Apologies in advance for being completely ignorant on not just this keyboard but keyboards in general, I'm a guitar player myself so beyond turning it on I'm basically at a loss. I bought this keyboard for my wife as a xmas present, she had played piano her whole life but we did not have the room in our small apt for a piano so after much research and study I chose the CP33 because it had excellent sound and 'feel' and it was a wise choice because she loves it. However she knows about as much about electronic keyboards as I do so we're hoping you can help answer some questions for us.
The main thing we are curious about is if the keyboard is exapandable or adaptable to produce different sounds and effects from what it comes by default with as its presets? For example, say I want a cheesy 80s synth pop sound, or maybe a Hammond organ sound or whatever. How does this work? I assume these are just patches that you can download for a price but is it something that is loaded via computer to the keyboard itself? Or is it a scenario more like an effects module for guitar where you simply capture the raw output from the instrument and then a secondary interface is responsible for altering the sound?
Again apologies for the probably dumb question but any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
