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:

Power supply/AC adaptor

Connections

• 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.

• 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.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• 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.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

Handling caution
Assembly

• 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. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the
instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.

• 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.

Location
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.
Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in
other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, 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. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the
provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal
components or result in the instrument falling over.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

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

] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

Compatible Format
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.
XF
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 containing lyric data is played.
Style File Format Guitar Edition
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord
types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note
transposition for guitar tracks.
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.

Special Features
Amazingly Authentic Piano Sound and “Piano Room” Performance Controls
Page 27, 25

The DGX-660 features an authentically expressive piano Voice (“Natural! Grand Piano”; Voice 001) meticulously
sampled from a concert grand piano—perfect for playing not only classical compositions but also piano pieces in
any style. No matter what instrument settings have been made, you can instantly call up the Piano Voice by simply
pressing and holding the [PIANO ROOM] button.
In addition, the instrument has a special Piano Room feature that provides even greater piano performance enjoyment with highly intuitive control. Piano Room lets you select the desired piano type as well as different room
ambiences, giving you a complete, realistic piano experience—as if you were playing a real piano.

Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard
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 acoustic 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 gives the DGX-660
remarkably authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

Amazingly Realistic and Dynamic Sounds

Page 27

Yamaha’s authentic Voices (especially the highly acclaimed Live!, Sweet! and Cool! Voices) deliver incredibly
natural and dynamic sound—with all the nuances of the original instrument, from delicate to powerful.

The DGX-660 also has complete and fully automatic accompaniment features with the Styles. These Styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of genres—from waltz and swing to 8-beat and
euro-trance, plus much more. Select a Style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new
Styles to expand your musical horizons. And if it’s difficult to select the right Style from the huge variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm
you play. Also, this instrument features a Smart Chord function, allowing you to simply press single keys, and yet
play various chord progressions that authentically match the music genre and key you specify—giving you even
greater enjoyment from the Styles!

Easy Performance with Music Notation Display

Page 41

When you play back a Song, the corresponding score is shown on the display. This is a great way to learn how to
read music. If the Song contains lyric and chord data, the lyrics and chords also appear in the score.

Connect a Microphone and Sing Along with Your Own Performance

Page 69

Simply connect a microphone to the DGX-660, sing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback—and hear everything mixed perfectly together from the instrument’s speakers. Three convenient preset settings are provided for different vocal performance preferences and situations, and you can even make and save
your own original microphone settings.

Setting the Volume
CAUTION

Setting Up

To adjust the volume level of the entire keyboard
sound, use the MASTER VOLUME control located at
the left of the panel. Play the keyboard to actually produce sound while you adjusting the volume to the
desired level.

• Do not use 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.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)
IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and
controls the sound quality according to the overall
volume of the instrument. Even when the volume is
low, it permits both low sounds and high sounds to be
clearly heard. For details, refer to page 59.

Auto Power Off Function
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
instrument features an Auto Power Off function that
automatically turns the power off if the instrument is
not operated for a specified period of time. The
amount of time that will elapse before the power is
automatically turned off is set by default to 30 minutes.
To disable the Auto Power Off function:
Turn off the power, then press the [ ] (Standby/On)
switch to turn on the power while holding down the
lowest key. Make sure to hold down lowest key until a
message appears at the top left of the display after
pressing the power switch.

To set the time that elapses before Auto Power Off
is executed:
Press the [FUNCTION] button, press the CATEGORY [r] or [f] button several times until “Auto
Power Off” appears, then select the desired value by
using the dial.
Settings: OFF, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 (min.)
Default value: 30 min.
NOTICE
• The recorded Song will be lost if the power is automatically
turned off without executing the save operation. Make sure
to save your recorded Song before the power turns off.
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not
turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the specified
period of time. Always turn off the power manually when
the instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period
of time while connected to an external device such as an
amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to
the instrument and the connected devices, in order to protect the devices from damage. If you do not want the
power to turn off automatically when a device is connected, disable Auto Power Off.

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)
Setting Up

CAUTION
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also,
before turning any components on or off, make sure to set
all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to
the components, electrical shock, or even permanent
hearing loss may occur.

Headphones
Any pair of stereo headphones with a standard stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack. This setting can
be changed so that speaker sound is always on regardless whether a plug is inserted or not (page 58).
External Audio Equipment

CAUTION
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

NOTICE
• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off. If the instrument’s power is automatically turned
off via the Auto Power Off function (page 19), first turn off
the external device, then turn on the power to the instrument then the external device again.

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.
Optimum setting
Output gain level for this jack is set to a value suitable

DGX-660 Owner’s Manual

• Do not route the output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to
the AUX IN jack. If you make this connection, the signal
input at the AUX IN jack is output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack. These connections could result in a feedback
loop that will make normal performance impossible, and
may even damage both pieces of equipment.
NOTE

• Use audio cables and adaptor cables having no (zero) resistance.

Setting Up

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the supplied footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.
An FC3A foot pedal or FC4A or FC5 footswitch (sold
separately) can also be connected to this jack. The
FC3A lets you use the Half Pedal function (page 22).

Press the [FUNCTION] button, press the CATEGORY [r] or [f] button repeatedly until “Assignable Pedal” appears, then select the desired setting by
using the dial.
SUSTAIN

• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnecting a footswitch or a foot pedal.

PORTAMENTO

• The sustain function does not affect the Split Voice (page 28).

Damper Resonance
This function simulates the sustain sound produced
with the damper pedal on a grand piano. If you want
to use this function, select a voice in the “Target Voice
List” below, then press the footswitch. This function
can be turned off via the FUNCTION display (page
74). For information on how to select a Voice, see

Grand Piano (XG)”, which would not
sound appropriately with this function.
• This affects only Main/Dual Voices and the
Harmony sound (pages 27, 28 and 31),
and has no effect on the Split Voices
(page 28).

MIC ON/OFF

Turns the microphone sound on or off (page
71).

START/STOP

Same as the [START/STOP] button (pages
33, 39).

TAP TEMPO

When Style and Song are stopped, tapping
the pedal at the desired tempo—four times for
time signatures in 4 (4/4, etc.), and three
times for time signatures in 3 (3/4, etc.) starts
playback of the rhythm part of the Style or the
Song at the tempo you tapped the pedal. During playback of a Style or Song, you can
change the tempo by tapping the pedal twice
at the desired tempo.

Target Voice List
Voice No.

Allows you to use a pedal to control sustain.
When you press and hold the pedal, all notes
played on the keyboard have a longer sustain.
The portamento effect (a smooth slide
between notes) can be produced while the
pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced
when notes are played legato style (i.e., a
note is played while the preceding note is still
held). The portamento time can also be
adjusted in the Function “Portamento Time”
(page 74).

NOTE

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

Setting Up

Assigning specific functions to the pedal
The function of the footswitch or the foot pedal connected to SUSTAIN jack can be changed from its
default setting (Sustain).

NOTE

• This effect is applied only to a Voice in the “Target Voice List”
selected as the Main Voice or used in Track 1 (page 68) of the
Song.

Setting Up

Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)
Setting Up

This jack is for connecting an LP-7A/LP-7AWH pedal
unit (sold separately). When connecting the pedal
unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the supplied keyboard stand.
NOTE

• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit.
• This affects only Main/Dual Voices and Harmony sound
(pages 27, 28 and 31).
• The functions of the pedals of the pedal unit cannot be
changed.

Half Pedal function
(for FC3A and LP-7A/LP-7AWH)
This function allows you to vary the sustain length
depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther
you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For
example, if you press the damper pedal and the notes
you play sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the
sustain (murkiness).

LP-7A/7AWH
(sold separately)

Keyboard
Stand

Pedal Unit functions
Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. This
pedal lets you use the Damper Resonance (page 21) and Half
Pedal (see above) functions. When using both a footswitch
and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had
been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be
sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a note or notes, for
example, while other notes are played “staccato.”
Soft Pedal (Left)
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the
timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft
pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is
pressed.

22

DGX-660 Owner’s Manual

If you press and hold the
damper pedal here, all the
notes shown will be sustained.

If you press and hold the
sostenuto pedal here, only
the notes held at this timing
will be sustained.

Recording Your Performance
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• Song recording (MIDI recording)
With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument as a User Song, in SMF (format 0) MIDI
file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also if you want
to record your performance to each track one by one, execute “Recording to a Specified Track” of the Song
recording method. Since a User Song can be converted to an Audio file after recording (page 85), you may want to
use Song recording (with individual track recording) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio file. Up to approximately 30,000 notes can be recorded for
one User Song.

• Audio recording (page 49)

Basic Guide

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution
(44.1kHz/16bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer.
This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

Basic Guide

With Song Recording, you can create a Song consisting of six tracks (1–5 and A) by recording your performance to each track one by one. In recording a
piano piece, for example, you can record the righthand part to Track 1 then record the left-hand part to
Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which
may be difficult to play live with both hands together.
To record a performance with Style playback, for
example, record the Style playback to Track A, then
record melodies to Track 1 while listening to the
already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can
create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.

Appendix

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.

The power is automatically turned off.

This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set
the parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 19).

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further
away from the instrument.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or
headphones when using the instrument with an
iPhone/iPad application.

When you use the instrument along with an iPhone/iPad application, we
recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in
order to avoid noise caused by communication.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is
played or when a Style or Song is being played
back.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the
rear panel. When a plug is connected to this jack, no sound is output.
Check the Local Control on/off setting (“Local”). (See page 74.)
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 65), 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 74.

The Style does not sound properly.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) is set to an appropriate level.
Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 64).
Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press
the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

Appendix
88

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/
STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 174 or a style between 188–205 (Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 174 and style numbers 188–205
(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 the ACMP is turned on.

Not all simultaneously played notes sound.

You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 90) of the
instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest
played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains
the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch
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 keyboard; thus,
the actual sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note.

The appropriate display does not appear when the
[SONG/AUDIO], [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 ACMP indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any
Style-related function.

The “Over Current” message is shown in the upper
left area of the MAIN display and the USB device
does not respond.

Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of
the overcurrent to the USB device. Disconnect the device from the USB
TO DEVICE terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument.

The Headphone sound is too low.

Make sure the parameter of “Output Gain” is set to “Headphones” (page
58).
