PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical

shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)

only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or

overheating.

•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have

accumulated on it.

•Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll

anything over it.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.

Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the

outlet.

•Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or

heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is

easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off

the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or

rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the

internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the

power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes

of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume

controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• Do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel

or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

•Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

•Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Saving and backing up your data

The panel settings and some other types of data are not retained in memory when

you turn off the power to the instrument. Save data you want to keep to the

Registration Memory (page 85.)

Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.

Save important data to a USB storage device/or other external device such as a

computer. (pages 93, 104)

Backing up the USB storage device/external media

•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you

save your important data onto two USB storage devices/external media.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long

time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

This device is capable of using various types/formats of music data by optimizing them to the proper format music data for use with the

device in advance. As a result, this device may not play them back precisely as their producers or composers originally intended.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music

data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM

mark is afﬁxed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simpliﬁed version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone generation format.

Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that

some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control

parameters and effects.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and

open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle con-

taining lyric data is played.

STYLE FILE

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format which uses a unique conversion system to pro-

vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with

peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the com-

puter is on).

Special Features of the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525

Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard (DGX-620/YPG-625 Only)

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a

keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acous-

tic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive

to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This

Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-620/YPG-625 to provide authentic touch in a light-

weight instrument.

■Performance assistant technology Page 35

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.

And if you can’t play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply

by tapping one key.

All you need is

one ﬁnger!

■Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 15

With the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525, 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 24

Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.

The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band cov-

ering 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 exper-

iment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.

■Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 33

When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the

display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If

the song contains lyric and chord data*, the lyrics and chords will also appear

on the score display.

*No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song you are using with the score display func-

tion does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations

BEFORE turning on the power.

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the

instrument is set to STANDBY.

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D or other adaptor

speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the power

supply jack.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Make all necessary connections below

BEFORE turning the power on.

The instrument speakers are automatically shut off

when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/

OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You

can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard

ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other

line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output

signal to that device.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain

as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha

FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain

on and off.

Power Requirements

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adap-

tor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power your

instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may

result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the

instrument.

WARNING

•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,

or during electrical storms.

CAUTION

PA-5D AC outlet





Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long peri-

ods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be

damaging to your hearing.

WARNING

•To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external

devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to

observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment

damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their

minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while

playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

CAUTION

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS-

TAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this

changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed

footswitch operation.

Fun Sounds

This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can

use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet ﬂy-bys, eerie effects, and

much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.

◆Drum Kit Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 15)

Try out each key and enjoy the drum and percus-

sion sounds! Don’t forget the black keys! You’ll

hear a triangle, maracas, bongos, drums ... a

comprehensive variety of drum and percussion

sounds. For details on the instruments included

in the drum kit voices (voice numbers 128 to

1Press the [VOICE] button.

2Use the dial to select “139 SFX Kit 2”.

3Try out each key and enjoy the sound effects!

As you try out the various keys you’ll hear the sound of a

submarine, a telephone bell, a creaking door, and many

other useful effects. “138 SFX Kit 1” includes lightning,

running water, dogs barking, and others. Some keys do

not have assigned sound effects, and will therefore pro-

duce no sound.

For details on the instruments included in the SFX kit

voices, see “SFX Kit 1” and “SFX Kit 2” in the “Drum

Kit List” on page 129.

Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other

normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at

different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound

of a different drum or percussion instrument.

The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 138 and 139). When

either of these voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.

match chords you play with your left hand. You can select from 150 dif-

ferent styles covering a range of musical genres and time signatures

(see page 130 for a complete list of the available styles).

In this section we’ll learn how to use the auto accompaniment features.

Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords

Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.

In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord

sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different ﬁngerings of the same

chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge inﬂuence on the overall

feel of the music you play.

On page 24 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital

to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take

your accompaniments to a new level.

On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the

instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively

creating a complete song.

The Easy Way to Play Piano

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature

that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even

though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any

notes and still sound good! You could even just tap one key and the

results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you can’t play piano and

can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.

Performance assistant technology offers four selectable types. Select the type that produces the best results

for you.

● Chord ......................No matter where or what you play, the result will be musical, well-bal-

anced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom, allowing you to play

anything with both your left and right hands.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the

root, third, and ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad,

for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the

C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of the C major scale).

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the

chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for

the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and

anchors the other chord notes.

The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad

is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two addi-

tional chords, as shown below.

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create

different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by

choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).

● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord

(other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the

chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a

major or ﬂatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance.

● Some Chord Types (These are just some of the “Standard” chord types recognized by the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525.)

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

This instrument features 150 internal styles, but other styles, such as those provided on the CD-ROM and

others that can be obtained from the internet (only styles with the “.sty” sufﬁx), can be loaded into style

number 151 and used in the same way as the internal styles. For details on loading the style ﬁle, see “Load-

ing User Files and Style Files” on page 95.

In order to load a style ﬁle it is necessary to ﬁrst either transfer the style ﬁle to the instrument from a com-

puter, or connect a USB ﬂash memory containing the style ﬁle to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to

“Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer” on page 100 for details on the ﬁle transfer proce-

dure. If you use a USB ﬂash memory refer to “Loading User Files and Style Files” on page 95.

In “Play Along with a Style” on page 24 we described a method of playing styles in which chords were

detected only to the left of the keyboard split point. By making the settings described below, however,

chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even

more dynamic style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 28) can be

detected.

Using USB Flash Memory

USB ﬂash memory is a memory medium used for storing data.

When a USB ﬂash memory is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal,

user songs created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or

loaded from the memory medium. USB ﬂash memory can also be used to transfer song

data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the per-

formance assistant technology (page 35) and Lesson (page 47) features described in

the Quick Guide. Furthermore, user songs saved to USB ﬂash memory in MIDI ﬁle for-

mat can also be used with these features.

In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB ﬂash

memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.

Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal” sec-

tion on page 99. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to a

USB Storage Device” on page 97.

If you don’t have a USB ﬂash memory, you will need to purchase one (or more, as

needed).

The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage

devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.

Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an

authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.

USB Flash Memory

●To protect your data (write-protect switch)

Some USB ﬂash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental era-

sure of important data saved in USB ﬂash memory, slide the write-protect switch on the device to the

“protect” position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the “overwrite”

position.

Troubleshooting

■For the Instrument

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping

sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical

power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may pro-

duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it

further away from the instrument.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is

played or when a song or style is being played

back.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on

the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack,

no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 100.)

Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard,

etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is

showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard

does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 82), the keys in the right

hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The style or song does not play back when the

[START/STOP] button is pressed. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF;

refer to “External Clock” on page 100.

The style does not sound properly.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 88) is set to an appropriate

level.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are play-

ing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 77).

Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing

press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the

[START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting

style number 121 or a style between 133 and 150

(Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 121 and style numbers 133–

150 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other

parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment

range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound

seems to be cut off.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the

Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing

back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “sto-

len”) from the accompaniment or song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the

opposite effect. For example, pressing the foot-

switch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains

the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the foot-

switch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning

on the power.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple

recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the key-

board; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different

from note to note.

The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or

there are Japanese characters in the display mes-

sages. Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to

English. (See page 14)

Appendix

DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner’s Manual 113

Troubleshooting

The appropriate display does not appear when the

[SONG], [EASY SONG ARRANGER], [STYLE], or

[VOICE] button is pressed. Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return

to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons.

The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is

played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

The ACMP indicator does not appear when the

[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when

you are going to use any style-related function.

There is no harmony sound.

The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their

type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are

played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is

played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether

style playback is on or off. For types 06–12 you need to play two

notes at the same time.

Voice List

■Maximum Polyphony ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means

that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regard-

less of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a

number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment

is used the total number of available notes for playing on the

keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the

Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is

exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most

recent notes have priority (last note priority).

●Panel Voice List

•The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for

each voice. Use these program change numbers when

playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device.

• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Pro-

gram Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Num-

bers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.

Remember to take this into consideration.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long

decay after the notes have been released while the sus-

tain pedal (footswitch) is held.

•“ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

•The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example,

in “128: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

•Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.

•Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are

designed to be played alternately with each other.)

Effect Type List

● Harmony Types

● Reverb Types

● Chorus Types

No. Harmony Type Description

01 Duet Harmony types 01–05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the sin-

gle-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the

auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing

songs that contain chord data.

02 Trio

03 Block

04 Country

05 Octave

06 Trill 1/4 note Types 6–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in

time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompani-

ment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo set-

ting (page 46). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect

precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets,

1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets.

• The Trill effect Types (06–12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two

notes are held.

• The Tremolo effect Types (13–19) repeat all held notes (up to four).

• The Echo effect Types (20–26) create delayed repeats of each note played.

07 Trill 1/6 note

08 Trill 1/8 note

09 Trill 1/12 note

10 Trill 1/16 note

11 Trill 1/24 note

12 Trill 1/32 note

13 Tremolo 1/4 note

14 Tremolo 1/6 note

15 Tremolo 1/8 note

16 Tremolo 1/12 note

17 Tremolo 1/16 note

18 Tremolo 1/24 note

19 Tremolo 1/32 note

20 Echo 1/4 note

21 Echo 1/6 note

22 Echo 1/8 note

23 Echo 1/12 note

24 Echo 1/16 note

25 Echo 1/24 note

26 Echo 1/32 note

No. Reverb Type Description

01–03 Hall 1–3 Concert hall reverb.

04–05 Room 1–2 Small room reverb.

06–07 Stage 1–2 Reverb for solo instruments.

08–09 Plate 1–2 Simulated steel plate reverb.

10 Off No effect.

No. Chorus Type Description

01–02 Chorus 1–2 Conventional chorus program with rich, warm chorusing.

03–04 Flanger 1–2 Pronounced three-phase modulation with a slight metallic sound.
