MGR/Keith Simpson UK « Yamaha DGX 300 »
Published on 12/07/03 at 15:00This unit cost £327.00 from a Churchills Music in Bristol. The cost included courier delivery and a really heavy duty power unit. This was what swung the deal, as most other suppliers were charging extra for both.
Right from opening the box, this is a really beautiful piece of kit. It just oozes musical professionalism. The Grand Piano sound is excellent, and with the choice of effects and styles on board, you would be very hard pushed to find fault with this keyboard. If anything, your playing would improve.
It has a disc drive, so recording your own music, and downloading more midi files, of which there are thousands free on the web is a piece of cake.
So far I haven't found out how to use my own Style (.sty) files with the keyboard,
and I am having difficulty setting the melody volume. There seem to be two volume settings, for accompaniment, and style. probably I just haven't got the hang of it yet, but it isn't too clear in the manual.
The manual is good to fair, but could be a lot better.
The build of the unit is first class.
Can't fault it at all. Everything easy to get at, and the built in speakers (3 each side) are very good quality.
Go get yourself one. This is about the best value I've ever seen in a keyboard.
If you like 'real' piano music, then this is for you too.
With 78 keys, and as many sounds as you'll ever want, this is truly an awesome keyboard.
