Our Verdict On The Yamaha Dgx
The DGX-670 is a clear improvement on a series that was already very successful. Yamaha has created a keyboard with some advanced functions and easy-to-use controls.
It sounds better, feels better, and is tougher than previous models. Easily one of the best portable keyboard pianos in its class.
The DGX-670 has many features, and most of them are performance-based.
Adaptive Style
One of the features we love most is Yamahas Adaptive Style, which automatically adjusts to your playing.
Most keyboards with built-in styles/rhythms give you a couple of variations, but they arent always convincing. The DGX-670 has realistic variations, but more importantly, it changes in response to your playing style velocity, chord type, etc.
Effectively, it becomes more like playing with a band with flexibility rather than a rigid track.
Piano Room
Youll see a Piano Room button shaped like a grand piano. When activated, Piano Room mimics the room sound from various locations, including concert halls.
Smart Chord
Smart Chord is another interesting feature that allows you to trigger complex chords from one or more notes.
If you are a performer who wants to sound more interesting, its an easy way to turn basic triads into 7ths/9ths, etc.
Unison & Accent
This feature adds a new dimension of expression to your playing. It doubles the voice for melody lines and adds accents to target notes triggered by velocity.
Dual Mode
Built-in recorder
LCD screen

Adaptive Style Accompaniment That Automatically Adjusts To Your Playing Intensity
The DGX-670 is equipped with Adaptive Style, a function that automatically analyzes your playing in real time and arranges accompaniment to suit the mood of the music. Play with more intensity, and Adaptive Style ramps up the accompaniment switch to a mellower mood, and the Adaptive Style mellows out along with you. The accompaniment joins you wherever you are at any given time, giving every tune the thrilling feel of a live performance.
Song Recording And Playback
If you wanted to record your performances, the DGX-670 comes with a multi-track recorder, which is a big upgrade if youre coming from typical digital pianos that only include a 1- to 2-track recorder.
On the DGX-670, you can record up to 3 keyboard tracks, and also the style tracks which cover the accompaniment rhythms and instrumentals. Despite having 16 total tracks to work with, the styles and rhythms apparently occupy the remaining 13 slots, so you cant record your own custom parts.
The recordings are saved as MIDI, which enables you to modify the recordings after the fact, such as through muting and rerecording specific parts. You can then save the recorded songs onto an external USB drive for storage.
Since the DGX-670 comes with a score-view, you can also see your recordings in the form of a musical score. While this is novel, I can definitely imagine some cool use cases where a teacher shares custom scores with their students.
You can also bounce your songs out as audio , which is a nice feature if you dont want the hassle of connecting the DGX-670 to a DAW.
