CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 5

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or

possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,

always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can

damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not

to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• (For CP4 STAGE) Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s

air vent, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal

components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are

using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,

immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from

the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is

still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not

using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power

cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components,

turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on

or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum

levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the

instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps

on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or

others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational

failure.

• (For CP4 STAGE) Do not insert anything into the instrument’s air

vent. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to

the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches

or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of

time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or

ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

(For CP40 STAGE) Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the

minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 9

Principal Features

 Authentic acoustic- and electric-piano sounds of unparalleled quality

Building on our decades of accomplishment in the production of stage pianos, we have delicately adjusted the sound of

each individual key and realized perfect balance over the full length of the keyboard, creating full-bodied piano tones

ideal for solo performances and ever-present sounds well suited for playing within an ensemble. Furthermore, by

analyzing and replicating the sound-producing mechanisms of classic electric pianos using cutting-edge technologies,

we have been able to achieve an extremely smooth response in the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE keyboards. Through

the modeling both of original pre-amplifiers and of effectors responsible for the rich variety of tones indispensable to

quality sound production, we have faithfully reproduced many electric piano sounds now regarded as classics.

 Wealth of voices and effects for greater flexibility in live performances

In addition to piano voices, your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE also offers a diverse selection of other musical instruments,

such as strings, guitar, and bass. With many versatile effects such as choruses and flangers also built-in, you can easily

create a rich tapestry of different sounds for your stage performances.

 Weighted hammer-action, 88-key keyboards that feel just like the real thing

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE employ an 88-key keyboard with a weighted hammer-action design that is virtually

indistinguishable from an actual piano. The CP4 STAGE also features a wooden keyboard.

 Easy overlaying and division of keyboard zones

Using your stage piano’s layering and splitting functions, you can easily layer the Parts that make up each Performance

or assign them to specific left-hand and right-hand zones.

 Record and playback functions for audio

Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE can record keyboard performances as audio data (Wave files) on a USB flash-memory

device. Wave files from a USB flash-memory device can also be played back as backing tracks for your performances.

What’s more, you can also connect a portable music player and output its audio from the stage piano together with the

music being played on the instrument.

 Convenient master-keyboard function

Using your stage piano’s master-keyboard function, which has been specially crafted for use in live-performance

settings, up to four virtual zones can be set up along the keyboard and assigned to four different tone generators,

including other MIDI instruments.

Power Supply

CP4 STAGE

Ensure that the [ ] (Power) switch on the

rear panel is set to the Off ( ) position.

2 Insert the appliance end of the bundled

power cord (see below) into the [AC IN] jack,

also on the rear panel.

3 Plug the other end of the power cord into a

domestic-use, AC wall outlet.

NOTE Carry out this procedure in reverse order when

disconnecting the power cord.

WARNING

Use only the AC power cord supplied with your stage piano.

The use of an inappropriate replacement can lead to

overheating or electric shock.

WARNING

The power cord supplied with your stage piano must not be

used with other electrical equipment. Failure to observe this

precaution can result in the equipment being damaged or

lead to the outbreak of fire.

WARNING

Make sure your CP4 STAGE meets the voltage requirement

for the country or region in which it is being used. The power

cord includes a grounding pin to prevent electrical shock

and damage to the equipment. When connecting to an outlet,

connect the adaptor’s ground lead to the ground screw. If

you are unsure how to make this connection, contact your

Yamaha dealer or service center.

CAUTION

The stage piano remains charged and draws a small amount

of power even when the [] (Power) switch is set to the Off

position. If it will not be used for an extended period of time,

therefore, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall

outlet.

CP40 STAGE

Ensure that the [ ] (Standby/On) switch on

the rear panel is set to the Standby ( )

position.

2 Connect the DC power cord from the bundled

power adaptor (see below) to the DC IN jack

on the rear panel.

3 Plug the adaptor’s AC power cord into a

domestic-use, AC wall outlet.

NOTE Carry out this procedure in reverse order when

disconnecting the power adaptor.

WARNING

Be sure to use only the power adaptor supplied with your

Setting Up

Connecting Audio

Equipment

Your stage piano does not come with built-in speakers. In

order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to

connect it to other audio equipment such as amplifiers

and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones

into the [PHONES] jack in order to monitor the sound

directly. Audio equipment can be connected in a number

of different ways, two of which are described below.

Based on the illustrations, choose the connection format

most suited to your setup.

CAUTION

To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high

volumes for extended periods of time.

NOTICE

Whenever connecting other audio equipment, ensure that all

devices are turned off.

Output via amplifiers or powered

speakers

Using a pair of keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers,

you can accurately reproduce the full richness of your

stage piano’s Performances (page 21) and effects,

including stereo panning. In this type of situation,

connections to the amplifiers or speakers should be

made via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT

jacks on the rear panel. If you would prefer to monitor

your playing using a single keyboard amplifier or

powered speaker, the UNBALANCED [L/MONO]

OUTPUT jack should be used.

Output via a mixer

It is commonplace for musical instruments to be

connected to a mixer in recording and live-performance

environments. In addition to the unbalanced jacks

mentioned above, the CP4 STAGE also features a pair of

professional-use, balanced XLR jacks that prevent

unwanted noise from entering output signals. When

connecting to a mixer, we recommend that these

BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks be used. (As the

CP40 STAGE does not feature balanced output jacks, its

UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks should

be used in this type of situation.)

NOTE The sound output via the headphones is identical to that

output via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT

jacks and the BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks.

Furthermore, plugging in or disconnecting a set of

headphones has no effect on the sound being output via

these jacks.

Setting Up

Connecting Pedals

Two different types of pedal can be used with your stage

piano — foot switches, such as the bundled FC3A and

the optional FC4A and FC5, and a foot controller like the

optional FC7. Both are connected via the rear panel,

although the jacks used and the corresponding functions

differ as described below.

Foot switches

The FC3A Foot Switch that comes with your stage piano

is connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack. It

functions in the same way as the damper pedal of an

acoustic piano, allowing notes played while it is operated

to sustain for longer than normal after you release the

corresponding keys.

The FC3A can also function as a half-damper pedal, and

in such a case, the damper effect will depend on the

degree to which the pedal is operated. You can activate

the half-damper playing technique as follows:

Press [UTILITY]; select 03: Controller using [ ] and [ ]

and press [ENTER]; set Sustain to “FC3 Half On” using

[-1/NO] and [+1/YES]; press [EXIT] several times to

return to the Performance screen (page 22).

An optional FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch can be connected

via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack so that

various functions can be assigned to it. This allows you to

control the assigned parameter by foot.

NOTE Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for details on how to

assign a parameter to an FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch.

Foot controllers

Used to control an assigned parameter, an FC7 Foot

Controller (sold separately) is connected via the [1] and

[2] FOOT CONTROLLER jacks on the CP4 STAGE or via

the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack on the CP40 STAGE. This

allows you to control assigned parameter(s) such as Part

volume(s) by foot.

NOTE Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for details on how to

assign a parameter to an FC7 Foot Controller.

Turning On and Off the

Stage Piano

Turning on

Ensure that your stage piano’s [MASTER

VOLUME] dial and the volumes of any

connected keyboard amplifiers or powered

speakers are turned fully down (i.e., to MIN or

0).

2 Set the [ ] switch on the rear panel to the

On ( ) position.

3 Turn on the keyboard amplifiers or powered

speakers.

Turning off

Ensure that the volumes of your stage piano

and any connected keyboard amplifiers or

powered speakers are turned fully down (i.e.,

to MIN or 0).

Setting Up

Auto Power-Off

The Auto Power-Off function automatically turns off your

stage piano after a certain period of inactivity, which is

approximately 30 minutes by default.

If you would like to disable this function, turn off the stage

piano once and then turn it back on while holding down

the leftmost key on the keyboard. The message “Auto

power off disabled” will be displayed on-screen, and this

function will remain disabled until you set a new Auto

Power-Off time.

If necessary, use the following procedure to set the time

until the Auto Power-Off function turns off the stage piano.

Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General using [ ] and press

[ENTER]; select AutoOff using [ ]; set the desired time

using [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] or the Data Dial; press

[STORE].

NOTICE

• The stage piano remains charged and draws a small

amount of power even when turned off by the Auto Power-

Off function. To shut it down completely, therefore, unplug

it from the wall outlet.

• In certain modes of operation such as when data has been

edited, the Auto Power-Off function may not turn off the

stage piano when the set period of inactivity has elapsed.

We recommend, therefore, that you always turn off the

instrument manually when you are finished using it.

• If your stage piano is connected to other equipment such

as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer, but you do not

intend to use it for some time, we recommend that you

turn off all devices as described in their owner’s manuals.

Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the other

equipment. If you do not want the stage piano to turn off

automatically when connected to other equipment, disable

the Auto Power-Off function.

• Any unsaved data will be lost when the Auto Power-Off

function turns off the stage piano. Be sure, therefore, to

store your work before it does so.

• If the stage piano’s AutoOff parameter is set to “off”, that

setting will be retained when you import system data that

was saved externally, regardless of the Auto Power-Off

setting contained in that data. If, however, a specific Auto

Power-Off time has been set using the AutoOff parameter

and system data is imported, the Auto Power-Off setting

contained in that data will be applied.

• It should be noted that executing the Factory Set function

(page 43) will cause the Auto Power-Off time to revert to

the default setting of 30 minutes.

NOTE

• Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact

times and there may be some variation.

• When the Auto Power-Off function has turned off the instrument,

you will first need to return the [ ] switch to the Off () position in

the case of the CP4 STAGE or the Standby () position in the

case of the CP40 STAGE before turning it back on.

Adjusting Volume and LCD

Contrast

While playing your stage piano, you can adjust the output

volume either on the instrument itself or via your keyboard

amplifiers or powered speakers. The stage piano’s

volume is adjusted using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.

Set the instrument’s volume to close to 70% of the

maximum, and then raise the volume on the keyboard

amplifiers or powered speakers by an appropriate

amount.

NOTE The stage piano’s [MASTER VOLUME] dial cannot be used

to adjust the volume of audio being input via the [AUX IN]

jack (page 45).

CAUTION

To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high

volumes for extended periods of time.

If you find it difficult to read the on-screen text, you can

adjust the LCD contrast using the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES]

buttons with the [UTILITY] button held down.

NOTE The Contrast parameter on the General screen from the

Utility area can also be used to adjust the LCD contrast as

described above. Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for

details.

Performances

In order to make effective use of your stage piano, it is important that you first understand the concept of Performances.

A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and your stage piano comes with a wide range of Performances ready

for use.

Parts Within a Performance

As shown in the illustrations below, each CP4 STAGE

Performance can contain a MAIN Part, a LAYER Part, and

a SPLIT Part; each CP40 STAGE Performance can

contain a MAIN Part and a SPLIT/LAYER Part. A Voice is

assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the

Performance. The MAIN Part always produces a sound

when you play the keyboard. The LAYER Part is used

when you want to overlay two different Voices (page 24).

Meanwhile, the SPLIT Part is used when you want to

divide the keyboard into two halves so that different

Voices can be assigned to them (page 25).

NOTE On the CP40 STAGE, the SPLIT/LAYER Part can be used as

either a LAYER or SPLIT Part.

Changing Performances &

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).

Playing Voices

Each CP4 STAGE Performance can contain three

different Parts (MAIN, LAYER, and SPLIT); each

CP40 STAGE Performance can contain two (MAIN and

SPLIT/LAYER). A Voice is assigned to each of these

Parts. Only the name of the MAIN Part’s Voice is shown

on the Performance screen when the instrument is turned

on in its default condition, and only this Voice is set to

produce a sound (i.e., only the [MAIN] button is lit).

Performance screen

Changing Voices

The various different Voices on your stage piano are

arranged into a number of categories. Each category

represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or

organ, or a sound genre. When changing Voices, you will

Practicing with the

Metronome

[METRONOME] button

Your stage piano has its own built-in metronome. You can

turn it on using the [METRONOME] button in order to

practice playing in time. In addition, this function can also

be used when recording your playing as audio (page 35).

When you press the [METRONOME] button, the

metronome will start playing at the set tempo and time

signature. In addition, the button’s light will also flash at

this time.

Metronome-related parameters such as tempo, time

signature, and volume can be set on the General screen

from the Performance Common Edit area. (Refer to the

Reference Manual (pdf) for details.) These settings can

be configured and stored (page 34) for each different

Performance (page 21). If you select a different

Performance while the metronome is playing, therefore,

its tempo, time signature, volume, and the like will

change to reflect the new Performance’s settings.

NOTE

• The metronome will stop playing automatically whenever you

execute a File function (page 39).

• The metronome will be temporarily silenced if you store the current

Performance while it is playing.

Changing Sounds Using

Controllers

Your stage piano’s control panel is equipped with a range

of different controllers — such as the pitch bend wheel,

modulation wheel, and sliders — that can be used to

change the instrument’s sound in real time. You can also

connect external controllers such as pedals via the rear

panel and assign them functions to be controlled by foot.

Pitch bend wheel

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

played notes in a continuously variable manner. When

you release it, the finger slot at the center will

automatically spring back to the original position, and the

pitch will return to normal. Why not take a moment now to

see how the pitch bend wheel can change the sound of

the notes you play.

Modulation wheel

The modulation wheel is normally used to add vibrato

and other suitable effects to the played notes. Why not

take a moment now to see how this wheel can change the

sound of the instrument.

Part sliders

The Part sliders are used to adjust parameter levels for

individual Parts and are located underneath the

corresponding Part buttons. Using these sliders, you can

conveniently adjust Part volumes and effect levels as you

play. The [SLIDER FUNCTION] button can be used to set

the sliders to control of the corresponding Parts’ volume,

chorus send, or reverb send levels.

NOTE On the CP40 STAGE, the slider on the left corresponds to

the SPLIT/LAYER Part.

Adjusting Part parameters using the

Part sliders

1 Press the [SLIDER FUNCTION] button as

many times as required to select the

parameter you wish to control.

When you press the button, the name of the selected

parameter and the current values for each Part will be

displayed on-screen (see below). For each

successive press, the selected parameter will cycle

between volume, chorus send, and reverb send

levels, and the lights to the left will turn on and off

accordingly.

MASTER EQUALIZER sliders

Using the MASTER EQUALIZER (EQ) sliders, you can

adjust the overall tone of your stage piano. In specific

terms, each of the sliders controls the gain in a different

frequency band.

From the left, the CP4 STAGE’s five sliders control the

Low, LowMid, Mid, HighMid, and High bands, while the

three on the CP40 STAGE control the Low, Mid, and High

bands. Regardless of which slider you operate, the

current gain levels for all will be displayed on-screen.

Troubleshooting

If you should experience difficulties with your stage piano,

such as an inability to produce sound or the output

becoming distorted, work through the following checklists in

order to rectify the situation. You may also be able to resolve

any issues by executing the Factory Set function (page 43)

after first backing up your settings on a USB flash-memory

device (page 39). If any specific problem should persist,

however, please contact your Yamaha dealer or a service

center (see the back of this booklet).

The stage piano produces no sound.

 Ensure that a stereo system, amplifiers,

speakers, and/or headphones have been

connected to the instrument.

Your stage piano does not come with built-in speakers.

In order to hear the sounds that it produces, therefore,

you will need to connect headphones or audio

equipment such as amplifiers and speakers

(page 16).

 Ensure that the stage piano and the

connected audio equipment are turned on.

 Ensure that the master volume on your stage

piano and on the connected audio equipment

are not set to an excessively low level.

If a foot controller has been connected to the

instrument, try using it to increase the volume.

 Ensure that your stage piano has been

correctly connected to the other audio

equipment.

 Ensure that local control has not been turned

off.

If local control is turned off and your stage piano is not

being used together with a computer or another

device that returns MIDI messages, it will not be

possible to produce any sound from the internal tone

generator by playing the keyboard.

• Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI and press [ENTER];

set LocalSw to “on”.

 Ensure that no Part volumes have been set to

an excessively low level.

• Select Volume using [SLIDER FUNCTION]; operate

the Part sliders.

 Ensure that Part buttons are not turned off.

A Part will not produce any sound when its button is

turned off (i.e., its light is not lit). If a required Part is off,

press its Part button and verify that it lights up.

 Review your effect and filter settings and

ensure that they are appropriate.

In particular, no sound will be produced at certain

cutoff-frequency settings when using a filter.

02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 02: Filter/EG and

press [ENTER]; change the Reso setting.

 Ensure that the master volume is not set too

high on the stage piano and/or the connected

audio equipment.

Check the input levels of any mixer or amplifier to

which your stage piano is connected. If lowering the

input gain or pressing the corresponding pad button

does not remove the distortion, try lowering the stage

piano’s output volume.

 Ensure that the Part volumes and the

playback volume for audio files are not too

high.

•Select Volume using [SLIDER FUNCTION]; operate

the Part sliders.

• Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General and press

[ENTER]; increase the Volume setting on the

AudioPlay pane.

Sound output is intermittent and

stuttered.

 Ensure that you are not playing more notes

than the stage piano is capable of handling

simultaneously.

If the total number of notes being played by all Parts is

too high, the stage piano’s output may become

intermittent and stuttered.

Only one note can be played at any time.



Ensure that the playing mode is not set to

“mono”.

If you wish to play multiple notes at the same time, the

playing mode for the Part(s) must be set to “poly”.

SYSTEM EFFECT buttons, [A] and [B] PART

EFFECT buttons, and the [MASTER COMP]

button are turned on as required.

If any of these buttons is off (i.e., not lit), the

corresponding effect will not be heard. To remedy this

situation, press the button in question and verify that it

lights up.

 In the event that the chorus and/or reverb

effect cannot be heard, ensure that the chorus

and reverb send levels are not set excessively

low.

(weee_eu_en_02) 8 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Principal Features  Authentic acoustic- and electric-piano sounds of unparalleled quality Building on our decades of accomplishment in the production of stage pianos, we have delicately adjusted the sound of each individual key and realized perfect balance over the full length of the keyboard, creating full-bodied piano tones ideal for solo performances and ever-present sounds well suited for playing within an ensemble. Furthermore, by analyzing and replicating the sound-producing mechanisms of classic electric pianos using cutting-edge technologies, we have been able to achieve an extremely smooth response in the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE keyboards. Through the modeling both of original pre-amplifiers and of effectors responsible for the rich variety of tones indispensable to quality sound production, we have faithfully reproduced many electric piano sounds now regarded as classics.  Wealth of voices and effects for greater flexibility in live performances In addition to piano voices, your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE also offers a diverse selection of other musical instruments, such as strings, guitar, and bass. With many versatile effects such as choruses and flangers also built-in, you can easily create a rich tapestry of different sounds for your stage performances.  Weighted hammer-action, 88-key keyboards that feel just like the real thing The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE employ an 88-key keyboard with a weighted hammer-action design that is virtually indistinguishable from an actual piano. The CP4 STAGE also features a wooden keyboard.  Easy overlaying and division of keyboard zones Using your stage piano’s layering and splitting functions, you can easily layer the Parts that make up each Performance or assign them to specific left-hand and right-hand zones.  Record and playback functions for audio Your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE can record keyboard performances as audio data (Wave files) on a USB flash-memory device. Wave files from a USB flash-memory device can also be played back as backing tracks for your performances. What’s more, you can also connect a portable music player and output its audio from the stage piano together with the music being played on the instrument.  Convenient master-keyboard function Using your stage piano’s master-keyboard function, which has been specially crafted for use in live-performance settings, up to four virtual zones can be set up along the keyboard and assigned to four different tone generators, including other MIDI instruments.

Setting Up CP4 STAGE DC IN jack [P] switch [AC IN] jack 3 3 Plug the other end of the power cord into a domestic-use, AC wall outlet. NOTE Carry out this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the power cord. WARNING Use only the AC power cord supplied with your stage piano. The use of an inappropriate replacement can lead to overheating or electric shock. WARNING The power cord supplied with your stage piano must not be used with other electrical equipment. Failure to observe this precaution can result in the equipment being damaged or lead to the outbreak of fire. WARNING Make sure your CP4 STAGE meets the voltage requirement for the country or region in which it is being used. The power cord includes a grounding pin to prevent electrical shock and damage to the equipment. When connecting to an outlet, connect the adaptor’s ground lead to the ground screw. If you are unsure how to make this connection, contact your Yamaha dealer or service center. Plug the adaptor’s AC power cord into a domestic-use, AC wall outlet. NOTE Carry out this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the power adaptor. WARNING Be sure to use only the power adaptor supplied with your stage piano. Use of a different adaptor is inherently dangerous and may result in equipment damage, overheating, or the outbreak of fire. WARNING Make sure your CP40 STAGE meets the voltage requirement for the country or region in which it is being used. CAUTION The stage piano remains charged and draws a small amount of power even when the [P] (Standby/On) switch is set to the Standby position. If it will not be used for an extended period of time, therefore, be sure to unplug the power adaptor from the wall outlet. CAUTION The stage piano remains charged and draws a small amount of power even when the [P] (Power) switch is set to the Off position. If it will not be used for an extended period of time, therefore, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 15 Connecting Audio Equipment Setting Up Your stage piano does not come with built-in speakers. In order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to connect it to other audio equipment such as amplifiers and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones into the [PHONES] jack in order to monitor the sound directly. Audio equipment can be connected in a number of different ways, two of which are described below. Based on the illustrations, choose the connection format most suited to your setup. Output via a mixer It is commonplace for musical instruments to be connected to a mixer in recording and live-performance environments. In addition to the unbalanced jacks mentioned above, the CP4 STAGE also features a pair of professional-use, balanced XLR jacks that prevent unwanted noise from entering output signals. When connecting to a mixer, we recommend that these BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks be used. (As the CP40 STAGE does not feature balanced output jacks, its UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks should be used in this type of situation.) CAUTION To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time. Mixer OUTPUT R OUTPUT L NOTICE Whenever connecting other audio equipment, ensure that all devices are turned off. Output via amplifiers or powered speakers Using a pair of keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers, you can accurately reproduce the full richness of your stage piano’s Performances (page 21) and effects, including stereo panning. In this type of situation, connections to the amplifiers or speakers should be made via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel. If you would prefer to monitor your playing using a single keyboard amplifier or powered speaker, the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] OUTPUT jack should be used. Left keyboard amplifier [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks 16 Right keyboard amplifier [PHONES] jack CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Amplifier [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks [PHONES] jack Left speaker Right speaker NOTE The sound output via the headphones is identical to that output via the UNBALANCED [L/MONO] and [R] OUTPUT jacks and the BALANCED [L] and [R] OUTPUT jacks. Furthermore, plugging in or disconnecting a set of headphones has no effect on the sound being output via these jacks. Connecting Pedals Two different types of pedal can be used with your stage piano — foot switches, such as the bundled FC3A and the optional FC4A and FC5, and a foot controller like the optional FC7. Both are connected via the rear panel, although the jacks used and the corresponding functions differ as described below. Turning On and Off the Stage Piano Turning on Ensure that your stage piano’s [MASTER VOLUME] dial and the volumes of any connected keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers are turned fully down (i.e., to MIN or 0). 2 Set the [P] switch on the rear panel to the On (O) position. Foot switches The FC3A Foot Switch that comes with your stage piano is connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack. It functions in the same way as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, allowing notes played while it is operated to sustain for longer than normal after you release the corresponding keys. The FC3A can also function as a half-damper pedal, and in such a case, the damper effect will depend on the degree to which the pedal is operated. You can activate the half-damper playing technique as follows: Press [UTILITY]; select 03: Controller using [u] and [d] and press [ENTER]; set Sustain to “FC3 Half On” using [-1/NO] and [+1/YES]; press [EXIT] several times to return to the Performance screen (page 22). An optional FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch can be connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack so that various functions can be assigned to it. This allows you to control the assigned parameter by foot. Setting Up 1 CP4 STAGE NOTE Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for details on how to assign a parameter to an FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch. CP40 STAGE Foot controllers Used to control an assigned parameter, an FC7 Foot Controller (sold separately) is connected via the [1] and [2] FOOT CONTROLLER jacks on the CP4 STAGE or via the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack on the CP40 STAGE. This allows you to control assigned parameter(s) such as Part volume(s) by foot. NOTE Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for details on how to assign a parameter to an FC7 Foot Controller. 3 Turn on the keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers. Turning off 1 Ensure that the volumes of your stage piano and any connected keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers are turned fully down (i.e., to MIN or 0). 2 Turn off the keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers. 3 On the CP4 STAGE, set the [P] switch on the rear panel to the Off (N) position; on the CP40 STAGE, set it to the Standby (N) position. CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 17 Auto Power-Off The Auto Power-Off function automatically turns off your stage piano after a certain period of inactivity, which is approximately 30 minutes by default. While playing your stage piano, you can adjust the output volume either on the instrument itself or via your keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers. The stage piano’s volume is adjusted using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. Set the instrument’s volume to close to 70% of the maximum, and then raise the volume on the keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers by an appropriate amount. Setting Up If you would like to disable this function, turn off the stage piano once and then turn it back on while holding down the leftmost key on the keyboard. The message “Auto power off disabled” will be displayed on-screen, and this function will remain disabled until you set a new Auto Power-Off time. Adjusting Volume and LCD Contrast 70% Quietest Loudest NOTE The stage piano’s [MASTER VOLUME] dial cannot be used If necessary, use the following procedure to set the time until the Auto Power-Off function turns off the stage piano. Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General using [u] and press [ENTER]; select AutoOff using [d]; set the desired time using [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] or the Data Dial; press [STORE]. NOTICE to adjust the volume of audio being input via the [AUX IN] jack (page 45). CAUTION To prevent hearing loss, avoid using headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time. If you find it difficult to read the on-screen text, you can adjust the LCD contrast using the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons with the [UTILITY] button held down. • The stage piano remains charged and draws a small amount of power even when turned off by the Auto PowerOff function. To shut it down completely, therefore, unplug it from the wall outlet. • In certain modes of operation such as when data has been edited, the Auto Power-Off function may not turn off the stage piano when the set period of inactivity has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you always turn off the instrument manually when you are finished using it. • If your stage piano is connected to other equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer, but you do not intend to use it for some time, we recommend that you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the other equipment. If you do not want the stage piano to turn off automatically when connected to other equipment, disable the Auto Power-Off function. • Any unsaved data will be lost when the Auto Power-Off function turns off the stage piano. Be sure, therefore, to store your work before it does so. • If the stage piano’s AutoOff parameter is set to “off”, that setting will be retained when you import system data that was saved externally, regardless of the Auto Power-Off setting contained in that data. If, however, a specific Auto Power-Off time has been set using the AutoOff parameter and system data is imported, the Auto Power-Off setting contained in that data will be applied. • It should be noted that executing the Factory Set function (page 43) will cause the Auto Power-Off time to revert to the default setting of 30 minutes. NOTE • Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact times and there may be some variation. • When the Auto Power-Off function has turned off the instrument, you will first need to return the [P] switch to the Off (N) position in the case of the CP4 STAGE or the Standby (N) position in the case of the CP40 STAGE before turning it back on. 18 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual NOTE The Contrast parameter on the General screen from the Utility area can also be used to adjust the LCD contrast as described above. Refer to the Reference Manual (pdf) for details.

CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Performances In order to make effective use of your stage piano, it is important that you first understand the concept of Performances. A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and your stage piano comes with a wide range of Performances ready for use. Parts Within a Performance As shown in the illustrations below, each CP4 STAGE Performance can contain a MAIN Part, a LAYER Part, and a SPLIT Part; each CP40 STAGE Performance can contain a MAIN Part and a SPLIT/LAYER Part. A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the Performance. The MAIN Part always produces a sound when you play the keyboard. The LAYER Part is used when you want to overlay two different Voices (page 24). Meanwhile, the SPLIT Part is used when you want to divide the keyboard into two halves so that different Voices can be assigned to them (page 25). Changing Performances & 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). Select a new Performance Performance 004 MAIN Part MAIN Part Guitar Piano CP4 STAGE LAYER Part LAYER Part Multiple Performances Organ Brass SPLIT Part SPLIT Part Strings Bass NOTE On the CP40 STAGE, the SPLIT/LAYER Part can be used as either a LAYER or SPLIT Part.

Bass CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 21 Quick Start Guide Playing Voices Changing Voices Each CP4 STAGE Performance can contain three different Parts (MAIN, LAYER, and SPLIT); each CP40 STAGE Performance can contain two (MAIN and SPLIT/LAYER). A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts. Only the name of the MAIN Part’s Voice is shown on the Performance screen when the instrument is turned on in its default condition, and only this Voice is set to produce a sound (i.e., only the [MAIN] button is lit). The various different Voices on your stage piano are arranged into a number of categories. Each category represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or organ, or a sound genre. When changing Voices, you will first need to select the desired category. The following procedure describes how to select and audition a number of different MAIN Part Voices.

CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Troubleshooting If you should experience difficulties with your stage piano, such as an inability to produce sound or the output becoming distorted, work through the following checklists in order to rectify the situation. You may also be able to resolve any issues by executing the Factory Set function (page 43) after first backing up your settings on a USB flash-memory device (page 39). If any specific problem should persist, however, please contact your Yamaha dealer or a service center (see the back of this booklet). The stage piano produces no sound.  Ensure that a stereo system, amplifiers, speakers, and/or headphones have been connected to the instrument. Your stage piano does not come with built-in speakers. In order to hear the sounds that it produces, therefore, you will need to connect headphones or audio equipment such as amplifiers and speakers (page 16).  Ensure that the stage piano and the connected audio equipment are turned on.  Ensure that the master volume on your stage piano and on the connected audio equipment are not set to an excessively low level. If a foot controller has been connected to the instrument, try using it to increase the volume.  Ensure that your stage piano has been correctly connected to the other audio equipment.  Ensure that local control has not been turned off. • Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI and press [ENTER]; set LocalSw to “on”.  Ensure that no Part volumes have been set to an excessively low level. In particular, no sound will be produced at certain cutoff-frequency settings when using a filter. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 02: Filter/EG and press [ENTER]; change the Cutoff setting. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select each of 03: Effect-A and 04: Effect-B and press [ENTER]; change settings as appropriate. Sound input via the [AUX IN] jack cannot be heard.  Ensure that the volume on the connected audio equipment has not been turned fully down. Audio files cannot be heard when played.  Ensure that the volume for playback of audio files has not been turned fully down. • Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General and press [ENTER]; increase the Volume setting on the Audio Playback screen. A sound continues to play without end.  If you are playing an audio file located on the connected USB flash-memory device, press the [J] (Stop) button. The stage piano turned off unexpectedly.  Confirm whether the Auto Power-Off function is enabled. Appendix If local control is turned off and your stage piano is not being used together with a computer or another device that returns MIDI messages, it will not be possible to produce any sound from the internal tone generator by playing the keyboard.  Review your effect and filter settings and ensure that they are appropriate. If necessary, either turn it off or change the time until it is activated. • Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General and press [ENTER]; set AutoOff to “off” or a different time. • Select Volume using [SLIDER FUNCTION]; operate the Part sliders.  Ensure that Part buttons are not turned off. A Part will not produce any sound when its button is turned off (i.e., its light is not lit). If a required Part is off, press its Part button and verify that it lights up. The output from the stage piano sounds distorted.  Ensure that effects have been set appropriately. Sound can be distorted with certain combinations of effect type and parameter settings. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select each of 03: Effect-A and 04: Effect-B and press [ENTER]; change settings as appropriate. CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual 51  Ensure that filter settings are appropriate. Depending on the type of sound being filtered, certain resonance settings can produce distortion. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 02: Filter/EG and press [ENTER]; change the Reso setting. If any of these buttons is off (i.e., not lit), the corresponding effect will not be heard. To remedy this situation, press the button in question and verify that it lights up. Check the input levels of any mixer or amplifier to which your stage piano is connected. If lowering the input gain or pressing the corresponding pad button does not remove the distortion, try lowering the stage piano’s output volume.  In the event that the chorus and/or reverb effect cannot be heard, ensure that the chorus and reverb send levels are not set excessively low. • Select Volume using [SLIDER FUNCTION]; operate the Part sliders. • Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General and press [ENTER]; increase the Volume setting on the AudioPlay pane. • Select Chorus or Reverb using [SLIDER FUNCTION]; operate the Part sliders.  In the event that insertion effects cannot be heard, ensure that the Effect A/B Part Switch is not turned off. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 01: Play Mode and press [ENTER]; set EffA/BSw to “on”. Sound output is intermittent and stuttered. The Edit symbol (E) appears even though nothing has been edited.  Ensure that you are not playing more notes than the stage piano is capable of handling simultaneously.  The Edit symbol may appear when parameter settings are changed as a result of Part sliders being operated or the stage piano’s internal tone generator being controlled by another MIDI device. If the total number of notes being played by all Parts is too high, the stage piano’s output may become intermittent and stuttered. Only one note can be played at any time.  Ensure that the playing mode is not set to “mono”. If you wish to play multiple notes at the same time, the playing mode for the Part(s) must be set to “poly”. Appendix  Ensure that the [CHORUS] and [REVERB] SYSTEM EFFECT buttons, [A] and [B] PART EFFECT buttons, and the [MASTER COMP] button are turned on as required.  Ensure that the master volume is not set too high on the stage piano and/or the connected audio equipment.  Ensure that the Part volumes and the playback volume for audio files are not too high. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 01: Play Mode and press [ENTER]; set PartMode to “poly”. Unexpected pitches are produced.  Ensure that transpose and tuning parameters are set to “0”. • Press [UTILITY]; select 01: General and press [ENTER]; set MasterTune and Trnsps to “0”.  Ensure that note shift and detune parameters for each Part are set to “0”. • Select the Part in question; press [EDIT]; select 02: Part and press [ENTER]; select 01: Play Mode and press [ENTER]; set NoteShft and Detune to “0”. 52 Effects cannot be heard. CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Audio playback does not start when the [R] (Play) button is pressed.  Ensure that a USB flash-memory device containing one or more audio files is connected.  Ensure that the audio file is of the correct format. Your stage piano only supports the playback of 44.1-kHz, 16-bit, stereo audio files in .WAV format. Keyboard playing cannot be recorded as audio.  Ensure that there is sufficient memory available for recording on the USB flashmemory device. • Press [FILE]; select 06: Memory Info and press [ENTER]; check the available memory using Free. If there is insufficient memory available, delete unneeded data or use a different USB flash-memory device. Data exchange with a connected computer is not working properly.  Ensure that the computer’s port settings are correct.  Ensure that the correct interface (MIDI or USB) has been selected in the Utility area. • Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI and press [ENTER]; set IN/OUT to “MIDI” or “USB” as required. Transmission and reception of bulk data is not working properly.  If you are having trouble transmitting data, ensure that the stage piano’s device number setting matches the device number of the connected MIDI device. • Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI and press [ENTER]; confirm or change the device number using DevNo.  If you are having trouble receiving data, ensure that the device number setting is identical to that used when transmitting the data. • Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI and press [ENTER]; set the device number using DevNo. Data cannot be saved on the connected USB flash-memory device.  Ensure that the USB flash-memory device is not write protected.  Ensure that the USB flash-memory device is correctly formatted. • Press [FILE]; select 05: Format and press [ENTER]; press [+1/YES]. Appendix NOTICE When a USB flash-memory device is formatted, all data saved on it will be permanently erased.
