A couple days ago I made a deal with a friend of wife Eva, selling my Yamaha P-115 to her for 300 Euros. Her husband came yesterday evening, paid me for it and took it and its wooden stand with him. I don’t think his wife was with him.
The evening I made the deal, Eva ordered my new keyboard, a Yamaha DGX-670, and after a hard battle with various websites, ordered the cover for it yesterday. The cover is already here, it arrived this morning, and the keyboard is expected to be delivered tomorrow or Thursday.
This keyboard is quite similar in operation to the PSR-3000 I used to own, so I’m very excited that I can make some music, albeit without built-in vocal harmonies, and will no doubt reawaken my desire to be creative again. For a long time I felt burned out, and the P-115 just wasn’t doing it for me. AT the time I bought that piano, it was the only one I’d heard of that was accessible. The DGX, being very similar to the PSR, isn’t totally accessible, but much more so than a keyboard with the dreaded touch screen would be.
I’m like a kid at Christmas! I haven’t felt this pumped about something in a long time!
Yes, you told me in a previous comment.
I played with a dgx 650 and 660 before
Mine has a built-in audio interface as well, but I won’t be using it, far too visual.
Very offtopic but I still have this roland juno ds and this is so much visually controled that I probably have never realised in the 6 years I had it that this thing is pretty awesome. But well, for sighted that is… Still frustrated about my yamaha p125 being a 125 a and not normal 125, which comes with a build in audio interface.
That’s a good goal and a wonderful keyboard!
I want to get a dgx670 at some point.
Update, I’m finally learning how to navigate files and folders. Once I get really familiar with how things are done, backing out of folders and such, then I’ll be ready to do my own songs, I think, I hope.
nice
Very nice.
A slight update, both the middle and left pedals do various things on the super articulation voices.
I played with almost every Yamaha dgx models
I understand that the left pedal on the 3-pedal unit does some super articulation functions so maybe at least some of that will be accessible for real-time playing.
Another update, the keyboard is to arrive tomorrow. I must say I’m relieved!
Well, I got the stand and the pedal.
If it’s like the PSR-3000 they’re hard to play. Kinda fun listening to demos of them being played by someone who knows all the secrets.
Sadly, I won’t be getting the keyboard for quite awhile. The stand and pedal are coming today but the keyboard is being delayed as the package is too long or something. I must admit to quite some frustration at this point.
Woooow! You gotta tell me how the super articulation voices feel to play. Like with the Guitar, you would get the slides and everything as you play.
