The DGX 630 has the GHS action...there is an 88 graded non-weighted action in the DGX 530, and 76 graded non-weighted in the DGX 230.

The weighted GHS is used in some CLP Clavinova, and also some of the CVP...it's pretty darn good, and very reliable and quiet.

The latest action is GH3 which has three sensors as opposed to two, which gives an incredibly wicked repetition rate, although the GHS is perfectly fine for my style of play.

So is the arranger in these excellent action arrangers not sufficient for your friend looking at the 588? I would imagine he has a better choice of style selection in the Yamaha, if they are S900 compatible...

Oh, that's right... great action, lousy arranger. Or great arranger, lousy action

Why doesn't Yamaha want to combine the two without paying a Clavinova sized FORTUNE for it?

OK... I'm done on this thread. See you over on the 588, Ian!

Again, the styles are not as important as the touch, and the 588 is at a terrific price...I certainly can't match it.

If he doesn't go for the Korg, I'll show him the Yamaha.

Would you mind if we just chatted on the one thread? Say your friend's 588 thread? OK?

It's basically the same topic.

What the jibberish is this 588?!
