Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to copy sounds from one digital piano to another?

I am thinking about buying a CLP (340-370) but they do not have many sounds (like a steel guitar.) Is it possible to play the sound with the CLP if you have it on USB, taken from another DP?


It can be done with some keyboards....

Not really a USB stick although you could connect a CLP via Midi and use it as a controller to play sounds generated by another keyboard or a VST Syth on your computer.

The CLP-series Clavinovas don't have that ability.

You have several options:

- First, use a computer to add additional sounds like Dr. Popper suggests.

- Second, look into the Yamaha CVP line. This is aimed at consumers who want more voices than Yamaha includes in the CLP line.

- Third, some keyboards do include sampling capabilities, but even given this, I don't think you would be able to use USB to copy sounds from one keyboard to another.

- Fourth, add a hardware or software sampler.

Too bad it is not as easy as it is with PSR-series.
I have thought about the CVP-series, but I think that is a bit too much. I just would like to have 'some' extra sounds, and do not like to put a computer next to the piano.

(the Roland HP 207 has a load of extra sounds, but I prefer the piano sound of Yamaha)

If you don't want to use a computer, maybe a midi module would be the way to go.
