Product Description

If you're looking for a reasonably priced piano replacement, look no further than the DGX-230. It is the music student or professional musicians answer to I need more keys! and many music teachers encourage new students to get a keyboard that will grow with their needs. It features 76 non-weighted keys that not only look like piano keys but have a Graded Soft Touch (GST) action with different levels of resistance, making it easier for a budding musician to move to an acoustic or digital piano. The DGX-230 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The DGX-230 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it. The DGX230 has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. Imagine capturing your childs first performance or writing and recording your own songs. With the DGX-230, you have the equivalent of a built-in multi-track recorder to record one or multiple instrument parts at a time and assign each part to a different track. Six tracks are provided to accommodate sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment and rhythm parts. The DGX-230 comes with 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on an included CD-ROM and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them. In addition, you have the ability to connect to a computer via USB, download more songs from the Internet into the internal Flash ROM (PC only), and use all of the Yamaha Education Suite features to help you learn to play them. Yamaha makes it easy to get connected with the new PC button. Now, instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and your computer. In addition, once connected, you can play your songs into the computer (PC and Mac), edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back with the correct sounds. Master EQ: Tailor your sound Five different master equalizer (EQ) settings are provided to give you the best possible sound when listening through different reproduction systems—the instruments internal speakers, headphones, or an external speaker system. You're in control.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive paying separately for options, June 2, 2011

This review is from: Yamaha DGX230 76 Full-Sized Piano Style Keys, 489 Instrument Voices (Electronics)
Save yourself $40 or more and buy the whole package from Costco for $180. It's silly that Amazon makes you pay separately for the power supply, headphones, stand, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent inexpensive instrument, January 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Yamaha DGX230 76 Full-Sized Piano Style Keys, 489 Instrument Voices (Electronics)
I now own two these. One I leave at my band's practice site, the other I keep at home and then take with me for performances. At $200 there's no sense hauling the practice instrument back and forth. Of course, it's not a professional keyboard and will rate sneers from real keyboardists. But for my purposes providing chording and some embellishments for a couple of local bands, it works just fine . . . especially great sound for the "rock organ" setting . . . and I also use the violin voice for country songs and the various saxophone voices on occasion. I have no idea about the other features of the keyboard as a learning device . . . but for an inexpensive, good-sounding, sturdy and dependable keyboard, it's great.

3.0 out of 5 stars No AC adapter included, and what is the difference between this and the YPG235?, October 13, 2010

I have no problem with the keyboard itself. I have a big problem with the product marketing and out of box experience.

What is the difference between this model and the YPG-235? I spent 60 minutes on the internet including Yamaha's terrible website and still have no idea. It feels like the YPG DBX line are about the same, and the have THE EXACT SAME MANUAL. Is one or the other the newer model? Are they both still supported? This one costs a little more, what am I getting for the money?

This model comes without an AC adapter. WTF? Is there really someone out there that wants to run this solely off battery power? I unboxed this with my son and we had to just stand there and look at it for 2 days while I waited for an adapter in the mail (not to mention paying an extra $20 for a $1 item). Here's a hint Yamaha, Apple would never ship a product that didn't work out of the box. WWSJD? Include an AC adapter.

Lastly - I also bought the stand... Read more
