How to layer recordings on the Yamaha DGX-660 | ePianos

[@gusturner4741]

David, Thank you so much, I've been trying forever to get multi-tracking on my DGX660. I'm an old (80) Rock& Roll piano player, been playing all my life always on the real thing, recently my best friend Mrs Gus. She told me she had bought me a 660 Yamaha, I'm a Harley man, but I thought I'll give it a go, she said it's in the workshop, I thought she's made a mistake she meant a Yamaha XT660R with overhead cams and a supercharger. I opened my workshop door to see the keys, haft an hour later WOW. and six months later playing left-hand bass and blowing it all through a "Hiwatt 100Watt" and a 15" speaker, what I've been missing all these years but I couldn't get to layering, but thanks to you it's now a piece of cake, I can't say how grateful I am to you. May the force always be with you, David. Some keys some woman. Luv of my life. Keep rockin' Gus. x

I’ve had this keyboard for about 4 years now and this whole time I’ve just been using it as a piano. Super cool learning all of the features it offers now.

[@MissileGuidance]

Same, was just about to sell it and then ...

[@ponylockz7371]

I recently purchased the DGX 660 and I'm loving it. There are so many things to learn about this keyboard because you can do so much. This demonstration on how to layer and record was very helpful, thank you .

[@jimgrice1678]

I just bought a DGX660 and I have watched at least a dozen tutorial tracks trying to figure out how to record myself (the written instructions are pretty useless). Your video is the shortest, the clearest and hands down the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@riiswaters]

Do you know how to record without any accompaniment?

[@reptiloid-kun9247]

Dude, I've had this exact piano for almost 15 years, and only now I understood how to record the music xddddddddd

[@semataryisbetterthanchitty7129]

THANKS SO MUCH!!! I HAD THIS KEYBOARD FOR LIKE 4 YEARS NOW AND I NEVER KNEW THAT TWO BUTTONS CAN DO THAT!!

[@ePianoscouk]

WAHEY!!! Great news! You learn something new everyday eh?!

[@isaiah_ig]

OMG! I've had this piano for so long and I've always wondered if it could do this. TYSM!

[@mintmikasa]

Super useful - thank you :) I needed this. Btw, I just got this keyboard and I love it. The weight of the keys is perfect & the sounds and functionality. Best keyboard for the price and features imo.

[@bhupendrapancholi1007]

are you mad this is not a keyboard this is a piano fool

[@lucendence4710]

I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU

[@ePianoscouk]

GOOD YOU'RE WELCOME!

[@lucendence4710]

ePianos.co.uk i just got this keyboard and for like 5 months ive been messing with it but i wouldve never thought it was a push and hold push

[@egopak]

Didn't know about the Score function! Thank you very much!

[@darykinnaman2319]

Very nice presentation. I own this keyboard and the new Korg and Roland. The Yamaha is still my favorite Piano even though it is a few years older. I learned a lot, but I needed a refresher on saving to the memory stick. Thank you.

[@ePianoscouk]

Thank you, Dary. Glad you liked the video. For your information, we have put all of our Yamaha DGX videos in one place on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/videos/dgx-videos/

[@carlososuna68]

Great Job! Thank you very much for your recording Tips!!

[@chestervazquez4982]

Is it possible to set the tracks recorded on a loop?

[@cobra4264]

Wonderful tutorial. I've learned in (less than) 6 minute more than one year of study the book.... :) Is any place where I can find (ask) more about Yamaha DGX660? Like. . programming, recording ? How can I correct/erase a single track from those? Or .... How to remove metronome/pause from the (beginning) recoded loop? Anyway, thanks for this simple, clear and straight explanations!

[@robertsaunders7179]

I wish you could do this video again using the DGX670 because there are a fair amount of differences between these two keyboards.

[@kathleenbonsall]

You have NO idea how happy I am to finally find something explaining that ridiculous manual. Thanks so much! Such a 🎁 Now we need one showing how to save on USB or to Garage Band if you know

Hello, is it possible to record your own voice as a track?

[@nobbythenobster2k0]

Thanks I own one so this was very helpful 👍😊

[@JakobusIsrael]

Can You make a video for the 670 dgx as well?

[@maniLNW]

This was very helpful, thanks!

You're welcome

[@supercallifragi]

brilliant mate thanks am about to buy a 660

[@ElisabethDonati]

That was fun. Thanks.

[@kennethhaight860]

Hey, really enjoyed the tutorial. But what I can't seem to do is play back the user songs once I've recorded them in a different session. When I turn on the piano again, and go to file control, and select user song 1 or 2 ect. I can't get it to then play the song or do anything. I also can't figure out how to do it in the manual.

[@Soulindex]

Having trouble with this. When playing back, I can hear the multiple voices recorded, although when saving to USB, only one voice (usually the Natural! Grand) stays in the track, while the other is muted. How can I get all tracks to transfer?

[@ePianoscouk]

I wonder whether you've transferred the MIDI track rather than the .wav file? - difficult to tell. Try a soft reset if nothing else works and try again.

[@Soulindex]

@@ePianoscouk The .wav file doesn't hold the additional voice, but I was first trying with the MIDI track. Listening to it on the piano itself doesn't reproduce the additional voice either, even directly after recording. The piano is relatively new, so I don't think I've flipped the wrong settings and broken something yet, but at the same time, I can't seem to find any answers online for this

[@monra722]

Hi. I would like to see a comparison between Yamaha Dgx 660 vs 515 P. Which is the best. Thank you.

[@cosmothorpe2506]

Is there a way to edit the volume of individual layers afterwards?

[@cosmothorpe2506]

Found it, Function, category over to Main Volume and Song volume

[@lrserv]

Great video! Is there a way to record in layers to an audio (WAV) recording, or is this only possible for MIDI recordings?

[@CHUCKIEB158]

I think the best way to do that would be to convert in adobe audio from the flash drive. If i'm doing a really nice soundtrack. I record one at a time and transfer it to adobe where I can control sounds and volumes. takes a little longer but sounds great.

[@MichaelHadac]

Good Demo! Question: Can I download some additional Synth Sounds for my DGX-660 and save them to this keyboard? Where can I download more demo tracks? Thanks, Michael.

[@mamadz7493]

DGX-660 or P-125? in terms of sound and feeling realistic piano?

[@ePianoscouk]

P125 probably better as just a piano. But DGX give you so much more fun.

[@S-the-simple-engineer]

@@ePianoscouk Do they use the same GHS mechanism?

[@Music_Sonix]

I tried both today dgx definetely, the sound is way better, the 125 sound like a toy

Oh and i also bought it! 😁

Ready to pull my hair out and feeling a bit dense. lol...maybe someone can provide VERY clear step-by-step directions. My hair follicles thank you in advance.

Hello Sir, I`m watching your video in Brazil. Could you tell me if is it possible record any musics on this piano? I´m composer and I´d like so much record my own musics by myself. Sorry about my english...

Can you loop chord progressions on this keyboard?

No. But you can on newer keyboards from Yamaha like the SX700 and SX900 - You can see some of our demonstration videos of these here: www.epianos.co.uk/video/sx-series/

[@mattferrara1970]

BUT can you save to a USB drive the SEPERATE tracks???

How can i record more than 5w tracks?

[@ePianoscouk]

I think there's a way to 'bump' the tracks down to a single one and then record more over the top. I'll be experimenting with this soon on the latest keyboard version; Yamaha DGX-670. We have loads more videos to see on our website here: www.epianos.co.uk/tv
