CONCERT CDP2400USB User Manual 9
Using the pedals4.3
The CDP2400USB is equipped with three foot pedals performing
the same functions as the pedals on an acoustic grand piano.
Normally, the pedals are used in accordance with the instructions
given in the music, where they are marked by special symbols. It
is useful to know how sound is produced on an acoustic piano to
better understand how the pedals work.
When you strike a key, a hammer hits several strings for each note;
the strings produce a tone with a defi ned pitch. When you let go
of the key, a damper felt falls down on the strings to stop them
from vibrating any longer. As a result, the tone decays quickly.
However, if the key is held down, the tone is sustained for a while
before it decays completely. In this case, the tone decays only after
a certain time.
This decay characteristic can be infl uenced using the three
foot pedals.
Soft/piano pedal (left):
•
•
The soft pedal produces a soft and
intimate sound. Use this pedal for particularly soft musical
passages (pianissimo).
On an acoustic piano this soft sound results from a smaller
distance between hammer and strings. On a grand piano,
however, the position of the hammer changes, so that the
hammer does not hit all strings.
Press the pedal to dampen all tones played afterwards with 1)
the pedal down.
Let go of the pedal for normal playing.2)
You can adjust the eff ect of the damper pedal
◊
◊
(see chapter 5.6.2).
Sostenuto pedal (middle):
•
•
Use the sostenuto pedal to
sustain individual tones. The notes already played – as
long as they have not yet decayed – will be sustained
as soon as you press the pedal. All notes played
subsequently will be dampened as described above.
This allows you to play and sustain a certain note using
the pedal, while all subsequent tones will be played in a
staccato (detached) manner.
When you sustain single notes on an acoustic piano using
the sostenuto pedal, the damper felts of the notes already
played do not dampen the strings when you release the
keys, but are held in their position.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the tones you just played. 2)
Play the next notes. These are played with normal decay.3)
Release the pedal for normal playing.4)
Damper/Forte pedal (right): The damper pedal allows
•
•
you to sustain the notes already played (and held) plus all
subsequent notes, without having to hold the keys down.
The damper pedal is often used to achieve a richer sound.
This is the pedal that is used most often. You can also
use it very subtly, for example, by holding it down only
half-way.
On the acoustic piano notes are sustained by keeping
all the damper felts in their raised position even after
releasing the keys. This allows the notes played to decay
quite naturally.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the notes you just played plus all 2)
subsequent notes.
Release the pedal for normal playing.3)
Using headphones4.4
The CDP2400USB is equipped with two headphone jacks located
on the underside of the playing console (front left). Headphones
are ideal for practicing without disturbing others. The second
headphone jack allows another person, for example a music
teacher, to listen as well so that piano lessons can also be held using
headphones. Both ¼" and /" inputs are available.
Use the VOLUME control to turn the volume down (move the 1)
slide control to the left half of its control range).
Connect your headphones to a free headphone jack on the 2)
underside of the playing console.
While playing, adjust the volume as desired using the3)
VOLUME control.
If required, the 4) button allows you to switch the built-in
loudspeakers of the CDP2400USB on or off .
The built-in loudspeakers of the CDP2400USB are switched
◊
◊
off as soon as you connect a pair of headphones; the MUTE
LED above the button lights up.
When you disconnect your headphone from the
◊
◊
headphones jack, the built-in loudspeakers of the
CDP2400USB are switched on again and the MUTE LED
above the button goes out.

Advanced operation5.
The following chapters provide information on advanced operating
functions of the CDP2400USB.
Using EDIT mode5.1
Many advanced operating functions of the CDP2400USB are
available in EDIT mode. The following sections describe how to
adjust these functions in EDIT mode.
Whenever you are prompted to enter EDIT mode, please
◊
◊
follow the step-by-step instructions given below to select a
function and adjust its parameters.
Keep pressing the MODE button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE 1)
section until the EDIT MODE LED lights up.
Scroll through the functions using the Down/Up buttons, until 2)
the appropriate function (e.g. E1) has been selected.
Use the -/NO- and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section 3)
to adjust the value of your choice.
Quick access to layer mode functions5.1.1
Use the following operating procedure for direct access to the layer
mode menu pages.
Press and hold down the two sound buttons selected for layer 1)
mode (e.g. GRAND 1 and STRINGS) and press the MODE
button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE section.
The EDIT LED lights up and the EDIT page E3.1 is displayed.
Transposition5.2
The sounds produced by the CDP2400USB can be transposed up
or down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if you
want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because it has few
or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the piece to sound
in a diffi cult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D fl at major).
Example: D fl at major has fi ve fl ats (accidentals). In this key you
would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose
the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on
the white keys (C major). It can be helpful to transpose the
keyboard by an octave (12 halftones), for example to play low notes
in the middle register where they can be played more comfortably.
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO and 1)
+/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the
transposition value of your choice in half-tone steps.
The display reads:
0: No transposition (default setting)
1 ... 12: Keyboard is transposed up by the number of half-
tones selected.
-1 ... -12: Keyboard is transposed down by the number of
half-tones selected.
Release the TRANSPOSE button when the desired value has 2)
been selected.

+
ENGLISH
CONCERT CDP2400USB User Manual 11
The LED above the TRANSPOSE button lights up when the
◊
◊
transposition feature is active, i.e. when a value other than
zero has been set.
If a transposition interval has already been set, you can
◊
◊
enable/disable the transposition function using the
TRANSPOSE button.
Layer mode settings5.3
In layer mode you can eff ect additional settings for advanced
playing with two sounds at the same time.
All sounds are numbered internally from 1 through 14. This order of
sounds determines which sound is addressed internally as voice #1,
voice #2, etc., which in turn is important for making changes to the
sounds selected.
In our example the two sounds GRAND 1 and STRINGS are being
used in layer mode. Internally, GRAND 1 is #1, STRINGS is #11. The
sound with the lower number is addressed internally as voice #1

Tunings5.5.4
The CDP2400USB provides diff erent tunings developed during
the past few centuries. The tuning used most often today is called
equal tuning and has been a characteristic element of the music
composed from the 19th century up to the present. However, for
some baroque pieces (e.g. by J. S. Bach) it can be interesting to use
an older tuning system.
In the history of music, the development of the individual tunings
can be traced back to the development of scales and polyphony
and the resulting adaptation of instruments and their tuning.
Apart from these historical reasons, the limited tuning aids
available in former times played an important role for the practical
implementation of tunings.
The CDP2400USB provides the following tunings:
Equal tuning (default setting)
•
•
Equal tuning divides one octave into twelve intervals of equal size
or spacing. Thus, each half-tone is detuned slightly to the same
extent, with the octave being the only perfect interval. This has
been the most common tuning since the 19th century, as it makes
it possible to play all twelve major/minor keys.
+
ENGLISH
CONCERT CDP2400USB User Manual 19
Pure major/minor intonation
•
•
This tuning is based on the perfect tuning of the seven notes of one
scale (e.g. C major). Triads played one fi fth above or below are also
perfect, since they use the notes of the basic key. However, all other
keys are not playable, since their frequency relationships change
depending on the basic note.
This tuning can only be used for music that strictly follows a
classical cadence comprising tonic, dominant and subdominant.
Pythagorean tuning
•
•
The Pythagorean tuning is based on perfect fi fths. As a
consequence, all thirds are impure.
This tuning was used for early music up to the late Middle Ages. The
homophonic or two-part polyphonic music of the time did not use
any thirds, but only perfect unison, fourth, fi fth and octave intervals.
Meantone tuning
•
•
Meantone tuning resulted from the change in the perception of
dissonant intervals during the Renaissance period and from the
beginnings of chromaticism and polyphony. Polyphony made the
third the most important interval in music. Therefore, meantone
tuning is based on perfect thirds rather than perfect fi fths to tune
the twelve notes of a scale. However, this also means that some
scales are unplayable.
Today, the meantone tuning can still be used for works from the
early 16th and 17th centuries (e.g. G. F. Handel).
Werckmeister/Kirnberger tuning
•
•
The Werkmeister and Kirnberger tunings result from fi rst attempts
to realize a well-tempered tuning which – unlike the Pythagorean
and meantone tunings – allows for playing in all twelve keys. The
advantages of the Pythagorean and meantone tunings, i.e. the
slight detuning of some fi fth intervals, have also been included in
the Werkmeister/Kirnberger tunings.
Both tunings are interesting to use for works from the baroque
period (e.g. J. S. Bach). Werkmeister is a popular tuning for
organ works.
The following section describes how to change the tuning of the
CDP2400USB.
Please enter EDIT mode (see chapter 5.1) and select the

the CDP2400USB.
AUX IN jack6.1.2
This /" jack is ideal for the connection of MP3 players, portable
CD players, MD players, etc. Most applications will require a /" TRS
cable, but adaptors may also be used.
MIC IN jack6.1.3
Connect a microphone to the MIC IN jack using a standard XLR
cable. You may use dynamic (handheld) or condenser microphones.
The jack always supplies 15V of phantom power to enable the use
of most condenser mics.
Adjust the input signal of the microphone with the GAIN knob. If
your voice begins to distort, turn the GAIN knob down.
NOTE: The internal eff ects do not aff ect the microphone input.
Connection to amplifi ers and 6.2
recording equipment
The CDP2400USB is equipped with LINE OUT connectors for
connecting the digital piano to external keyboard amplifi ers, P.A.
systems or home stereo systems. For performances in larger rooms
(e.g. stages, hall) it can be necessary to use external amplifi ers.
You can also use the outputs to connect recording equipment (e.g.
computer, cassette recorder, MD recorder). Unlike the built-in music
sequencer, recording on external audio equipment gives you the
advantage that you can play back your music completely
independently of the CDP2400USB. For example, you can give your
friends a recorded CD or MP3 or archive music pieces on any
recording medium.

Connect the LINE OUT jacks to the inputs of an external 1)
amplifi er or recording device.
Caution !
Be sure to switch the CDP2400USB on BEFORE you switch
◊
◊
on the external amplifi er, so as to avoid switch-on thumps
being amplifi ed. Such signals could damage the amplifi er
and the loudspeakers. Switch off the equipment in
reverse order.
MIDI functions6.3
MIDI is an interface and protocol for transmitting of playing data to
other MIDI equipment. The most important playing data are pitch
and length of notes, key velocity and channel volume, program
changes and various controller data generated, for example, by
controllers such as the pedals.
The MIDI interface does not transmit electrical audio signals but
control data only . The MIDI protocol provides for the transmission
of data on 16 independent channels. Playing data are always
channel-specifi c data.
The CDP2400USB is equipped with three MIDI jacks for connecting
additional MIDI sound modules or software/hardware sequencers:

•
•
music computer receiving MIDI data from the CDP2400USB
Use the MIDI IN to send playing data from other MIDI
•
•
controller keyboards or a music computer to the sound
generator of the CDP2400USB.
The MIDI THRU jacks passes on the MIDI data received via
•
•
the MIDI IN jack without modifi cation. In combination with a
music computer you can thus integrate another keyboard or
sound module into the MIDI chain comprising CDP2400USB
and music computer.
MIDI connection to other sound modules6.3.1
You can use the CDP2400USB to control external sound modules
via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the
digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers
or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also
connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the
CDP2400USB, as described in chapter 6.1, all sounds played in
addition to the sounds of the CDP2400USB can be heard through
the internal loudspeakers.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the
CDP2400USB and an external sound module.
Fig. 6.3: Controlling external MIDI sound modules
Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the CONCERT to the MIDI IN jack 1)
of the external sound module.
Be sure to set the MIDI transmit/receive channels of both 2)
instruments to the same number (see chapter 6.3.3).
Connect the audio outputs of the sound module to the 3)
LINE IN jacks of the CDP2400USB, if you want to play back
the sounds of the external device through the digital piano
loudspeakers.
USB connection to a computer with 6.3.2
sequencing software
You can operate the CDP2400USB in combination with a
sequencing program such as “Cubase”, “Logic” or the included
“energyXT2.5 Compact BEHRINGER Edition.” Sequencing software
gives you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process
MIDI data. For example, you can record several tracks to create
complex music pieces. Additional options are the production of
sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is more, you can
transfer the data of the built-in music sequencer to your computer
for permanent archiving.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the
CDP2400USB and a music computer. The connection of an
external sound module is optional.

Appendix9.
Cables9.1
Below you will fi nd an overview of all cables you need to connect
your digital piano. The cables are not supplied with the piano.
Depending on the intended use, adapter cables will be necessary
to interface the various connectors. You can use adapter cables or
plugs (e.g. ¼" to RCA). Cable adapters are better than adapter plugs,
as the latter may aff ect the signal quality due to insuffi cient contact
of the plugs with each other.
Unbalanced ¼" cable9.1.1
Unbalanced ¼" cables are equipped with a ¼" TS plugs at each end.
They are used to connect external keyboard amps and devices with
¼" outputs (e.g. synthesizers, drum computers) to the CDP2400USB.
Fig. 9.1: Unbalanced ¼" cable with ¼" TS plugs
RCA cables9.1.2
RCA cables are often used for hi-fi applications to connect CD
players, MD recorders and other devices to home stereo systems.
You will need this type of cable to connect the CDP2400USB to hi-fi
recording equipment. Usually, these cables are supplied in pairs to
form one stereo cable. The plugs are in most cases red (right) and
white (left). Make sure that the wiring between recording device
and CDP2400USB follows this color code, so as not to mix up the
left/right signals.
Fig. 9.2: Hi-fi RCA cable
¼" to RCA cable9.1.3
¼" to RCA cables are required for connecting a hi-fi playback device
(e.g. CD player) to the CDP2400USB. As an alternative, you can also
use an unbalanced ¼" cable with an appropriate RCA adapter.
Fig. 9.3: ¼" to RCA cable
MIDI cables9.1.4
MIDI cables are required for connecting MIDI equipment. These
cables have a 5-pin DIN plug at each end. Be sure to use cables
marked as MIDI cables (wiring as shown), since there are also similar
cables with a diff erent wiring available for hi-fi equipment. MIDI
cable lengths should be as short as possible. Avoid cable lengths
exceeding 10 m, as these could lead to errors during the
transmission of signals.

Limited Warranty
Warranty § 1
This limited warranty is valid only if you purchased the product [1]
from a BEHRINGER authorized dealer in the country of purchase.
A list of authorized dealers can be found on BEHRINGER’s website
www.behringer.com under “Where to Buy”, or you can contact the
BEHRINGER offi ce closest to you.
BEHRINGER* warrants the mechanical and electronic components of this
[2]
product to be free of defects in material and workmanship if used under
normal operating conditions for a period of one (1) year from the original
date of purchase (see the Limited Warranty terms in § 4 below), unless a
longer minimum warranty period is mandated by applicable local laws. If
the product shows any defects within the specifi ed warranty period and
that defect is not excluded under § 4, BEHRINGER shall, at its discretion,
either replace or repair the product using suitable new or reconditioned
product or parts. In case BEHRINGER decides to replace the entire
product, this limited warranty shall apply to the replacement product
for the remaining initial warranty period, i.e., one (1) year (or otherwise
applicable minimum warranty period) from the date of purchase of the
original product.
Upon validation of the warranty claim, the repaired or replacement
[3]
product will be returned to the user freight prepaid by BEHRINGER.
Warranty claims other than those indicated above are expressly excluded.
[4]
PLEASE RETAIN YOUR SALES RECEIPT. IT IS YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE
COVERING YOUR LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID
WITHOUT SUCH PROOF OF PURCHASE.
Online registration§ 2
Please do remember to register your new BEHRINGER equipment right after
your purchase at www.behringer.com under “Support” and kindly read the
terms and conditions of our limited warranty carefully. Registering your
purchase and equipment with us helps us process your repair claims quicker
and more effi ciently. Thank you for your cooperation!
Return authorization number § 3
To obtain warranty service, please contact the retailer from whom the [1]
equipment was purchased. Should your BEHRINGER dealer not be
located in your vicinity, you may contact the BEHRINGER distributor
for your country listed under “Support” at www.behringer.com If your
country is not listed, please check if your problem can be dealt with
by our “Online Support” which may also be found under “Support” at
www.behringer.com. Alternatively, please submit an online warranty
claim at www.behringer.com BEFORE returning the product. All inquiries
must be accompanied by a description of the problem and the serial

indicated by BEHRINGER.

This limited warranty does not cover consumable parts including, but not [1]

in material and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from date

to be modifi ed or adapted in order to comply with applicable technical
or safety standards on a national or local level, in any country which is
not the country for which the product was originally developed and
manufactured, this modifi cation/adaptation shall not be considered
a defect in materials or workmanship. This limited warranty does not
cover any such modifi cation/adaptation, regardless of whether it was
carried out properly or not. Under the terms of this limited warranty,
BEHRINGER shall not be held responsible for any cost resulting from such
a modifi cation/adaptation.
This limited warranty covers only the product hardware. It does not cover
[3]
technical assistance for hardware or software usage and it does not cover
any software products whether or not contained in the product. Any such
software is provided “AS IS” unless expressly provided for in any enclosed
software limited warranty.
This limited warranty is invalid if the factory-applied serial number [4]
has been altered or removed from the product.
Free inspections and maintenance/repair work are expressly excluded [5]
from this limited warranty, in particular, if caused by improper handling
of the product by the user. This also applies to defects caused by normal
wear and tear, in particular, of faders, crossfaders, potentiometers, keys/
buttons, tubes, guitar strings, illuminants and similar parts.

payable by the customer.

[9]

Subject only to the operation of mandatory applicable local laws, BEHRINGER
