Special Features of the DGX-220/YPG-225

■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices		Page 14

The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, ﬂute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.

■ Play Along with Styles

Page 19

Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles. The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.

■ Performance assistant technology

Page 29

Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with the music.

■ Learning Music is Fun

Page 36

This instrument includes a range of songs covering a variety of genres that are enjoyable to listen to, or to play along with. You can start practicing with just one hand, and you can even practice at your own tempo, one note at a time as slowly as you like, until you are able to play at full speed. Song playback will automatically follow your tempo. You can also use songs you have downloaded from the Internet for lessons, so your musical resources are essentially unlimited! The instrument will even evaluate and grade your performance for you!
