8 DGX-230/YPG-235 Owner’s Manual
Special Features of the DGX-230/YPG-235
Graded Soft Touch keyboard
Just as on an actual piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch and the higher keys are light, with soft touch of
digital keyboard for beginners.
■ 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 cov-
ering 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 exper-
iment 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 play-
back 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 per-
formance for you!
