Yamaha DGX230 76-Key Digital Piano
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced piano replacement, look no further than the DGX-230. It is the music student or professional musicians answer to I need more keys! and many music teachers encourage new students to get a keyboard that will grow with their needs. It features 76 non-weighted keys that not only look like piano keys but have a Graded Soft Touch (GST) action with different levels of resistance, making it easier for a budding musician to move to an acoustic or digital piano. The DGX-230 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The DGX-230 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it. The DGX230 has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. Imagine capturing your childs first performance or writing and recording your own songs. With the DGX-230, you have the equivalent of a built-in multi-track recorder to record one or multiple instrument parts at a time and assign each part to a different track. Six tracks are provided to accommodate sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment and rhythm parts. The DGX-230 comes with 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on an included CD-ROM and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them. In addition, you have the ability to connect to a computer via USB, download more songs from the Internet into the internal Flash ROM (PC only), and use all of the Yamaha Education Suite features to help you learn to play them. Yamaha makes it easy to get connected with the new PC button. Now, instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and your computer. In addition, once connected, you can play your songs into the computer (PC and Mac), edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back with the correct sounds. Master EQ: Tailor your sound Five different master equalizer (EQ) settings are provided to give you the best possible sound when listening through different reproduction systems—the instruments internal speakers, headphones, oran external speaker system. You’re in control. Refer to the User Manual for troubleshooting steps.

Beautiful voices, wonderful look and feel, fantastic value This unit is surprising in the quality and the number of features packed into one affordable package. I bought this keyboard to play avant-garde free-form classical jazz (I need most of the 76 keys), and hoped it would have a good grand piano sound, plus good response and feel to the keys, and found both aspects very good, even if not perfect.ProsGood voices, organs, EPs, strings, guitars, etc.Very good piano sound in both grand and bright piano voices!Big quality…
76 ( Keys ) and Still Got It Goin’ On!!! I tried to write a review a while back on this and somehow it didn’t take. Well, I want you all to know that I have been on a wonderful musical journey with my digital piano. From the first day that it arrived, I can truly say that it’s been nothing but musical bliss. If you don’t think that you can do much with 76 keys like I used to. Think again. This machine is packed with a lot of awesome features. And face it, unless you are playing and composing classical music or maybe progressive…
Beginner piano player here… I started taking piano lessons recently and I really like this keyboard. It can tell the difference between very soft key strikes and very heavy ones with a good range in between, in my opinion. That being said, I do not play professionally, but I am enjoying the keyboard a lot. It has a screen that shows me where the notes I’m hitting are on the sheet music which is helping me learn and be more certain if I am playing correctly or not. There are a ton of features, but I just use it for piano…
