Special Features Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard Thanks to our experience as the world's leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we've developed a keyboard with action that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-640 to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument. Performance assistant technology Page 43 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. All you need is one finger! Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 18 With the DGX-640, 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 variety. Play Along with Styles Page 24 Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles. The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons. Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 32 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. 8 Owner's Manual

Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect per-
formance 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.
