FEATURES
76 Keys for the advancing keyboard
student, or musicians wanting an extended keyboard
The DGX202 has professional features that include bass ports for enhanced
sound, 76 full-sized touch-sensitive keys, 32 notes of polyphony, Yamaha's
exclusive Advanced Wave Memory tone generation technology, and an icon-based
LCD display. It also features a pitch bend wheel, MIDI IN/OUT connectors and
is General MIDI (GM) and XG Lite compatible, critical for computer use.
Although the performance and features are professional, the DGX202 is still
easy to carry and can be battery operated. Other cutting-edge advances

Response, so that your playing can be as expressive as on an acoustic
instrument. A newly designed panel layout includes a blue backlit LCD and
panel lights, making the DGX202 look as good as it sounds. |
Portable Grand™
| Customers have always listed
the piano as the most important sound they were looking for in a portable
keyboard. The DGX202 is part of a new piano-focused series of instruments
from Yamaha called Portable Grand. In keeping with this piano focus, the
Yamaha DGX202 features a stereo-sampled piano voice and dynamic filtering;
technology previously reserved for more expensive keyboards. And playing
piano is fast and easy with Yamaha's Portable Grand function. One dedicated
button brings up a great sounding piano, stunningly rich and authentic in
its sound and exceptionally responsive to your playing touch, as well as
setting up the keyboard to play as a piano in full keyboard mode. On top of
all this, a wealth of special piano-only "Pianist" styles, like Piano Ballad
or Boogie Woogie for example, provide professional-sounding piano
accompaniment that changes chords automatically as you do, while you play a
piano melody on top! |
Features that are important for today - and tomorrow
| The DGX202 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. But the DGX202 isn't all about work and no play. There is a
complement of over 600 sounds to explore. Not only do you get full
compatibility with General MIDI (GM), you get hundreds of XG Lite Voices and
full MIDI control of voice and effects parameters like Reverb and Chorus,
which add an extra dimension of richness. In an effort to give the player
maximum flexibility, the DGX202 is capable of layer and split modes. Split
mode allows you to have two different sounds on the keyboard at the same
time, like piano on the right and bass on the left. That's when you really
appreciate the 76 keys. Layer mode allows you to combine two sounds across
the keyboard range. For example, you could play piano and strings at the
same time. With over 600 voices, the combinations are only limited by your
imagination. |

Yamaha Education Suite II™, a wonderful set of music training functions,

Music Database
| Yamaha Portable Keyboards
are famous for their ease of use. But, even when the keyboard is easy to
operate, how does the novice know which settings to make that are
appropriate for the song he wants to play? With Yamaha's remarkable new
Music Database, you simply choose from over 200 song titles in the database
and the entire keyboard will set itself up for that song. It couldn't be
easier. |
Sound Quality
- 2-Way Speaker System
Separate tweeters deliver high frequency sounds with clarity and precision
for more lifelike instrument voices.
- Bass Boost System
A special port on each speaker adds a powerful impact to bass sound
reproduction.
- Stereo (Not just 2 Speakers)
We all know that stereo sound adds realistic character and spatial depth.
But how can you tell if the portable keyboard you're looking to purchase
is stereo or not? With Yamaha, the answer is simple. All Yamaha Portable
Keyboards are true stereo.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Enhances sound quality with sophisticated digital effects like Reverb,
Chorus & Echo effects.

Keyboard Styles and the One Touch Setting
| The DGX202 comes with 135
built-in styles, waiting for you to play along with. It's just like having a
built-in band. Call up your favorite style of music like Rock, Big Band,
Gospel or Country, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the DGX202
will follow you through a piece of music, providing all of the drums, bass,
piano, guitar, horn and string parts for you. And to make it easy and
entertaining, when you select one of the styles, the One Touch Setting
function will automatically configure keyboard parameters, such as voice
selection and digital effects, to match that selected music style. For
example, for a Country style, the keyboard might select an acoustic guitar,
fiddle or steel guitar for the right-hand voice with appropriate effects..

32-Note Polyphony
| "Polyphony" is how many
notes a keyboard can reproduce simultaneously. As with many things, more is
often better. Some keyboards in this price range have 16, 24 or 28-note
Polyphony. The DGX202 has a full 32-note Polyphony allowing you to play
intricate instrumental arrangements and dense musical passages. |
Computer Connectivity
| Yamaha makes it easy to
connect the DGX202 to a computer with the new Computer function 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. All Yamaha keyboards have a special MIDI (Musical Instrument
Digital Interface) port on the back that let you connect your keyboard to a
computer (requires a MIDI Interface like the Yamaha
UX16 and music
software). Once connected, you can play your songs into the computer,
edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with
General MIDI (GM) compatibility, song data always plays back the correct
sounds. |
