Yamaha DGX670 - Whats New, Features, Sound and Demo

[@tomlavelle8518]

Hello from the US. Just bought the DGX 670 and am looking forward to exploring all the possibilities.

[@OnlineMD]

One GREAT feature that is not available in the Kawai ES920 that I also own: the AUX input volume can be adjusted, so you can even drop the volume of the piano itself to zero and just listen to the Aux input sound. This is fabulous for Piano apps like Piano Marvel. In that you send USB signals to your laptop, and the resulting sound, is played on the DGX670 speakers. In fact it has a feature called SoundGate which eliminates interference sounds. Whereas on the ES920 I hear a strong humming noise so I just cannot connect my laptop to the keyboard's speakers; I use an external Bose speaker.

Goos demo..i like Yamaha succes always

[@leannevitale3228]

Every review shows us how well you all play but I want to know how to use ALL the buttons.

[@AimingWanderously]

These vids aren't meant to be a video user manual, that's what the user manual is for.

[@OmarGarciaTV]

Thanks for your wonderful video, I see many important changes between the past models! Greetings;~{}

[@ConsciousKeys]

I agree! Worth an upgrade

[@sorinoprea5365]

Nice review mate! Subscribed

[@ConsciousKeys]

Thanks for the sub!

[@donajones1695]

Ordered 1💞👼💞👌💫

[@AimingWanderously]

Could I plug my computer speaker system (Klipsch) into this unit's headphone jack for added stereo and volume?

[@maryrichardson8091]

really great video!

[@ConsciousKeys]

Thanks Mary

[@prodmince]

A big step up from DGX 660, in my opinion.

[@ConsciousKeys]

Absolutely! We're excited for you to try it out in person!

[@s.o.s.pnaruto9523]

Lol, too bad I brought the DGX-660 a year before this came out. I should of waited 😢

[@yuditharmeizada6131]

please explain the sound of acmp dgx 670 when playing style, why the piano doesn't sound strings and when playing style control jumping from 2 to 1, how to save the bank for sound, I hope I can explain all of these tutorials

[@ConsciousKeys]

Thank you for watching and commenting but sorry, we do not quite understand your questions?

[@TheMusicgirl1]

I read thst this piano can transfer audio via usb cable ( without the need of connection to external audio interface) is that correct? is it possible to make a tutorial about it?

[@ConsciousKeys]

Yes that is correct. Simply connect it to a computer via USB and under your audio, the piano will be available to use as an audio interface as both an input and output device

[@Robin_0011]

Great video

[@ConsciousKeys]

Thanks Robin!

[@watchingyoutube7330]

How can you see chords without backing tracks?" Can we just choose a piano sound and try to work out the chord on our own? For example, if we flat the 3rd in real time we would see it go to a minor chord and then if we sharpen it we would see it go back to a major chord. Is that possible on the 670?

[@Pianooguitaar]

Great review, thanks!

[@ConsciousKeys]

Thanks for watching

[@lankanpianist2923]

Great. How the audio is being recorded (via USB or any other way)? We hear the originally recorded sound, or any post-editing is done?

[@OnlineMD]

MOST if not all of these videos use Audio out using USB or line out audio. However, the onboard speakers put out fabulous, rich sound with more than adequate volume for a large room. In fact I'm in an apartment building with "quiet time" between 1 and 3 pm, and I don't think I'll play this instrument then! :)

[@jbbryant9935]

I am a solo singer-songwriter who until recently always played acoustic. I have no musical education. I compose, write lyrics, sing and play piano. That's it. Now that you a bit about the person asking the following question... I have tried to fool around with some of the other features and have read through the two manuals. Here's my question: Who else agrees that the documentation is quite poor? Is in just me being a noob? It is split across two documents that are very similar to each other, but which are organized, paginated, and written very poorly. It almost reads like the documents were written to the people who already know digital keyboards. I'm not trying to be overly negative or critical here. But I do suspect that the documentation has not had a good look through by a professional documentor instructional design writer for quite some time. I will add that I looked only briefly at (I won't name it out of respect) a current Roland that is about as robust, about the same price, plays outstandingly, and has extremely well-written documentation. I love you, Yamaha. My accoustics have always been yours. I don't want to leave you know, but I need your help

[@jbbryant9935]

BiG QUESTION: Thanks for an excellent review of the DGX-670! This is my first modern electronic keyboard. I'm a home piano player / Singer-songwriter. Less of a traveling musician. I know how to record myself playing the piano and save my recording. My question is this: After I record myself playing the piano, how can I afterward record myself singing the song with the piano, and then save the combined piano/vocals as a WAV file? I hope that question is clear. I'd like to master and record the piano first, then layer my singing over top of the piano and save them as a single file. I've looked everywhere for instructions on this (including reading the manual :-)

[@teddydavid2816]

Hey there did you ever find out how to do this?

[@jbbryant9935]

Yeas I did @@teddydavid2816. I appreciate you following up and asking. It is actually simple when you know how, but to a Noob with no background in electric keyboards, it was harder to figure out than it should have been. The User Manuals aren't very friendly to musicians who are inexperienced with the technology. Thanks again!

[@teddydavid2816]

@@jbbryant9935 Fantastic! Is it easy to explain? I'm getting this as a gift for my gf who sings and plays so I want to know so that she will be able to do it. Or I can refer her to this comment as I haven't seen ot explained anywhere. Thanks for the response and help I appreciate it!!!

[@jbbryant9935]

@@teddydavid2816 It is sort of easy to explain, but it would also be several paragraphs. I will do my best to spend some time to write clear instructions and then post them here. I cannot promise to be quick... it may take a couple of days with my busy schedule. Happy to help though.

[@teddydavid2816]

@@jbbryant9935 hey hey bro it's all good her birthday is on the 23rd so we have some time hahaa but thank you so much you're a gentlemen and a scholar I really appreciate you to go through all that trouble for a stranger on the internets:)!!!

[@GhostyesBilly]

Thanks for the great review. I looked at the specs and found it only has two 6w amplifiers. Can it connect to external amplifiers and if yes, will the sound be compromised?

[@ConsciousKeys]

It will take external speakers, but because this also acts as a headphone output, it will be a lot more powerful than a standard line out. So just need to be careful you don't blow your speakers

[@OnlineMD]

Pls don't get dismayed by the seemingly low wattage of the speakers. The onboard speakers put out excellent volume and rich sound. Just as good as a Kawai ES920 which costs almost twice as much, with more than double the speaker wattage. I know because I own both now.

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

The es920 speakers are disappointing

[@tudorhoria764]

Yamaha dgx 660 the best model all the time . I playing dgx 670 but not a special, sound not bass , dgx 660 soround is beautiful and bass reflex . In my opinion DGX 660 is a beautiful piano the best . Have nice a day.

[@ConsciousKeys]

Glad you're enjoying your DGX-660! Thanks for watching

[@thehiddencode5686]

Well, that's you opinion and experience. Some people are mad because the DGX670 has the same price as the dgx660 right now. This new version is fresh and has more features and quality. It doesn't look cheap and does not have so many letters printed on the dashboard.

[@GER_1]

Thanks!!!

[@srikanththecoolhunk]

Hi, your review certainly helped me a lot and I made a decision to purchase this. How good is it as a MIDI controller for stage performance when connected to Macbook using Logic software?

[@ConsciousKeys]

Very pleased to hear you chose the DGX670 after watching our channel. We're sure you will love it like we do :-) We have not used this for a live stage performance yet but we have connected it to Logic Pro and it works great :-)

[@johnbradley3619]

Are we hearing the sound from the speakers?

[@ConsciousKeys]

It is a mix of the raw signal and some of the speakers

[@geezerintotech]

Does anybody know a good alternative to the Yamaha DGX series? Because from what I can tell the DGX series has over 600 different instruments and other portable digital pianos don't offer anywhere near the level of voices? The only thing I can imagine comes close is the Casio PX560 which is no discontinued. I'm looking for something like the Yamaha DGX 660/670 but perhaps with better speakers and a better keyboard in terms of the touch. Can somebody help?

[@Yagami00000]

Try the new roland fp60X. Keys is much better than dgx.

[@geezerintotech]

@@Yagami00000 does it have the functions like styles and accompaniments?

[@VicinalElk44104]

I mean, idk about better speakers and better keyboard, as they're probably not, but the casio cdp s350 has like 700 voices that sound pretty good as well, and the price comes in at about $300 cheaper than the dgx 670

[@biblestudy8720]

Can I plug in some extra speakers on this model?

[@bodbodii8654]

It doesn’t have those audio outputs

[@bodbodii8654]

So no

[@ConsciousKeys]

[@weightlessliving9856]

Seems a good upgrade...that Keybed is extremely noisy though, must be awful in person.

[@ConsciousKeys]

Keybed isn't too noisy. May be that I had the microphone too close to the board (I will learn for next time haha). But I would certainly say its no noisier than a CVP, CP88 or even the older DGX models :-) Thanks for tuning in though

[@weightlessliving9856]

Excellent. Just awaiting its arrival here in the states! Keep up the great videos!!

[@j.p.gagnon3432]

Two very good videos on that 670. It seems that many fans experience some difficulties with the registration procedure (passing from memory to bank to playlist) Or maybe it's just me, but I read many ''comments'' about that. When you transfer from memory to bank, il appears that the species of the last transfer applie also on the transfer that are already there, destroying them. I'm making a mistake and I don't know what. Maybe a little video on that procedure would be very appreciate. Many thanks. JP

[@luvkayakn]

The struggle with saving registrations and recording to the fabulous 16 track recorder is very real.

[@Robin_0011]

How’s the key touch compered to the 660?

[@ConsciousKeys]

They feel great! They are now finished with a matte coating so it feels more wooden. The action is still Graded Hammer Standard, so still a really good touch on the keybed

[@AbhijayDuggal]

The website says 'matte black keytops'. Are white keys also finished with matte/ivory touch or only the black ones?

[@ConsciousKeys]

​@@AbhijayDuggal The white key-tops are not matte, just the black keys . . . I believe this is the same as the Yamaha YDP144! It still feels great though!

[@HighlandStudio91]

6-watt speakers....powerful? Air-pushers,are they? I'll believe that when my DGX670 arrives & I hear it for myself.

[@7177-pr6hm]

He just said he only has it on 60% dude. It's not going to sound the same in person.

[@ConsciousKeys]

I can't wait for you to hear them in person! The speakers are great

[@HighlandStudio91]

@@ConsciousKeys Perhaps they are great in terms of sonic articulation....but I am concerned about volume(particularly when pushed)....will they distort easily when driven past 60%? It could be that certain presets or combinations may stress the speakers(6 watts is an alarmingly low spec.)

[@your_average_joe5781]

I think it's a great instrument but the speakers are still underpowered in my opinion for gigs.

[@irenaevs]

Thanks for the video, Boris Johnson

[@giannagiavelli5098]

jam packed - no organ drawbars, no vox. no proper output for audio recording. its def got great sounds in a minimal package

[@lloydtucker5647]

It does have an internal 16 track recorder.

[@lloydtucker5647]

It cost _"just under a thousand pounds?"_ So it's like 999 pounds and ,99 shillings?

Talk a lot, bat you play a little, I would not trust you with advertising, you do not fully reveal the tool and do not hear rock !!!
