    As others have pointed out, the DGX 660 has a great piano sound for the price, good keys and decent speakers. Where it falls down is with other more challenging samples of solo instruments like woodwind, brass, saxes, guitars etc. Most of them are rather poor and uninspiring samples of the type which were common many years ago, which is why most demonstrators avoid demonstrating them, as in the example here. Yamaha creates artificial market prices between its models by carefully leaving out sounds from which by now it has made its investment back thousands of times over, but reserves them for the Tyros, CVPs, Genos and other devices just so it can charge £xxxxs more for features that now cost it very little to implement.
    It reserves its so-called super-articulation voices for keyboards in the £2000 upwards range, leaving devices like the DGX with little more than XG, GM and GS standard voices that frankly were out of date twenty years ago, except for just a few decent samples which they thrown in as a"favour". The result is that you have a choice of hundreds of crap sounds and hardly any decent ones.
    While Yamaha does offer generally higher quality than some other makes, it creates in consumers a gullibility by leading them to believe that really quite ordinary features nowadays are somehow very expensive to produce. They are not! For example a colour touchscreen is chicken feed nowadays, but Yamaha still shoves in a primitive mono-screen (which it tints a ghastly blue colour) onto the DGX. That is plain mean. Even the most modest Casios have fully functioning colour touchscreens on equivalent models.The reason you don't hear retailers demonstrating much more than the piano and "styles" is because they know that a big weakness of this otherwise decent keyboard lies in the very poor solo instrument samples. As if that wasn't bad enough, they offer a lousy 5 track recorder. Even the lowly Casio CT X3000 has 17 tracks!
    BTW, decent piano samples can be had very cheaply nowadays. It's not rocket science. Sustaining instruments like flutes, oboes, bassoons, horns, brass and accoustic guitars are much more difficult because they require a sensitivity and awareness of attack and then sustain, which most sample programmers are quite poor at implementing, with gaffes like over-done vibrato and over-the-top high EQ which makes the sounds naff. Contrary to popular belief, you can make a very decent sample without expending gigabytes of bandwidth. You just need a very good ear and good taste.

      Ok so, I was looking in the comments for someone who seemed knowledgeable enough to really help me out. So, (if you don't mind) can you help me? lol
      I'm already a professional musician, but in drums and percussion, and I've currently been studying music theory and paino for the past 2 years.. and I plan on becoming a professional pianist withing the next decade or so, so I've been saving up for an 88 key keyboard for a while, I'm on $850 in savings so far, and I was considering this keyboard.. but I do not want crappy samples.. like if I'm paying close to pay close to a thousand dollars, I want quality and ESPECIALLY longevity in everything.. as professional musician I have NO idea where I will be financially in the future once I reach a professional point in piano.. so I want to by a serious professional keyboard now, and make it last.. but I can't spend three thousand dollars right now.. I can do maybe $1500 at MOST. I want a keyboard with 192 polyphony, a decent screen, (I wouldn't mind wooden keys.. as for keys, I just want something that will last, and I will feel amazing. I heard wooden keys feel the best, so that's why I considered wooden more than anything, but I don't mind plastic keys that feel just as great.. I just want amazing feel that will last with out keys crapping out on me 5 years later.)
      but especially, I want sounds that sound amazing, The sounds I really want are orchestra instruments, and realistic human vocal choruses. Like church chiors, midevil sound choirs etc. I DO plan on using midi and garagband on my Mac, and I know I can get free sounds, but if I can get great sounds in my piano already by default.. then why not right? I need all the options I can get as a song writter/composer.. as I don't want to pay $1000 for a set a midi choir sounds.. and as they would sound great, I just can afford that now.
      I also want something that has three pedals because as I said, I'm buying to make future me happy, not current me. Current me will just slowly learn everything.
      I also do reallyy like those Japanese pianos, the ones that have 2 keyboards and alot of pedals for compositions. I would honestly love to get one if they where in my price range (I know they probably aren't lol) I forgot the name of them.. but I hope you know which I'm talking about. lol
      Also I need a modulation wheel no matter what.
      I want my piano to be used for composing virtual orchestras instrument by instrument together, using the midi sounds and the in keyboard sounds. I basically plan on making music of all styles, then scoring them. So I need expression so by scores don't sound dead amd robotic, hence the modulation wheel, and the pedals.
      I DO need above all, a way for me to make a violin for example, crussando. I need it to go from low volume to higher volume.. I already own a mini 20 something key midi controller keyboard that I can do that with a wheel on it.. but I need a keyboard that has a wheel on it that I can do that with too.. unless a foot pedal can be assigned to do that? Remember I'm using garagband.. lol I can't assign stuff like that from that DAW. So it will either need to be assigned from the keyboard, or the keyboard just needs to have 2 wheels on it, one for a whammy kind of effect (that's what I mean by modulation, in case you think I mean changing keys, which I don't mean.) and one for dynamics, which will allow me to make it seem like a violin is really strumming by going from low to high volumes.
      In all, what keyboards, or maybe synthesizers? would you recommend within my price range? I did mention synthesizers, because people say the keys don't feel real.. and I want the keys to feel real considering I will be stuck with those keys for a very very long time. lol
      As for screen, that's the least of my concern to be honest. lol As long as it's not going to stop working, or break for no reason, or dim (as in it glitches out and perminantly dims) for no reason.. or blind me while my rooms light is on, I don't care much. lol
      Thank you SO MUCH in advance for reading all of this, and for your help! 😊 I really appreciate it.

      @NealNot 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Evgeniyazh Lol well, I can't help but write something long, especially when I have this many questions. Unfortunately, I haven't really found what I want yet, and mainly due to my budget.. It's VERY hard to find 3 pedals, plus an expression pedal, with pitch and modulation wheels, with as many great internal sounds as the DGX 660.. I'm looking for so much on one piano, because what I'm creating demands so much.. especially since I'm not just playing piano, but I'm composing orchestra pieces, playing virtual synthesizer and vst instruments, and doing anything that comes to mind in the moment of inspiration really. If you do find anything atleast under $2000 with ALL of these things on it, please come back here and link me to it. I would really appreciate it so much! :) Best of luck to you! :D

      I appreciate your work very much and you may have gutted the gullibility in my geared up gut to get something like this. I certainly will save this comment for my reference, whilst giving you the credit for this. I may have saved myself some possible buyers regret. The good thing about this is that the piano samples and a few other instruments are good, but the others, as you had specified, not so.
      Question: I am looking for an electric piano, with good touch and the feel of an acoustic, various piano voices, devoid of the glut of too many miscellaneous imitation instruments with not so good sampling. What would you suggest?

      Sushrut Gaikwad for the money it's 'ok'. They've bumped the amounts of held notes to 192 which is best in class. Guess it's a bit of an all rounder, not the best if all you want is a piano but its a fun instrument and great for kids, it has enough toys to keep them interested in playing as they increase there ability to play.

      Stephen Morgan what do you mean 'toys'? all those differnet rythms and sounds aare toys? you can make a piece on your own with this thing, yes I aggre it doesn't have the best recording simmilarity to replace a real piano but look at all those options! Pricewise, you can't get a better instrument, (or should I say WHOLE BAND) with heavy hammered keys 88 in number and an ok simmulating piano sound (and pproximately 5000 other sounds) for less than 1000 euros! And ofcourse it has a tone of other features that I don't need to mention right now.. I mean if you want just a piano annd you're willing to pay this amount of money, ok buy something else! But this thing can do a tone of other things and you cann't just call it a 'toy'

      LiFeeIsSMusicC For real life like sampling use Tyros 5, for real Piano play a Yamaha Grand Piano. It's a jack of all trades instrument but put against a Clavinova 7 series it's a toy. For the money its ok. After saying that Jools Holland carries a NP32 to practice on which costs well under £400. In my opinion it's a great 'toy' and stepping stone to greater offerings.

      Hi Matt, thanks for your comment, connecting the piano can DGX in several ways. If you want the audio from the instrument, you can connect the line-out to a recording device. Then you can further use a recording program on your computer. Then you can even record different tracks separately. With this software you also have the option to record midi data. Then you use the USB connection of the DGX. In addition to the sounds of the DGX, you can also use other Plug-In instruments. These are separate on your computer. All in all, many possibilities to connect your DGX. Good luck and a Musical Greeting, Menno Beijer
