Special Features Of The Dgx-505/305 - Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-305 Owner's Manual

■ Performance assistant technology
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.
■ Play a Variety Of Instrument Voices
With the DGX-505/305, 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 vari-
ety.
■ Learning music is fun
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 down-
loaded from the Internet for lessons, so your musical resources are essentially
unlimited! The instrument will even evaluate and grade your performance for
you!
■ Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
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 function does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.
