YAMAHA DGX 670 EPIC (Must See!) Pianos, Styles & Plug GUITAR/Mic in! & Orchestra!

[@robertsaunders7179]

Phill, thank you so much for another great video. As this keyboard's internal electronics and firmware are very similar to the Yamaha SX600, I just wish that they had included a Mod Wheel and an Arpeggiator on the DGX670 which they then could have marketed as the SX600 88 key version but then I'm sure it would have become a much more expensive instrument and not the great bargain that it currently is, today.

[@phillc]

Hey Robert! Thanks as always for your viewership and great ideas. 100% agree 😊 Yamaha are like "you want a mod wheel?" That will be just a couple hundred dollars and a bit of change 😂 They know what they're doing!! 😑

[@robertsaunders7179]

Phill, I just discovered today a work around for the lack of a Mod Wheel which I don't know if you are aware of? It involves attaching an Auxiliary Pedal to your Aux Port on the back of the keyboard and then if you select Menu followed by Controller you are presented with a list where you can Select your Aux Pedal by pressing Enter and then by using your 1&2 buttons (located under your Screen Display) you will be presented with a list of items that can be Assigned to the Aux Pedal one of which is Modulation that can then be Selected and Entered. Lastly you can Save your Aux Pedal Modulation Setting to one of the four available Registration Memory Banks to retain your setting. Definitely not as good as having a dedicated Mod Wheel but a solution for triggering Modulation on the DGX670.

@@robertsaunders7179 GENIUS! That's a worthwhile workaround! Real awesome :) Thanks for sharing Robert!

I bought my DGX 670 almost three years ago, and I’m still amazed at the versatility of the hidden objects within it.

[@phillc]

Truly loaded with hidden gems indeed Tom 😁 💎 🎹🎶

[@joeljesutano8299]

This keyboard gets underrated alot...in my opinion this is a really decent board and the features it has at this price is ridiculous ❤❤ Love the board

[@phillc]

Well said my friend! Viva DGX 670! 🙂❤

[@trugrace7875]

Awesome bro! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Love your playing.What speakers do you hook it up to.

[@phillc]

Thank you. I don't use my full gigging system for this. For recording, I use headphones and go directly into the PC using USB Audio. For external playing, I go with a simple Behringer combo. K450FX kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJa4ZWuopJqYqKs

[@elhombre2711]

For some reason your playing reminds me of Keith Jarret's Koln concert. Thanks for sharing.

[@phillc]

Thank you @elhombre2711 for the massive compliment! Keith is one of my heroes. I love LOVE his playing and listen to him a lot! Cheers!

@@phillc You're welcome. :)

[@oluwabiyi30]

Keep up the good work bro. Do you think this piano will be perfect for african style of music or genre such as highlife, makosa and all that.

[@phillc]

Thank you bro. Yes it has all the sounds for Afro type music. I should do a demo. Now for live play, fantastic. But there are no prebuilt Afrobeat or native styles. But it has sounds for it!

[@oluwabiyi30]

@@phillc thanks bro. Please do a video pertaining to african music thanks

[@oluwabiyi30]

@@phillc it will have to be created from the scratch I guess.

[@phillc]

@@oluwabiyi30 Yes. Here is a video creating a beat on the Triton. I had forgotten about this one and it needed a volume boost so THANK YOU for your question! I will do one for the DGX too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3TEp3doZqasjdEfeature=shared

[@sidstricks]

Hi Phil...I would like to know how's the DGX speakers?? Does it produce good sound quality of a CFX grand?

[@phillc]

Personally, I love the sound and I listen to my Spotify music streaming through the speakers using bluetooth, but depending on how loud you like your music, you may need something louder. Personally I find it sufficient but others have said when continuously maxed out, some buzz and tremor could result.

[@sidstricks]

@@phillc thanks for the feedback Phil...means a lot❤️❤️

[@gantswood]

Can I play sty files from a USB drive on this beautiful keyboard?

[@phillc]

@gantswood Thanks for the question. I have never used Style files, however this page may offer some insights: shop.usa.yamaha.com/style-files-compatibility-chart# - If anyone knows the answer to this question, please comment. Cheers!

[@pantoneneken1223]

Ok!

[@MusicGoodies-]

Does the bluetooth work with android? Also, how are you hooking up this keyboard so that we hear it ?

[@phillc]

Yes. The Bluetooth works with android. I am using the USB out to the computer and running it through OBS. That is how you're hearing the sound.

[@MusicGoodies-]

@@phillc Thanks 😊

[@MusicGoodies-]

@@phillc Will I get the type of sound if I run direct to my QSC speakers?

[@phillc]

@@MusicGoodies- Yes, run stereo into a good amp and lift the high EQ minimally. It should sound great.

[@Life-is-a-Dance]

Breath of fresh air in your tutorial, are you playing through the built-in speakers. Thank you.

[@kosomolsk]

Oh so you *can* plug your guitar even though it lacks a dedicated switch for the mic input like the SX700 and up,

[@phillc]

Yes indeed you can! 😊💯 It does have a Mic 🎤 input which I just converted to my own purpose 😁 but yes, you are correct...it does NOT have a fancy switch like the PSR-SX 700 and 900 👍 purposely for guitar vs mic.

[@amusic9825]

Any keyboard with a mic input will able to do it.

[@kosomolsk]

@@amusic9825 Don't mics and guitars usually have different input levels?

[@amusic9825]

@kosomolsk I have an EW425, and I connect my guitar through the mic input. It works.
