Marianne Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I bought a Privia PX-360M and haven't used a digital keyboard before. I'd like to find out what else I can do with a MIDI capable keyboard. For example, can I import more sounds? Can I save them to the PX-360M? What could I do with additional hardware/software? Can anyone point me towards some easy to understand online information? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslyutov Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I can recommend to read manual. You probably will be able to find answers for many questions you have. PX-360 does not provide capabilities to import additional sounds . However you can use PX-360 as a MIDI controller with an external sound bank such as Roland Interga 7 or Yamaha Motif Rack XS.

Marianne Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 I found no information about any of these things in the manual and I'll check out the external sound bank option. That gives me somewhere to start. Thanks sslyutov ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslyutov Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 PX has USB MIDI interface which allows you to use it as Input and Output device with DAW(Digital Audio Workstation). As a staring point you can get Studio One 3. There is a free version of this software. Others normally offer only trials for free. DAW comes with their own instrument(s). The additional plugins can be purchased and installed as well. Integration over MIDI is quite flexible. Basically any instrument with MIDI input can be used as a sound bank . Roland Interga 7 or Yamaha Motif Rack XS are kind of flagman-ships . If you are looking for arrangers you can use your PX as one. External arranges such as Roland BK-7m also can be integrated with Privia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'd like to add extra sounds. For example , a tinkling toy keyboard that changes tone with each key press on the PX. Also interested in exploring music notation software. So far haven't worked out an easy way to enter chords/complex timings with Musescore without stopping after almost every note to make manual changes in the app. Apart from those things, it's a case of I don't know what I don't know!
