Well, not quitte, because the piano sound is actually
better than in the aforementioned keyboards.
It is the same CFX piano sample than in the Clavinova’s and in the Genos, with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM).
It also has a better inbuilt amplification system, as well as an integrated bidirectional USB audio interface. Basically, this means that you can connect the DGX to an iPad for instance, use it as a MIDI controller to control a synth app (e.g. Korg iM1 or whatever) on your iPad and have the audio output redirected to the DGX via USB. This also works the other way round: you can directly send the DGX audio output to your iPad or computer, for instance to record your performance in a DAW without needing an external digital audio interface. Very convenient.
Also, it is much more portable than the higher-end Clavinova’s
The only thing this DGX is missing is an arpeggiator. What, the very basic PSR E373 has a very nice one!
I think the DGX670 might be the ideal middle-range keyboard/digital piano for venues such as churches, clubs, restaurants and alike... that is to say, when they’ll open again after the lockdown of course.
