Yamaha DGX-620

Well, I have this thing for 3 years I believe, and what a disappointment to find that is autistic.
One cannot control anything, without using a computer (which will crash anyway, as usual). An AudioFan wrote to support and here's the answer:

This is distressing, for the price of failing to put two miserable MIDI jacks!

In addition they should still have even put in an audio input mini-jack, but it was too expensive I guess ...

UTILIZATION

Furthermore it is painful to use, you set the reverb to a sound, you switch back and hop sound and the reverb is default NULL ...
I mean not even the sequencer is zero progress in 15 years from them.

I feel that anti-user interface dates from the Cromagnon era, and it actually cools cravings.

Hostile koa.

SOUNDS

Here it is really improving! the sounds are nice and some are very realistic, a good feeling every time.
The amplification system retained, albeit small on paper, is excellent and the stereo out very well (gap obliges speakers). That is why I wish I could plug in my CD player for example, given the cost of the dgx ...

Something still bugs me every time is that they have not been even able to equalize the sound in relation to each other so hello ears at some changes.

Directly related to the quality of sound is that of touching the keyboard, for me the good resistance (more than one but less privia clavinova). It seems against unsuitable for a quick game (do not care, am not a pianist!).

OVERALL OPINION

Globally and especially for the price, a disaster. Yamaha has stolen my money on this one, I will next time gaffe.
And it will certainly be soon, the dgx taps me on the system seriously, and another manufacturer, who knows what ergonomics and ease of use means.

88 ratings, heavy touch
Hifi amp Roland KC-150/chaine Denon / Bose
Sustain pedal

UTILIZATION

The touch is nice to use acoustic piano, less obvious to others (organs etc.)
Manual clear and sufficient

SOUNDS

Sounds piano, strings, flute are pretty realistic.
Favorite sounds: acoustic piano, electric, violin, flute, backing vocals.
Suitable expression

OVERALL OPINION

Used until 2011, replaced by Kurzweil K2600S.
I enjoyed the sequencer mode and lesson to introduce my grandchildren.
Very good price / quality ratio.
Interesting for a first purchase.

I did that for a week.
- 88 notes
- Heavy touch
- 500 votes "live grand piano"
- Sustain pedal
- 2 USB connectors for use as a master keyboard and backup to standard USB removable devices.
- Auto Accompaniment
- Pre-recorded style
- Function "pat" anti false note
- Function arranger (if you can call it that)
- Displays the score and lyrics midi files that can also be used as a lesson.
I have absolutely no reference to compare so there are things I can not be estimated. I find it very néamoins full light of the report functionality / price.
This keyboard has directed me to someone like me who wants a versatile and simple functionality while remaining affordable and quality. It is a little big and heavy for a portable keyboard is not something you walk from one room to another every day and it is recommended to attach a support with 4 screws when it is placed on it ...

UTILIZATION

Installation and assembly of the foot without worries.
Well as touch and I said I can not say too much about me so I refrain senstion I am playing on a piano but ...
Setup is simple as with any electronic instrument panel a little change we must get used to the interface but no big problem.
Linking with a sequencer is very simple (requires a driver supplied)
Functions in general are too driven to Mount taste but the bottom line is there and given the price is already very good.
A touch is enough to switch back to digital piano "live grand piano"
The style is pretty focntion also search for song on line agreements with a preformatted orchesatration.
"The arranger" when he was only allowed to change the two main voices of a MIDI file (sustain duet chorus volume greened etc. ..) the other one can not make them dumb at best.
It is problematic when one wants to use a non-standard midi file into a lesson, but I think by changing it into a sequencer should be able to correct it otherwise there is an app that adjusts the non-standard files to the standard SMF and XF but expensive (70 €).
The manual is correct, illustrated but not very detailed.
In summary this keyboard is quite simple to use.

SOUNDS

500 sounds it leaves something to be
the sounds seem not too bad but it's quite variable from one instrument to another instrument in general the wind has a sound better than the string "live big" however sounds great (the voice "live string orchestra "is really not bad too).
We can split the keyboard for, unwanted by two votes, so even define the split point can be added to the effect on voice also.
The term satisfies me but again I have nothing to compare.

OVERALL OPINION

Versatile functionality and value / quality / price
I do not know if it's worth it to buy it as a simple digital piano is better to have utility at least a few additional features it offers.
Anyway I am not disappointed with this purchase for now.
I just regret that lack of features on the pseudo arranger.

Hello first 88 notes in it so the extent of about 500 piano sounds very realistic you can plug a USB drive or a USB host computer in there with a headphone jack, sustain output

UTILIZATION

The feel is very realistic is amazing to me that playing the piano is the top.L use is very simple and user manual is designed for novices

SOUNDS

Yes all sounds right for me except maybe a lack of quantity of guitar but ... If they're very realistic and responsive to the touch, I prefer the piano and steel guitar sounds, and flute and tenor saxophone

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two short weeks and I also acts as the arranger for the price that is Not too much went fait.Je tried other models such as Casio wk8000 the clp 220, the YDP-131, in p70 scotto music but in Marseille at the money DGX 620 is top notch! In addition to this store have the promo on their site at € 850 with headphones offered a + usb is amazing! So I dived and I'm delighted to thank you yamaha this little gem!
