Lancw Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Is it possible to load custom instruments onto the keyboard? Does Casio offer a website that you can download or purchase specific instruments and add it onto the keyboard? I'm not talking about rhythms or beats, Im specifically talking about custom tones/sounds? If Casio doesn't offer a database of tones to chose from, is there any third party company that is compatible? The keyboard I have is a Casio CDP-S350. If you can not do this with a cdp s350, Is there a an 88 key keyboard that is 30 pounds or under that I can do this? thanks -LL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The CDP-S350 is strictly preset in the tones. It cannot load new tones. Which tones are you looking for? Casio has the PX-560 and PX-5S that are 88 keys and can load edited tones. These models can't load new sample data. Have a look in our downloads section for each model to see what types of sounds are uploaded by the community for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancw Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 thanks for your reply. That's a bummer about the S350. The good news as you mentioned is those other two models are lightweight. (I can bring it on a plane under 50 lbs) I bought that Casio assuming I could load sounds onto it. I also am testing out the Roland RD 88. So far it says that the Roland accepts svz files but I haven't been able to download that format. Are there any programs that can convert to to the correct format depending on the keyboard? For instance, I noticed a user posted the "Del Shannon" organ sound for the song Runaway on your forum. Could that file be converted to be compatiable with the Roland RD 88? What I don't like most about that keyboard is the piano sounds kind of cheesy. Some of it sounds ok but these sound bad for boogie woogie Jerry Lee Lewis style piano. I tried to see if there was a way to EQ it within the system but I didn't see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Files for the PX-5S or PX-560 are only compatible with the PX-5S or PX-560. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancw Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 thanks for your reply Brad. Is there an official Casio database that you can buy instruments from? Also, can you recommend a person that I might be able to hire to build specific sounds? Is that even possible for someone to make something custom and put it in the correct format?

kurth Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 your goal would be reached by using a computer or tablet...and then there's dozens of ways, and 1000's of instruments to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
