I just picked one up with power supply, sustain pedal and music stand all still with it for $75. Sounds great. Looks unused with no yellowing or blemishes. My first piano back in 1987 was a Yamaha PF 10 that I learned on in school and got one for myself.
I have the DGX-650 with fully weighted, hammer action keys. It's fantastic, especially for the money. Weighted keys are very important in terms of piano technique, and I find it easier to play that way...I'm less prone to fumbling around. I believe the DGX-505 has "lightly weighted" keys. Definitely not the same thing.
It does, but really feels NOTHING like an acoustic piano. The sensitivity adjustment only changes the volume response of the key, not it's actual feel or weight.
It's still a great keyboard, my current keyboard is still the 61 key version the PSR-295. A used keyboard is also cheaper than a new one and I haven't upgraded ever since.
It's still a great keyboard if you can't afford a Tyros or a Clavinova. It's the perfect balance between having a keyboard and a piano rolled into one.
This range of entry level arranger keyboards are so underrated. If anybody has the video of this guy demonstrating the Yamaha PSR-295 please could they upload it?
Hi , can anybody say me, what music did he play on the start of his demonstration ? It was very melodious, so would like to know which music that was ? I heard that before but not getting, Please tell me what music was that which was played by him at the start of demonstration .Please help. Thank you.
@jonathanbain14 DGX-305 has 480 voices as well as DGX-505. I still think that the only difference is a number of the keys. Does DGX-505 have a piano action? Or just light-weighted keys like DGX-305?
@UMTomaS i think the 505 may have slightly more voices, i counted something like 480 as well as 88 note keys which btw does make a big difference if you want to play something quite adventurous.
@UMTomaS im unsure because i dont really know what lightweighted keys are, they definetly have more resistance than my old keyboard, they are box shaped and they have touch response.
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying . I checked some people said weighted key
Its a Smartmedia card. An old type of media card generally used in instruments and cameras. It was replaced by SD card generally. I have this and a card. It adds "infinite" "user songs" to the memory banks. Without the card, you only get 5 songs to store.
Great keyboard, but why YAMAHA did you make the piano sample worse in the top range on the next generation after this? So sad about that, because I always stick with YAMAHA.
Can someone tell me what is the difference between DGX-505 and DGX-305?? The only difference that I found is that DGX-505 has 88 keys and DGX-305 has 76 keys. Is it just about this? 'cause other things like styles, voices, functions and keyboard look are completely same...
Hi, I couldn’t find the accurate information on this, is this WEIGHTED key or light/semi weighted key? Cuz I am getting on online I would like to know before buying . Some days it is weighted, some days it is feathery light. I wanted weighted key ...
You can also use it in music production to create arpegios or make your midi parts sound "more professional". With USB you can even use this function with VST instruments.
Whoever says that you need weighted keys has very limited musical skills, this guy is proving that you don't necessarily need weighted keys to get a satisfying piano playing experience, in all actuality, touch sensitivity is all you need, it's all psychological, nobody at any of your live gigs will be able to tell you are on a digital piano with unweighted keys, all they're going to hear is that magnificent piano sound
