Reference Guides Reference Guides Your CP5 or CP50 stage piano comes with three different reference guides — the Owner’s Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), and the Data List. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the stage piano as a hardcopy booklet, this Reference Manual and the Data List are provided as pdf documents on the bundled CD-ROM. Owner’s Manual (hardcopy booklet) The Owner’s Manual describes how to set up your CP5 or CP50 and how to perform basic operation

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Tone Generator Tone Generator Your stage piano's Tone Generator produces sounds based on performance data that you create by playing the key- board, operating the sequencer, and using various controllers. In specific terms, the Tone Generator is made up of Per- formances, a Master Compressor block, and a Master Equalizer block. The term “Performance” is used to describe a single preset that allows a number of voices to be produced together. Meanwhile, the Ma

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Tone Generator Left & Right Parts The left and right parts that make up each Performance respond to your playing of the keyboard or to MIDI input and use the built-in Tone Generator to produce the appropriate sounds in response. The CP5 has four such parts — LEFT1, LEFT2, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2 — while the CP50 has two — LEFT and RIGHT. Regardless of the number available, you can freely arrange these parts in a layered configuration or a split configuration for

Voice Block The Voice block is used to specify the type of musical-instrument sound that will be produced for the corresponding part by the Tone Generator. Using a range of advanced sound-synthesis techniques, your CP5 or CP50 can faithfully repro- duce the unique sonic characteristics of a broad

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Tone Generator TRACK Part Each CP5 or CP50 Performance can also contain a backing track for playing back as an accompaniment to your key- board performances. Three different types of backing track can be selected — namely, Preset Drum Patterns, User Songs, and Wave files. Whenever you select a Preset Drum Pattern or a Wave file located on a USB flash-memory device, the TRACK part can be used to set its volume, pan, and reverb send level. For more details on

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Tone Generator HINT Using External Performance Memories In order to save Performances in an External Performance memory or to use an External Performance memory from a USB flash-memory device, the USB flash-memory device in question must be plugged into your CP5 or CP50. When you do so, the stage piano will behave in a number of different ways depending on whether or not it already contains an External Performance memory and when the USB flash-memory device

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Song Setting Area Song Setting Area The Song Setting area is used to record and play MIDI sequences and audio files for use as Performance backing tracks. MIDI sequences can take the form of built-in Preset Drum Patterns (playback only) or User Songs that you can both record and play. Meanwhile, the Song Setting area’s audio functions allow you to record Wave files to a USB flash- memory device and to play back Wave files previously stored on such a device.

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Controller Controller Your stage piano’s Controller consists of the keyboard, pitch bend wheel, knobs, foot pedals, and other input devices used while playing. It is important to bear in mind that the keyboard itself does not generate any sound; instead, it sends note, velocity, and other performance-related signals to a tone generator, which then produces sounds in response. In the same way, the other Controller devices also send signals to the tone gener
