Yamaha DGX-640 Portable Grand Piano Keyboard (Cherry)
The Yamaha DGX-640 Portable Grand Piano Keyboard delivers a wide range of quality pianos and other instruments, and its full size GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard gives it an authentic piano feel with the heaviest keys at the bottom of the keybed.
The DGX-640 provides the purist piano player with the convenience of a built-in arranger, sequencer recorder, DSP effects processor, music notation display and much more. The Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) is a set of built-in learning tools, making it easy for beginner and experienced musicians to improve their performance. All this and a built-in speaker / amplifier make the DGX-640 an ideal tool for stage performances, practice, rehearsals and more.
- Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) Keyboard with Matte Finish of Black Keys
- Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the instrument to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument. The matte finish of the black keys enhances the keyboard's luxurious appearance.
- Amazingly Realistic and Dynamic Sounds
- Yamaha's highly acclaimed Sweet! and Cool! Voices deliver incredibly natural and very dynamic sound. Use the Pitch Bend wheel and hear these Voices -especially the Sax and Trumpet - truly come alive.
- Live!, Cool! and Sweet! Voices
- A huge palette of acoustic and electronically amplified instrument sounds. A blend of long, stereo and multi-layered samples is used to fully capture the natural presence, resonance, expression and vibrato of the real instrument.
- Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
- 237 types of the DSP effect can be added to the Main and Dual Voices. These range from reverb-like ambience effects to distortion and other dynamic processing tools that let you enhance the sound, or completely transform it.
- Easy Song Arranger
- In addition to each song's default style, you can select any other style to play the song with the Easy Song Arranger feature. This means that you can play a song that is normally a ballad, for example, as a bossa nova, as a hip-hop tune, etc. You can create totally different arrangements by changing the style with which a song is played. You can also change the song's melody Voice and the keyboard Voice for a complete change of image.
- Performance Assistant Technology (P.A.T.)
- Play along with a song on the instrument's keyboard and produce a perfect performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do is play on the keyboard--alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the keyboard, for example--and you'll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with the music.
- Music Database plus External Files
- You want to play music in your favorite style, but you're not sure how to select the best Voice and style for the type of music you want to play... simply select the appropriate style from the Music Database. The panel settings will automatically be adjusted for the ideal combination of sounds and style! Furthermore, this instrument allows Music Database files transferred from a computer or stored on a USB flash memory device. These files can be used in the same way as the internal Music Database.
- USB-To-Device
- The USB-To-Device on the instrument allows you to connect USB memory devices such as flash drives or hard drives, enabling you to save or load registrations and user songs created on the instrument, as well as read data from the connected device such as MIDI files or style files.
- USB-To-Host
- Dive in and take advantage of the wide world of computer music software. Connections and setup are exceptionally easy, and you can play back your computer-recorded parts with different instrument sounds - all from a single instrument.
- Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
- When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the display. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If the song contains lyric and chord data, the lyrics and chords will also appear on the score display.
- Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.)
- Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.) is an advanced set of helpful learning tools built into the instrument, letting you teach yourself how to play and perform. Y.E.S. helps you master a song with easy lesson steps. Each lesson can be done in isolation with either your left hand or right hand, or both.
- Optional Three-Pedal Unit (LP-7A)
- The pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

Comments about Yamaha DGX-640 Portable Grand Piano Keyboard (Cherry):
I bought this item for my first piano class. First of all, the item is huge and heavy as it offers lots of functionality out of the box. The keyboards feel pretty much like a real grand piano (of course, you paid $10,000+ for a real piano, there has to be some sort of difference.) But there a lot of features that help you learn how to play piano step by step. Over all, great product.
Pros
- Easy To Understand
- Great Quality
Cons
- Poor Quality USB File
Best Uses
- Entertainment
Comments about Yamaha DGX-640 Portable Grand Piano Keyboard (Cherry):
I am in love with my DGX-640C. It was easy to set up and the sound quality is just amazing. I like exploring the endless voices and recording my own performances. However when I transfer the recorded songs onto my USB drive, the quality isn't all that good, which is my biggest complaint because I would like to have good quality piano sound without the white noise in the background and post it up so my friends can listen to them. Other than that, this portable grand piano is a good one, feels just like the real one and it is worth your money!
Pros
- Learning Suite
- MIDI
- Screen clarity
- Sheet Music on the screen
- The variety of sounds
Cons
- The sound of the piano
Best Uses
- Home Use

Comments about Yamaha DGX-640 Portable Grand Piano Keyboard (Cherry):
I am learning piano and I upgraded from a non-weighted Yamaha to the DGX640 and there is a slight sound difference but I can't tell if it was because my non-weighted one was faulty or if this one has bad sound. Other than that, I love the learning suite and the ability to add MIDI songs in there.
Pros
- Realistic Sound
- Responsive / Good Action
- Touch Sensitive Keys
Cons
Best Uses
- At home
- Learning
