thanks for the info... what would I use to connect the p120 straight to my computer, and how much does the cord cost?
4. Practicing. Some software lets you play from score displayed on a computer and follows you, noting mistakes and scrolling ahead when necessary; no page-turning required
1. Play your P-120 through a sound system other than the one built into the keyboard (computer not necessarily required)2. Conrol sound samples running on your computer. I use my Yamaha PF500 together with GarageBand on a Mac. Even the puny piano sound samples that come with this $49 software beat the built-in sounds in many aspects. Connect it to professional samples, such as one of the magnificent Bösendorfer 290's, and you won't believe your ears (well, compared to the built-in sounds of a P-120, that is, but if you have a really good sound system, then it even compares to the real thing). 4.

I have some nice speakers and subwoofer for my computer, so here's what I did - I plugged the midi cord into the computer, and I'm using my good speakers plugged into my digital piano. Sounds great, but do you have any idea how to load the higher quality sound samples you mentioned so that my speakers will play them? I've got Cubase and Sibelius.
