DGX Owners Review 2022.
I'm just into the 4th week after my purchase of the DGX670.
I'm basically an arranger player but the DGX being initially piano based gives me the opportunity to learn piano when the need takes me.
This is the first weighted key-bed I have owned and after the first few weeks I'm very much liking it . The weighted keys do feel and respond like a piano to play,
The Voicing are all of a very high quality standard providing a good selection and includes the excellent Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano.
There are a wide range of styles Pop/Evergreen. Pop/Rock. Ballads. Dance/R&B.
Country/Blues. Jazz/Standards. Entertainment. Latin/World. Pianist. Other Yamaha styles can be loaded and played from USB,
Overall appearance is very attractive and the Piano is heavy so not really portable.
There is an optional dedicated stand which I preferred not to purchase.

Three very good playing options which are new to DGX (Not On Other Arrangers)
1. Playing In UNISON or ADDING ACCENT To Style Playback.
2. ADAPTIVE Automatically Shifting The Style Variation, Dependent on you playing pressure.
3. SIMPLE Button. A quick way to just have Bass & Drums...All other style parts are muted.

It's not all good news because the editing menu is a complete departure from the Yamaha norm and I do wonder what substance R&D were on when they designed the OS Menu. Every small adjustment one feels needed, you have to go through a number of button pushes in the Menu. Adjustments to styles have to be resaved in Registrations.
There are thankfully no limit to the number of Registration Banks one can save on USB.
I understand being a piano and the R&D wanting a clean appearance they have limited the number of button options.

Prices at present January 2022 are £799 which dare I suggest Yamaha have underpriced this DGX670 so it offers very good value.


Finally anyone wanting a Piano with Arrangement backing styles facilities I would suggest you consider the DGX670.
