Sheet music often contains a different arrangement than the recording. On the plus side, transcribing is good practice! ;-) I’m afraid you’ll have to transcribe those piano parts yourself.

The sheet music usually gives you an approximation of the over all song. How do I find exactly what the pianist is playing in the recording? For example - I want to play the piano (harpsichord) PART in Walk Away Renee by The Left Bank, but all I can find is overall piano sheet music that is totally different from what the guy is playing in the song.

However, whether you're able to record those MIDI notes on the piano using its built-in recording function... that depends on the digital piano. My answer would be: "probably not", but you'll have to check the instruments manual to make sure. Some digital pianos have a disk drive or a slot for a memory stick. If yours has one, you can transfer MIDI files to the piano that way. Alternatively, you may be able to upload MIDI files over the digital piano's USB connection if it has one. For instructions... see the manual. :-) Hi Fred,

Now I'm not a musican, just a computer guy trying to help the church out. I know that a musician can play a song on this digital piano/organ and record it on the CDP-2000 for later playback. But, we have a lot of MIDI files that we would like to be able to 'record' onto the CDP-2000. If we connect a computer to the digital piano, and play the files, can we use the record feature on the piano to save the MIDI files? As you can see, I'm just a computer guy who likes music, but does not play any instruments. It seems logical to me that this would work, but I sure would appreciate some advice!
