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:

• 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.

• 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.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for

extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

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.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Compatible Format

GM System Level 1

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

ble 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.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater function-

ality 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 conver-

sion 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 genera-

tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. How-

ever, 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.

DGX-660 Owner’s Manual 11

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 enjoy-

ment 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.

Play Along with Styles Page 32

The DGX-660 also has complete and fully automatic accompaniment features with the Styles. These Styles pro-

vide 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 avail-

able, 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 play-

back—and hear everything mixed perfectly together from the instrument’s speakers. Three convenient preset set-

tings are provided for different vocal performance preferences and situations, and you can even make and save

your own original microphone settings.

Setting the Volume

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 pro-

duce sound while you adjusting the volume to the

desired level.

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 min-

utes.

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 CATE-

GORY [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.

• 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.

CAUTION

• 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 pro-

tect the devices from damage. If you do not want the

power to turn off automatically when a device is con-

nected, disable Auto Power Off.

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

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 regard-

less whether a plug is inserted or not (page 58).

External Audio Equipment

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an

external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-

PUT 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

for connecting headphones, as the default setting. You

can switch this to the value suitable for connecting an

external audio device. For details on how to switch the

value, see page 58.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-

ponents, 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.

• 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.

• 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 instru-

ment then the external device again.

• 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/OUT-

PUT jack. These connections could result in a feedback

loop that will make normal performance impossible, and

may even damage both pieces of equipment.

• Use audio cables and adaptor cables having no (zero) resis-

tance.

played on the keyboard have a longer sustain.

PORTAMENTO

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).

MIC ON/OFF Turns the microphone sound on or off (page

71).

33, 39).

TAP T E M PO

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. Dur-

ing playback of a Style or Song, you can

change the tempo by tapping the pedal twice

at the desired tempo.

• This function does not affect the Voice 001

Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)

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 sup-

plied keyboard stand.

• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnect-

ing 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 sus-

tain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the

sustain (murkiness).

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 sos-

tenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sus-

tain 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.

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.

automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra — even if you’re playing by

yourself.

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 other-

wise 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)

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done with-

out 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.

You can record up to five of your performances and

save them as User Song 101 through 105. This opera-

tion is for recording a new Song from scratch. If you

want to re-record a specific track, execute “Recording

to a Specified Track” on page 46.

1Press the [SONG/AUDIO] button once or

twice to call up the SONG SELECT dis-

play for Song recording.

If a USB flash drive is connected, pressing the

[SONG/AUDIO] button repeatedly toggles

between two displays: SONG SELECT and

AUDIO SELECT. If a USB flash drive is not con-

nected, this operation calls up only SONG

SELECT display.

You can select the desired User Song with the dial.

2If you want to record with a Style, press

the [STYLE] button then the [ACMP ON/

OFF] button to turn ACMP on.

Once you have set the ACMP to ON, don’t call up

the SONG SELECT or AUDIO SELECT display

because doing so will set the ACMP to OFF.

3Press the [REC] button to enable record-

ing.

If a User Song was not selected beforehand, this

operation selects the lowest-numbered unrecorded

User Song (from 101–105) as the Recording tar-

get.

To cancel recording, press the [REC] button or

[EXIT] button.

With Song Recording, you can create a Song consist-

ing of six tracks (1–5 and A) by recording your per-

formance to each track one by one. In recording a

piano piece, for example, you can record the right-

hand 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 diffi-

cult, or even impossible, to play live.

Tracks [1]–[5] For recording your keyboard perfor-

mances, such as a piano piece.

Track [A] For recording Style playback.

1If you want to re-record an existing User

Song, select the desired User Song.

(Execute step 1 on page 44 then select

the User Song from 101–105 using the

dial.)

corded User Song.

2To specify the target track, while holding

down the [REC] button, press one track

button from [1]–[5] or [A].

Song or Style, for example, the currently playing Voices

may not sound as expected. This is normal, since the

Song or Style has its own DSP type which replaces any

USB Flash Drive Operations

By connecting the USB flash drive to the USB TO DEVICE terminal, you can save the

data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings. The saved

data can be recalled to this instrument again for future use.

Precautions when using the USB TO

DEVICE terminal

This instrument features a built-in USB TO

DEVICE terminal. When connecting a USB device

to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device

with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible USB devices

• USB flash drive

• USB wireless LAN adaptor (UD-WL01) (may

not be available depending on your area)

Other USB devices such as a USB hub, computer

keyboard or mouse cannot be used.

The instrument does not necessarily support all

commercially available USB devices. Yamaha can-

not guarantee operation of USB devices that you

purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use

with this instrument, please visit the following web

page:

http://download.yamaha.com/

Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on

this instrument, the amount of time for saving to or

loading from the USB device may differ depending

on the type of data or the status of the instrument.

Connecting USB device

When connecting a USB device to the USB TO

DEVICE terminal, make sure that the connector on

the device is appropriate and that it is connected in

the proper direction.

Using a USB flash drive

By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive,

you can save data you’ve created to the connected

device, as well as read data from the connected

USB flash drive.

Maximum number of USB flash drive allowed

Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the

USB TO DEVICE terminal.

Formatting USB flash drive

You should format the USB flash drive only with

this instrument (page 82). A USB flash drive for-

matted on another device may not operate properly.

To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently

erased, apply the write-protect provided with each

USB flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB

flash drive, make sure to disable write-protect.

Turning off the instrument

When turning off the instrument, make sure that

the instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash

drive by playback/recording or file management

(such as during Save, Delete and Format opera-

tions). Failure to do so may corrupt the USB flash

drive and the data.

• For more information about the handling of USB devices,

refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

• The rating of the USB TO DEVICE terminal is a maximum

of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating

above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument

itself.

NOTE

• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device

during playback/recording and file management opera-

tions (such as Save, Delete and Format), or when

accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may

result in “freezing” of the operation of the instrument

or corruption of the USB device and the data.

• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device

(and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds

between the two operations.

• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length

is less than 3 meters.

• The format operation overwrites any previously existing

data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are format-

ting does not contain important data.

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 play-

ing? 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.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/

STOP] button is pressed after selecting style num-

ber 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 foot-

switch 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 record-

ings (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).
