First of all, Piano Room, what is it? I’d think of it as the emergency ‘Just go back to a piano’ button. There are loads of great functions on the DGX670 and this is just one of them. If you hit the button on the front panel that is shaped, funnily enough, like a piano, […]
If you’re hearing the term ‘digital piano’ for the first time, images of large, clunky, spaceship-looking & not-so-piano-like visions may spring to mind. However, I’d like to confirm before we move on that this is not the case. Although a relatively new creation (the first ‘electric piano’ was invented in the late 70s, compared to […]
Amidst the various lockdowns over the past year, we’ve been offered glimpses into the secret lives of celebrities homes & popstar studio set-ups during TV interviews & live streams, as we all adapt to a fresh way of continuing the creation of content. I’ve been quite envious of some peoples set ups, namely John Legend’s […]
Whenever you save your registrations into registration banks they are all kept in the registration banks with their names alphabetically listed- but the playlist feature allows you to group together songs that you want to maybe play in a medley, or together- I would suggest keeping Christmas carols together, or waltzes or singalong songs grouped […]
Perhaps a Flute with a nice mellow piano playing a soft melody together, like Tchaikovsky’s ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ with the strings to accompany. Or a swing jazz trio with the upright bass, the Rhodes electric keyboard and the drums… well, wonder no more! Because with the Yamaha Tyros 5, you can do just that, […]
Firstly, and this might surprise you. The Yamaha DGX670 is not controlled with a touchscreen as many of Yamaha’s keyboards now are. With DGX670 you navigate your way around the various features and functions by using physical buttons around the screen, and the data entry wheel. This doesn’t detract from the capabilities of this keyboard, […]
No, is the simple answer As of yet, none of Yamaha’s Digital Piano, or Arranger Keyboard models allow you to connect a Bluetooth speaker system or wireless headphones. The reason for this is because there is a slight delay between a key being pressed, and the sound being outputted by a wireless speaker system or […]
What is a Firmware Update? A firmware update is exactly what it sounds like; an update for your firmware. But what does that actually mean? Firmware is essentially the digital side of these instruments – what you see on the screen, the buttons, and the functionality that comes with them. Firmware updates are changes that […]
The Unison and Adaptive styles on the new Yamaha DGX-670 piano are moving the experience of playing alone at home (or in your shed!) closer to playing with real people in a band. In previous versions, the accompaniments were very good, but they had a certain robotic character to them and a lot of button […]
I promised myself that I wouldn’t play the Yamaha DGX670 until I had all the cameras set up ready to record. I wanted to document my learning experience during my first long play on this piano. Whoooosh! That all went out of the window when I made the terrible mistake of noodling a few notes […]
