8CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual

Principal Features

Authentic acousticand 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.

[P] switch

[AC IN] jack

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 [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.

CP40 STAGE

1 Ensure that the [P] (Standby/On) switch on the rear panel is set to the Standby (N) position.

2 Connect the DC power cord from the bundled power adaptor (see below) to the DC IN jack on the rear panel.

DC IN jack

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 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.

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.

16 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual

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 [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.

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

1 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.

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.

Setting Up

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

•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.

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.

	70%
Quietest	Loudest

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.
