Thank you, its a perfect feature as well for audiorecording and to correct it. Procedure is the same, except the quantize

First I want to say how good your videos are. You do a nice job presenting and cover all the details. I was a computer trainer in my past, I couldn't do it as well as you I'm sure.

This particular video that included the comments on quantizing the song turned out to be quite valuable for me. One of the things that really excited me about moving from the 660 to the 670 was the ability to correct individual tracks. But when I went to do it seldom did it actually work out well, due to some of the things that you pointed out that needs fixing by quantizing. When I was having my problems I called in to Yamaha support, send them some sample songs with the errors, and they did not come up with a way to fix it. Didn't even comment on quantizing. I have decided the feature was worthless.

What are the things that I have done that I think would be good to use along with everything you showed, was starting the playing of the song a few majors before you're going to record the repair. I think allows a person to get into the swing of the playing and possibly have fewer problems with variance in expression, i.e. hitting the keys differently from one time to the next period.

Hello Tony,

Bumped into this Portable Grand (beautiful name) by accident. Was looking at a Korg XE20 and this DGX-670 also popped up.

Wow, what an amazing machine! This time my points go to the Yamaha 😅

The display isn't just pretty but it displays the notes played and gives a nice overview while monochrome displays can be a bit busy.

Mind that the video (at least here) drops out in sound two or three short times, just saying.

Have fun with your "Portable Grand" 😃

Hi Tony. Another thorough and well presented video. Even though I haven't done much with my ew425 yet (I'm 76 and have had a few health problems), I'm still planning on getting the DGX-670 by the end of the year. Can't have too many keyboards. hahahaha Anyway, yeah, these videos are going to be an indispensable part of my learning experience with the DGX-670. Thanks for your work in putting out these very helpful vids. Cheers

Thanks you so much!! You are the best!!

Thanks again for explaining Quantize in a context that finally makes sense. Is there any other way to make other edits to the song and/or tracks. Can I transpose, change tempo, make single note edits or is Punch In/Out the only way?

Hello! Someone just told me about the new stand alone pedal unit! Yamaha FC35 3-Pedal Unit.

Can we add external speakers to DGX 670?
