Hi Giovanni,
you'd have to read the Gem instructions on how to go about. ie does the expander only play back samples or can you actually record them.

I decided to try it on my sd1. I used a clarinet soundfont which I split up into individual wav files. Loaded them into the sampler etc etc.

I wasn't overly impressed with the result. The onboard clarinet sounded better.

The only reason I'd bother with creating or loading an intrument sample/s would be, if it was a sound that the keyboard didn't already have. I found it a lot of work and I used a wav file. Sampling is even harder to get a good result.

One thing I would consider is adding additional drum samples ( & drum loops for the sd1) & possibly some SFX samples as the SD1 has no where near the range of sounds that the PSR's & Tyros has.

best wishes
Rikki
