Buy Yamaha DGX-205 76-Key Portable Keyboard with MIDI and Built-In Song Sequencer


This was my first keyboard. I have since moved on to the PSR1500 Workstation and the Hammond. This is a great keyboard for beginners with a bit extra more money. The piano is superb. Pump it through a tube amp and it sounds even better. The theater organ patch is quite powerful, I use it for old style playing when there isn't a Hammond to be found. I have three minor issues with this keyboard:

1. The keys are a little stiff for my taste. They aren't springy enough.

2. The DSP effects are limited, to say the least. It has the usual chorus, reverb, flanger and phaser. But it could benefit from a few extra effects (like tremolo/rotary speaker, distortion, etc).

3. No modulation wheel. No way to control vibrato, if any at all.

Despite these limitations the keyboard is great for beginners who just want a lot of sounds and no fancy, confusing menus.Get more detail about Yamaha DGX-205 76-Key Portable Keyboard with MIDI and Built-In Song Sequencer.
