What to do if Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-650's right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound?
- J
  Jessica AguilarSep 10, 2025
  If playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard on your Yamaha Musical Instrument does not produce any sound, it might be because you are using the Dictionary function (page 62). When using this function, the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

Why does Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-650 Musical Instrument's voice sound change from note to note?
- S
  Steven GentrySep 12, 2025
  The sound of the Voice changing from note to note on your Yamaha Musical Instrument is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the keyboard's range; therefore, the actual sound of the Voice may vary slightly from note to note.
