as a keyboardist it's actually not bad at all..... the piano sounds and the eps are incredible.... It sounds way better than the 650 and I have the 650.... Hopefully I'll be purchasing this keyboard the 670 sometime this week

Really? All of this for some muted keys for drums, rain, helicopter and rollercoaster sound effects? That's the least of any pianist's concerns... I would totally still buy this awesome keyboard.

Well that’s 9 mins of my life I won’t get back.

You bring up good points. Thanks for the video!

So it turns out that there are most if not all of the old effect still on the 670, but they are obscured behind some hidden folders. I don't quite remember how I figured out how to access them, but I was able to get all the legacy effects and they worked as they did in the past (full keyboard with pitch shifting).

Well, In my opinion, it’s the best in the PortableGrand series!

In my opinion, if the DGX-770 or DGX-970 existed, it would probably have Organ Flutes too.

I bought this piano/arranger after having studied the specification and having read many reviews. It is a musical instrument that far exceeded my expectations for the price I paid for it. I never considered the whizzo effects like thunder or rain as I am ABRSM qualified and concerned only with the sound quality and performance. It has a tremendous capability with all the facilities it possesses and even produces CD quality WAV files once one has made a good recording on its 16 track sequencer. I absolutely love this device and totally recommend it for those who can't afford the many thousands to buy a much more expensive machine.

Not really a huge concern. I doubt I'll ever use the percussion or the accompaniment feature at all.

Minor issue to most but worth noting

I have the 660 and also upgraded to the 670 so I don’t have to take my board where I play every week. I totally agree, love the new board but the special effects sound locations is a real let down. Looking forward to an update as I have the same issue. It’s the only thing I can say is a real disappointment with this upgrade. Only one note for that particular special effect sound causes a huge problem especially when you have to hunt for it

I love this keyboard. The keybed feels great and because the cabinet is good quality, you don't get the knocking, thumping sound you hear on lightweight models of syths. A more heavier cabinet of good quality. The feel of the keys is important, and this gives you that acoustic piano feels. There are too many good features other than what you mention. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE SYTH SOUNDS IN THE MODX SERIES WITH THIS KEYBED AND CABINET. Otherwise, one needs to spend 4,000 dollars to get it all. Can you get sounds from the computer via the USB?

I agree, can you show your piano stand and the pedal please ?thank you

Stay tuned for the next Yamaha DGX model (probably Yamaha DGX-680) to come out most probably next month during the NAMM show.

Honestly, you're right, this is very frustrating. They should really fix the SFX. I have a 255-YPT Yamaha keyboard, and the sound effects were played by all notes. There is the main note, (C5 in my case) that has the original sound effect, and if you use the lower keys, they have the low audio sound effect, and if you used the higher keys, they have the high audio sound effect. So yes, I can see how this can be a problem, and YAMAHA should fix it.

I have a PSR where they legit printed icons above the keys for keyboard percussion. Can't get lost with the PSR-90, and there's no need for disgusting stickers. I guess they thought that the printed symbols were too unprofessional, but what other option is there?

I definitely do like having the sound be uniform across all keys, because then you can layer it, but you could probably also use pads. Only keyboards I recommend for that are from Kurzweil. If you're fine buying a toy, then you could get Casio Superdrums.

Seems fine for people who play music.

Hi! Exit from the drums and sfx  or ambient sound group, then test Piano's voice.

your « bad»points are good for me, more resource variations for experimental musicians and artists.

This was not designed to be a whiz-bang synth keyboard. Yamaha kb is in the genre of weighted digital piano WITH a ton of added features. I think adding too much is where they got thin on the execution.. but studio musicians will primarily use the core features and not worry too much about synth unless that is their area of expertise... like writing content for TV commercial gigs and the like... in that case they'd want some customizable sounds that can be easily imported, mixed and manipulated, again this is NOT the instrument to do such things as it's mainstay-- maybe a HIGH END casio, roland synth kb.

I've had mine about a year now.  The lights are the wrong way around;  Green for off and red for on, makes no sense!  Also, those lights are too bright/misplaced, I can't read the writing above those buttons.  And the menu system just sucks, not at all intuitive; wheel, cursor keys, enter, exit, number keys, tab... Jeez, what a mess! Screen should be twice the size for what it tries to display. But, I love it.  Keys feel great and the sounds are phenomenal.  If you don't have one, get one.  It's just got some annoying quirks.
