Yamaha Ypg 235 Midi Driver For Mac
Dec 25, 2010 Rating Rip off in Numbers by: Anonymous I already had the Yamaha 225 and my girlfriend just bought me the DGX230. I think it is a complete rip off because there is absolutely no differences in the two. Imagine buying a Gibson Les Paul, how many different models are there now in that line? You buy one a step up from the Studio and find it's basically the same guitar. It has turned me off of Yamaha because I've read several post from them saying that the DGX-230 is an upgrade, that is not true.
Also to have to buy a sustain pedal and power supply is also a rip off. I just bought a Boss VE-20 harmonizer and I told the guys at Sweetwater Music if they didn't include the power cord ($31.00) that I would shop else where, well they included the cord. It just isn't right to put two different model numbers on these keyboards and like I said I'm now looking for a new piano company. Dec 21, 2009 Rating Why it's done.

Connecting a Yamaha DGX 230 to a laptop running Vista by scott (Detroit, MI) I recieved a Yamaha DGX 230 for a Christmas gift and have already composed a few songs and want to transfer them to my computer which is a Dell XPS M1530 running on Vista. I have tried to connect it by using the USB driver that was on the CD Rom that came with my keyboard but that only lets the computer recognize that I plug in the keyboard.
Then when I open the musicsoft program, I click test connection and it dosent see that I have plugged in my keyboard. This is extremely frustrating for me due to the fact that I myself am not verycomputer savvy and I would greatly appreciate anyones input on my issue.
Thank you all very much. Comments for Connecting a Yamaha DGX 230 to a laptop running Vista Average Rating. Which one - DGX230 or PSR-S550B? By Jyoti (India) I play the keyboard with both hands in my own way. I am planning to learn Piano (online or with a teacher). But at the same time, I am interested in synthesise as well as in composing music. I am torn between DGX 230 because of its graded keys compared to PSR's organ like keys and also between 76 keys and 61 keys.
Also what bothers me whether 32 polyphony is enough for 6 track recording or for that matter 64 for 16 track recording. How important for a beginner to have 16 track recording facility? Please advise Comments for Which one - DGX230 or PSR-S550B? Average Rating.
Sep 04, 2009 Rating Polyphonic and recording tracks by: Dick Rector Dear Jyoti, Lot's of questions but according to polyphonic and 16 track recording. This is a very basic answer! 32 polyphonic is not so much, 64 or 128 or even more is a LOT better.
Don't forget that 'the band'playing the accompaniment style part (ACMP)is already using sometimes a large part of it. So you can end up with 'missing' tones.
How many tracks to record on? 16 is for a beginner and most profs MORE than enough, most of the more expensive keyboards don't have more than that. If you use an ACMP style in your recording it can consume a few tracks because each instrument(or VOICE)in general uses 1 track. As an example: If you have a 5 piece combo playing: Bass, drums, guitar, piano and a trumpet you use 5 tracks.
That leaves you with 11 tracks to play and record your own piece. That is 11 VOICES or instruments, in other words that is a very BIG band. Some keyboards are giving you even the possibility to 'DUB', that is double the recording on the same track.
Unless you want to record a 48 piece classical orchestra. 16 tracks is enough. Hope this helps you a bit with making a choice. Regards Dick Rector Bali (Indonesia).
DGX - 230 - Grand Piano - weak (soft) high tones, where as lower tones much louder? Hello all, Concerning the DGX-230, has anyone noticed this as well? The first octave on the right half is ok, but after that the grand piano tones are very soft, almost impossible to hear when playing lower or middle tones (and that even while hammering the high ones, and going easy on the low ones). I wonder if it's my keyboard, or if it's business as usual? Also, do other DGX's behave similarly (530, 630)?

By James Malone (Australia) Hi there. I recently bought myself a Yamaha DGX230.
A couple of days after, I found out about soundfonts, and how they can be used. Upon hearing this, I decided to try them out for myself. I have 1 problem. When I try to load a soundfont, the keyboard acts as though nothing happened. I have connected the keyboard through a USB connection, installed the Windows 7 Driver, and made sure That my computer got the Midi messages my keyboard was sending.
It should also be noted that I have a Realtech HD soundcard, and am using SFZ player 1.97. Is it possible that the DGX series can even play Soundfonts? As I understand it, the soundfonts are loaded from the soundcard, and transfered via midi message to the keyboard. Is there anything I need to do to actually get the Yamaha dgx 230 to load and play Soundfonts? Regards, James. Comments for Yamaha DGX 230 and soundfonts.
Average Rating. May 16, 2010 Rating soundfonts by: Anonymous Soundfonts are soundsamples/instruments that can be loaded into a reserved part of the memory of a computersoundcard (or the RAM of ur PC). The Soundblaster Audigy has this abbility. This way u can rebuild the soundlibrary of the soundcard with foreign samples of other keyboards using.SBK or.SF2 files. This will not work on your dgx 230, it will only work for some soundblaster cards like the LIVE! And audigy cards.
The soundfont files cannot be transferred via midi. Midi only sends/recieves note-information and NO sounddata. Does the Yamaha dgx230ms have a lot of fair quality sounds? By ahren (PA) Yamaha dgx230ms keyboard question, i would like to order this item online. I am a working musician looking for an inexpensive keyboard that will just do the job for some of our cover songs that require keys but i can't seem to figure out if this keyboard has a half decent strings sound or voice sound because there is no listing of the sound bank online that i can locate. What i really need to know is if this item is set up to be mainly a piano or if it has a reasonable array of sounds that are of at least midiocre quality.

Dec 07, 2009 Rating DGX 230 MS & YPG 235 by: Anonymous Dear Bob: I offer the following in the hope it may be of help. Not being an expert by a long shot, here is what I've seen on the internet: Keyboards in the 76 and 88 keys category use the prefixes somewhat indiscriminately UK US NOTE DGX 630 = YPG-635 (Model number up by 5) DGX 620 = YPG-625 ( “ “ “ “) DGX-520 = YPG-525 ( “ “ “ “) What exactly is the difference between DGX and YPG? Except for some minor ignorable technical differences they are the same. They are just different labeling which Yamaha uses to sell these electronic keyboards in different markets.
For instance, you will find DGX in the UK. And YPG in the US, and Numbers may differ slightly. The above does not surprise me as Yamaha has weird way of coding their units. Anyway, disregard if it makes no sense.

Dec 23, 2011 Rating If You're Just Trying To Copy The Music, There's A Much Easier Way by: Jo Since I'm on disability, I came up with a much easier way to utilize my keyboard for what I bought it for (making background music for YouTube videos). Go to RadioShack. Get a 9' (22.8CM) Audio Y-Cable, 1/4' (6.3mm) Stereo Male to Dual RCA (Phono) Female. Borrow your son's X-Box cable (the one with the RCA plugs that have red, white and yellow plugs on both ends - one end should be plugged into the TV, the other the front of his X-Box).
Depending on your sound card you can do one of two things. If you have a sound card with AUDIO IN RCA plugs in the back, plug your new RadioShack Audio Y-Cable into the headphone output of your Yamaha DGX-230, plug your son's X-Box cables into the corresponding colors (red into red, white into white, forget the yellow) of your Y-Cable, plug the other side of the X-Box cables into your AUDIO IN RCA plugs on your sound card (again, match up the colors). It's very important that you ENSURE the Y-Cable your are purchasing has a STEREO MALE plug on it. They do have Mono Male plugs that will make your keyboard music sound horrible. Open up GoldWave, or whatever audio program you record regular sound with, Click on 'NEW' give yourself sufficient blank space to record the song as it plays, hit the record button and then make the song you saved on your Yamaha play. It records nicely, but the bass is a little heavy so I used the mixer in Goldwave to ease up on the base a little and highlight the treble a little more.
If you don't have a sound card with RCA Audio IN jacks on it, you should probably have a microphone jack somewhere that looks like a place to stick your iPod earplugs in. If this is the case, you'll need a 1/4' Stereo Male to a 1/8' Stereo Male cable. Follow the same instructions to record - the 1/4' Stereo Male end goes into your headphone jack in the back of your keyboard, the 1/8' Stereo Male cable goes into your microphone jack wherever that is located on your PC. It's frequently the pink jack on your audio card and may be found in the front of your PC. If you're not getting sound from your keyboard, you need to open up your Windows Mixer (if you are using the sound card that came with the system). If you look over by the time in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen you should see a little gray speaker icon that says 'Volume' when you mouse over it. If you did not buy a separate audio card, this volume area should have a mixer included.
Simply find the 'IN' slider and make sure the volume is maxed out (towards the top). Check to ensure the 'Mute' box under the slider has not been checked. If you have mic jacks in the front and back of your PC, make sure you've selected the associated microphone jack to increase the volume on (it will say front or back).
I haven't figured out how to actually hear the music from the keyboard while it's recording, so I just watch the recording program and when I don't see anymore input I stop and save it to MP3. Hope this helps someone.:D.

To create standard midi files, You need to purchase sequencing software such as Cubase for your computer I downloaded Finale Allegro 30-trial, download the latest USB-Midi driver here connect to the computer using a USB cable and then play the songs in real time into the software. To record an audio or wave file, you will need to obtain an audio interface, such as the Yamaha Audiogram and plug into it via the instrument's headphone jack with an instrument cable. The interface comes with Cubase AI and you can use the software to record wave files, which can then be burned to a CD. MIDI is made of Controller and Note DATA, not Audio. MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface is a protocol developed in 1983 by major synthesizer manufacturers to allow one synth to play another remotely. They tried to figure out a way they could make a second synthesizer play by sending it control data from the first.

They figured it out, and more! The developers quickly found out a computer could record and playback 16 channels of this data and it revolutionized the way music is produced. Then they discovered with the right hardware you can have several of these 16 channel bundles (or ports) all running at once. The implications were profound. Now one person could compose multi-part music all by themselves. Understand that MIDI is NOT an audio signal.
