If you're looking for a reasonably priced piano replacement, look no further than the DGX-230. It is the music student or professional musicians answer to I need more keys! and many music teachers encourage new students to get a keyboard that will grow with their needs. It features 76 non-weighted keys that not only look like piano keys but have a Graded Soft Touch (GST) action with different levels of resistance, making it easier for a budding musician to move to an acoustic or digital piano. The DGX-230 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The DGX-230 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it. The DGX230 has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. Imagine capturing your childs first performance or writing and recording your own songs. With the DGX-230, you have the equivalent of a built-in multi-track recorder to record one or multiple instrument parts at a time and assign each part to a different track. Six tracks are provided to accommodate sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment and rhythm parts. The DGX-230 comes with 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on an included CD-ROM and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them. In addition, you have the ability to connect to a computer via USB, download more songs from the Internet into the internal Flash ROM (PC only), and use all of the Yamaha Education Suite features to help you learn to play them. Yamaha makes it easy to get connected with the new PC button. Now, instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and your computer. In addition, once connected, you can play your songs into the computer (PC and Mac), edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back with the correct sounds. Master EQ: Tailor your sound Five different master equalizer (EQ) settings are provided to give you the best possible sound when listening through different reproduction systems—the instruments internal speakers, headphones, or an external speaker system. You're in control. Included Accessories: Yamaha Power Supply, Keyboard Stand and Professional Closed Cup Stereo Headphones.

Yamaha CVP509 Clavinova Digital Piano Review

!±8± Yamaha CVP509 Clavinova Digital Piano Review

When sitting down to play the Yamaha CVP509 Clavinova Digital Piano you immediately know it is something special. Yamaha's top of the range CVP Clavinova (barring the CGP1000 and CVP409 GP) the CVP509 offers the player everything they could possibly ask for in terms of playability, features and aesthetics.

Yamaha's reputation is rock solid but in recent years some people have felt that you occasionally pay a little bit too much for the name. Over the last year I feel Yamaha out an excellent range together with perfect price points. For the money (the Yamaha CVP509 Polished Ebony version sells online for around £5158.40) you get an array of sounds, complex recording features and possibly the nicest piano sound and touch I have ever seen on a digital piano.

The actual keyboard uses synthetic ivory keytops and real wood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction that lets you play easily. This makes the piano experience very realistic and similar to playing an acoustic piano.

When you play an expensive acoustic piano, you can vary not only the volume of sound, but also the expressiveness: lively, gentle, and so on. Thanks to AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling, you get the same response from the Yamaha CVP509. This is achieved by sampling sounds at more than 10 different levels of keystroke strength. From these, three to five levels are carefully selected, depending on the model chosen, to offer more detailed tonal variations. As you play, the Clavinova reproduces subtle differences in nuance according to your touch, ranging from pianissimo to fortissimo. To create the piano sample Yamaha used their CFIIIS full concert grand piano which was tuned to the highest possible condition. They then used Yamaha's unique Pure CF Sampling technique to sample all of its sounds, in order to create the CVP509 Clavinova Digital Piano sound. As a result, you enjoy the same natural tonal response as a top-quality piano.

This model uses Yamaha's super articulation technology. This is mainly used on the Clavinova's woodwind sounds. Basically Super Articulation allows the player to accurately play instruments the way they would sound acoustically. For example when playing one of the piano's saxophone sounds you can bend or slide notes, to "join" different notes together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note. This technology means that if you were to go from a certain note to another you can actually hear the holes of the instrument closing as you would on the real instrument. This is seriously impressive and makes for an exceptional playing experience. In my opinion this makes the CVP509 the perfect balance between the Tyros and a pure piano product taking features from both kinds of instrument and combining them.

Megavoices are used on the piano to create stunningly realistic sounds. For me this is best shown on the Clavinova's classical guitar sample. Players will hear open and mute string sounds, dead notes, hammering effects, slide effects, harmonics and a wide range of strum and body noises. Put simply Megavoices actually mirror the instruments behavior and react accordingly.

The piano uses instruments active field control (IAFC) which is sophisticated technology outputs sound picked up by built-in microphones together with the Clavinova's internal sound through rear speakers, making automatic adjustments to create a richer sound that best matches the acoustic characteristics of the room you're playing in. It also uses signal processing to reproduce an authentic damper effect. When the damper pedal is pressed, it delivers discretely sampled overtones, harmonics and resonance to recreate the warm and spacious sound.

Recording your music is a breeze with USB Audio input and MP3 Playback. Simply plug in a mic and enjoy recording your voice over the piano sound. All the usual elements of a Yamaha Clavinova are on the CVP509 including a LAN port for easy access to the web where you will find a host of helpful features, new sounds etc on the Yamaha site. The piano comes with the matching Yamaha stool, my only gripe here is that this stool is not adjustable, however this would probably add a lot of money to the cost which personally I would rather spend on the piano itself. The display uses a nice big bright 7.5" screen which clearly shows scores, instrument choices and all the other features. I found that even under bright lighting condition the screen did not glare which is always a bonus.

To sum up, the Yamaha CVP509 Clavinova Digital Piano is an excellent choice and well worth the obvious investment. I cannot really fault the product at all as it ticks all the boxes for me not only in terms of it's piano sounds and playability but also the host of other options that are built in. Simple to use you can be making superb and realistic sounding pieces in no time at all.
