DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner’s Manual
Special Features of the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525
Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard
(DGX-620/YPG-625 Only)
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 acous-
tic 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 DGX-620/YPG-625 to provide authentic touch in a light-
weight instrument.

Performance assistant technology

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.
And if you can’t play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply
by tapping one key.
All you need is
one finger!

Play a Variety of Instrument Voices
Page 15
With the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525, the instrument voice that sounds
when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of
an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for
piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole
new world of musical variety.

iment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.

Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
Page 33
When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the
display as the song plays. 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.
* No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song you are using with the score display func-
tion does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.
