Yamaha DGX660B Overview
The black DGX-660 from Yamaha is an 88-key digital piano that features sounds based on samples from the company’s CFIIIS 9′ concert grand piano, a weighted keyboard with varying touch response across the key range, and Damper-Response DSP. To add to the genuine playing experience, the keyboard also provides 192-note polyphony that will easily accommodate two-handed sustained chords with heavy pedaling.
A built-in microphone jack allows the performer to sing along while playing and monitor the results with vocal effects via the built-in amplifiers and speakers. Also included is the Yamaha “You are the Artist” library for learning hit songs using the best-selling sheet music, or by reading the scrolling notes on the built-in Score Display.
Pure CF Sound Engine faithfully reproduces the tone of a meticulously sampled Yamaha 9′ CFIIIS concert grand piano, allowing for dynamic and expressive playing
Just like an acoustic piano, the GHS weighted action is heavier in the low end and lighter in the high end
Special matte-black key tops are designed to absorb moisture, remaining tactile after extended use without becoming slippery
Score Display puts the music notation of MIDI songs onto the screen of the instrument, for playing the songs by following the bouncing ball

192-note polyphony provides enough horsepower for dropout-free performances even while layering two voices, and playing two-handed sustained chords with heavy pedaling
