With built in speakers you don't even need to connect the YPG225 to an external amplifier. It can also be a lot of fun listening to yourself play, after the fact. You can listen to your mistakes and work on your weaknesses. It's also good for recording yourself and listening afterwards, particularly during practice sessions. This is where you bring out the arranger and composer in you. I've always liked a keyboard with recording capabilities.

In that case notes would cut off since only 32 notes can sound at once. It would only create a problem for advanced players in a very lively performance. 32 notes of polyphony are not much for advanced players but for beginners and semi-professional players this is probably enough.

If you're using an adapter as well, it could be that the problem is with the adapter. Yamaha YPG225 Review The Yamaha YPG is an updated version of the Yamaha DGX-203. For instance, if the keyboard's speakers are working fine, but not the headphone's, that would seem to point to a problem with the headphone jack.īy the way, are you using any kind of adapter with the headphones? The two Yamaha keyboards that I own have the older, larger size headphone jacks, but the Skullcandy headphones I bought have the newer, smaller size plug, so I had to buy an adapter. I recommend that you go to the Functions menu, navigate to the Main Pan function, and fiddle with that setting- both with and without the headphones plugged in- to see if you get sound out of both the left and right speakers.

The keyboard has 'Pan' settings for the three Voices- Main, Dual, and Split- that let you adjust a Voice's Pan or stereo position from full left (Pan = 0) to full right (Pan = 127). I agree that it sounds like a hardware issue, but you didn't say whether the keyboard plays in stereo when the headphones aren't plugged in.
