YAMAHA DGX 300/500 serious weakness unless I miss something - 12/04/02 04:05 PM
After listening to the great sounding demos of the DGX300 pianos from svpworld, I revisitted this keyboard again.
I would have bought this keyboard if not for one glaring weakness. You cannot select a separate manual bass. It allows you to select split mode and lets you select a combination set of bass and RH voices(piano, etc). But it does not allow you to independently select the bass voice without changing the RH voice. When in this split mode, I don't think you can even layer anothe voice.
Interestingly, the much cheaper DGX200/202 DOES allow you to change the bass voice, RH voice and a layered voice indedently. BUT it does not have the registration memory which is a SERIOUS drawback for live play.
Am I missing something here guys ?
