Voice Characteristics
The preset Voices are categorized into the types listed below. Refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List
(separate PDF) to see the type of each Voice.

VRM See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.


(Virtual Resonance
Modeling)

S.Art! See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 2.


(Super Articulation)

Natural! Natural! Voices are high quality sounds on many specialist sampling techniques.
They are especially suited to recreating Piano and other keyboard instruments.

2 Live! Live! Voices feature stereo sampling, to reproduce accurately the stereo image of
an acoustic instrument, as well as the ambience of the room it was recorded in.
Voices

Cool! Cool! Voices reproduce the complex characteristics of Electric Instruments, by


utilizing sophisticated programming techniques in both voicing, and the use of
DSP effects.

Sweet! Sweet! Voices are acoustic instruments which feature the sampled vibrato of the
original player, creating a far more realistic and emotional performance than
synthesized vibrato.

Drums Drum & Percussion instruments are mapped across the keyboard so you can play
them directly, or use in music production.

Live! Drums Stereo sampling is used for these high definition Drum and Percussion
instruments, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly,
or use in music production.

SFX Special percussion and sound effects are mapped across the keyboard, so you can
play them directly, or use in music production.

Live! SFX Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound
effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or
use in music production.

MegaVoice MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in Styles and Songs, not for
live performance. Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically
different playing styles simultaneously, and without changing the Voice.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the Data List (separate PDF).
NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created
on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not
have these types of Voices.
NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply keyboard
harmony (page 7), change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired
sounds may result.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 7


 Harmony
The types from Standard Duet 1 to Strum apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand
section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note
that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) If you want to use these types with
the Style stopped, set the Stop ACMP parameter to a setting other than Disabled in the Style Setting
display (page 25).

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of
the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard parts [MAIN] and [LAYER] should be
turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Main and Layer Voices are alternately assigned to the
notes in the order you play.

 Echo
When Echo, Tremolo or Trill is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the
note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the
[ACMP] and the Left part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill only works when you hold down two notes
on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes
alternately.

5 Use the [7 ] (Detail) buttons to call up the detail setting window, and then use the
[3 ] – [8 ] buttons to make necessary settings.
The available settings differ depending on the Harmony type selected in step 4.

[3 ] Volume This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
Assign. It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by
the Harmony/Echo effect.
[4 ]/ Assign This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
[5 ] Assign. This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/
echo notes will be sounded.
• Auto: Applies the effect to the part which is turned on. When the both
parts are on, the Main part is given priority over the Layer part.
• Multi: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is
sounded by Main part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the
Main and Layer parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the
keyboard and effect are sounded by that part. 2
• Main, Layer: Applies the effect to the selected part (Main or Layer).

Voices
[6 ] Speed This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected
in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill
effects.
[7 ] Chord Note Only This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.
When this is set to On, the Harmony effect is applied only to notes
(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belong to a chord
played in the chord section of the keyboard.
[8 ] Minimum This parameter is available for all types with the exception of Multi
Velocity Assign. It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note
will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your
playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The
harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set
value).

6 Play the keyboard.


The effect selected in step 4 is applied to the right-hand melody.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 9


Pitch-Related Settings
Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument such as keyboard, Style and Song parts (except the
keyboard part played by the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices, and audio playback)—a useful feature when
playing this instrument along with other instruments or audio playback.

currently selected scale is shown.

2 3

 Preset Scale types


Equal The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-
step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
Pure Major, Pure These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for
Minor triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—
such as choirs and a cappella singing.
Pythagorean This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a
series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tun-
ing are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some
leads.
Mean-Tone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the
major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century
to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

10 DGX-670 Reference Manual


Werckmeister, This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which
Kirnberger were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The
main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale
was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is
often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
Arabic1, Arabic2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

3 Change the following settings as necessary.

[2 ] Base Note Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,
the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes.
[3 ]/ Tune Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune
[4 ] it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.
NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)
2
[5 ]– Part Select Determines whether the Scale Tune setting is applied to each part or not.
[8 ]

Voices
NOTE If you want to store the Scale Tune settings to Registration Memory, be sure to checkmark Scale Tune in the Registration Memory display called up via the
[MEMORY] button.
NOTE If a VRM Voice is selected as the Main part, the resonance of all VRM Voices is set to the same scale type as that of the Main part. If a Voice other than a
VRM Voice is selected as the Main part, the resonance of any other VRM Voices is set to Equal.

Pitch Settings for Each Keyboard Part

You can set the pitch independently for each keyboard part.

1 Call up the operation display.


[MENU] → Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Voice Setting, [ENTER] → TAB [E][F] Tune

2 Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the item, and then use the [3 ] – [8 ]
buttons to adjust the value for the corresponding part.

Cursor [][]

1 Tuning
Determines the pitch of each keyboard part.
2 Octave
Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for each keyboard part.
3 Portamento Time
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard
to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer
pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results in no effect. This parameter is available when the selected
keyboard part is set to Mono (page 13).

DGX-670 Reference Manual 11


Editing Voices (Voice Set)
The Voice Set function allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing

• Offset: Determines the amount by which received velocities are
adjusted for the actual velocity effect.
[5 ]/ Part Octave Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When
[6 ] the edited Voice is used as any of the Main and Layer parts, the Main/
Layer parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the Left
part, the Left parameter is available.

2 Mono/Poly, Portamento

[1 ]/ Mono/Poly Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically (Mono) or
[2 ] polyphonically (Poly).
[3 ]/ Mono Type Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar,
[4 ] when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to Mono above.
• Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.
• Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only
the pitch changes to that of the next note.
• Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played
note to the next note.
NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves
the same as the Normal setting when these Voices are selected.
NOTE When Legato is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from Nor-
mal, depending on the panel settings.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 13


[5 ] Portamento Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to Mono
Time above.
NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.

[6 ]/ Portamento Type Determines how an actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Por-
[7 ] tamento Time value above.
• Fixed Rate: Make the pitch change rate to 0: max., 127: min. The actual
pitch transition time varies according to the interval between the two
notes.
• Fixed Time: Make the actual pitch transition time to 0: min., 127: max.
The pitch change rate varies according to the interval between the two
notes.
NOTE The basic rule of Portamento Time is unchanged even if this setting is changed. When the value of
Portamento Time is smaller, the actual time is shorter; when the value is larger, the actual time is

2
longer.
NOTE The greater the value of Portamento Time, the clearer the effect of this setting will be.

Style Types (Characteristics)


The particular type of Style is indicated above (or in the icon at the left of) the Style name on the Style
Selection display or the Main display. The defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance
advantages are described below.

• Adaptive: These Styles can be used with the Adaptive Style function in which the Main variation changes
automatically depending on how dynamically you play the keyboard—without your needing to press the
MAIN VARIATION buttons. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Unison: These Styles can be used with the Unison & Accent function, which lets you play in unison and/or
add accents during Style playback. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for
a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropri-
ate or unexpected accompaniment.
• Pianist: These special Styles provide piano-only accompaniment. Just by playing the proper chords with
your left hand, you can automatically add complicated, professional-sounding arpeggios and bass/chord pat-
terns.

18 DGX-670 Reference Manual


Playing Style with the Smart Chord feature
If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don’t know how to play the appropriate chords, set the
Chord Fingering type to Smart Chord. This lets you control Styles with just a single finger, as long as you
know the key of the music you’re playing—even if you don’t know any chord fingering such as major, minor,
diminished and so on. Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single
note, as if you were playing the “right” chords.
Try out the Smart Chord feature with the following sample score. Simply play the root notes of the chords
indicated in this score with your left hand as you play the melody with your right hand, and listen to how the
chords with their notes and voicings match the music genre you’ve set.

[2 ]/ Section Set Determines the default section that is automatically called up when select-
[3 ] ing different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to Off and
Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the dif-
ferent Style is selected. When any of the Main A–D sections is not
included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected.
For example, when Main D is not contained in the selected Style, Main C
will be called up.
[4 ]/ Tempo This determines whether the tempo setting of the Style changes or not
[5 ] when you change Styles.
• Lock: The previous tempo setting is always maintained. When the
Style tempo is locked to the previous setting, a padlock icon appears

• Hold: During Style playback, the previous tempo setting is main-
tained. When Style playback is stopped, the tempo changes to that of
the initial default tempo for the selected Style.
• Reset: The tempo always changes to that of the initial default tempo
for the selected Style.

Styles

NOTE The Intro 1 section consists of only the Rhythm part while Intro 2 and 3 consist of all the parts as
well as the Rhythm part. When you play Intro 2 or 3, in order to have the complete Intro section
sound properly, you need to play chords in the chord section with the [ACMP] turned on.
NOTE When 1 is selected here, if you press the [ENDING/rit.] button while the Style is playing, a fill-in
automatically plays before the Ending section.

[5 ]/ Synchro Stop Turns the Synchro Stop function on/off. When this is set to On, you can
[6 ] start the Style anytime you want by simply playing the keys in the chord
section of the keyboard, and stop the Style by releasing them. To use this
function, make sure that the [ACMP] button is on.
NOTE When the Chord Fingering type is set to Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard, or when the Unison
function is turned on, Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.

[7 ]/ ACMP On/Off Determines whether the [ACMP] button is on or off when the power is
[8 ] Default turned on.

2 Synchro Stop Timing, Stop ACMP


[3 ]/ Synchro Stop This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop
[4 ] Timing function is automatically canceled. When Synchro Stop above is set to
On, and this is set to a value other than Off, this automatically cancels the
Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set
here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting
you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you
release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function
works.

24 DGX-670 Reference Manual


[5 ]/ Stop ACMP When the [ACMP] button is turned on and the [SYNC START] button is
[6 ] off, you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the
Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition—
called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recog-
nized, and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can
determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not
in the Stop Accompaniment status.
• Disabled: Disables the Stop Accompaniment feature. When Style
playback is stopped, any pressed notes in the chord section of the key-
board will not be recognized as chords.
• Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
• Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices
for the Pad channel and the Bass channel of the selected Style.
• Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the speci-
fied Voice, regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to
Style.
NOTE If you record a Song using the Stop Accompaniment, both the Voice that is sounded and the chord

data will be recorded when set to Style, and only the chord data will be recorded when set to Off or
Fixed.
NOTE When this is set to Disabled, chords are not recognized while the Style is stopped. For this reason,
Keyboard Harmony is not applied even if you play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard while
the Style is stopped.

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)
The Style Creator function lets you create original Styles by recording rhythm patterns from the keyboard
and using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to
create, and then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source
Pattern” in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section.

 Style Data Structure — Source Patterns


A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate
channels, each of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a
Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other
existing Styles.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 27


Realtime Recording

In the Basic page, you can record your original rhythm pattern from the keyboard.

Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator


• Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done
using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are
repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record
while hearing previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as
Rhythm Clear (page 29) and Channel Delete (pages 29, 31). For example, if you start recording with a two-
measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from
the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material.
When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm
channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

 Recording Rhythm Channels 1–2
Styles

The procedure below applies to step 5 in the Basic Procedure on page 27.

1 From the Basic page, use the [1 ] (Rec Ch) buttons to call up the Rec Channel
window in the lower half section of the display.

2 Hold down the [1 ] (Rhy1) or [2 ] (Rhy2) button to select the desired channel as the
recording target.
A Rhythm channel can be selected as the recording target no matter whether already recorded data is
included or not. If already recorded data is included in the selected channel, you can record notes

• Available Voices for recording
Any except for the Drum Kit/SFX kit Voices can be used for recording.
• Record a phrase in CM7 (for playing appropriate notes while chords change during performance)
Rules when recording a Main or Fill
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord (page 38) is set to CM7. This means that you
should record a Source Pattern using a CM7 scale, which will change according to the chords you
specify during normal performance. Record a bass line, phrase or chord backing which you want to hear
when CM7 is specified. See below for details.
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phr (Phrase) channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A,
and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chd (Chord) and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

C = Chord note
C R C C R C C, R = Recommended note

If you observe this rule, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord
changes you make during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you
need not observe the rule for Main and Fill-in Sections described above, and you can create special
chord progressions when recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set
to CM7.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C scale.

Styles

1 Groove
This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing
(clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the Section selected on the Basic
page.

[1 ]/ Original Beat Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other
[2 ] words, if 8 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th notes; if
12 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
[3 ]/ Beat Converter Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the Original Beat
[4 ] parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat
is set to 8 Beat and Beat Converter is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the sec-
tion are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Con-
verter which appear when Original Beat is set to 12 Beat are variations on
a basic 16th-note setting.
[5 ] Swing Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depend-
ing on the Original Beat parameter above. For example, if the specified
Original Beat value is 8 Beat, the Swing parameter will selectively delay
the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The
settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A”
being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
[6 ]/ Fine Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected sec-
[7 ] tion. The Push settings cause certain beats to be played early, while
Heavy settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings
(2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the
specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or
delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all
cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium
effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

34 DGX-670 Reference Manual


2 Dynamics
This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings
are applied to each channel or all channels of the Section selected on the Basic page.

[2 ] Channel Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. The
selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display.
[3 ]/ Accent Type Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the
[4 ] part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings.
[5 ] Strength Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be
applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect.
[6 ] Expand/Comp. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than
100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress
it.
[7 ] Boost/Cut Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values
above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce
it.

IMPORTANT
The parameters here should be set before recording. If you change the settings after recording, the appropriate note conversion cannot
be done even when you specify various chord types.

Before recording, you should set these parameters which determine what key is used for playing when you
record the Source Pattern to the Bass, Chord, Pad or Phrase channel. If you set this to “Fm7,” your
recorded original phrase (Source Pattern) will be triggered by specifying Fm7 during normal performance.
CM7 (Source Chord Root = C and Source Chord Type = M7) is set by default. Depending on the settings
here, the playable notes (chord notes and recommended scale notes) will differ. For details, see below.

Styles

C = Chord notes
C, R = Recommended notes

NOTE When the parameters for the selected channel are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off, the parameters here are changed to Play Root instead of
Source Root. In this case, you can hear the resulting sound while you change the Chord Root/Type during playback.
NOTE The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to Gtr.

2 NTR/NTT

[7 ] Bass The channel for which this is set to On will be played back by the bass root
note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is
set to Gtr and this parameter is set to On, only the note which is assigned to
bass will be played back by the bass root note.
NOTE Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by chord changes, make sure that the parameters are set to NTR: Fixed, NTT: Bypass, and Bass: Off. In
this case, Source Root is changed to Play Root.

5 Press the [ENTER] button to actually enter the edits for each display.
After the operation is completed, the “Execute --> [ENTER]” indication on the display changes to “Undo
--> [ENTER],” letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the operation results. The
Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone.

6 Use the [8 ] (Save) buttons to carry out the Save operation.
For details, refer to “Basic Operations” in the Owner’s Manual.
NOTICE
The edited Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn off the power to the instrument without carrying out the Save opera-
tion.

 Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you
record the musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your
performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way
of correcting for this.

4
[1 ]/ Channel Determines which MIDI channel in the Song data is to be quantized.
Songs

[2 ]
[3 ]– Size Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set
[5 ] the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if
eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as
the Quantize size.

Quarter-note length
After 1/8 note quantization

Settings:

1/16 note+
1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/32 note 1/8 note triplet*
1/4 note 1/8 note 1/16 note 1/8 note+ 1/16 note+
triplet triplet triplet 1/8 note triplet* 1/16 note triplet*

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally
convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at
the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth-
note triplets are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the
straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight
eighth notes—completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use
the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet
notes will be quantized correctly.

56 DGX-670 Reference Manual


[6 ]/ Strength Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100%
[7 ] produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be
moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified
percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some
of the “human” feel in the recording.

1 3 Band EQ EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands
which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The

Microphone
instrument features a three-band (Low, Mid and High) digital equalizer function for
the microphone sound. For each of three bands, you can adjust the center frequency
(Hz) and level (dB) via the corresponding knobs on the display.

2 Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a
specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal
(vocal, etc.) to pass.

SW (Switch) Turns the Noise Gate on or off.

TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.

3 Compressor This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone
exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have
widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts
louder and loud parts softer.

SW (Switch) Turns Compressor on or off.

TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be
applied.

Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more


compressed sound, with a reduced dynamic range.

Output Adjusts the final output level.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 59


4 Talk Mixing Lets you make settings for talking or making announcements between songs during a
performance.

Reduction Level Determines the amount of reduction to be applied to the overall


sound (excepting the microphone input)—allowing you to effec-
tively adjust the balance between your voice and the overall
instrument sound.

Pan Determines the stereo pan position of the microphone sound.

Effect Depth Determines the depth of the Reverb or Chorus effects applied to
the microphone sound.

Volume Determines the output volume of the microphone sound.

Applying Desired Effects to the Microphone Sound


In addition to Reverb and Chorus, a wide variety of Effect Types are provided. You can select the desired
effect type in the display called up via [MIC SETTING] → TAB [E] Mixer → [8 ] (DSP).
The parameters and operations on this display are the same as those in the Mixer display called up via the
[MIXER/EQ] button. For details, refer to page 69. If you want to apply the effect only to the microphone
sound, make sure to select DSP 5 as an effect block, and Mic as a part.
To save the settings you’ve made on the Mixer page of the Mic Setting display, register them to Registration
Memory.

Editing Compressor (Master Compressor) Parameters
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio
signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic
range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features the Master Compressor applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although the
preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can create and save your original Master Compressor by
adjusting the related parameters.
NOTE Master Compressor cannot be applied to playback of audio received via the USB Audio Player function and the Audio Input Sounds.

stops (damps) any sustained notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each
keyboard part on this display. The Half Pedal Point parameter allows you to specify
how far down you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working.
Sostenuto Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord
on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain
as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This
makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played stac-
cato. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
Soft Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the
volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for cer-
tain appropriate Voices. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard
part on this display. The Half Pedal Point parameter allows you to specify how far
down you should press on the pedal until the soft effect starts working.

 Pre-programmed MIDI Templates

All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (Main, Layer and Left), with the
exception of Song parts.
KBD & STYLE Basically the same as All Parts with the exception of how keyboard parts are man-
aged. The right-hand parts are handled together as Upper instead of Main and Layer,
and the left-hand part is handled as Lower.

DGX-670 Reference Manual 79


Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and con-
trolling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/
sequencer).
Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to
play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external
sequencer.
Clock Ext. Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock
instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you
wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you
play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with
the left-hand buttons.
MIDI Accord2 Basically the same as MIDI Accord 1 above, with the exception that the chord/bass
notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as
MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal
unit.
MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

MIDI System Settings

The explanations here apply to the System page in step 4 on page 79.
Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the parameters (below), and then set the On/Off status by using the
[1 ]–[8 ] buttons.

Connections

1 Local Control

[1 ] – Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to On, the key-
[7 ] board of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal
Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local Control to Off, the keyboard
and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so
that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this
allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and
use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external
tone generator.

80 DGX-670 Reference Manual


2 Clock setting, etc.

[1 ]/ Clock Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock
[2 ] or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. Internal is the
normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a mas-
ter keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument
with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and
you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appro-
priate setting: USB1, USB2 or Wireless LAN. In this case, make sure that
the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s [USB
TO HOST] terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock
signal. When this is set for control by an external device (USB1, USB2, or
Wireless LAN), the tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo pop-up dis-
play.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than Internal, the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be controlled
by the buttons on this instrument.
NOTE Wireless LAN is shown only when the USB Wireless LAN adaptor (UD-WL01) is connected to this
instrument.

[3 ]/ Transmit Clock Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to Off, no MIDI
[4 ] clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played
back.

[5 ]/ Receive Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to
[6 ] Transpose the note events received by the instrument via MIDI.

[7 ]/ Start/Stop Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect
[8 ] Song or Style playback.

3 Message Switch

[1 ]– Sys/Ex. The Transmit setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive
[4 ] messages on or off. The Receive setting turns MIDI reception and recog-
nition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equip-
ment on or off.

Bass Note Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the On Bass Note page in step 4 on page 79. These settings let you determine
the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages
received at the channel(s) set to On are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass
note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] button or split point settings. When several channels are
simultaneously set to On, the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16)


flash briefly whenever any data is received on the
channel(s).
NOTE If WLAN is shown, this instrument can handle
MIDI messages received via the USB wireless
LAN adaptor connected to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal. When WLAN is not shown although the
USB wireless LAN adaptor is connected, turn the
instrument off then on again.
