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.

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 Volu me, 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.
(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 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.

One Drum Voice (or Drum Kit)
Different percussion
sound for each key
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.
Voic es
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.

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.

(Illustration shows a typical example for the CP4 STAGE.)
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.

CP40 STAGE
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
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).

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.
