Hi,
hopefully the right group to ask.
I have a very old Clavinova CLP-50 (good keyboard action, bad sound
synthesis) and would like to improve the piano sound (just that, don't
need other sounds/instruments).
According to the manual it supports basic MIDI (on, off, velocity, no
program change) and I wonder what kind of device I should purchase to
get a better sound from it?

- Will any "Piano Module" do the job, eg EMU, Roland etc? Some claim
'perfect piano' sound, use 1GByte samples etc, but will they be driven
correctly from such an old MIDI device?
- What else to watch for?
- Is the MIDI protocol on these old instruments to crippled for full
dynamic playing (polyphony, pedal, dynamics)?
- Is this is a 'lost' project and I better buy an entire new digital
piano?

Background: I had a wonderful Kurzweil Mark 10 Digital Grand for 12
years here in the U.S.A., even produced solo piano CDs with it. I
recently had to sell it and am moving back to Europe now. And that's
where my old Yamaha is collecting dust since years...
