If you love to play music and want to practice on a portable grand series that boasts of top of the line features, then the DGX 505 is ideal for you. Some of the top features which make it a must buy are USB which enables plug and play compatibility, SmartMedia lyric and notation display, sustain pedal, a wooden stand on which the keyboard is perched, a very sensitive keyboard that responds to your touch and the keyboard is styled like a piano and is extremely lightweight.

The DGX 505 is actually a rehashed and enhanced version of model number DGX 500, which was a very popular model and sold in huge numbers and the 505 has replaced the old model and the makers are hoping that it will surpass the previous model in terms of popularity.

Some more features that I am going to describe here are user friendly attractive panel, 88 keys that are lightly weighted, SmartMedia storage, stereo piano sample of a high resolution, USB computer connectivity, a liquid crystal display that is large in size and bitmapped and if you wish to play the brass and string instruments in a more expressive manner then you can make use of the pitch bend wheel.

To make things simpler, the makers have designed a 6 track sequencer and you can start recording your performances with a double button push. This model also features an interactive novel version of Yamaha Education Suite that is way better than the one found on the previous models. The one on DGX 505 is the version IV that includes in it modes like repeat and learn and your tempo.

You need not worry if you are a beginner or a complete novice. You can still enjoy a very rewarding musical experience thanks to the performance assistance technology that has been newly added and because of it you can play along to different songs on your DGX 505 without committing one single mistake.
