Yamaha introduce an all new line of DGX Series of Digital Portable Keyboards. Designed for the consumer electronics market, the DGX 220, DGX520 and DGX620 are amazing achievements in design, features, performance and value in all-inclusive electronic musical instruments.

The DGX Series provide the look and sound of an acoustic piano and are ideal alternatives to a large instrument for customers with space or cost limitations. With the Yamaha DGX Series, not only do users get a high quality, moderately-priced digital piano, but also a diverse feature set typically found on high-end professional synthesizer products.

Full sized piano-style keys are the hallmark of the DGX Portable Grands. Model DGX520 includes lightly weighted keys while model DGX620 includes Graded Hammer/Touch Sensitive action that mimics the weight and feel of an acoustic grand. More than 400 Instrument Voices (including XGlite voices and 12 Drum/Percussion/SFX kits) and onboard effects (Chorus, Delay, Reverb, EQ) produce stunningly realistic sounds. With the One Touch Portable Grand function, the single press of one button creates the incredible realism of a stereo grand piano. Add expression to your playing by using the pitch bend wheel, or by adding a sustain pedal. The DGX Series can be enjoyed through the dynamic stereo speakers, or through the privacy of headphones.

Recording original music is fast and easy with the 5-song / 6-track capacity on-board sequencer. Models DGX520 and DGX620 also include Lyric and Scoring viewing capability, giving users the option to simply press the Score button and see the notation on the large bitmapped LCD display—even for the songs they’ve recorded themselves.

An integrated Easy Song Arranger includes a library of 150 Styles and 267 Songs.

And with Yamaha’s Performance Assistant technology, anyone can play a song—even with only very basic musical skills. Two modes of play are available, Chord or Melody. In Chord mode, when the keys are struck in time with the music, the notes are corrected to match chords of the song being played. No matter what keys that you hit on the keyboard, the correct notes will play. In Melody mode, the song begins without a melody. Once again, no matter what keys are stuck on the keyboard, a melody will play.

Keyboards and digital pianos are increasingly being used in conjunction with computers, both at home and in school, and are often a pathway to serious music education. The Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) is a personal music teacher built into the DGX Series. Starting with timing, progressing to playing the correct notes and finally progressing to playing a song with both hands, Y.E.S. offers the tools needed to build musical proficiency with exercises, grading and songs to learn.

The DGX Series is fully PC computer compatible with Flash ROM for downloading and storing songs from the Web, USB “TO DEVICE” storage (DGX620 and DGX520), and USB MIDI.
