I got my DJX in October. Love the board. Good MIDI control. The pros are knocking it because it's a PSR keyboard, but it is the most powerful PSR ever made for the 200 clams I paid for it. Love the filter section. My biggest bitch is the lack of a backlit display and one of the worst acoustic piano samples I have ever heard. But add some reverb, a tiny bit of chorus, the EQ Disco effect, and layer it with the Bright Piano voice and it's usable. I didn't buy it for the techno and rap shit it was made for; I'm a prog rocker and we use the same types of sounds that the deejays use. There's nothing like crankin' the Res all the way up and doing the big filter sweeps while blamming down a four note chord. I wish the thing had a mod wheel, but I can't have everything can I. Yamaha should have added a backlight, mod wheel, at least channel aftertouch, and stereo sampling to the ORIGINAL DJX instead of that shitty DJXII. That puppy is what should be getting slammed all over this website instead of this one, because it sucks ass. I don't know what Yamaha was thinking when they did that one.

This board dosent have the best sounds on it BUT it rocks...there is no other keyboard out there like it. its portable and is loud on its own. I have gone in a profesional studio with it alredy and made some cool rap songs with it that will eventually land me a Record Deal. if you got bad things to say bout this keyboard then lets see you build one that is better. dont knock this board cuz it just isnt "YOUR THING".

This Keyboard Is Decent,More On The Guidelines Of A Novice Teaching Tool.I Would Not Reccommend Buying Unless You Just Need Some Sounds.Its Onboard Sequencer Is Terrible This Is One Feature That I Feel Is The Base Of A Good Keyboard,I Mean If You Could at Least Copy 1 Measure To The Next In Step Mode That Would Help.

Well If I am not incorrect I think the sounds that are used are of very high quality, and I think yamaha might have used some new technology an implemented it then when I bought this keyboard about 2 or so years ago I bought it at the music store where it was highly recommended as a good production tool to develop ideas ....well I have produced at least 100 or so songs on this board and once you learn how to assign dsp fx etc and tweak the knobs you can get this keyboard to produce all kinds of sounds, but I would say as someone else did some of the sounds are thin...and the sampler memory needs to be increased but I like it better than the DJxII...no matter what the negatives things that are said I work around all kinds of keyboards and other keyboardists this machine holds its own and you can dump your saved sysx songs to library and also use it with Cakewalk.......people who badmouth this keyboard have not really used it only prejudged it......
