Updating/replacing patches via USB?
I have a Casio AP-60R. It's a wonderful keyboard. All the sounds I could ever want, even guitar fret noise. All, that is, except a Fender rhodes piano. There are 3 patches for an "Electric Piano", but they are all just those keyboards you hear on pop music. I really want a rhodes sound (knowing the steep prices that rhodes pianos go for today), and I have a MIDI/USB box that connects the keyboard to a computer. So my question is, is it possible to replace one unneeded patch on my keyboard with another one online via USB?

This negatively affected my tone in ways that I just can't describe.
Then, on a whim, a few years ago I wandered into a Bath and Body Works store at a local mall and picked up some of their gentle foaming anti-bacterial hand cleansers.
The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

I may be wrong, but my guess would be that it depends on what the hardware allows. If Casio built the keyboard with the capacity to do so, then yes, otherwise, likely not. I would check the manual to see if it says anything.

Not likely.

Your best bet is to get some kind of MIDI-controlled softsynth on your computer to give you the sound you want.
