I post a thread earlier time, but forgot to put the keyboard he used. Here is the new thread.
---------------------------------------
I would like to share with members some Chinese music from my teacher--Yu Lee.

Lee is a very talented keyboard player. He began to learn piano from about 6 years old. He is the guy who can play by ear and compose music. Now, without further ado, here are some music pieces from him.

These songs are nice.
But... are they recorded using only DGX-300?

Are these songs recorded on the fly, directly from keyboard to recorder or PC?

If so, its piano voice sounds very nice.

is this piano voice similar to piano voice into PSRs?
Is the key feel not so bad as into PSRs?

Yes, those are directly recorded from keyboard to computer, except for the one song that I donot remember.

Lee is a very talented guy. He is 24 years old and has been performing in various events. He was once invited to compose a theme music for a movie imported from US to China (a cartoon movie).

To my understand, DGX serious is known for its very good piano sound. Other than that, i donot know.

Didn't someone say a ways back that the DGX 300/500 had the piano sample taken from the 9000 Pro? I'm fairly certain someone posted this a while ago.

but this DGX has 8 MB for sounds only...
It is difficult that it has same piano voice as high PSRs (2100, Tyros)

Hi,
lovely . Especially the piano piece. Reinforces something I discovered years back , if you've got real talent, you can make any keyboard sound like a million bucks, it doesn't have to be a top of the line.
Unfortunately that bit of wisdom didn't sink into my own head ( haahaa). You can't replace talent & ability, with technology.

I've actually got a dgx305 ( with xg lite voices ) & a top of the line Yamaha Clavinova ( piano with xg voices). As a rough indicator I could have bought about 5 dgx's for the price of the Clav.

Anyway, the voices are very similar to those in the Clavinova. I've tested it via the clavinova's inbuilt speaker system.
They just don't have the same fullness.
To fit all those sounds in 8mb of memory , I'm guessing that they must use a higher compression rate for the samples.

best wishes
Rikki

I would like to have a PSR but perhaps a DGX is better for me, because I love piano, piano voies, piano keys.
But I don't know what I am missing exactly if I buy a DGX and not a PSR. I think PSR styles can't be played into DGX, and DGX can't modify styles or mute its parts, and DGX hasn't pads but, is it all?

Rikki, I have seen DGX in music stores, and too a Clavinova.
DGX keys seem very different to Clavinova ones (built better, key feel...), and they seemed smaller to me. So, I measured them, and the result was clear: one octave is 1/5 inch less in DGX than Clavinova. So, the lenght of all keys DGX has is more than 1 inch less in DGX.
As a piano player..., is it this difference something important to play? May you play both keyboards you have without problems, or any difficulty to pass from one to other?
