I have a Clavinova CLP-170 digital piano, Audigy 2 soundcard, Cubase and Sonic. I find I am limited to the quality and variety of sounds this setup can give. Eg neither the digital piano's strings, the Audigy's strings, or any soundfont's strings I've tried are good enough. What I'm after is top of the range synthesizer sounds and effects. Is there a soundcard and/or software synth software that can give me superior professional sounds compared to what I have. Or do I really need to get a replacement for the digital piano, eg the Yamaha S90ES. The editing side of things I am fine with - Cubase and Sonic are a breeze. The piano sound I have is fine (can record directly into mp3/wav from digital piano to pc and sounds professional). What I need is professional synthesizer sounds and effects (strings / bass / drums / other instruments etc).
Thanks
