Reference Manual

2 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Using the Manuals

Four different manuals have been prepared for your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE — the Owner’s Manual, this

Reference Manual, the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. A hard-copy version of the Owner’s

Manual comes together with the instrument, and the other three manuals are provided as pdf files on the

Yamaha Downloads web page.

Owner’s Manual (hardcopy booklet)

The Owner’s Manual describes how to set up your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE and perform basic

operations. In specific terms, it covers the following:

Reference Manual (this pdf document)

This Reference Manual describes the design of the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE and all of the parameters

that may be set.

Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf document)

The Synthesizer Parameter Manual provides a description of Voice parameters, effect types, effect

parameters, and MIDI messages often used on Yamaha electronic instruments. We recommend that you first

read the Owner’s Manual and this Reference Manual, and then refer to the Synthesizer Parameter Manual if

you wish to know more about a specific Voice parameter, effect, or the like.

4 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE

Makeup

In terms of sound production, the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE each comprises three blocks — namely, the

controllers, the tone generator, and the effect unit.

Controllers

In order that it may be played, the instrument features a range of controllers such as the keyboard, pitch

bend wheel, modulation wheel, and sliders. Performance data reflecting the pitch of each key played and

the velocity (or strength) with which it was played is sent to the tone generator in the form of MIDI messages.

Data generated by operating the wheels, sliders, pedals, and the like is also sent in the same way.

Keyboard

The keyboard is the main controller used to send performance information to the tone generator. Using the

[-] and [+] TRANSPOSE buttons, you can change the pitches of the keys in semitone units.

Pitch Bend Wheel

The pitch bend wheel can be used to control the pitch of played

notes in a continuously variable manner. Notes are bent upward

when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice

versa. When you release this wheel, the finger slot at the center will

automatically spring back to the original position, and the pitch will

return to normal. The pitch-bend range — that is, the degree to

which pitches can be varied using this wheel — can be set on the

Play Mode screen (page 17) from the Performance Part Edit area.

In addition to pitch bending, you can also assign control of an

insertion effect (page 11) parameter to the pitch bend wheel. To do

so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part

Edit area.

Modulation Wheel

The modulation wheel is normally used to add vibrato and other

suitable effects to the played notes. The more the finger slot is

pushed away from you, the greater the intensity of the effect and

vice-versa. The effect is, therefore, minimized when the slot is

closest to the front of the instrument. If you do not want to apply the

modulation wheel’s effect, it should be returned to this position.

In addition to applying modulation, you can also assign control of a

parameter from an insertion effect (page 11) to the modulation

wheel. To do so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the

Performance Part Edit area.

5 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers

Sliders

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE are each equipped with two sets of sliders — the Part sliders and the

MASTER EQUALIZER (EQ) sliders.

Part sliders

Located on the left of the control panel, the Part sliders are used to adjust parameter levels for individual

Parts. There is one slider for each of the instrument’s Parts, and they can be used to adjust three parameters

— volume, chorus send, and reverb send. To change the parameter currently being adjusted, press the

[SLIDER FUNCTION] button located to the right of the sliders the required number of times. Moving the

sliders away from you increases the level of the current parameter and vice-versa.

NOTE For more details on using the Part sliders, refer to the Quick Start Guide section of the Owner’s Manual.

NOTE Operating the Part sliders also changes the settings of the Volume, ChoSend, and RevSend parameters from the Performance

Part Edit area’s Play Mode screen (page 17).

(Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.)

MASTER EQ sliders

The master EQ is used to adjust the overall tone of the instrument, and the MASTER EQ sliders control the

gain in individual frequency bands. Located on the right of the control panel, each of these sliders is

assigned to a different frequency band. Moving a slider away from you increases the gain in the

corresponding frequency band and vice-versa.

6 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers

Pedals

Two different types of pedal can be used with the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE — foot switches, such as

the bundled FC3A and the optional FC4A and FC5, and a foot controller like the optional FC7.

Foot switches

The FC3A that comes with your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE should be connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT

SWITCH jack. This allows it to be used in the same way as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, causing

the notes played on the keyboard to sustain for longer. Instead of having the foot switch simply turn damping

on and off, you can also have the amount of sustain change depending on how much the pedal is operated.

This setting is made on the Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. Configured in this way, the piano

will produce longer notes when the foot switch is operated by a greater amount and vice-versa.

NOTE By default, the Sustain parameter from the Utility area’s Controller screen is set to “FC3 Half On”.

The FC4A and FC5 (sold separately) can be connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack so that

various functions can be assigned to them. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from the

Performance Part Edit area, you can assign on/off switching of an insertion effect (page 11) to one of these

foot switches. Alternatively, you can assign a MIDI control change number to an FC4A or FC5 on the

Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The foot switch will then control the corresponding

parameter when operated. It should be noted that the FC4A or FC5 can also be connected via the

[SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack.

Foot controller

The FC7 Foot Controller (sold separately) can be used to control an assigned parameter: On the CP4

STAGE, the FC7 can be connected via the [1] and [2] FOOT CONTROLLER jacks; on the CP40 STAGE, it

can be connected via the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from

the Performance Part Edit area, you could assign control of a Part’s volume or a parameter from one of the

insertion effects (page 11). Alternatively, you could assign a MIDI control change number to an FC7 on the

Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The corresponding parameter can then be controlled by

operating the foot controller.

(Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.)

7 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator

Tone Generator

The tone generator produces sound based on data received from controllers such as the keyboard and

sliders. The basic element of CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE sounds is referred to as a Voice, and

Performances are made up of multiple Voices. Both the Voice and the Performance are described below.

Voices

Each Voice represents a different instrument sound that the CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE can produce.

Generally speaking, your stage piano can produce two different types of Voice — Normal and Drum.

NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Voices can be found in the Data List (pdf).

Normal Voices

Normal Voices are primarily used to reproduce the sound of instruments played within a specific musical

scale. That is to say, the pitch of these Voices will change based on the key played.

Drum Voices

Drum Voices are generally used to produce the sounds of percussion instruments. With these Voices, a

different drum or percussion instrument sound is assigned to the various keys on the keyboard. For this

reason, Drum Voices can also be referred to as drum kits.

(Illustration shows a typical Drum Voice.)

Voice categories

The various different Voices on your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE are arranged into a number of categories.

Each category represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or organ, or a sound genre. The

following table shows these categories, and each contains a number of different Voices.

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator

Performances

A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and both the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a

wide range of Performances ready for use.

NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Performances can be found in the Data List (pdf).

Parts within a Performance

As shown in the illustration below, each CP4 STAGE Performance contains three Parts; each CP40 STAGE

Performance, two Parts. A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the Performance. In

addition, the Parts that make up a Performance can be overlaid (layering) or divided into separate regions of

the keyboard (splitting).

Performances and Voices

Voices are linked to Performances — that is to say, when you select a new Performance, the Voices for all

Parts will change. In addition, if you select a Part and change its Voice, that change will be reflected in the

current Performance (see the illustration below for details). Changing Voices in this way is referred to as

Performance editing, and this will be described in more detail on the following page. It is important to bear in

mind that Performance editing mode is activated as soon as one of the Part Voices is changed. In addition, if

you select a different Performance at this time, editing mode for the previous Performance will be cancelled

and you will be able to edit the newly selected one.

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator

Editing Performances

While the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a wide range of Performances already built-in, you can

also create your own. The process of editing a Performance involves changing its Part’s Voice assignments

and various other parameters. Parameters that affect a specific Part are referred to as Part parameters; those

affecting all Parts are referred to as Common parameters.

NOTE For details on the parameters that can be edited to create Performances, refer to Performance Editing (page 13).

Storing Performances internally

When you are happy with the Performance that you are editing, it must be stored on the instrument if you

intend to use it again at a later date. At this time, you can choose a Performance from the stage piano’s User

Memory (page 12) to overwrite with your edited Performance. Alternatively, you can store without specifying

a different Performance, and this will result in the current Performance being overwritten.

NOTE For details on the procedure for storing Performances, refer to the description of the Store Performance function (page 29). For

details on the procedure for renaming a Performance, refer to the description of the Name screen (page 15) from the

Performance Common Edit area.

Saving Performances externally

Performances stored on the stage piano can also be saved to a USB flash-memory device. You will need to

carry out this procedure if you create more original Performances than can be stored internally or if you wish

to create a backup of your Performances. While Performances can be stored internally on an individual

basis, all Performances from User Memory are saved together to a USB flash-memory device as a single All-

type file. The extension .C7A is used for CP4 STAGE Performances; the extension .C8A, for CP40 STAGE

Performances. In addition, Performances saved as an All-type file to a USB flash-memory device can be

loaded together back into the stage piano. Alternatively, any one of the Performances from the saved file can

be selected and loaded individually.

NOTE For details on the procedure for saving Performances externally, refer to the description of the Save screen (page 32) from the

File area.

NOTE For details on the procedure for loading Performances back into the stage piano, refer to the description of the Load screen

(page 33) from the File area.

10 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit

Effect Unit

The effect unit is used to apply a range of different effects to the sounds produced by the tone generator in

order, for example, to add thickness, reverb, or a sense of space. In this way, the effect unit can make your

stage piano sound much more expressive.

Makeup of Effects

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature insertion effects for use with individual Parts, system effects that

can be configured for each Performance, and a master compressor and master EQ that affect all

Performances in the same way. Voices produced by the tone generator are processed by the insertion

effects, the system effects, and the master compressor and master EQ in that order, before being output via

your amplifier and speakers.

CP4 STAGE

Insertion effects

• Applied to up to two individual Parts in

each Performance.

• Each contains two independent effects,

A and B.

11 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit

Insertion effects

Assigned to individual Parts, insertion effects process the sound of the corresponding Voice. Two are

available for use in a Performance, each containing two independent effects, A and B. Parameters for these

effects can be set on the Effect-A and Effect-B screens (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. In

addition, the insertion effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [A] and [B] PART EFFECT

buttons from the control panel.

System effects

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature chorus and reverb as system effects. Because these operate as

send-type effects, audio signals corresponding to the send levels set for each Part are sent together to the

chorus and reverb units, which each output a single processed audio signal. Parameters for chorus and

reverb can be set on the Chorus Effect and Reverb Effect screens (page 14) from the Performance Common

Edit area. In addition, the system effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [CHORUS] and

[REVERB] SYSTEM EFFECT buttons from the control panel.

NOTE Send levels for each Part can be adjusted using the Part sliders (page 5).

Master compressor

The master compressor modifies the overall sound of the stage piano, and therefore, the same parameters

apply to all Performances. These parameters can be set on the MasterComp screen (page 44) from the

Utility area. In addition, the master compressor can be conveniently turned on and off using the [MASTER

COMP] button from the control panel.

Master equalizer

The master equalizer adjusts the overall sound of the stage piano just before it is output. On the CP4 STAGE,

the master EQ features five frequency bands; on the CP40 STAGE, it has three. The MASTER EQ sliders

located at the right of the control panel can be used to adjust the gain in each band. Moving a slider away

from you increases the gain in the corresponding frequency band and vice-versa. On both the CP4 STAGE

and the CP40 STAGE, the Low and High bands can be switched between peaking and shelving types.

Master EQ parameters are set on the Master EQ screen (page 46) from the Utility area.

Effect categories, types, and parameters

Details on the categories of effect available on the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE as well as their types and

parameters can be found in the Effect Type List and Effect Parameter List sections of the Data List (pdf). In addition,

these effect categories, types, and parameters are described in detail in the Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf).

Preset programs

For each effect type, parameter settings suitable for various different modes of use have been prepared as preset

programs. Instead of configuring effects from scratch, you can save considerable time by selecting the preset

program that best matches the current Voices or style of music and then tweaking to suit your specific needs. Preset

programs can be selected using Preset from effect-parameter editing screens. A full list of presets for each effect

type can be found in the Data List (pdf).

12 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Memory

Memory

In addition to original Performances, you can configure a wide range of other parameters on your stage

piano. The methods used to organize this important data and the memory areas where it is stored are

described below.

Internal Memory

User Memory

User Memory is used to store the Performances that come preset on your stage piano, in addition to Utility

settings, which affect the instrument as a whole. This memory area supports both writing and deleting of

data, and it retains its content when the instrument is turned off.

Edit buffer

The Edit buffer is a work area used to store the Performance that is currently being edited. When the

instrument is turned off, the content of this temporary buffer is lost. In order, therefore, to retain any edits

made to a Performance, it must be stored in User Memory before selecting a different Performance or

turning off the stage piano.

Recall and Compare buffers

The Recall buffer serves as backup memory for the Edit buffer. Edits made to a Performance are normally

lost if not stored before selecting a different Performance; however, the Recall function can be used to

restore the edited Performance to the Edit buffer. Meanwhile, the Compare buffer is used to store the state of

a Performance’s settings prior to their being edited. You can then use the Compare Performance function to

toggle between the edited and unedited versions of the Performance in order to determine which one

sounds better. The content of both the Recall and Compare buffers is lost when the instrument is turned off.

NOTE For more details on the Recall function, refer to the description of the Recall screen (page 26) from the Performance Job area.

NOTE For more details on comparing Performances, refer to the description of the Compare Performance function (page 30).

Performances

A Performance is made up of a number of Voices — up to three on the CP4 STAGE and two on the

CP40 STAGE. As such, each one can produce rich, dense sounds. If you connect a computer or

another MIDI instrument to your stage piano, you can use its Performances to play received MIDI

data. In addition, you can also edit Performance parameters, creating your own original

Performances based on the stage piano’s presets. The following section will describe the various

parameters that can be used in Performance editing, in addition to the Store Performance and

Compare Performance functions.

Editing Performances

Performance editing is carried out in two areas: the Common Edit area is used to edit parameters

that affect all Parts, and the Part Edit area is used to edit parameters for individual Parts.

Common Edit Area

NOTE The Edit menu is the first screen displayed when the [EDIT] button is pressed.

(Velocity Sensitivity

Depth)

This parameter can be used to select how the velocities with which keys are

played will affect the velocities actually output to the tone generator for the

current Part. As shown in the graph below, the larger the value set, the

greater the degree to which output velocities vary in response to changes in

the playing velocity (i.e., the steeper the slope of the graph). If a value of 0 is

set, the output velocities will be totally unaffected by different playing

velocities, resulting in an response similar to that of an organ, where playing

strength has practically no effect on the sound produced.

Settings: 0 to 127

(Velocity Sensitivity

Offset)

This parameter can be used to raise or lower all velocities output to the tone

generator for the current Part. As shown in the graphs, 64 is subtracted from

the value set here and the result is doubled to determine the actual amount

by which the output velocities are adjusted. However, if the resultant output

velocity is less than 0, a value of 0 is used; similarly, if the resultant output

velocity is greater than 127, a value of 127 is used.

Settings: 0 to 127

(Note Shift)

This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the current Part in

semitone units.

Settings: -24 to +0 to +24

This parameter can be used to fine tune the pitch of the current Part in units

of 0.1 Hz.

Settings: -12.8Hz to +0.0Hz to +12.7Hz

(Pitch Bend Range)

This parameter can be used to set the degree to which the pitch bend wheel

changes the pitch of the current Part in semitone units. If, for example, a

value of “12” is set, it will be possible to bend notes by between -12

semitones (one octave lower) and +12 semitones (one octave higher).

Settings: 0 to 12

(Microtuning)

This parameter can be used to select a musical tuning system. In total, your

stage piano can replicate seven different systems. While the equal

temperament tuning system has now become standard for pianos, a wide

number of other systems were developed over the years before it was

adopted, and these systems invariably paved the way for the birth of new

musical styles. By selecting different tuning systems, you can enjoy the

unique harmonics of music from the corresponding periods.

Settings: Equal, PureMajor, PureMinor, Pythagorean, Meantone, Werckmeister, and

Kirnberger

Equal (equal temperament)

The range of pitches in each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each

half-step evenly spaced in pitch. Today, this is by far the most popular tuning system

for pianos.

Pure Major and Pure Minor

These two tuning systems preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale,

especially for triadic chords (comprising the root, third, and fifth). These

characteristics can still be heard today in vocal harmonies — such as choirs and

a cappella singing.

Pythagorean

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher Pythagoras and is created

from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The thirds in

this tuning are slightly unstable, but the fourths and fifths are beautiful and suitable for

some leads.

Meantone

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale by making the

major third interval smoother. It was especially popular from the latter part of the 16

century to the end of the 18

century, with Handel being one of its most notable users.

Werckmeister and Kirnberger

The Werckmeister and Kirnberger scales improve the meantone and Pythagorean

scales by combining them in different ways. Both are uniquely characterized by the

way in which modulation can change the nuances of musical compositions. Often

used in the eras of Bach and Beethoven, they are still employed today to reproduce

the music of those periods on the harpsichord.

NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

(Microtuning Root)

Certain tuning systems require a root note to be set, and this parameter can

be used to do so for the current Part.

Settings: C to B

NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

(Portamento Switch)

This parameter can be used to set whether portamento is to be applied to

the current Part.

Settings: off and on

NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

(Portamento Time)

This parameter can be used to set the duration of portamento pitch changes

for the current Part. The larger the setting, the longer it will take for the pitch

to change.

Settings: 0 to 127

NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

(Portamento Mode)

This parameter can be used to set the type of notes to which portamento will

be applied for the current Part.

Settings: finger and full

finger: Portamento will be applied only to notes that are played legato — that is, when

the first key is not released until after playing the second.

full: Portamento will be applied to all notes.

NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

This parameter can be used to change the speed at which the LFO signal

changes. The larger the setting, the faster the changes.

Settings: -64 to +63

Compare Performance Function

Using the Compare Performance function, you can compare the Performance currently being

edited with its unedited version. An area of memory known as the Compare buffer (page 12) is used

to maintain a copy of the unedited version of the current Performance. As described below, this

allows you to toggle between the edited and unedited versions of the Performance in order to

determine which one sounds better.

NOTE The content of the Compare buffer is lost when the instrument is turned off.

The following screenshots illustrate how, for example, the Compare Performance function can be

used when editing Part parameters on the Play Mode screen from the Performance Part Edit area.

Editing parameters:

Unedited version of Performance in Compare mode:

Edit symbol ( )

This symbol is displayed when the current Performance has been edited but not yet stored.

Compare symbol ( )

This symbol is displayed when Compare mode is active. At this time, the parameters will show their

unedited settings. In addition, the [EDIT] button will flash while comparing, and it can be pressed

once again to cancel this mode and return to the edited version of the Performance.

NOTE It is not possible to select a different Performance or to edit Performance parameters while in Compare

mode (i.e., while the Compare symbol is displayed at the top-right of the screen).

File Area

In the File area, you can save Performances created using your stage piano on a USB flash-

memory device, and read data from this type of device. To return to the Performance screen from

the File area, press the [EXIT] button.

File-related terms

A number of terms will be used in the following descriptions of File area functions and operations.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with their meanings in order that these functions and

operations can be more easily understood.

File

The term “file” is used to define a collection of data stored on a memory medium. Data saved to a

USB flash-memory device by your stage piano or a computer takes the form of files, and this format

is also used when reading data back from a USB flash-memory device. A file is identified by a file

name and an extension, as described below.

File name

On the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE, files can be assigned a name containing up to eight

alphanumeric characters and symbols. These names are used to tell files apart, and for this reason,

no two files within a specific directory can share the same file name. Computers are capable of

handling very long file names that can even include non-English characters, but on your

CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE, non-English characters will be replaced with symbols and long names

will be truncated to six or seven characters.

Extension

The three letters following the period at the end of a file name — such as “.mid” and “.wav” — are

referred to as a file extension. The type of data contained within a file is identified by its extension,

and it is not possible to specify or change an extension using the CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE.

File size

The amount of memory needed to store a file is indicated by the file size. These sizes as well as the

capacities of memory devices are presented in standard computer format using B (bytes), KB (kilo

bytes), MB (mega bytes), and GB (giga bytes). (1 KB is equivalent to 1,024 bytes; 1 MB is

equivalent to 1,024 KB; and 1 GB is equivalent to 1,024 MB.)

Directory

A hierarchical system of directories is used on USB flash-memory devices in order to group files

together according to type or application. In this regard, directories are equivalent to the folders

used on a computer. As with files, you can assign names to individual directories, but directories do

not have extensions.

Root directory

The directory initially displayed when you open a USB flash-memory device on a computer or the

like is referred to as the root directory.

Mounted

A USB flash-memory device is said to be mounted when it has been connected to the instrument,

the instrument has identified it, and it is ready for use. Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE will

automatically mount a USB flash-memory device whenever plugged into the [TO DEVICE] USB

terminal. Incidentally, a device that is no longer mounted is said to be unmounted.

Formatting

The operation of initializing a USB flash-memory device is referred to as formatting. Whenever you

format such a device, all of its files and directories (or folders) will be erased.

Save and load

The term “save” refers to the writing of data to a USB flash-memory device for storage, while “load”

refers to the reading of files from this type of device into the instrument’s internal memory. In

contrast, the term “store” is used to refer to writing of data to the internal memory.

File functions

A total of six different functions can be executed from the File area — Save, Load, Rename, Delete,

Format, and Memory Info.

NOTE The functions from the File area can be used only with All-type files, which have a .C7A (CP4 STAGE) or

.C8A (CP40 STAGE) file extension. They cannot be used to process audio files, which have a .wav file

extension.

01: Save

The Save function is used to store all data from the instrument’s User Memory in the form of an All-

type file. This file must be saved to the USB flash-memory device’s root directory, and it will be

given a .C7A (CP4 STAGE) or .C8A (CP40 STAGE) file extension.

NOTE Before carrying out the steps described below, ensure that the USB flash-memory device is plugged

into the instrument’s [TO DEVICE] USB terminal. If this is not the case, the instrument will display the

message “USB device not ready” instead of the Save screen.

NOTE The File menu is the first screen displayed when the [FILE] button is pressed.

NOTE Before executing File functions, the instrument will display the Confirmation popup to confirm that you

wish to proceed (“Are you sure?”). You can press the [+1/YES] button to execute the File function or the

[-1/NO] button to return to the previous screen without doing so.

01: Save selected in Step 2:

This parameter is used to enter a name (between the square brackets) for the file to be saved to the

USB flash-memory device. Move the flashing cursor within the name field using the [ ] and [ ]

buttons, and change the character at each position using the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons or the

Data Dial. Files can be named using alphanumeric characters and symbols, and they can be up to

eight characters long.

Are you sure?

This message is displayed before executing the Save function. Press the [+1/YES] button to save

your data. Alternatively, press the [-1/NO] button to return to the previous screen. To cancel saving,

press the [EXIT] button while the “Now saving...” message is displayed.

NOTE If a file with the same name as the one entered on the Save screen already exists on the USB flash-

memory device, the instrument will display the message “Overwrite?” to confirm whether that file should

be overwritten.

Procedure 1. Press the [FILE] button.

2. On the File menu, press the [ ] button to select 01: Save, and then press the [ENTER] button.

3. Use the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons or the Data Dial to enter a file name, and then press the

[ENTER] button.

01: General

The General screen is primarily used to configure the instrument’s tone generator.

Parameter name Description

(Master Tuning)

This parameter can be used to adjust the tuning of all sounds produced by

the tone generator in units of one cent.

Settings: -102.4 (414.7Hz) to +0.0 (440.0Hz) to +102.3 (466.8Hz)

NOTE The stage piano’s default tuning is 440 Hz (for A3), and 3 to 4 cents is roughly

equivalent to 1 Hz.

(Master Transpose)

This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the keyboard in steps of

one semitone.

Settings: -12 to +0 to +12

NOTE If the current settings require the instrument to play a note outside the range

of frequencies it can reproduce, a note one octave higher or lower will be

played instead.

NOTE The Tr nsps setting can also be adjusted using the [-] and [+] TRANSPOSE

buttons from the control panel.

(Velocity Curve)

This parameter can be used to select a curve for determining how the actual

velocities will be generated according to the strength with which you play

notes on the keyboard.

Settings: normal, narrow, wide1, wide2, and fixed

normal: The Normal curve produces velocities in direct proportion to the strength of

your keyboard playing.

narrow: The Soft curve makes it easier to produce high velocities across the entire

keyboard.

wide1: The Hard curve makes it more difficult to produce high velocities across the

entire keyboard.

wide2: The Wide curve accentuates your playing strength by producing lower

velocities in response to softer playing and louder velocities in response to harder

playing. As such, you can use this setting to expand the dynamic range of your

performances.

fixed: The Fixed curve can be used to send a fixed velocity to the tone generator

regardless of how hard or soft you play the keyboard. The actual velocity to be sent

can be set using the following FixedVel parameter.

(Fixed Velocity)

The Fixed curve can be used to send this fixed velocity to the tone

generator regardless of how hard or soft you play the keyboard. (This

parameter can be set only when VelCurve has been set to “fixed”.)

Settings: 1 to 127

NOTE When VelCurve is not set to “fixed”, this parameter’s setting is displayed as

“---”.

This parameter can be used to adjust the volume at which the instrument will

play audio files from a USB flash-memory device.

Settings: 0 to 127

NOTE Normally, when this parameter is set to “127” for audio files recorded using

the stage piano, they will be played back at the actual recording volume. This

does not apply, however, to audio files that have been normalized or

processed in another similar way.

(Audio Recording

Precount)

This parameter can be used to set the number of precount beats played

before recording starts.

Settings: off and 1meas to 8meas

(Audio Recording

Auto Click)

This parameter can be used to specify whether the metronome should

automatically start to play at the beginning of recording.

Settings: off and on

02: MIDI

The MIDI screen is used to set the instrument’s MIDI-related parameters.

NOTE Refer to the Appendix section (page 50) for more details regarding MIDI.

Parameter name Description

(MIDI IN/OUT)

This parameter can be used to set the interface used for exchanging MIDI

messages.

Settings: MIDI and USB

MIDI: MIDI messages will be exchanged via the [IN] and [OUT] MIDI terminals.

USB: MIDI messages will be exchanged via the [TO HOST] USB terminal.

NOTE It is not possible to exchange MIDI messages with another instrument via the

MIDI and USB interfaces at the same time. Be sure, therefore, to set this

parameter correctly in accordance with your equipment setup.

(Local Switch)

This parameter can be used to turn local control on and off. When “off” is

selected, the stage piano’s tone generator is essentially disconnected from

its controllers, and no sound will be produced in response to playing of the

keyboard. The stage piano does, however, continue to transmit MIDI

messages when LocalSw has been set to “off”, and the tone generator will

continue to produce sound in response to received MIDI messages.

Settings: off (disconnected) and on (connected)

(Transmit & Receive

Switch)

This parameter can be used to specify whether Bank Select and Program

Change MIDI messages are to be exchanged between the stage piano and

other MIDI devices.

Settings: off, pgm, and bank&pgm

off: Neither Bank Select nor Program Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and

received.

pgm (Program Change): Program Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and

received, but Bank Select MIDI messages will not.

bank&pgm (Bank Select & Program Change): Both Bank Select and Program

Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and received.

(MIDI Synchronization)

This parameter can be used to specify whether metronome playback or

tempo-dependent effect parameters should be controlled based on the

stage piano’s internal clock or on external clock messages received from a

DAW application on a connected computer or from a connected MIDI

device.

Settings: int, ext, and auto

int (internal): Synchronization is based on the internal clock. Use this setting when

your stage piano is to be used alone or as the master clock source for other

equipment.

ext (external): Synchronization is based on clock messages received via MIDI. Use

this setting when an external device is to be used as master.

auto: Clock messages received via MIDI will be prioritized over the stage piano’s

current tempo. If no such messages are received, synchronization will be based on

the internal clock set to the last tempo received via MIDI.

NOTE When this parameter is set to “ext”, you will need to configure your DAW

application or external MIDI device to send MIDI Clock messages to the CP4

STAGE or CP40 STAGE.

(MIDI Clock Out)

This parameter can be used to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the sending of

MIDI Clock messages (i.e., F8 Timing Clock) via the MIDI [OUT] terminal.

Settings: on and off

(Basic Channel)

This parameter can be used to set the channel for transmission and

reception of Performance changes.

Settings: 1 to 16 and off

NOTE Irrespective of this parameter’s setting, the channels for transmission and

reception of Part changes are permanently set to channels 1 to 3 for the CP4

STAGE or channels 1 and 2 for the CP40 STAGE.

03: Controller

The Controller screen is used to set controller assignments that affect all of the instrument’s

performances. Controllers connected to the stage piano can be assigned MIDI control change

numbers. This allows you to, for example, change the intensity of an effect or apply modulation

using a controller.

NOTE An external sequencer or MIDI controller can be used to control parameters for which the stage piano

does not have its own external controller.

(Device Number)

This parameter can be used to set a MIDI device number for the stage

piano. In order to successfully exchange bulk data, parameter changes, or

other system exclusive messages with another MIDI device, this number

must match the device’s.

Settings: 1 to 16, all, and off

NOTE When this parameter is set to “all”, Device Number 1 is used for bulk data sent

from the stage piano.

Parameter name Description

(Foot Switch Sustain

Select)

This parameter can be used to specify the type of foot switch connected to

the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel.

If using an FC3A (included): Select “FC3 Half On” when you wish to use the

half-damper playing technique and “FC3 HalfOff” when you do not.

If using an FC4A or FC5 (optional): Select “FC4/5”. (Half-damper playing is

not possible with these foot switches.)

Settings: FC3 Half On, FC3 HalfOff, and FC4/5

NOTE Half-damper playing is also possible using Control Change messages from

another MIDI device. In such a case, there is no need to set the Sustain

parameter.

(Foot Switch Control

Number)

This parameter can be used to set a control change number for MIDI

messages produced by operating the foot switch connected to the

[ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack. When MIDI messages with this control

change number are received from another MIDI device, the stage piano

treats them as if they had been produced by the foot switch.

Settings: off, 01 to 95, 98 (Play/Stop), 99 (PC Inc), and 100 (PC Dec)

NOTE If you set FS to “98 (Play/Stop)” and have an FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch

connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack, you will be able to

start and stop playback of audio files from a USB flash-memory device using

the foot switch. Alternatively, you can set FS to “99 (PC Inc)” or

“100 (PC Dec)” to change Performance numbers with the foot switch.

The following screenshot illustrates a typical setting.

Controller number [Controller name]

This setting shows the selected control change

number together with the corresponding controller

name in square brackets.

CP4 STAGE:

(Foot Controller 1

Control Number)

This parameter can be used to specify the control change number for MIDI

messages produced in response to operation of the foot controller

connected via the [1] FOOT CONTROLLER jack. Any MIDI messages

received from an external source with this control change number will also

be treated as if they had been produced by Foot Controller 1.

Settings: off and 00 to 95

NOTE Settings of “00” and “32” have no effect on the instrument and do not

generate MIDI data.

05: Master EQ

The Master EQ screen can be used to adjust the tone of all Performances. The master equalizer on

the CP4 STAGE has five frequency bands (Low, LowMid, Mid, HighMid, and High), while that on the

CP40 STAGE has three (Low, Mid, and High). Using the parameters on this screen, you can

increase or decrease the level of signals in each of these bands.

Parameter name Description

These parameters can be used to select a shelving type or peaking type

response for each of the equalizer’s Low and High bands. When set to

“shelv”, signals at all frequencies either above (High band) or below (Low

band) the specified frequency will be uniformly boosted or cut. Meanwhile,

when set to “peak”, signals around each band’s center frequency will be

boosted in a localized fashion.

Settings: shelv (shelving type) and peak (peaking type)

shelv

peak

(Frequency)

These parameters can be used to set the center frequency of each band —

that is, the frequency at which the signal will be boosted or cut.

Settings:

Low band: 32Hz to 2.0kHz for shelving; 63Hz to 2.0kHz for peaking

LowMid, Mid, and HighMid bands: 100Hz to 10kHz

High band: 500Hz to 16kHz

NOTE LowMid and HighMid settings apply to the CP4 STAGE only.

(Resonance)

This parameter can be used to set the width of boosting or cutting around

the frequency set using Freq. As such, it can create a range of frequency

characteristic curves. If you set a large value, a narrower band of

frequencies will be boosted or cut, and the tone will change markedly

around the center frequency. If you set a smaller value, a wider band of

frequencies will be boosted or cut, and the tone will change more gradually

around the center frequency.

Settings: 0.1 to 12.0

NOTE The Q parameter cannot be set for the Low and High bands when their

respective Shape parameters have been set to “shelv”, and its setting is

displayed as “---” in such a case.

Appendix

MIDI

Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is a global standard designed to allow performance, voice, and other data to

be transferred between musical instruments. As such, reliable data communication is assured even between musical

instruments and equipment from different manufacturers. In addition to data generated by playing the keyboard or

selecting a Performance, a wide range of other data types — such as tempo and instrument controls — can also be

exchanged via MIDI. Using the powerful functionality provided by this technology, you can not only play other

instruments using your stage piano’s keyboard and controllers, but you can also change pan and reverb settings for

each Part and adjust effect settings. In fact, practically all of the parameters that can be set using the instrument’s control

panel can also be remotely controlled from another MIDI device.

In this section, data and values will be displayed in binary, decimal, and hexadecimal formats. In order to indicate

hexadecimal values, an “H” is displayed in front of or behind the numeric values. Furthermore, “n” is used to represent an

arbitrary integer (or whole number).

MIDI Channels

MIDI data can be transmitted and received on one of

sixteen MIDI channels. Therefore, performance data for

up to sixteen different instrument Parts can be

simultaneously exchanged over a single MIDI cable.

MIDI channels are very similar in nature to TV channels,

in that each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a

specific channel. Your TV, for example, receives many

different programs at the same time from different

broadcasters, and you select which program to watch by

choosing the corresponding channel.

In much the same way, multiple transmitting devices in a

MIDI system can each be set to send data on a separate

channel (i.e., a MIDI Transmit channel), which link with the

system’s receiving devices via MIDI cables. If a receiving

device’s MIDI channel (i.e., a MIDI Receive channel)

matches a MIDI Transmit channel, the receiving device

will produce sound in response to the data sent by the

corresponding transmitting device.

NOTE MIDI transmit and receive channels on the CP4 STAGE

and CP40 STAGE are set as follows for each Part.

CP4 STAGE:

MAIN Part: Channel 1 is used for both transmission and

reception.

LAYER Part: Channel 2 is used for both transmission and

reception.

SPLIT Part: Channel 3 is used for both transmission and

reception.

CP40 STAGE:

MAIN Part: Channel 1 is used for both transmission and

reception.

SPLIT/LAYER Part: Channel 2 is used for both

transmission and reception.

Supported MIDI message types

Broadly speaking, MIDI messages can be divided into

two groups — channel messages and system messages.

A description of each different type of channel message

and system message supported by the CP4 STAGE and

CP40 STAGE is provided below. Further details can be

found in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation

Chart sections of the Data List pdf.

Channel Messages

MIDI channel messages contain performance-related

information, and each one is sent on a specific MIDI

channel.

 Note On & Note Off

Note On and Note Off messages are generated when a

keyboard is played. Specifically, a Note On message is

produced when a key is pressed; a Note Off message,

when it is released. Each of these messages contains a

specific note number corresponding to the key that was

pressed, in addition to a velocity value indicating how

hard the key was struck. Receivable MIDI note numbers

range from 0 (C-2) to 127 (G8), with middle C (C3)

represented by 60. Receivable velocity values, which are

contained within Note On messages only, range from 1 to

127.

 Control Change

MIDI Control Change messages are used to control

volume, stereo panning, and many other parameters, and

as shown below, each message type has its own unique

control number.

Bank Select MSB (Control No. 0)

Bank Select LSB (Control No. 32)

Bank Select MSB and LSB messages are used to

remotely select Performances and Part Voices from

another MIDI device. The selection will not, however,

become effective until a Program Change message is

subsequently received.

Data Entry MSB (Control No. 6)

Data Entry LSB (Control No. 38)

Data Entry MSB and LSB messages are used to set a

value for the parameter selected using RPN MSB and

RPN LSB messages (see below). The actual value to be

set is determined by combining the MSB and LSB values.

Main Volume (Control No. 7)

Main Volume messages can be used to adjust the volume

of each Part. Setting a value of 127 produces maximum

volume, while 0 silences the Part in question. These

messages can be useful when adjusting the relative

volumes of each Part.

Pan (Control No. 10)

Pan messages can be used to adjust the stereo panning

of each Part. Setting a value of 127 moves the sound fully

to the right, while 0 moves it to the far left and 64 places it

in the middle of the stereo field.

Expression (Control No. 11)

Expression messages can be used to change the level of

expression or intonation of each Part. Setting a value of

127 produces maximum volume, while 0 silences the Part

in question. These messages can be useful when you

wish to adjust the volume to add expression during

performances.

Hold 1 (Control No. 64)

Hold 1 messages can be used to modify the sound of

notes in the same way as a piano’s Sustain (Damper)

pedal. Setting a value between 64 and 127 turns sustain

on (pedal operated), while values between 0 and 63 turn

it off (pedal released). When turned on, notes will sustain

longer than normal after the corresponding Note Off

message is received. The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE

turn sustain fully off only for a Hold 1 value of 0, and

values from 1 to 127 result in increasingly longer sustain

times.

Sostenuto (Control No. 66)

Sostenuto messages can be used to modify the sound of

notes in the same way as a piano’s Sostenuto pedal.

Setting a value between 64 and 127 turns sostenuto on,

while values between 0 and 63 turn it off. If sostenuto is

turned on while the note generated by a specific Note On

message is playing, it will be sustained longer until the

corresponding Note Off message is received.

Soft Pedal (Control No. 67)

Soft Pedal messages can be used to modify the sound of

notes in the same way as a piano’s Soft pedal. Setting a

value between 64 and 127 turns soft on, reducing the

volume and slightly softening the timbre; meanwhile,

values between 0 and 63 turn it off.

Release Time (Control No. 72)

Release Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG

release time for each Part. Values of 0 to 127 correspond

to offset values of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or

increase the release time accordingly.

Decay Time (Control No. 75)

Decay Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG

decay time for each Part. Values of 0 to 127 correspond

to offset values of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or

increase the decay time accordingly. The larger the

value, the longer it takes for the sound to decay after the

initial attack.

Vibrato Rate (Control No. 76)

Vibrato Rate messages can be used to adjust the speed

of each Part’s vibrato effect. Values of 64 leave the Part’s

speed setting unchanged; values larger than 64 produce

faster vibrato speeds and vice-versa.

Vibrato Depth (Control No. 77)

Vibrato Depth messages can be used to adjust the

intensity of each Part’s vibrato effect. Values of 64 leave

the Part’s depth setting unchanged; values larger than 64

produce a more intense vibrato effect and vice-versa.

Vibrato Delay (Control No. 78)

Vibrato Delay messages can be used to adjust how long

after playing a key the onset of vibrato is delayed for

each Part. Values of 64 leave the Part’s delay setting

unchanged; values larger than 64 produce longer delay

times and vice-versa.

Effect 1 Depth (reverb send level)

(Control No. 91)

Effect 1 Depth messages can be used to adjust the

reverb effect’s send level.

Data Increment (Control No. 96)

Data Decrement (Control No. 97)

Data Increment and Data Decrement messages can be

used to increment and decrement pitch bend sensitivity

in steps of 1 (assuming that the parameter has been set

in advance using RPN messages (see below)).

RPN LSB (registered parameter number LSB)

(Control No. 100)

RPN MSB (registered parameter number MSB)

(Control No. 101)

RPN LSB and MSB messages are used primarily to

facilitate the setting of offset values for pitch bend

sensitivity, tuning, and other Part parameters. In specific

terms, the parameter to be modified is first selected

using these messages, and the above-mentioned Data

Increment and Data Decrement messages are then used

to change the parameter setting. It should be noted that,

once an RPN has been set, all subsequent data entry

messages on the same channel will affect the

52 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

Appendix > MIDI

corresponding parameter. After setting a parameter

based on these messages, therefore, it is wise to set the

RPN to Null (7FH, 7FH) in order to avoid unexpected

changes.

Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE supports selection of

the following parameter using RPN LSB and MSB

messages.

 Channel Mode Messages

All Sound Off (Control No. 120)

All Sound Off messages are used to silence all sounds

being generated by the instrument’s Parts. MIDI Channel

messages such as Hold 1 and Sostenuto are retained.

Reset All Controllers (Control No. 121)

A Reset All Controllers message is used to return each of

the following controllers to their default values.

All Notes Off (Control No. 123)

An All Notes Off message is used to turn off all notes for

each Part. If, however, Hold 1 or Sostenuto is turned on at

this time, notes will continue to play until these controllers

are turned off.

Omni Mode Off (Control No. 124)

Omni Mode Off messages have the same effect as an All

Notes Off message.

Omni Mode On (Control No. 125)

Omni Mode On messages have the same effect as an All

Notes Off message.

 Program Change

MIDI Program Change messages are used to select a

different Performance. When combined with Bank Select

MSB and LSB messages, furthermore, it is possible to

select Performances from any of the instrument’s memory

banks via MIDI. A full list of Performances can be found

in the Data List pdf.

NOTE Program change numbers (0 to 127) are one less than

the corresponding number in the Data List (pdf). To

select program No. 16, for example, you would need to

send a message with program change number 15.

 Pitch Bend

Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller

messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be

raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified

duration.

System Messages

Rather than being associated with a specific channel,

MIDI system messages are used for synchronization of

devices and other behavior of the instrument as a whole.

 System Exclusive Messages

Used to perform bulk data dumps and to change

parameters, MIDI system exclusive messages contain a

device number, allowing them to operate as if on a

unique MIDI channel. In order for this type of message to

be exchanged between devices, both the sending and

receiving devices must be set to the same device

number. Using system exclusive messages, you can

control practically every parameter on your stage piano

from another MIDI device.

 System Realtime Messages

Active Sensing (FEH)

Active Sensing is a type of MIDI message used to

prevent unexpected results in the event that a MIDI cable

is disconnected or damaged while the instrument is

being played. Upon the receipt of an Active Sensing

message, the stage piano will begin to monitor the status

of connected MIDI cables. If no MIDI data is received

over the next 300 ms, the stage piano will conclude that a

problem has occurred with a MIDI cable, and in

response, it will act as if an All Notes Off message and a

Reset All Controllers message had been received.

Timing Clock (F8H)

Timing Clock messages are transmitted at a fixed interval

(i.e., 24 times per 1/4 note) to synchronize connected

MIDI instruments. Use the Sync parameter from the Utility

area’s MIDI screen to specify whether the instrument’s

internal clock or Timing Clock messages received via the

MIDI [IN] terminal should be used for synchronization.

Controllers Tone generator Effect unit Controllers In order that it may be played, the instrument features a range of controllers such as the keyboard, pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, and sliders. Performance data reflecting the pitch of each key played and the velocity (or strength) with which it was played is sent to the tone generator in the form of MIDI messages. Data generated by operating the wheels, sliders, pedals, and the like is also sent in the same way. Keyboard The keyboard is the main controller used to send performance information to the tone generator. Using the [-] and [+] TRANSPOSE buttons, you can change the pitches of the keys in semitone units. Pitch Bend Wheel The pitch bend wheel can be used to control the pitch of played notes in a continuously variable manner. Notes are bent upward when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice versa. When you release this wheel, the finger slot at the center will automatically spring back to the original position, and the pitch will return to normal. The pitch-bend range — that is, the degree to which pitches can be varied using this wheel — can be set on the Play Mode screen (page 17) from the Performance Part Edit area. Notes are bent upward Notes are bent downward In addition to pitch bending, you can also assign control of an insertion effect (page 11) parameter to the pitch bend wheel. To do so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. Modulation Wheel The modulation wheel is normally used to add vibrato and other suitable effects to the played notes. The more the finger slot is pushed away from you, the greater the intensity of the effect and vice-versa. The effect is, therefore, minimized when the slot is closest to the front of the instrument. If you do not want to apply the modulation wheel’s effect, it should be returned to this position. In addition to applying modulation, you can also assign control of a parameter from an insertion effect (page 11) to the modulation wheel. To do so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. 4 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Effect becomes more intense Effect becomes less intense Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers Sliders The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE are each equipped with two sets of sliders — the Part sliders and the MASTER EQUALIZER (EQ) sliders. Part sliders Located on the left of the control panel, the Part sliders are used to adjust parameter levels for individual Parts. There is one slider for each of the instrument’s Parts, and they can be used to adjust three parameters — volume, chorus send, and reverb send. To change the parameter currently being adjusted, press the [SLIDER FUNCTION] button located to the right of the sliders the required number of times. Moving the sliders away from you increases the level of the current parameter and vice-versa. NOTE For more details on using the Part sliders, refer to the Quick Start Guide section of the Owner’s Manual. NOTE Operating the Part sliders also changes the settings of the Volume, ChoSend, and RevSend parameters from the Performance Part Edit area’s Play Mode screen (page 17). Parameter level increases Parameter level decreases (Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.) MASTER EQ sliders The master EQ is used to adjust the overall tone of the instrument, and the MASTER EQ sliders control the gain in individual frequency bands. Located on the right of the control panel, each of these sliders is assigned to a different frequency band. Moving a slider away from you increases the gain in the corresponding frequency band and vice-versa. Gain increases Gain decreases (Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.) 5 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers Pedals Two different types of pedal can be used with the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE — foot switches, such as the bundled FC3A and the optional FC4A and FC5, and a foot controller like the optional FC7. Foot switches The FC3A that comes with your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE should be connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack. This allows it to be used in the same way as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, causing the notes played on the keyboard to sustain for longer. Instead of having the foot switch simply turn damping on and off, you can also have the amount of sustain change depending on how much the pedal is operated. This setting is made on the Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. Configured in this way, the piano will produce longer notes when the foot switch is operated by a greater amount and vice-versa. NOTE By default, the Sustain parameter from the Utility area’s Controller screen is set to “FC3 Half On”. The FC4A and FC5 (sold separately) can be connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack so that various functions can be assigned to them. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area, you can assign on/off switching of an insertion effect (page 11) to one of these foot switches. Alternatively, you can assign a MIDI control change number to an FC4A or FC5 on the Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The foot switch will then control the corresponding parameter when operated. It should be noted that the FC4A or FC5 can also be connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack. Foot controller The FC7 Foot Controller (sold separately) can be used to control an assigned parameter: On the CP4 STAGE, the FC7 can be connected via the [1] and [2] FOOT CONTROLLER jacks; on the CP40 STAGE, it can be connected via the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area, you could assign control of a Part’s volume or a parameter from one of the insertion effects (page 11). Alternatively, you could assign a MIDI control change number to an FC7 on the Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The corresponding parameter can then be controlled by operating the foot controller. (Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.) 6 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator Tone Generator The tone generator produces sound based on data received from controllers such as the keyboard and sliders. The basic element of CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE sounds is referred to as a Voice, and Performances are made up of multiple Voices. Both the Voice and the Performance are described below. Voices Each Voice represents a different instrument sound that the CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE can produce. Generally speaking, your stage piano can produce two different types of Voice — Normal and Drum. NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Voices can be found in the Data List (pdf). Normal Voices Normal Voices are primarily used to reproduce the sound of instruments played within a specific musical scale. That is to say, the pitch of these Voices will change based on the key played. Drum Voices Drum Voices are generally used to produce the sounds of percussion instruments. With these Voices, a different drum or percussion instrument sound is assigned to the various keys on the keyboard. For this reason, Drum Voices can also be referred to as drum kits. One Drum Voice (or Drum Kit) Different percussion sound for each key (Illustration shows a typical Drum Voice.) Voice categories The various different Voices on your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE are arranged into a number of categories. Each category represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or organ, or a sound genre. The following table shows these categories, and each contains a number of different Voices. Category 7 On-screen abbreviation Button abbreviation Voice type(s) Acoustic Piano 1 AP1 (CP4 STAGE)/ AP (CP40 STAGE) A.PIANO1 (CP4 STAGE)/ A.PIANO (CP40 STAGE) Normal Acoustic Piano 2 (CP4 STAGE only) AP2 (CP4 STAGE only) A.PIANO2 (CP4 STAGE only) Normal Acoustic Piano 3 (CP4 STAGE only) AP3 (CP4 STAGE only) A.PIANO3 (CP4 STAGE only) Normal Electric Piano 1 EP1 (CP4 STAGE)/ EP (CP40 STAGE) E.PIANO1 (CP4 STAGE)/ E.PIANO (CP40 STAGE) Normal Electric Piano 2 (CP4 STAGE only) EP2 (CP4 STAGE only) E.PIANO2 (CP4 STAGE only) Normal Electric Piano 3 (CP4 STAGE only) EP3 (CP4 STAGE only) E.PIANO3 (CP4 STAGE only) Normal Clav CLV CLAV Normal Organ ORG ORGAN Normal Chromatic Percussion CP CH.PERC Normal Strings STR STRINGS Normal Choir CHO CHOIR Normal Pad PAD PAD Normal Synthesizer SYN SYNTH Normal Brass BRS BRASS Normal Guitar/Bass G/B GUITAR/BASS Normal Others OTH OTHERS Normal and Drum CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator Performances A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and both the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a wide range of Performances ready for use. NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Performances can be found in the Data List (pdf). Parts within a Performance As shown in the illustration below, each CP4 STAGE Performance contains three Parts; each CP40 STAGE Performance, two Parts. A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the Performance. In addition, the Parts that make up a Performance can be overlaid (layering) or divided into separate regions of the keyboard (splitting). CP4 STAGE CP40 STAGE Multiple Performances Multiple Performances One Performance One Performance MAIN Part MAIN Part Piano Piano LAYER Part SPLIT/LAYER Part Organ Bass SPLIT Part Bass Performances and Voices Voices are linked to Performances — that is to say, when you select a new Performance, the Voices for all Parts will change. In addition, if you select a Part and change its Voice, that change will be reflected in the current Performance (see the illustration below for details). Changing Voices in this way is referred to as Performance editing, and this will be described in more detail on the following page. It is important to bear in mind that Performance editing mode is activated as soon as one of the Part Voices is changed. In addition, if you select a different Performance at this time, editing mode for the previous Performance will be cancelled and you will be able to edit the newly selected one.

The process of editing a Performance involves changing its Part’s Voice assignments and various other parameters. Parameters that affect a specific Part are referred to as Part parameters; those affecting all Parts are referred to as Common parameters. NOTE For details on the parameters that can be edited to create Performances, refer to Performance Editing (page 13). Storing Performances internally When you are happy with the Performance that you are editing, it must be stored on the instrument if you intend to use it again at a later date. At this time, you can choose a Performance from the stage piano’s User Memory (page 12) to overwrite with your edited Performance. Alternatively, you can store without specifying a different Performance, and this will result in the current Performance being overwritten. NOTE For details on the procedure for storing Performances, refer to the description of the Store Performance function (page 29). For details on the procedure for renaming a Performance, refer to the description of the Name screen (page 15) from the Performance Common Edit area. Saving Performances externally Performances stored on the stage piano can also be saved to a USB flash-memory device. You will need to carry out this procedure if you create more original Performances than can be stored internally or if you wish to create a backup of your Performances. While Performances can be stored internally on an individual basis, all Performances from User Memory are saved together to a USB flash-memory device as a single Alltype file. The extension .C7A is used for CP4 STAGE Performances; the extension .C8A, for CP40 STAGE Performances. In addition, Performances saved as an All-type file to a USB flash-memory device can be loaded together back into the stage piano. Alternatively, any one of the Performances from the saved file can be selected and loaded individually. NOTE For details on the procedure for saving Performances externally, refer to the description of the Save screen (page 32) from the File area. NOTE For details on the procedure for loading Performances back into the stage piano, refer to the description of the Load screen (page 33) from the File area. 9 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit Effect Unit The effect unit is used to apply a range of different effects to the sounds produced by the tone generator in order, for example, to add thickness, reverb, or a sense of space. In this way, the effect unit can make your stage piano sound much more expressive. Makeup of Effects The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature insertion effects for use with individual Parts, system effects that can be configured for each Performance, and a master compressor and master EQ that affect all Performances in the same way. Voices produced by the tone generator are processed by the insertion effects, the system effects, and the master compressor and master EQ in that order, before being output via your amplifier and speakers. CP4 STAGE Audio signal path One Performance Insertion effects MAIN Part Piano A System effects B Chorus Insertion effects LAYER Part Organ A B Master compressor Master equalizer Master compressor Master equalizer Reverb SPLIT Part Bass The Part sliders can be used to adjust chorus and reverb send levels for each Part. CP40 STAGE One Performance MAIN Part Piano Insertion effects A System effects B Chorus SPLIT/LAYER Part Bass Insertion effects A Reverb B The Part sliders can be used to adjust chorus and reverb send levels for each Part. 10 Insertion effects System effects Master compressor and EQ • Applied to up to two individual Parts in each Performance. • Each contains two independent effects, A and B. • Configured using the Effect-A and Effect-B screens (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. • Applied to individual Performances. • Configured using the Chorus Effect and Reverb Effect screens (page 14) from the Performance Common Edit area. • Applied to all Performances. • Master compressor configured using the MasterComp screen (page 44) from the Utility area. • Master EQ configured using the Master EQ screen (page 46) from the Utility area. CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit Insertion effects Assigned to individual Parts, insertion effects process the sound of the corresponding Voice. Two are available for use in a Performance, each containing two independent effects, A and B. Parameters for these effects can be set on the Effect-A and Effect-B screens (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. In addition, the insertion effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [A] and [B] PART EFFECT buttons from the control panel. System effects The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature chorus and reverb as system effects. Because these operate as send-type effects, audio signals corresponding to the send levels set for each Part are sent together to the chorus and reverb units, which each output a single processed audio signal. Parameters for chorus and reverb can be set on the Chorus Effect and Reverb Effect screens (page 14) from the Performance Common Edit area. In addition, the system effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [CHORUS] and [REVERB] SYSTEM EFFECT buttons from the control panel. NOTE Send levels for each Part can be adjusted using the Part sliders (page 5). Master compressor The master compressor modifies the overall sound of the stage piano, and therefore, the same parameters apply to all Performances. These parameters can be set on the MasterComp screen (page 44) from the Utility area. In addition, the master compressor can be conveniently turned on and off using the [MASTER COMP] button from the control panel. Master equalizer The master equalizer adjusts the overall sound of the stage piano just before it is output. On the CP4 STAGE, the master EQ features five frequency bands; on the CP40 STAGE, it has three. The MASTER EQ sliders located at the right of the control panel can be used to adjust the gain in each band. Moving a slider away from you increases the gain in the corresponding frequency band and vice-versa. On both the CP4 STAGE and the CP40 STAGE, the Low and High bands can be switched between peaking and shelving types. Master EQ parameters are set on the Master EQ screen (page 46) from the Utility area. Effect categories, types, and parameters Details on the categories of effect available on the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE as well as their types and parameters can be found in the Effect Type List and Effect Parameter List sections of the Data List (pdf). In addition, these effect categories, types, and parameters are described in detail in the Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf). Preset programs For each effect type, parameter settings suitable for various different modes of use have been prepared as preset programs. Instead of configuring effects from scratch, you can save considerable time by selecting the preset program that best matches the current Voices or style of music and then tweaking to suit your specific needs. Preset programs can be selected using Preset from effect-parameter editing screens. A full list of presets for each effect type can be found in the Data List (pdf). 11 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Memory Memory In addition to original Performances, you can configure a wide range of other parameters on your stage piano. The methods used to organize this important data and the memory areas where it is stored are described below. Internal Memory Internal data transfer Exchange of data with other devices Memory Bulk Dump Recall buffer Compare buffer MIDI device or computer (DAW application) Utility Edit buffer • Utility setting User Memory • Performances • Utility area settings Load and save data (using the File area) Edit buffer • Performance editing Store data (using the [STORE] button) Bulk Dump USB flash-memory device All-type file (containing all data from User Memory) File extension: .C7A (for CP4 STAGE) or .C8A (for CP40 STAGE) User Memory User Memory is used to store the Performances that come preset on your stage piano, in addition to Utility settings, which affect the instrument as a whole. This memory area supports both writing and deleting of data, and it retains its content when the instrument is turned off. Edit buffer The Edit buffer is a work area used to store the Performance that is currently being edited. When the instrument is turned off, the content of this temporary buffer is lost. In order, therefore, to retain any edits made to a Performance, it must be stored in User Memory before selecting a different Performance or turning off the stage piano. Recall and Compare buffers The Recall buffer serves as backup memory for the Edit buffer. Edits made to a Performance are normally lost if not stored before selecting a different Performance; however, the Recall function can be used to restore the edited Performance to the Edit buffer. Meanwhile, the Compare buffer is used to store the state of a Performance’s settings prior to their being edited. You can then use the Compare Performance function to toggle between the edited and unedited versions of the Performance in order to determine which one sounds better. The content of both the Recall and Compare buffers is lost when the instrument is turned off. NOTE For more details on the Recall function, refer to the description of the Recall screen (page 26) from the Performance Job area. NOTE For more details on comparing Performances, refer to the description of the Compare Performance function (page 30). 12 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Reference Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE Reference Performances Performances A Performance is made up of a number of Voices — up to three on the CP4 STAGE and two on the CP40 STAGE. As such, each one can produce rich, dense sounds. If you connect a computer or another MIDI instrument to your stage piano, you can use its Performances to play received MIDI data. In addition, you can also edit Performance parameters, creating your own original Performances based on the stage piano’s presets. The following section will describe the various parameters that can be used in Performance editing, in addition to the Store Performance and Compare Performance functions.

Appendix 17 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE Parameter name Description VelDepth This parameter can be used to select how the velocities with which keys are played will affect the velocities actually output to the tone generator for the current Part. As shown in the graph below, the larger the value set, the greater the degree to which output velocities vary in response to changes in the playing velocity (i.e., the steeper the slope of the graph). If a value of 0 is set, the output velocities will be totally unaffected by different playing velocities, resulting in an response similar to that of an organ, where playing strength has practically no effect on the sound produced. (Velocity Sensitivity Depth) Reference Performances Editing Performances Common Edit Area 01: Chorus Effect Settings: 0 to 127 When VelOfst (below) is set to 64: VelDepth = 127 127 02: Reverb Effect VelDepth = 64 03: General 04: Name Velocity actually output to tone generator VelDepth = 32 Part Edit Area 0 127 Velocity with which key is played VelOfst (Velocity Sensitivity Offset) 01: Play Mode VelDepth = 0 02: Filter/EG This parameter can be used to raise or lower all velocities output to the tone generator for the current Part. As shown in the graphs, 64 is subtracted from the value set here and the result is doubled to determine the actual amount by which the output velocities are adjusted. However, if the resultant output velocity is less than 0, a value of 0 is used; similarly, if the resultant output velocity is greater than 127, a value of 127 is used. Settings: 0 to 127 When VelDepth (above) = 64 and VelOfst = 32 127 127 Velocity actually output to tone generator 0 When VelDepth (above) = 64 and VelOfst = 96 127 Velocity with which key is played 0 05: Controller 06: Receive Switch Master Keyboard Area Job Area 01: Recall 02: Copy Velocity actually output to tone generator 64 03: Effect-A 04: Effect-B 03: Bulk Store Performance Function 64 127 Velocity with which key is played Compare Performance Function File Area 01: Save When VelDepth (above) = 64 and VelOfst = 64 127 Velocity actually output to tone generator 02: Load 03: Rename 04: Delete 05: Format 06: Memory Info 0 64 127 Velocity with which key is played NoteShft (Note Shift) This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the current Part in semitone units. Utility Area 01: General 02: MIDI Settings: -24 to +0 to +24 03: Controller Detune PBRange (Pitch Bend Range) This parameter can be used to fine tune the pitch of the current Part in units of 0.1 Hz. 04: MasterComp Settings: -12.8Hz to +0.0Hz to +12.7Hz 05: Master EQ This parameter can be used to set the degree to which the pitch bend wheel changes the pitch of the current Part in semitone units. If, for example, a value of “12” is set, it will be possible to bend notes by between -12 semitones (one octave lower) and +12 semitones (one octave higher). 06: Panel Lock Settings: 0 to 12 Utility Job Area 01: Factory Set 02: Version Appendix 18 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Parameter name Description MicroTune This parameter can be used to select a musical tuning system. In total, your stage piano can replicate seven different systems. While the equal temperament tuning system has now become standard for pianos, a wide number of other systems were developed over the years before it was adopted, and these systems invariably paved the way for the birth of new musical styles. By selecting different tuning systems, you can enjoy the unique harmonics of music from the corresponding periods. (Microtuning) Settings: Equal, PureMajor, PureMinor, Pythagorean, Meantone, Werckmeister, and Kirnberger Equal (equal temperament) The range of pitches in each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. Today, this is by far the most popular tuning system for pianos. Pure Major and Pure Minor These two tuning systems preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triadic chords (comprising the root, third, and fifth). These characteristics can still be heard today in vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing. Pythagorean This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher Pythagoras and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The thirds in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the fourths and fifths are beautiful and suitable for some leads. Meantone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale by making the major third interval smoother. It was especially popular from the latter part of the 16th century to the end of the 18th century, with Handel being one of its most notable users. Werckmeister and Kirnberger The Werckmeister and Kirnberger scales improve the meantone and Pythagorean scales by combining them in different ways. Both are uniquely characterized by the way in which modulation can change the nuances of musical compositions. Often used in the eras of Bach and Beethoven, they are still employed today to reproduce the music of those periods on the harpsichord. NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is displayed as “---” in such a case. Root (Microtuning Root) Certain tuning systems require a root note to be set, and this parameter can be used to do so for the current Part.

To return to the Performance screen from the File area, press the [EXIT] button. Reference Performances Editing Performances File-related terms Common Edit Area A number of terms will be used in the following descriptions of File area functions and operations. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with their meanings in order that these functions and operations can be more easily understood. 01: Chorus Effect File 03: General The term “file” is used to define a collection of data stored on a memory medium. Data saved to a USB flash-memory device by your stage piano or a computer takes the form of files, and this format is also used when reading data back from a USB flash-memory device. A file is identified by a file name and an extension, as described below. File name On the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE, files can be assigned a name containing up to eight alphanumeric characters and symbols. These names are used to tell files apart, and for this reason, no two files within a specific directory can share the same file name. Computers are capable of handling very long file names that can even include non-English characters, but on your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE, non-English characters will be replaced with symbols and long names will be truncated to six or seven characters. 02: Reverb Effect 04: Name Part Edit Area 01: Play Mode 02: Filter/EG 03: Effect-A 04: Effect-B 05: Controller 06: Receive Switch Master Keyboard Area Extension The three letters following the period at the end of a file name — such as “.mid” and “.wav” — are referred to as a file extension. The type of data contained within a file is identified by its extension, and it is not possible to specify or change an extension using the CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE. File size The amount of memory needed to store a file is indicated by the file size. These sizes as well as the capacities of memory devices are presented in standard computer format using B (bytes), KB (kilo bytes), MB (mega bytes), and GB (giga bytes). (1 KB is equivalent to 1,024 bytes; 1 MB is equivalent to 1,024 KB; and 1 GB is equivalent to 1,024 MB.) Directory A hierarchical system of directories is used on USB flash-memory devices in order to group files together according to type or application. In this regard, directories are equivalent to the folders used on a computer. As with files, you can assign names to individual directories, but directories do not have extensions. Job Area 01: Recall 02: Copy 03: Bulk Store Performance Function Compare Performance Function File Area 01: Save 02: Load 03: Rename 04: Delete Root directory 05: Format The directory initially displayed when you open a USB flash-memory device on a computer or the like is referred to as the root directory. 06: Memory Info Utility Area Mounted A USB flash-memory device is said to be mounted when it has been connected to the instrument, the instrument has identified it, and it is ready for use. Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE will automatically mount a USB flash-memory device whenever plugged into the [TO DEVICE] USB terminal. Incidentally, a device that is no longer mounted is said to be unmounted. Formatting The operation of initializing a USB flash-memory device is referred to as formatting. Whenever you format such a device, all of its files and directories (or folders) will be erased. Save and load The term “save” refers to the writing of data to a USB flash-memory device for storage, while “load” refers to the reading of files from this type of device into the instrument’s internal memory. In contrast, the term “store” is used to refer to writing of data to the internal memory. 01: General 02: MIDI 03: Controller 04: MasterComp 05: Master EQ 06: Panel Lock Utility Job Area 01: Factory Set 02: Version Appendix 31 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual File functions Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE A total of six different functions can be executed from the File area — Save, Load, Rename, Delete, Format, and Memory Info. NOTE The functions from the File area can be used only with All-type files, which have a .C7A (CP4 STAGE) or .C8A (CP40 STAGE) file extension.

Sync 02: Reverb Effect This parameter can be used to specify whether metronome playback or tempo-dependent effect parameters should be controlled based on the stage piano’s internal clock or on external clock messages received from a DAW application on a connected computer or from a connected MIDI device. Settings: int, ext, and auto int (internal): Synchronization is based on the internal clock. Use this setting when your stage piano is to be used alone or as the master clock source for other equipment. ext (external): Synchronization is based on clock messages received via MIDI. Use this setting when an external device is to be used as master. auto: Clock messages received via MIDI will be prioritized over the stage piano’s current tempo. If no such messages are received, synchronization will be based on the internal clock set to the last tempo received via MIDI.

As such, reliable data communication is assured even between musical instruments and equipment from different manufacturers. In addition to data generated by playing the keyboard or selecting a Performance, a wide range of other data types — such as tempo and instrument controls — can also be exchanged via MIDI. Using the powerful functionality provided by this technology, you can not only play other instruments using your stage piano’s keyboard and controllers, but you can also change pan and reverb settings for each Part and adjust effect settings. In fact, practically all of the parameters that can be set using the instrument’s control panel can also be remotely controlled from another MIDI device. In this section, data and values will be displayed in binary, decimal, and hexadecimal formats. In order to indicate hexadecimal values, an “H” is displayed in front of or behind the numeric values. Furthermore, “n” is used to represent an arbitrary integer (or whole number). NOTE MIDI transmit and receive channels on the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE are set as follows for each Part. MIDI Channels MIDI data can be transmitted and received on one of sixteen MIDI channels. Therefore, performance data for up to sixteen different instrument Parts can be simultaneously exchanged over a single MIDI cable. MIDI channels are very similar in nature to TV channels, in that each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel. Your TV, for example, receives many different programs at the same time from different broadcasters, and you select which program to watch by choosing the corresponding channel. CP4 STAGE: MAIN Part: Channel 1 is used for both transmission and reception. LAYER Part: Channel 2 is used for both transmission and reception. SPLIT Part: Channel 3 is used for both transmission and reception. CP40 STAGE: MAIN Part: Channel 1 is used for both transmission and reception. SPLIT/LAYER Part: Channel 2 is used for both transmission and reception. Weather forecast Supported MIDI message types News 2 1 News 2 In much the same way, multiple transmitting devices in a MIDI system can each be set to send data on a separate channel (i.e., a MIDI Transmit channel), which link with the system’s receiving devices via MIDI cables. If a receiving device’s MIDI channel (i.e., a MIDI Receive channel) matches a MIDI Transmit channel, the receiving device will produce sound in response to the data sent by the corresponding transmitting device. Broadly speaking, MIDI messages can be divided into two groups — channel messages and system messages. A description of each different type of channel message and system message supported by the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE is provided below. Further details can be found in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart sections of the Data List pdf. Channel Messages MIDI channel messages contain performance-related information, and each one is sent on a specific MIDI channel. MIDI cable  Note On & Note Off CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE MIDI keyboard or synthesizer 50 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Note On and Note Off messages are generated when a keyboard is played. Specifically, a Note On message is produced when a key is pressed; a Note Off message, when it is released. Each of these messages contains a specific note number corresponding to the key that was pressed, in addition to a velocity value indicating how hard the key was struck. Receivable MIDI note numbers range from 0 (C-2) to 127 (G8), with middle C (C3) represented by 60. Receivable velocity values, which are contained within Note On messages only, range from 1 to 127. Appendix > MIDI  Control Change Soft Pedal (Control No. 67) MIDI Control Change messages are used to control volume, stereo panning, and many other parameters, and as shown below, each message type has its own unique control number. Soft Pedal messages can be used to modify the sound of notes in the same way as a piano’s Soft pedal. Setting a value between 64 and 127 turns soft on, reducing the volume and slightly softening the timbre; meanwhile, values between 0 and 63 turn it off. Bank Select MSB (Control No. 0) Bank Select LSB (Control No. 32) Release Time (Control No. 72) Bank Select MSB and LSB messages are used to remotely select Performances and Part Voices from another MIDI device. The selection will not, however, become effective until a Program Change message is subsequently received. Release Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG release time for each Part. Values of 0 to 127 correspond to offset values of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or increase the release time accordingly. Data Entry MSB (Control No. 6) Data Entry LSB (Control No. 38) Decay Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG decay time for each Part. Values of 0 to 127 correspond to offset values of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or increase the decay time accordingly. The larger the value, the longer it takes for the sound to decay after the initial attack. Data Entry MSB and LSB messages are used to set a value for the parameter selected using RPN MSB and RPN LSB messages (see below). The actual value to be set is determined by combining the MSB and LSB values. Main Volume (Control No. 7) Main Volume messages can be used to adjust the volume of each Part. Setting a value of 127 produces maximum volume, while 0 silences the Part in question. These messages can be useful when adjusting the relative volumes of each Part. Pan (Control No. 10) Pan messages can be used to adjust the stereo panning of each Part. Setting a value of 127 moves the sound fully to the right, while 0 moves it to the far left and 64 places it in the middle of the stereo field. Expression (Control No. 11) Expression messages can be used to change the level of expression or intonation of each Part. Setting a value of 127 produces maximum volume, while 0 silences the Part in question. These messages can be useful when you wish to adjust the volume to add expression during performances. Hold 1 (Control No. 64) Hold 1 messages can be used to modify the sound of notes in the same way as a piano’s Sustain (Damper) pedal. Setting a value between 64 and 127 turns sustain on (pedal operated), while values between 0 and 63 turn it off (pedal released). When turned on, notes will sustain longer than normal after the corresponding Note Off message is received. The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE turn sustain fully off only for a Hold 1 value of 0, and values from 1 to 127 result in increasingly longer sustain times. Sostenuto (Control No. 66) Sostenuto messages can be used to modify the sound of notes in the same way as a piano’s Sostenuto pedal. Setting a value between 64 and 127 turns sostenuto on, while values between 0 and 63 turn it off. If sostenuto is turned on while the note generated by a specific Note On message is playing, it will be sustained longer until the corresponding Note Off message is received. 51 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Decay Time (Control No. 75) Vibrato Rate (Control No. 76) Vibrato Rate messages can be used to adjust the speed of each Part’s vibrato effect. Values of 64 leave the Part’s speed setting unchanged; values larger than 64 produce faster vibrato speeds and vice-versa. Vibrato Depth (Control No. 77) Vibrato Depth messages can be used to adjust the intensity of each Part’s vibrato effect. Values of 64 leave the Part’s depth setting unchanged; values larger than 64 produce a more intense vibrato effect and vice-versa. Vibrato Delay (Control No. 78) Vibrato Delay messages can be used to adjust how long after playing a key the onset of vibrato is delayed for each Part. Values of 64 leave the Part’s delay setting unchanged; values larger than 64 produce longer delay times and vice-versa. Effect 1 Depth (reverb send level) (Control No. 91) Effect 1 Depth messages can be used to adjust the reverb effect’s send level. Data Increment (Control No. 96) Data Decrement (Control No. 97) Data Increment and Data Decrement messages can be used to increment and decrement pitch bend sensitivity in steps of 1 (assuming that the parameter has been set in advance using RPN messages (see below)). RPN LSB (registered parameter number LSB) (Control No. 100) RPN MSB (registered parameter number MSB) (Control No. 101) RPN LSB and MSB messages are used primarily to facilitate the setting of offset values for pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, and other Part parameters. In specific terms, the parameter to be modified is first selected using these messages, and the above-mentioned Data Increment and Data Decrement messages are then used to change the parameter setting. It should be noted that, once an RPN has been set, all subsequent data entry messages on the same channel will affect the Appendix > MIDI corresponding parameter. After setting a parameter based on these messages, therefore, it is wise to set the RPN to Null (7FH, 7FH) in order to avoid unexpected changes. Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE supports selection of the following parameter using RPN LSB and MSB messages. RPN MSB RPN LSB Parameter 00H 00H Pitch Bend Sensitivity 7FH 7FH RPN Null  Program Change MIDI Program Change messages are used to select a different Performance. When combined with Bank Select MSB and LSB messages, furthermore, it is possible to select Performances from any of the instrument’s memory banks via MIDI. A full list of Performances can be found in the Data List pdf. NOTE Program change numbers (0 to 127) are one less than the corresponding number in the Data List (pdf). To select program No. 16, for example, you would need to send a message with program change number 15.  Pitch Bend  Channel Mode Messages 2nd byte 3rd byte Message 120 0 All Sound Off 121 0 Reset All Controllers 123 0 All Notes Off All Sound Off (Control No. 120) All Sound Off messages are used to silence all sounds being generated by the instrument’s Parts. MIDI Channel messages such as Hold 1 and Sostenuto are retained. Reset All Controllers (Control No. 121) A Reset All Controllers message is used to return each of the following controllers to their default values. Controller Default value Pitch Bend 0 (center position) Expression 127 (maximum) Hold 1 0 (off) Sostenuto 0 (off) Soft Pedal 0 (off) RPN Number not specified; internal data will not be changed. All Notes Off (Control No. 123) An All Notes Off message is used to turn off all notes for each Part. If, however, Hold 1 or Sostenuto is turned on at this time, notes will continue to play until these controllers are turned off. Omni Mode Off (Control No. 124) Omni Mode Off messages have the same effect as an All Notes Off message. Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration. System Messages Rather than being associated with a specific channel, MIDI system messages are used for synchronization of devices and other behavior of the instrument as a whole.  System Exclusive Messages Used to perform bulk data dumps and to change parameters, MIDI system exclusive messages contain a device number, allowing them to operate as if on a unique MIDI channel. In order for this type of message to be exchanged between devices, both the sending and receiving devices must be set to the same device number. Using system exclusive messages, you can control practically every parameter on your stage piano from another MIDI device.  System Realtime Messages Active Sensing (FEH) Active Sensing is a type of MIDI message used to prevent unexpected results in the event that a MIDI cable is disconnected or damaged while the instrument is being played. Upon the receipt of an Active Sensing message, the stage piano will begin to monitor the status of connected MIDI cables. If no MIDI data is received over the next 300 ms, the stage piano will conclude that a problem has occurred with a MIDI cable, and in response, it will act as if an All Notes Off message and a Reset All Controllers message had been received. Timing Clock (F8H) Omni Mode On (Control No. 125) Omni Mode On messages have the same effect as an All Notes Off message. 52 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual Timing Clock messages are transmitted at a fixed interval (i.e., 24 times per 1/4 note) to synchronize connected MIDI instruments. Use the Sync parameter from the Utility area’s MIDI screen to specify whether the instrument’s internal clock or Timing Clock messages received via the MIDI [IN] terminal should be used for synchronization.
