3CP4 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

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.

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.

Notes are bent upward

Notes are bent downward

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.

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.)

5CP4 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 FC3 and the optional FC4 and FC5, and a foot controller like the optional FC7.

Foot switches

The FC3 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 FC4 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 FC4 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 FC4 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.)

6CP4 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	On-screen abbreviation	Button abbreviation	Voice type(s)
Acoustic Piano 1	AP1 (CP4 STAGE)/	A.PIANO1 (CP4 STAGE)/	Normal

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.

8CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual

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.

9CP4 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.

10 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).

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

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.
