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.
