Lovin my new keyboard

[soureel]

I've recently purchased a Casio PX-330 and love it. Very realistic key action, full keyboard, and excellent sound. There are patches besides acoustic piano. The electric piano ones are pretty good, and the organ ones are OK.

If you are looking for an even better deal and just want piano sounds without the extra patches and rhythm section, look into the PX-130.

I'm considering both of these DP's. Can you tell me what a 'patch' is?

A patch is a preset sound most usually associated to and named as an instrument and is what the instrument sounds like on that particular keyboard in general.ie Different patches have obviously different names and each model make of keyboard / piano is individual and keyboard / piano manufacturer create there own names of the sounds known as patches.Which ones you would prefer to play is a matter of personal taste so often there is much to explore about buying a new keyboard ie the model / manufacturer and if you would personally like the patches it plays.Which is one issue among many related to the choice of what buying decision you eventually make.Remember you are going to be playing it for many many hours and you really want to like what you hear all the time as well as like to play the keys and the touch they have will differ greatly too.I have keyboards i prefer the sound of ie the patches but not the touch to play when compared to others.So it has to be a happy medium.Have a nice day and thanks for reading.
