Sound Module Question Options

[macmonkey]

hi all...

a simple question, to which I don't know the answer!

I have a MIDI compatible electric piano (yamaha p200) and I was considering picking up a used sound module to give me access to more sounds. The piano has a built in amp and stereo speakers. If I connect an external sound module, will the sounds come through my piano's speakers or will I need another set of speakers and/or an amp connected to the module?

Also, if anyone has any advice on which used sound modules I should maybe look for (perhaps on ebay) I would be grateful.

thanks,
paul

thanks for the reply kaboombahchuck (ever thought of a shorter pseudo?!).

So... generally speaking what kind of sound outs do modules have? The reason I ask is I'm wondering whether it's possible just to hook of the sound module up to a set of 'computer style' speakers -- you know the ones with a subwoofer and dedicated tweeters. Anyone?

If I use an external sound module in conjunction with a mac based sequencer, is it usually possible for the module to play various voices at the same time? I have somewhere an old Roland keyboard which wasn't multi-timbral -- I could hook it up to my computer (an amiga at the time!) but using a sequencer I could only have one voice playing. To change it i had to push buttons on the keyboard itself to choose another voice.

Big apologies for the rookie questions!
