High Tech Hits Home With the Yamaha DGX505

(Yamaha | Posted 2004-12-26)

The Yamaha DGX505 portable keyboard will brighten this holiday season—and many seasons to come—with features and functions designed to create and enjoy music. As the top of the line in Yamaha's Portable Grand series, the DGX505 comes complete with 88 weighted piano-style keys, a high resolution stereo piano sample, SmartMedia storage, USB computer connectivity, a large bitmapped LCD screen capable of displaying notation and song lyrics, a pitch bend wheel and a six-track sequencer that records with two button pushes. Wood side panels and a matching wooden stand will blend into virtually any interior environment.

The DGX505 has a large selection of onboard songs (including selections of the best and most popular of the day), and some of the best instrumental sounds available, including Yamaha's XG-lite/GM voices, a selection of their ultra realistic ''Cool,'' ''Live'' and ''Warm'' voices. A separate PC Button™ makes it simple and easy to connect to your computer. To aid in that connection, the new DGX series of Yamaha keyboards also feature USB MIDI connections for a true ''plug-and-play'' computer interface.

For those interested in learning to play, the upgraded, built-in Yamaha Education Suite 4™ teaching system includes exercises, interactive lessons, a grading system and 100 songs on which to practice and learn. Also included is the intuitive Easy Song Arranger, the Performance Assistant feature and more.
