Product review;
The design of the DGX-640 is one of precision and beauty. In addition to the beautiful wooden finish is the handy interface, which has a variety of buttons to help the user navigate the system. This Yamaha takes quite a divergence from other digital pianos, especially in that it has over 500 tones, so the number of different controls and labels give great assistance.
The speakers sit on opposite corners of the machine, having good size and being backed up by capable six-watt amplifiers.
The keybed has Yamahas patented hammer-action technology behind it, meaning that youll feel the weight and balance of real keys under your fingers, with the replicated hammer action of a real piano. The keys are also graded, meaning the keys to the left will be heavier, and those to right lighter.The DGX-640 is a full-size digital piano, with 88 keys at your disposal and 64 maximum notes of polyphony to work with.
The tones are generated using Yamahas Advanced Wave Memory Stereo Sampling technology, which makes all the tones come out crisp and clear. There are 535 total tones to work with, with 142 preset tones, 381 XGlite tones, and 12 Drum/SFX kits. This piano lets you take these tones and allow the producer side to come out of you, incorporating a full six-track recording and playback system. Once youre done laying your sweet tracks you can add any one of your 35 types of reverb effect, 44 types of chorus effect, or 238 types of Digital Signal Processor (DSP) effects. If youre still not satisfied you can mix down your track with the five types of Master EQ loaded onto the piano.
The DGX-640 also comes with pretty cool Performance Assistant Technology (P.A.T.), which allows you to set the key, arrange a live performance, and play a perfect song every time by correcting the notes. In addition to P.A.T. is the Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.), which uses different tools to teach you how to read and play the piano, using both left and right hands. I told you this thing had all the bells and whistles.
The piano comes with the customary metronome, transpose, dual/layer, and split functions. It also has a particularly large accompaniment and song selection, which allows the piano player to perform live arrangements using different music styles such as blues, bossa nova, jazz, and many other settings.
The music database contains over 165 different accompaniment styles and 30 preset songs. If you decide to record songs of your own youll have 1895 KB at your mercy.
Conclusion
The Yamaha DGX-640W is a wonderful machine, and is clearly not designed for the minimalist or purist piano player simply looking for a replicated experience on a digital platform. This piano will, however, whet the appetite of any producer or piano player looking for a wide range of sounds.
