Oh wow! At last a decent demo. I am sick of seeing people mug their way through tuneless improvisations and here you are playing something truly classical which really shows off the piano at its best. I don't care that there was some slowing of the pace or struggling to find chords. Yours is still the best demo I have seen. Thank you!!!
I love this keyboard I am a busy working pianist in Miami I’ve got this thing 98% figured out as it is very user friendly Your sounds are now in a memory bank Very creative Thank you!
That sounds beautiful. I'm loving this keyboard and I appreciate the tips on how to bring out the potential. One small thing, in future videos you should have a 15 second clip of what it sounds like before you dive into the details on how to do it. The settings will make more sense as the viewer watches, plus it's incentive once you hear how beautiful it is to stick with the video.
Max you're so cool! Got my brand-new DGX today and I've learned a lot setting these very beautiful voices onto my keyboard, hats off to you man! JC here from the Philippines.
I’ve really enjoyed watching your video, thank you. The sounds you have demonstrated with your beautiful playing is so inspiring. I am so pleased I found your video as I have this great piano and as I do not have much experience yet playing and have not seen any videos at all on layering etc. it was very helpful to me. I do hope you will be making more videos in the future. You have explained everything so well which is very good for people like me who want to learn but haven’t got the knowledge of all the many things that this Yamaha DGX 670 is capable of. Thank you again and hopefully you may have another video to watch!
Your playing is beautiful. Thank you for that. I'm waiting for my DGX670. It will be delivered next week, but I'll be back here as I learn to play it. Your instructions are clear and easy. Again, thank you for this video. Take care!
Thank you so much for your video! I added a pair of Klipsch R-51PM speakers to my DGX670 to give the keyboard more depth and presence in the room. You're setting combinations are beautiful and sound wonderful through them. I appreciate your sharing and demonstrations.
Thanks, enjoyed the video and additional your info regarding the various layer settings. Thus far, I’ve only used the Mixer/EQ to lower the volume on the layer. Funny, I recently found and utilized the same CFX & Strings Pad combination and it works great, particularly with the Mixer volume lowered to the 70-80 range. I also like using the Chamber Strings, which adds a bit more to the strings sounds. Actually all of the strings are really nice accompaniment if so desired. Look forward to any additional videos regarding the DGX-670, which I’m really enjoying.
1. Beautiful. Love the sound of the first! Max can you show us what you did similar to this on the dgx 660? 2. OOOOoooooooo I love second voices too! Ohhh my! the pan on that is awesome! You have great settings. My My My! 3. sweeet! very nice!
Well thought out & executed… Max. Played beautifully, I hv a SX-900 so should be able to replicate most of these settings my SX-900. Unfortunately not over the full 88 key’s. I’m hearing better things about this DGX-70 every-time I tune into a DGX-70 blog or video. Well done Max . I’m one step more towards a purchase.😉
I have just bought this keyboard which I like very much. I am fairly new at playing the piano and I have never learnt how to change settings etc. I found your video very good and very interested to learn more. I shall replay this video, many times I’m sure, to see what I can achieve. I am hoping you have made more videos demonstrating what you can achieve etc. I can see that in one of the comments, it was mentioned about having a clip of what the sound was like before being changed. I think that’s a great idea and maybe I shall find this if you have done further videos since this one I have just watched.
I got the DGX670 yesterday and I’m totally thrilled! Now, having hundreds of sounds available, all I want to do is add the ones you created…😉 nice job! Oh, and I have to practice like a madman to one day maybe being able to play like that….
I am supposed to pick this one up on wed and need to know how loud the keys are themselves is their clunky or thumping noise from these keys, please answer I need to make a decision, as I need the weighted keys but think noise like that would be annoying ????
For the Ambient Piano, on mine, the Effect/ EQ: Reverb Depth & Chorus Depth says NOT AVAILABLE. any thoughts on how to fix it? , thanks can you make a video showing how do download more songs or style that are available from the Yamaha website . Thanks for the videos very helpful.
Thank you for so carefully instructing us DGX-670. The literature seems to be limited to Owners Manual, Reference Manual and Data List at the moment. I tried listening, trying and looking at your video. Here's what I found, repectfully: thanks. cfx, okay. string layer: @5:06 first time you said 22 for the depth. @5:30 however verbal repeat does agree with visual 55 for the depth. 2nd piano voice combination: at the EFFECT/EQ tab, both reverb and chorus depth say NOT AVAILABLE. The REFERENCE MANUAL page 16 says about REVERB and CHORUS 'the setting cannot be changed when a VRM voice is selected'. Upper right corner of AmbientPiano voice does say VRM. I'm just wondering how you managed to adjust the REVERB and CHORUS as you must have... 3rd piano voice combination: perfect.

Not sure why. But for the ambient piano. I was not able to set the eq effect reverb depth or chorus depth. It said not available. Anyone know why? Thanks

Great presentation and descriptions. I've played on the DGX-670 at an audio center and just like the 660, the 6 watt speakers still sound anemic, yet it sounds brilliant on a good headset. So what is the best amp/speaker system to augment the DGX when performing in front of a small audience venue. I've been looking at a couple tower array systems, yet the mid-range sounds a bit distorted in my opinion (treble and bass are fine). Any suggestions?
Thanks for asking. I bought a used Yamaha Portable PA System Stagepas 1K amp/mixer with array speakers. It has Bluetooth and sounds pretty impressive if playing music via Bluetooth or direct, such as iTunes, Pandora/Spotify. A Kraft music rep suggested lowering the "gain" on the Yamaha, and I'll have a more realistic sound with the DGX. We're in the midst of a move, so really haven't been able to attempt the new recommended settings. Technology is an every changing dynamic and I'll keep pushing the innovation, but so far have really enjoyed the DGX-670, although recording and transferring to a thumb/flash drive has been very challenging and not as user friendly as I had hoped. Too many layers! @@Christian-mj7qj
Maybe someone can tell me the settings for the most realistic piano sound, but without the second layer. On the back instrument, the left hand part sounds too boomy and bassy. Thank you.
I have a question ! My main priority is beautiful piano sound. Shall I buy Dgx 670 or shall I go for MX88?? Please answer. I want to make Piano covers . And i also teach students
There are a few questions about this. Did you try these out using different settings on volumes and depth first to come to a decision on a specific strength? Also, we can hear what the DGX 670 is producing and I am positively sure you hear a far different sound quality on your ear phones. This leads me to another question for the DGX670, are there any connections at the back to connect to high quality speakers to achieve the same quality from your ear phones? Mind you it does sound really good but there's no doubt whatsoever that my DGX660 sounds 100% better using ear phones.
Hi Colin, great question! Yes, I spent quite a large chunk of time prior to the video, deciding what sounds best, making changes to all these different settings as I went along. and yes you can plug into better monitors via one of the outputs at the back of the keyboard. The sound quality will of course be a touch better, but it wouldn't be overly noticeable in my opinion. Feel free to get back to us and let us know if you can hear the difference! Or if you're looking to buy a DGX-670, or monitor speakers etc, then feel free to contact us at sales@epianos.com. Many thanks, Max - ePianos
Can you show how to set up speakers through an external audio interface I have the Steinberg ur242 audio interface and can add speakers through that just want to see how u would do that, I want to be able to use the volume on the interface
Sounds really good, i'm looking for an option to sync styles with time signature. For example by default for every style it resets to 4/4 time signature even if i change it to 3/4 in the metronome settings. Can you help guide how do i change this?
Hey Arun, thanks for your kind and encouraging words. Unfortunately, I don't believe it is possible to do this, you can only change the tempo of the styles. Some of them will already be in different time signatures though. Let me know if this is of any help to you can sorry for the inconvenience. Many thsnkd, Max - ePianos
I couldn't work out if I had to take the LAYER Button off for each 1st part of each of the Piano Voices?? I am as green as grass beginner. Thanks for your understanding
Hi Coleen, the layer button doesn't need to be put on until you are done altering the settings on both voices. All the layer button does is simply allow you to play both instruments together. I hope that helps. - Max, ePianos
when in VOICE SET the first row shows the TAB options (Common/Controller/Sound/Effect_/_EQ/Harmony). The second row shows (LEFT/MAIN/LAYER) : (the current voice selected for LEFT/MAIN/LAYER). Even at this point the above text changes if you experimentally push those buttons on and off...
If it was not for this video, I would not have found out these functions were available I am about to say I need help with so thanks for that. Do you know the reason the chorus and reverb is showing as not available in the display and following page 6 of the manual nothing changes for the Yamaha dgx 670 please?

You skip some basics we need to know?”Going to my already saved voice”how do you save voices and recall them?when I turn the keyboard off I can’t seem to recall them
Hi there Robert, at 3:15 and 6:32 I show how to save your voice, and at 6:40 i show that to access what you have saved, you must go to the 'USER' tab. Let me know if this is clear to you. Many thanks, Max - ePianos
