Key Features and Specifications
The DGX-670 is a “portable grand” that excels in both serious piano practice and creative music arrangements, making it popular with beginners and intermediate players alike.
Keyboard Action: Features an 88-note Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted action with matte black keytops. The weighting is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, providing a realistic acoustic piano feel.
Sound Quality: The piano sound is generated using CFX Stereo Sampling, which faithfully reproduces the majestic sound of Yamaha’s flagship CFX Full Concert Grand. It also includes Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) to deliver vivid and richly varied expression by simulating the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.
Voices and Styles: The instrument offers a wide range of creative possibilities with over 601 instrument Voices (including pianos, organs, strings, and synthesized sounds) and 263 Automatic Accompaniment Styles (e.g., rock, R&B, jazz) that function like a virtual backing band.
Connectivity: It features Bluetooth audio connectivity for wireless music streaming through its speakers, USB-to-Host for computer connection, and a USB-to-Device port for recording audio to a flash drive. It also has a microphone input with effects, allowing users to sing along with their playing.
Display and Interface: A bright 4.3-inch color LCD screen provides easy access to all parameters and can display MIDI song notation to aid practice.
Modes and Functions: Includes features like Adaptive Style which automatically adjusts the accompaniment to match playing intensity, Smart Chord to play complex chords with a few fingers, and Duo mode for teaching.
