Top of the Line Yamaha Portable Grand Features Weighted Action
The YPG635 has an 88-key weighted graded hammer action keyboard with authentic grand piano-like touch — heavier in the low end, lighter in the high, and amazingly responsive! The cabinet has wood accents and an attractive matching stand that puts you and your keyboard at the correct recommended height. Also included is the adapter and sustain pedal. Rounding out the piano focus is a high resolution stereo piano sample. And to make sure you never run out of notes, the YPG635 features 64 notes of polyphony.

Lyric, Chord and Notation Display
Have you ever played a song and wondered what it would look like as sheet music? The YPG635 can display the score to a song whether it comes from the Internet, the internal selections or ones that you record yourself, and the pages scroll automatically when a song is played back – no more page turning! And for singers, the screen also displays chords and lyrics to XF compatible songs.

USB connectivity brings music directly to your keyboard
The YPG635 has 2 USB ports on the back, USB to Host and USB to Device.
  • USB to Host is plug and play simple for recording and playing back MIDI files, as well as transferring data to and from your computer.
  • USB to Device is for connecting optional peripheral USB storage devices like floppy disk drives and thumb drives. When a USB flash memory is inserted in this instrument's USB To Device terminal, user songs created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or loaded from the memory medium. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer song data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the performance assistant technology and the Yamaha Education Suite features mentioned below. Furthermore, user songs saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.
Ease of Operation
There are many tools in the keyboard that make it easy to be a power user from the first day you own the keyboard.
  • Expandable Music Database: Complete keyboard setups by song title. The keyboard selects an appropriate voice for the right hand melody, the correct musical style and the correct tempo. Simply call up a song title and start playing.
  • One Touch Setting (OTS): Provides you with a recommended voice with effects for each Style. For example, on a jazz style OTS might be piano, for a Latin style it might be acoustic guitar and for a rock style it might be a guitar with overdrive etc.
  • Registration Memory: Set the keyboard up just the way you like and take a digital snapshot by memorizing it to one of the Registration buttons. Load and save up to 16 Registrations to User memory. The Registration buttons are conveniently located just above the keyboard.
  • Performance Assistant Technology: Performance assistant technology is a feature from Yamaha that guarantees that you can't play a wrong melody note or chord. Here's how it works. Select a song, press the Performance
Yamaha Education Suite: Helps You Learn to Play
The YPG635 has 30 built-in songs plus 70 more on included CD-ROM for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary.
  • Three keyboard lessons for each hand
    • Waiting Mode – stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues.
    • Your Tempo Mode – Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing. Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed you are playing at. The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at your own pace.
    • Minus One Mode – Here's where you can perfect your technique. The song will play at the normal tempo, minus the part you have chosen to play. Play along while listening to the song.
  • Lesson Grading - Monitors your progress as you practice each lesson and gives you a grade.
  • Repeat and Learn - The song location will move back four measures from the point at which you pressed the button, and playback will begin after a one measure count-in. This section will repeat allowing you to practice until perfect!
  • Chord Dictionary - shows you how to play chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord names on the LCD screen.
6-Track Sequencer: Record Your Own Music
Imagine capturing your child's first performance or writing and recording your own songs. With the YPG635, you have the equivalent of a built-in multi-track recorder to record one or multiple instrument parts at a time and assign each part to a different track. Six tracks are provided to accommodate sophisticated melodies, chord accompaniment and rhythm parts.

Subject:Great Buy
Quality: Quite sturdy and though I do not necessarily like all the products Yamaha makes, they are reliable and particularly good on keyboards.
Features: It's pretty- I'm used to black keyboards so this is a nice change. Another reason I bought this is that you can buy an optional three pedal, which I might want later on.
Ease of Use: You definitely need to look through the manual; I did not have a problem with using the features I needed though(voices, etc.) I feel like it has too many unnecessary function. Another note: Assembling can be a little difficult if you are a female(though it wasn't impossible) but I recommend getting another person to help you since the keyboard is heavy.
Sound: Great. The basic piano tone is very nice and other voices are great or decent.
Action: The hammer action makes it a nice alternative to an acoustic, when you are in need of efficent use of space or night practice time.
Value: For $800 this is a great buy; I can't hope for much more under $1000.

Subject:What a deal!
Quality: Well made & solid. A true furniture quality stand. Yamaha quality has proven itself again.
Features: The selection of voices and styles are great. I wish the volume was easier to set and control. The demo feature plays great but when setting your own voices & style it is hard to balance the volume between the two.
Ease of Use: This instrument is ready to play right out of the box but some of the features require some effort to figure out. The manual is not printed for beginers and some of the explaination steps were not fully completed. Kind of leaves you to figure it out by trial & error. I fully recomend getting the Survival Kit with it. The CD in the kit is very helpful.
Sound: The tones are good but so many of them are so similar that the difference between them is too subtle. Also without the sustain pedal there is no sustain at all even when holding the keys down.
Action: This keyboard is very playable out of the box if you know anything about keyboards. I don't fee this is the right choice for a beginner. It is would be more for an intermediate user.
Value: It is a great value for the money. More than I expected. The payment plan makes a better quality instrument much more affordable.

Subject:Another Yamaha Classic in the making
Quality: This piano is the state of the arts and totally made with good quality wood and components. So far so good at being dependable for my needs.
Features: I love the learning feature of the product it helps me learn the music yet I would love to add virtual memory that remembers your mistakes and capatalizes on them.
Ease of Use: This product is easy to use being it caters to a seasoned piano player yet it also caters to those who want to learn. I am presently learning and the manual helped me along the way. This product is very easy to play with and learn.
Sound: Tones are Great! Just listening to the demos made me just want to play right then.
Action: This thing worked like a champ right out of the box!!
Value: For the price and the payment plan this was totally awesome!
"The best feature of AMS is its ability to offer customers the option of payments. Many of us cannot afford to outlay a chunk of cash for an item. And, AMS provides a payment option unlike a credit card that really is a godsend for musicians who are broke most of the time." Nov '08
