Yamaha YPG-625

The YPG-625 is a digital keyboard manufactured by Yamaha. It is an 88-key Portable Grand, and is the top model in the YPG series.

Features

The 625 sports a number of features, including a large LCD display, touch sensitive weighted keys, and 500 "voices" (instrument sounds that the keyboard can make). Included are Multiple Piano sounds, various guitars, choral voices, stringed instruments and symphonic band instruments. All are then remixed and combined as separate voices with the XGlite technology, taking ~130 voices and yielding 450. The last 50 voices are that of random, non musical sounds, such as car crashes, various footsteps, and explosions.

The instrument also includes 30 built-in instrumental songs, a 4 track recording capability, and 150 accompaniments.

Computer/USB connectivity

Through the instrument's B-type USB port, a computer can be attached to the instrument for recording or playback of MIDI files or uploading files to the instrument's flash memory through the use of the included Musicsoft Downloader software. This makes it possible to load additional song and style data. Instrument settings may also be downloaded for backup/recovery purposes.

The keyboard also has a A-type USB plug for attaching a USB flash drive. Additional songs or style files may be stored on the drive, and recorded songs may offload from the instrument to the device.
