Yamaha DGX-500 Review

In general I like the DGX-500 Yamaha keyboards. It does have a good sound.

I get sporadic problems with the connections, e.g. the pedal sometimes functions in reverse (not depressing pedal maintains the continuous sound, depressing the pedal - the notes play separately - notes are not held.

Sometimes the headset loses sound in the left earphone.

But, the worst part is when I record a song to a floppy disc. The song is saved in a .usr format that my computer does not read. I have yet to find a file converter to change this file to midi and then to a .wav file, so that I can enjoy and share my compositions on via computer. Please post a suggestion to be able to utilize this feature. It is really frustrating that Yamaha has a nice feature to record and save to disc (even though floppies are obsolete), and I can't even make use of it. For that I don't feel that this Yamaha is worth the money.
