for the Direct Access Tempo/Tap menu, can the metronome use these voices or sounds? thanks
You installed the wooden cross brace on the Yamaha stand incorrectly. The unfinished top edge is showing in your video. It should be flipped around so the black finished edge is on top…. For esthetics.
I turned on my DGX650 and the screen didn't come on so it was readable. I found on the internet there is a contrast control on the back of the 650. So if anyones screen isn't readable, try adjusting the contrast on the back.
Mi scusi se posso avendo già una clavinova cvp 701 comprare una dgx 670 significherebbe avere due strumenti uguali parlo come moduli sonoro no come struttura fisica naturalmente il cvp 701 ha un mobile applicazione più potente ecc. Però uscito in commercio nel 2015 mentre il dgx 670 nel 2021 gradirei un suo parere grazie mille
Hello. Can you do the same video for P-S500, please? Cause that model for it's price is not that abvious choice as DGX, but still very interestiong one.
A double brace X stand? Oh, yuck. Those always hit my knees!!! I'm visiting India right now, and it is far easier to buy gold here as compared to the DGX670 which is very hard to find. Waiting time is weeks, maybe months. Anyhow, a couple of important points: 1. The Aux (and microphone) input volume can be adjusted. What's the big deal, you ask? While using a piano learning app like Piano Marvel, which connects by USB to a laptop, you can connect audio from the laptop into the DGX670, while turning the onboard speakers down to zero. 2. As to the background rhythms, called Styles by Yamaha, are so easy to locate. In contrast, on the Kawai ES920, you have to scroll through 100 of them to find what you want. Sheesh. Wake up, Kawai! I'm visiting India for a few weeks and was very lucky indeed to find one of these after waiting 3 weeks. It is just amazing. I'd choose this any day over the Kawai ES920 which I bought in the USA last year. But mind you, the ES920 has wonderful sound, superb keyboard action. I have no regrets buying that. Does the ES920 have wooden keys? I'll tell you! I don't know! It has a superb Onkyo The website just says ivory touch surface, whatever that means! designed sound system, 40 Watt output. But the DGX670 has more than adequate sound volume for a big room even. www.kawai-global.com/product/es920/
I've just started to use a mic with the dgx 670 , when listening with headphones I noticed I only hear chorus affect on vocals in one ear is there a setting to hear in both ears Thanks great informational video's
Grazie per queste ulteriori info. Le mie domande sono queste: il pianoforte possiede il key off sample e la risonanza delle corde? La dinamica è simile a quella del p125? Il Bluetooth permette solo di trasferire la musica dal dispositivo alle casse del pianoforte o si possono utilizzare anche altre app di brand diversi quali Kawai, Roland, Casio? Grazie mille e un saluto dall'Italia.
Do they have accessibility features for blind users Can I use any third-party applications on the iPhone using VoiceOver accessibility to use and connect this keyboard Could you please check and recommend us the same
Hi, this digital piano has microphone input for singing and hearing vocals from the built-in speakers. Does the microphone signal have effects such as echo, delay, chorus?
Can I substitute the 3 pedal unit with other oem 3pedal units? I sometimes have to pack my keyboard up and does it affect the usage if I use an oem 3 pedal unit?
Keyboard player here. I don't know much about this specific instrument but I've thought about 3 things. 1) The sustain pedal that comes with the instrument is useless. Throw it out and get a real after-market sustain pedal that has a rubber heel support that will prevent the pedal from sliding away from you as you press down on it (which is exactly what will happen with the included pedal). The heel support is a piece of rubber that swings out like a pocket knife and you rest your heel on it to keep the pedal from moving around under your foot. As a side note, most people aren't going to need all 3 pedals so the Yamaha piano 3-pedal attachment will probably be a waste of money. Just buy a single sustain pedal and you'll be fine. 2) The presenter is correct about the stand. An X-style stand is a good choice. A better choice I think (my personal favorite) is a Z-style stand. I prefer a Z-style over the X-style because all of the space at your feet is completely clear, as opposed to the X-style frame where the crossbars are very close to your shins. But still, either one is better than the cheap, flimsy pressboard stand that Yamaha sells. 3) You'll need to choose a seat. There are folding padded bench-style seats made specifically for keyboard players. I do have one but I don't use it very much. I personally use a folding 3-legged seat called a drummer's throne. But just pick something that's comfortable for you.
I have a DGX-660 and am thinking of upgrading to the 670. The 660 allows only 5 user audio recordings at a time to be held on the piano. Are there more on the 670?
What headphones would you recommend for the Yamaha DGX-670? I realize the headphone sound quality is very subjective but, I'd like an airy open style so I don't feel cut off from the outside world while playing. Any suggestions?
How do I connect the Yamaha DGX-670 to an external amp and speakers? Can you recommend an amp and speakers?. Maybe 25-50W so my neighbors can enjoy my playing ;-)
Just a shot in the dark. My best guess is to plug from headphone jack directly to mixer, preamp, or main amplifier. Make sure mixer or amp settings are at zero low level, so you don't risk blowing out soeakers?
There's no difference at all. Some stores simply put the 'B' on the end to signify that it's in the black finish instead of the white. With the white finish, you may see DGX670WH. I hope that helps!
Me too. Pound for pound, it's the best value-for-money piano that Yamaha make in my opinion. It's long been a fan of the DGX range. I wrote a blog about how my DGX kept me in a creative mindset here: www.epianos.co.uk/songwriting-machine-how-the-yamaha-dgx-kept-me-writing-songs/ - Chris
I have to say, I believe this demonstration overstates the portability of this instrument. I moved it to my daughter’s house by myself once, and I will not try it again any time soon.
On reflection, I think you're probably right, Robert. At 6:02, I say it's very easy to move for one person without the legs attached. It's certainly not impossible for one person to carry, however, as you say, it's not something you'll want to do very often. Two people will find it much easier to carry. That being said, let's remember - it's undoubtedly easier than moving a traditional piano!
Always wondered - why ARE the DGX series so crazy heavy? The speakers aren't all that big, the keybed is the same as the P-125, but it weighs twice as much
They have a large particle board inside the case. If you turn it over and took off the back, you would see how large and thick it is. I have a 650 and was surprised at the weight.
Hi Pkproductionsaz. You can't loop on the Yamaha DGX-670, but you can do it on the Yamaha PSR-SX900 keyboard. I made a video demonstrating it here: ruclips.net/video/0t3KMEIndBY/видео.html - Good luck - Chris
Hi Aklilu. You can play .wav and MIDI files from a USB stick on the Yamaha DGX-670. You can also connect a smart device via BluteTooth and play directly through the onboard speakers. Hope that helps.
The absence of a touch screen is great IMHO. If that is broken you cannot control the device at all. Very good informative video. Thanks.
It wouldn't hurt to have both options.

The key surfaces are also soemthing I liked way baetter on the lowe model Casio. I wanted something better as a sort of upgrade and I hope I made the right purchases here. The things I dont like may be positives in the long run or to somebody else here doing research.
I realize after I bought the keyboard that it might be difficult to use an external amplifier. Is there any way around this? The speakers are good on the keyboard, but I don’t know if they’ll be loud enough for a gig.
Great information. Thanks from Tennessee
Thanks for the review. I have a question. Can I split the 88 on dgx670 in dual mode (teacher-student) to have same middle C on each part?
Nope, look at the Roland FP-30X. It has that feature, and it is fun to play. I like my Yamaha too, it just doesn't have teacher mode.
I'm a little surprised the top edge of the horizontal support on the stand isn't finished and is instead exposed chipboard. This cheapens the look.
Probably upside down
The lack of L/R line outputs is a real deal breaker for me.
Me too man and it's a shame cause I really wanted this badboy. What do you recommend at similar price range?
Simple: buy a cable y p10 stereo 👍🏽😉
@@billsmith9249 I bought it and I love the digital piano.. lots of amazing features. with Decaud Piano sound very realistic.
Very well informative your video with extremely clear information. Just a quick question: can this Yamaha DGX670 be connected with a pc and use VST sound libraries such as Keyscape by Spectrasonics or Solo by Audio Imperia or the sound sample libraries from Komplete Kontrol? Appreciated your feedback.
Thanks, Carlo. Yes. You can connect it via the USB TO HOST socket on the back of the DGX-670.
@@ePianoscouk Many thanks for your quick encouraging feedback. To better understand, if I connect the Yamaha keyboard to the pc or better to an external audio board, should I be able to play the VST library on the pc through the Yamaha keyboard? Could I navigate, manage the VST sounds through the keyboard menus and cursors? Or any VST sounds could be selected and adjusted only through the pc VST software?
How do you connect it to an amplifier?
@gerardperlas7226 9:04 1/4 inch output connected to 1/4 inch input on amp.
There is a deal breaker in two places. 1. No midi input so you cannot use DGX-670 as multi timbral sound source with your PC recording software. That is very pity because the tone of the machine is super pleasant. 2. No real recording or mixing possibility of voice because the level cannot be matched to backing orchestra.
Thanks for the information I am getting this piano
You're welcome, TheManofgod57.
Is it possible to play this piano with wav file backing tracks (on a USB stick) and if so, can other instruments be played with them as well....example: solo sax, flute, etc?
I subscribed but how do I sign up for the newsletters and tutorials?

Very useful video. Regarding transferring a recording from the piano to a usb: I''m having serious difficulty figuring out how to do this. If I first record me playing on the DGX and save the recording to the DGX, how exactly do I (say a day later) transfer that recording to USB? Just can't figure out which buttons to push to make this happen. Would appreciate your help.
You can only record direct to USB not to the keyboard
The DGX has internal memory. You can record your playing and save it to the piano. The difficulty is how to get what you saved onto the piano over to usb. @@Kasiemobi_udemadu
Hello,
Great video as always! Im very interested in this piano, mostly for its all in one capabilities. Im wondering how do you connect it to external speakers. Does the headphone output works well as a line out? Im thinking of using it with headphones and external speakers. What is your recommendation for this?
Best!
Hi Carlos, im also wanting to know answer to your question if one can use perhaps a splitter plug at the back of the keyboard to plug in as line outs to external PA speakers, did you try that yet, if so, did it work well?
@@emilybacon11 I haven't test that yet. I never bought the piano. I will start searching for pianos again soon.
@@crcc23 No worries Carlos, appreciate u came back to me. Hope you come right. Im seriously thinking of getting the white DGX670 & if i get it figured out I'll let you know if external PA Speakers can be connected.
HI thanks for the video. i am a beginner, I purchased this last month, do you know if there Is a way to change the Metronome voice? I see different voices for the Direct Access Tempo/Tap menu, can the metronome use these voices or sounds? thanks
You installed the wooden cross brace on the Yamaha stand incorrectly. The unfinished top edge is showing in your video. It should be flipped around so the black finished edge is on top…. For esthetics.
I turned on my DGX650 and the screen didn't come on so it was readable. I found on the internet there is a contrast control on the back of the 650. So if anyones screen isn't readable, try adjusting the contrast on the back.
Mi scusi se posso avendo già una clavinova cvp 701 comprare una dgx 670 significherebbe avere due strumenti uguali parlo come moduli sonoro no come struttura fisica naturalmente il cvp 701 ha un mobile applicazione più potente ecc. Però uscito in commercio nel 2015 mentre il dgx 670 nel 2021 gradirei un suo parere grazie mille
Hello. Can you do the same video for P-S500, please? Cause that model for it's price is not that abvious choice as DGX, but still very interestiong one.
A double brace X stand? Oh, yuck. Those always hit my knees!!! I'm visiting India right now, and it is far easier to buy gold here as compared to the DGX670 which is very hard to find. Waiting time is weeks, maybe months. Anyhow, a couple of important points:
1. The Aux (and microphone) input volume can be adjusted. What's the big deal, you ask? While using a piano learning app like Piano Marvel, which connects by USB to a laptop, you can connect audio from the laptop into the DGX670, while turning the onboard speakers down to zero.
2. As to the background rhythms, called Styles by Yamaha, are so easy to locate. In contrast, on the Kawai ES920, you have to scroll through 100 of them to find what you want. Sheesh. Wake up, Kawai!
I'm visiting India for a few weeks and was very lucky indeed to find one of these after waiting 3 weeks. It is just amazing. I'd choose this any day over the Kawai ES920 which I bought in the USA last year. But mind you, the ES920 has wonderful sound, superb keyboard action. I have no regrets buying that. Does the ES920 have wooden keys? I'll tell you! I don't know! It has a superb Onkyo The website just says ivory touch surface, whatever that means! designed sound system, 40 Watt output. But the DGX670 has more than adequate sound volume for a big room even.

Can you import sounds into the DGX via midi or USB? You might want to take advantage of sound libraries out there.......
I am a current owner of DGX 650....wanting to purchase DGX 670....Will the 650 stand work on the 670??
I've just started to use a mic with the dgx 670 , when listening with headphones I noticed I only hear chorus affect on vocals in one ear is there a setting to hear in both ears
Thanks great informational video's
Thank you, very informational video. I live in the States, otherwise would look up your shop to purchase!
Along with showing negative side, plz tell us the alternative piano at the same price....
Grazie per queste ulteriori info. Le mie domande sono queste: il pianoforte possiede il key off sample e la risonanza delle corde? La dinamica è simile a quella del p125? Il Bluetooth permette solo di trasferire la musica dal dispositivo alle casse del pianoforte o si possono utilizzare anche altre app di brand diversi quali Kawai, Roland, Casio? Grazie mille e un saluto dall'Italia.
Bluetooth is always laggy with music , but using a radio signal such as VHF works well. As you have stated, direct connection is always best.
Do they have accessibility features for blind users
Can I use any third-party applications on the iPhone using VoiceOver accessibility to use and connect this keyboard
Could you please check and recommend us the same
Hi, this digital piano has microphone input for singing and hearing vocals from the built-in speakers.
Does the microphone signal have effects such as echo, delay, chorus?
Do you know how to fix the screen if you cracked it because I might of done it and I can’t find a videos to help me fix it
Can I substitute the 3 pedal unit with other oem 3pedal units? I sometimes have to pack my keyboard up and does it affect the usage if I use an oem 3 pedal unit?
can you send score to usb to print out sheet music dgx 670
Keyboard player here. I don't know much about this specific instrument but I've thought about 3 things. 1) The sustain pedal that comes with the instrument is useless. Throw it out and get a real after-market sustain pedal that has a rubber heel support that will prevent the pedal from sliding away from you as you press down on it (which is exactly what will happen with the included pedal). The heel support is a piece of rubber that swings out like a pocket knife and you rest your heel on it to keep the pedal from moving around under your foot. As a side note, most people aren't going to need all 3 pedals so the Yamaha piano 3-pedal attachment will probably be a waste of money. Just buy a single sustain pedal and you'll be fine. 2) The presenter is correct about the stand. An X-style stand is a good choice. A better choice I think (my personal favorite) is a Z-style stand. I prefer a Z-style over the X-style because all of the space at your feet is completely clear, as opposed to the X-style frame where the crossbars are very close to your shins. But still, either one is better than the cheap, flimsy pressboard stand that Yamaha sells. 3) You'll need to choose a seat. There are folding padded bench-style seats made specifically for keyboard players. I do have one but I don't use it very much. I personally use a folding 3-legged seat called a drummer's throne. But just pick something that's comfortable for you.
Do you know how I could add external stereo speakers to the dgx670? It only has one headphone output.
the upgraded pedal is the one i got...and it has a polarity switch
I have a DGX-660 and am thinking of upgrading to the 670. The 660 allows only 5 user audio recordings at a time to be held on the piano. Are there more on the 670?
Will this dgx keyboard work as a controller for a Yamaha psr x900?
How far can I go in a DAW like cubase 12? wills n won'ts?
Awesome! Thanks, Chris for reviewing the new Yamaha DGX 670
Glad you liked it, Fotokazi. We'll be featuring the DGX-670 on one of our livestreams next week. Join in and say hi. - Chris
@@ePianoscouk Sweet!! Thanks Chris.
Can you please tell where to find the trolley case to transport this keyboard for gigging
very professional and very helpful for me, thank you forthis video
Excellent presentation. How would you compare the black key matte finish to the ivory key feel . . . And your preference
Hi can it be carried for small gatherings n connected to an external amplifier
What headphones would you recommend for the Yamaha DGX-670? I realize the headphone sound quality is very subjective but, I'd like an airy open style so I don't feel cut off from the outside world while playing. Any suggestions?
Why would you talk about a touch screen on DGX🤣🤣
What kind of Headphones you recommend?
How do I connect the Yamaha DGX-670 to an external amp and speakers? Can you recommend an amp and speakers?. Maybe 25-50W so my neighbors can enjoy my playing ;-)
Just a shot in the dark. My best guess is to plug from headphone jack directly to mixer, preamp, or main amplifier. Make sure mixer or amp settings are at zero low level, so you don't risk blowing out soeakers?
Nice demo super , Sir can we inject other type of any 3 set pedal pedals in dgx 670
Hi there, just a quick question, what is the difference between the DGX670 & the DGX670B ?
Thanks.
There's no difference at all. Some stores simply put the 'B' on the end to signify that it's in the black finish instead of the white. With the white finish, you may see DGX670WH. I hope that helps!
Can this be used as a controller for Yamaha per sx900?
Does it have the standard Midi in and out on the back ?
I love this instrument despite the few shortcomings
Me too. Pound for pound, it's the best value-for-money piano that Yamaha make in my opinion. It's long been a fan of the DGX range. I wrote a blog about how my DGX kept me in a creative mindset here: www.epianos.co.uk/songwriting-machine-how-the-yamaha-dgx-kept-me-writing-songs/ - Chris
the middle piece of the wooden stand, should be install upside down, so the exposed wood wouldn't show
Was about to say the same 🤣 Duuude, why you beat me to it?
Yeah seems they installed it backwards here
I have to say, I believe this demonstration overstates the portability of this instrument. I moved it to my daughter’s house by myself once, and I will not try it again any time soon.
On reflection, I think you're probably right, Robert. At 6:02, I say it's very easy to move for one person without the legs attached. It's certainly not impossible for one person to carry, however, as you say, it's not something you'll want to do very often. Two people will find it much easier to carry. That being said, let's remember - it's undoubtedly easier than moving a traditional piano!
can the recordings on the flash drive be mixed on the pc in a program like Audacity?
Yes, but you'd have to export each track individually to the PC via MIDI, .wav, or DI first.
Always wondered - why ARE the DGX series so crazy heavy? The speakers aren't all that big, the keybed is the same as the P-125, but it weighs twice as much
They have a large particle board inside the case. If you turn it over and took off the back, you would see how large and thick it is. I have a 650 and was surprised at the weight.
how to connect to external twin speakers ?
Great information. Thank you.
Can you record like 4 bars and loop it??? Then layer new. Notes on top of that????
Hi Pkproductionsaz. You can't loop on the Yamaha DGX-670, but you can do it on the Yamaha PSR-SX900 keyboard. I made a video demonstrating it here: ruclips.net/video/0t3KMEIndBY/видео.html - Good luck - Chris
No perceptible delay, to be a bit of a stickler about it.
How to show what I'm playing?
I have a DGX 660 purchased for 2019 Christmas. Would buying a DGX 670 be a worthwhile upgrade?
Where do you plug the mic in?
Can I play beats from USB and what format of files are supported?
Hi Aklilu. You can play .wav and MIDI files from a USB stick on the Yamaha DGX-670. You can also connect a smart device via BluteTooth and play directly through the onboard speakers. Hope that helps.
I can't decide between the DGX670 or the P-515
If you're more on playing (classical overall), the 515. If you're more on arrangement, the DGX. IMHO. Keep in mind the price is not the same.
Good job
Excellent! Thank you.
