Special Features

Natural Piano Voice Page 23

The DGX-650 features an amazingly realistic piano Voice (“Natural! Grand Piano”; Voice 001) meticulously sampled from a concert grand piano—fantastic for playing not only classical compositions but also piano pieces in any style. No matter what instrument settings have been made, you can instantly call up the Piano Voice by simply pressing the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.

Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. 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 gives the DGX-650 remarkably authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

Amazingly Realistic and Dynamic Sounds Page 23

Yamaha’s authentic Voices (especially the highly acclaimed Live!, Sweet! and Cool! Voices) deliver incredibly natural and dynamic sound—with all the nuances of the original instrument, from delicate to powerful.

Setting Up

Play Along with Styles Page 28

The DGX-650 also has complete and fully automatic accompaniment features with the Styles. These Styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of genres—from waltz and swing to 8-beat and euro-trance, plus much more. Select a Style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new Styles to expand your musical horizons. And if it’s difficult to select the right Style from the huge variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play. Also, this instrument features a Smart Chord function, allowing you to simply press single keys, and yet play various chord progressions that authentically match the music genre and key you specify—giving you even greater enjoyment from the Styles!

Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 37

When you play back a Song, the corresponding score is 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 also appear in the score.

USB TO DEVICE Page 70

Connect a USB flash memory device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the instrument, and save or load registrations, and User Songs that you’ve created on the instrument, as well as read data from the device, such as MIDI files or Style files. Also, Audio files (.wav) stored to USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, you can record your performance as Audio data to a USB flash memory device. For more on Audio playing and recording, see pages 34 and 40.

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

CAUTION

Setting Up

Power Requirements

• Use the specified adaptor (page 81) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC

IN jack.

Plug the AC power adaptor into an AC

outlet.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms, to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur.

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

NOTE

• The sustain function does not affect the Split Voice (page 24).

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the supplied footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.

Damper Resonance

This function simulates the sustain sound produced with the damper pedal on a grand piano. If you want to use this function, select Voice 001 (page 23), then press the Footswitch. This function can be turned off via the FUNCTION display (page 68).

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external

Headphones

Any pair of stereo headphones with a standard stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. This setting can be changed so that speaker sound is always on regardless whether a plug is inserted or not (page 55).

External Audio Equipment

device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. If the instrument’s power is automatically turned off via the Auto Power Off function (page 20), first turn off the external device, then turn on the power to the instrument then the external device again.

• Do not route the output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to the AUX IN jack. If you make this connection, the signal input at the AUX IN jack is output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage both pieces of equipment.

NOTE

• Use audio cables and adaptor cables having no (zero) resistance.

Setting Up

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

Optimum setting

Output gain level for this jack is set to a value suitable for connecting headphones, as the default setting. You can switch this to the value suitable for connecting an external audio device. For details on how to switch the value, see page 55.

Keyboard Stand

LP-7A/7AWH (optional)

If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained.

If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained.

Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)

Setting Up

This jack is for connecting an optional LP-7A/LP7AWH pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the supplied keyboard stand.

NOTE

• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.

• This affects only Main/Dual Voices and Harmony sound (pages 23, 24 and 27).

Pedal Unit functions

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A “halfpedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal. When using both a footswitch and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority.

Damper Resonance

This function simulates the sustain sound produced with a damper pedal on a grand piano. This effect is added when the Damper pedal is pressed for Voice 001. You can turn this function on or off via the FUNCTION display (page 68).

DGX-650 Owner’s Manual

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a note or notes, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.

• Do not use the instrument at a high volume level for a long period of time, or your hearing may be damaged.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall volume of the instrument. Even when the volume is low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be clearly heard. For details, refer to page 56.

To set the time that elapses before Auto Power Off is executed:

Press the [FUNCTION] button, press the CATEGORY [r] or [f] button several times until “Auto Power Off” appears, then select the desired value by using the dial.

Settings: OFF, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 Default value: 30

• The recorded Song will be lost if the power is automatically turned off without executing the save operation. Make sure to save your recorded Song before the power turns off.

• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the specified period of time. Always turn off the power manually when the instrument is not in use.

• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period of time while connected to an external device such as an amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to the instrument and the connected devices, in order to protect the devices from damage.
