Yamaha DGX-660 -Digital Piano

Authentic Piano Touch

The Yamaha Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) 88-note keyboard features a weighted action with heavier touch at the low end and lighter touch at the high end, helping to faithfully replicate the feel of a traditional acoustic piano. For the aspiring pianist, practising on the GHS action builds and improves the proper finger technique, along with strength needed for performing on an acoustic piano.

World-Class Concert Grand Piano with Pure CF Sampling

The Pure CF Sound Engine that is housed within the DGX660 combines many years of acoustic piano heritage with modern sampling techniques. Yamaha is renowned for its digital piano technology and you can certainly hear this in the Voice that utilise the Pure CF piano sampling. The sound of a Yamaha CFIIIS 9′ concert grand piano is faithfully reproduced, resulting in both incredible dynamics and expressiveness.

Your Own Personal ”Piano Room”

The DGX660 provides a dedicated virtual space where you can choose from a variety of pianos and acoustic settings, resulting in your own personalised practice or performance environment. Simply select your desired piano, then choose an acoustic setting from a plain room to a club stage or a concert hall.

Play and Sing

This Yamaha Digital Piano allows you to connect a microphone and sing along with your own playing, or with pre-recorded Karaoke song files from Yamaha Musicsoft. Lyrics are displayed on the DGX660’s display, while your vocals and backing are mixed seamlessly together through the built-in speakers. Three presets are also included for added convenience, or you can create and save your own original microphone settings including professional reverb and chorus effects.

Simple Chords… Professional Sound

Smart Chord ensures you sound like a pro, even if you’ve just started to learn how to play a song. With a single finger of your left hand, Smart Chord will create entire chords from simple Pop triads to complex jazz 7th and 9th chords. Accompaniment Styles then create the rest of your virtual band, while you get straight to playing the music.

Damper Resonance

The innovative Damper Resonance function digitally reproduces the sympathetic vibrations created by the strings of an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is used during a performance, other strings add resonance to the notes you play until the pedal is released.

Live! Cool! and Sweet! Voices

Authentic guitars, melodic strings, punchy brass and more… The highly acclaimed Live!, Cool! and Sweet! Voices feature a unique blend of long, stereo and multi-layered samples that capture the authentic essence of each instrument – right down to realistic resonance, expression and vibrato.

Convenient USB Audio Recording and Playback

With the DGX600 you can now record your performances or MIDI songs in uncompressed, CD-quality audio (WAV format) directly to a USB flash drive using the built-in Audio Recorder. This provides you with the ability to copy your songs to your computer, share them over the internet or transfer them to your portable music player.
