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 operations.

Reference Manual (this pdf document)
This Reference Manual describes the internal design of your CP5 or CP50 and the various parameters that can be
adjusted and set.

Data List (pdf document)
The Data List document provides a list of all CP5 or CP50 presets (or Performances); a breakdown of the types of Modulation Effect and Power-Amplifier / Compressor* blocks available for selection; a list of the parameters that can be set for
each of these blocks; and MIDI-related reference material. (*: CP5 only)

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 keyboard, operating the sequencer, and using various controllers. In specific terms, the Tone Generator is made up of Performances, 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 Master Compressor block and the Master Equalizer block are used to adjust the dynamics and tone of
the sounds produced by individual Performances. Master Compressor and Master Equalizer settings are stored separately from Performances; therefore, they affect the stage piano as a whole and can be adjusted to perfectly match the
environment in which it is being played. The basic flow of signals between these components is as follows.

*:The LEFT2, RIGHT2, and MIC INPUT parts are available
on the CP5 only.

Each Performance comprises a number of different parts and a Reverb block. As shown below, CP5 Performances contain six different parts, while CP50 Performances have three. Furthermore, the types of sound that can be handled vary
from part to part. For more information on parts, see page 5.

 CP5 Parts
• Left and right parts: LEFT1, LEFT2, RIGHT1, and RIGHT2
• TRACK part
• MIC INPUT part

 CP50 Parts
• Left and right parts: LEFT and RIGHT
• TRACK part
The sound of each Performance is completed by applying a common reverb effect to the sound of each of the selected
parts. As a final step, furthermore, the sound of the stage piano itself can be perfectly matched to its playing environment
by setting the Master Compressor and Master Equalizer blocks, which affect all Performances in the same way.

CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

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 left and right hands to best suit your
playing style. When layering parts, overlapping playing sections are defined by setting note limits for each (page 32).
When splitting parts, meanwhile, a split point is set (page 31) so that notes to the left and right of that point can be played
using the left and right parts, respectively. Layering and splitting can be setup using the Split parameter (page 31) from
the Common Settings area.

Each CP5 part is subdivided into four distinct blocks known as the Voice block, the Pre-Amplifier block, the Modulation
Effect block, and the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block. In the CP50, meanwhile, three blocks are used for each part
— namely, the Voice block, the Pre-Amplifier block, and the Modulation Effect block.

* Only CP5 parts feature a Power-Amplifier / Compressor block.

In these blocks, we have recreated the unique sounds not only of acoustic pianos and classic electric pianos, but also of
a wide range of effect units, amplifiers, and other devices commonly used with each in actual performance and recording settings. Using the Piano Customize function to freely assemble blocks, you can both replicate standard vintage settings and also create original hardware combinations that would never be possible in the real world. Furthermore, your
CP5 or CP50 also comes complete with many other voices such as strings and guitars, and these can be combined with
piano voices to produce unique, exciting sounds.
Each Performance allows the sounds produced by its various parts to be sent through the common Reverb block for finishing. In addition, Performances also contain a Common Settings area that allows a name, a keyboard mode, and controller parameters to be set for each. These common settings can be used to make final adjustments to the individual
Performances that you create.
Meanwhile, your CP5 or CP50 is pre-loaded with an impressive selection of Preset Performances, specially created by
artfully combining the above-described parts and blocks to produce just the right sounds. Finally, the Master Compressor and Master Equalizer blocks, which affect all Performances in the same way, can be used to ensure that the sound of
your stage piano is always perfectly matched to its playing environment.

Roles of Blocks & Common Settings Area
The roles of each of the blocks and the Common Settings area that make up CP5 and CP50 parts are as follows.

 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 reproduce the unique sonic characteristics of a broad spectrum of acoustic pianos and classic electric pianos. In addition to
piano sounds, furthermore, Voice blocks also offer a selection of other types of musical instruments, such as strings, guitar, and bass, and these are conveniently arranged into different instrument categories. For more information regarding
piano voices (as selected from the PIANO and E.PIANO categories), refer to Voice Block (page 12) from the Reference
section below. For more information regarding other instrument categories and voices, refer to the Data List pdf document.

 Pre-Amplifier Block
The Pre-Amplifier block is used to set pre-amplifier parameters and to make other adjustments uniquely affecting piano
voices. As such, this block is available only when a piano voice has been selected (from the PIANO or E.PIANO category). In addition to pre-amplifiers actually used with various types of pianos in live performance settings, the Pre-Amplifier block also replicates many other parameters perfectly configured for the enhancement of piano sounds. Whenever
you select a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO category within the Voice block, a specific set of parameters for that particular voice will be made available in the Pre-Amplifier block. For details on Pre-Amplifier block parameters, see PreAmplifier Block (page 13) from the Reference section below.

 Modulation Effect Block
Within each Modulation Effect block, you will find a versatile collection of modulation-type effects that are indispensable
to piano sound design for stage and recording environments. Positioned immediately after the Voice and Pre-Amplifier
blocks for the corresponding part, this block processes to the raw instrument sound. Whenever a non-piano voice is
selected within the Voice block, furthermore, the Modulation Effect block functions as an insertion effect. Using Modulation Effect blocks, individual parts can be processed with different effects, each of which features a number of freelyadjustable parameters. For details on the types of modulation effect available for use and the corresponding parameters,
see Modulation Effect Block (page 15) from the Reference section below.

 Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block (CP5 only)
For further shaping of voices, the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block contained within each CP5 part can be used to
select either a power amplifier or a compressor, each of which is modeled with remarkable levels of precision. Positioned
immediately after the part’s Modulation Effect block, this block adjusts the overall tone. Whenever a non-piano voice is
selected within the Voice block, furthermore, the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block functions as an insert-type effect.
Using Power-Amplifier / Compressor blocks, individual parts can be processed with different effects, each of which features a number of freely-adjustable parameters. For details on the types of power-amplifier and the compressor available
for use and the corresponding parameters, see Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block (page 25) from the Reference section below.

 Common Settings Area
The Common Settings area is used to assign names to your Performances, to specify a keyboard mode for the left and
right parts, and to setup controllers. If you wish to use your CP5 or CP50 as a master keyboard for controlling other MIDI
devices, the relevant settings are made here. For details on Common Settings area parameters, see Common (page 31)
from the Reference section below.

CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

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 keyboard 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 these parameters,
see TRACK Part (page 39) from the Reference section below.

MIC INPUT Part (CP5 only)
With the CP5, a microphone can be plugged into the MIC INPUT connector so that you can conveniently sing along as
you play. Each CP5 Performance features a MIC INPUT part that can be used to adjust the volume, pan, and effect settings for the audio input via this connector. Furthermore, this audio can also be processed using a noise gate, compressor, equalizer, and insertion effect. For more details, see MIC INPUT Part (page 40) from the Reference section below.

Reverb Block
The Reverb block on your CP5 or CP50 provides a host of exquisite reverb algorithms originally developed by Yamaha
for use in professional-audio applications. This block allows a common reverb effect to be applied to all parts from the
current Performance, and each features a number of freely configurable parameters. For details on the types of reverb
effect available for use and the corresponding parameters, see Reverb (page 42) from the Reference section below.

Makeup of Performance Memories
Your CP5 or CP50 can store Performances in three main memory areas — namely, the Preset Performance memory, the
User Performance memory, and an External Performance memory. The specific roles of each of these memory areas are
described below.

Preset Performance Memory
Accessed using the [PRE] button, the Preset Performance memory is used to hold the Performance presets that come
ready-made with your CP5 or CP50. This memory area contains three individual memory banks — PRE1, PRE2, and
PRE3. Each time you press the [PRE] button, a different Preset Performance memory bank will be selected. Four memory
groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each memory bank, and each one of these groups can hold ten Performances. Press one of the group buttons [A] to [D] followed by one of the number buttons [1] to [10] to choose the corresponding Performance from the currently selected External Performance memory bank. In order that they will always be
available for use, Preset Performances cannot be overwritten with other Performances that you have modified or created.
As such, the Preset Performance memory is read-only.
NOTE Performance 1 from Group A within the PRE1 memory bank will always be selected when you press the [PRE] button while
holding down the [EXIT] button.
NOTE For a list of all Preset Performances, see the Data List pdf document.

User Performance Memory
Accessed using the [USER] button, the User Performance memory is used to store original Performances that you have
created. This memory area contains three individual memory banks — USR1, USR2, and USR3. Each time you press the
[USER] button, a different User Performance memory bank will be selected. Four memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are
contained within each memory bank, and each one of these groups can hold ten Performances. Press one of the group
buttons [A] to [D] followed by one of the number buttons [1] to [10] to choose the corresponding Performance from the
currently selected User Performance memory bank. In the stage piano's default condition, the User Performance memory contains exactly the same content as the Preset Performance memory.

NOTICE
If you overwrite a Performance in the User Performance memory, it will be permanently deleted. In order to avoid loosing
irreplaceable data, therefore, you should take special care when selecting where to store newly-created Performances.
NOTE Performance 1 from Group A within the USR1 memory bank will always be selected when you press the [USER] button while
holding down the [EXIT] button.

External Performance Memory
Accessed using the [EXT] button, an External Performance memory is read into your CP5 or CP50 from a plugged-in
USB flash-memory device. This memory area can be used to store original Performances that you have created, and it
contains three individual memory banks — EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3. Each time you press the [EXT] button, a different
External Performance memory bank will be selected. Four memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each
memory bank, and each one of these groups can hold ten Performances. Press one of the group buttons [A] to [D] followed by one of the number buttons [1] to [10] to choose the corresponding Performance from the currently selected
External Performance memory bank. In order to use an External Performance memory stored on a USB flash-memory
device, the memory device must be plugged into your CP5 or CP50, and the stage piano must have loaded the corresponding data into a dedicated section of its internal memory (DRAM).
NOTE Performance 1 from Group A within the EXT1 memory bank will always be selected when you press the [EXT] button while
holding down the [EXIT] button.

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 was last plugged in. Each of these actions is described
below.

 Root directory does not contain an External Performance memory:
As soon as you plug in a USB flash-memory device, your stage piano will check its root directory for an External
Performance memory. If none exists, it will create one in the form of a file named EXTBANK.C5E or EXTBANK.C6E.

<<
<<

Making external
memory...

>>
>>

 Root directory contains an External Performance memory:
If an External Performance memory already exists in the root directory of the USB flash-memory device, the action taken will
— as described below — depend on whether or not that specific memory device was previously plugged in and removed
after you turned on the stage piano.
• Not previously plugged in after turning on the stage piano:
If the USB flash-memory device is being plugged in for the first time after turning on your CP5 or CP50, the data from its
External Performance memory will be automatically loaded into a dedicated section of the instrument's internal memory
(DRAM).

<<
Loading...
<< [EXIT] to cancel.

>>
>>

NOTE If a different USB flash-memory device has already been plugged in and removed after turning on the stage piano, the
instrument will operate in line with the description from Previously plugged in after turning on the stage piano (below).

NOTICE
Whenever an External Performance memory from a USB flash-memory device is loaded into the stage piano, all External
Performance memory data from the DRAM and data in the Edit Buffer will be overwritten. Before plugging in a USB flashmemory device, therefore, be sure to store any important External Performances residing in the DRAM and any
Performances located within the Edit Buffer and containing unsaved modifications.

• Previously plugged in after turning on the stage piano:
Whenever you plug in a USB flash-memory device that has already been plugged in and removed at least once after
turning on the stage piano, you will be asked whether or not its External Performance memory should be loaded. If the
External Performance memory currently loaded into the stage piano contains irreplaceable Performances with unsaved
modifications, be sure to press Knob 3 (NO [PUSH]) at this time.

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 flashmemory device and to play back Wave files previously stored on such a device.

Recording MIDI & Audio Data
Recording of User Songs and Wave files is carried out using the Record screen (page 37). In the case of User Songs,
you record your keyboard performance as MIDI data, and this can be played back using the sound created by the current Performance’s left and right parts. When creating Wave files for direct storage as audio data on a USB flash-memory
device, meanwhile, you can record your keyboard performance together with the Preset Drum Pattern or User Song set
as the backing track. It should be noted that Preset Drum Patterns cannot be re-recorded as MIDI data on the stage
piano, and that recorded MIDI data cannot be stored as Preset Drum Patterns.

Playing MIDI & Audio Data
For each Performance, you can choose a single Preset Drum Pattern, User Song, or Wave file for playback as a backing
track, and this selection is made on the Song Setting screen (page 35). The actual part(s) that will be used for playback
will depend on the type of backing track that you select. Preset Drum Patterns and Wave files are handled by the TRACK
part (page 7) from the Tone Generator’s currently-selected Performance, and within this part, you can set the backing
track’s volume, pan, and effect send level.
Preset Drum Patterns are MIDI sequences that play built-in drum kit sounds totally unrelated to the voices selected for
the Performance’s left and right parts; therefore, they will always play back using the drum kit sounds selected on the
Song Setting screen, regardless of left and right part settings. User Songs, on the other hand, are handled by left and
right parts (page 5), and for this reason, the sound that they produce will be affected by these parts’ voice and effect settings. As these MIDI sequences are recorded using the sound of the left and right parts, they function perfectly as backing tracks for the corresponding Performance.

CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

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 generator whenever they are operated. Specifically speaking, the signals produced and sent by the keyboard and other devices are MIDI messages, and therefore,
they can also be sent to other MIDI devices or a computer via the MIDI OUT connector or the USB TO HOST port. Please
note, however, that data produced by the knobs is not output from the instrument in this way.

This parameter is used to set the degree to which the Pitch Bend wheel
changes the pitch of the current part in steps of one semitone. With a setting of 12, for example, the Pitch Bend wheel can change the pitch
between -12 (i.e., one octave down) and +12 (i.e., one octave up).
Setting values: 0 to 12

TuningNo.
(Micro Tuning Number)

This parameter is used to select a musical tuning system. In total, your CP5
or CP50 can replicate seven tuning systems. While the Equal Temperament
tuning system has now become standard for pianos, a wide number of
other systems were developed over the years before it was adopted, and
these systems invariably paved the way for the birth of new musical styles.
By selecting a different tuning system, you can play tunes from the corresponding styles of music and enjoy their unique nuances.
Setting values:
00 Equal Temp (Equal Temperament)
The range of pitches in each octave is divided equally into twelve parts,
with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. Today, this is by far the most
popular tuning system for pianos.
01 PureMaj (Pure Major)
02 PureMin (Pure Minor)
These two tuning systems preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each
scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). These characteristics are
best heard in vocal harmonies — such as choirs and a cappella singing.
03 Pythag (Pythagorean)
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, and
is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single
octave. The thirds in this tuning are not so smooth, but the fourths and fifths
are beautiful and suitable for certain leads.
04 MeanTn (Mean Tone)
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale by
making the major third interval sound smoother. It was especially popular
from the latter part of the 16th century to the end of the 18th century, with
Handel being one of its most notable users.

shown in the graph below, the larger the value set, the greater the degree
to which MIDI velocities vary in response to changes in the playing velocity
(i.e., the steeper the slope of the graph). If a value of 0 is set, the MIDI
velocities are totally unaffected by different playing velocities, resulting in a
response similar to that of an organ, where playing strength has practically

Modified using Knob 1, this parameter specifies the type of data to be
recorded. Select “Song” to record your performance as a User Song, or select
“Wave” to record it as a Wave file on a USB flash-memory device plugged into
the stage piano.
Setting values: Song (User Song) or Wave (Wave file)
Song
If Type has been set to “UsrSong” on the Song Setting screen (page 35), indicating
that a User Song is to be used as the backing track, the User Song selected on that
screen will be used to record your performance data. Alternatively, if Type has been
set to “PreDrum” or “Wave”, indicating that a Preset Drum Pattern or Wave file is to be
used as the backing track, an empty User Song will be automatically selected for
recording of your performance data. If, however, no empty User Songs are available,
a message will be displayed to notify you of this. In order to proceed with recording in
such a case, you will first of all need to delete an unneeded User Song via the Song
Setting screen (page 35).

Wave
When this option is selected, your performance will be stored as a Wave file on a USB
flash-memory device plugged into the stage piano, and an unused name will be automatically chosen for that file.

Name

This parameter is available only when Rec is set to “Wave”. In such a case,
press Knob 3 to open the Name screen and specify a new name for the Wave
file to be recorded. On this screen, you can turn Knob 1 (Cursor) to move the
cursor within the displayed name. Then, using Knob 2 (Data), you can change
the character at the cursor position. Wave file names can contain upper case
letters, numbers, and symbols. When you have finished specifying a name,
press the [ENTER] button to return to Page 1 of the Record screen. If a Wave
file with the same name already exists on the USB flash-memory device
plugged into your CP5 or CP50, an error message will be displayed when you
try to start recording. In such a case, specify a different name and press the
[ENTER] button once again. To return to the Record screen without specifying a
new name, press the [EXIT] button.

can be edited after recording, these two characters should not be removed.
When compared with the volume of performances on the keyboard, the
volume of Wave files recorded on the stage piano is extremely low;
accordingly, the playback level is automatically increased for Wave files with
} and { characters in the positions indicated in order to maintain a good
balance between keyboard and playback levels.

(Velocity Curve)

R [COMMON]

norm
(Normal)

The Normal curve produces velocities in direct proportion to the strength
of your keyboard playing.

TRACK Part

soft

The Soft curve makes it easier to produce high velocities across the
entire keyboard.

hard

The Hard curve makes it more difficult to produce high velocities across
the entire keyboard.

wide

The Wide curve accentuates your playing strength by producing lower
velocities in response to softer playing and louder velocities in response
to harder playing. As such, you can use this setting to expand the
dynamic range of your performances.
The Fixed curve can be used to send a fixed velocity to the Tone Generator regardless of how hard or soft you play the keyboard. When
selected, you can adjust FixdLvl using Knob 2 to set the actual velocity
to be sent between 1 and 127.

This parameter is available only when VelCrv has been set to “fixed”. Regardless of
the actual strength of playing, velocities at this level will be sent for all keys played.
Setting values: 1 to 127

TunCrv (Tuning
Curve)

This parameter is used to select one of two tuning characteristics for the entire keyboard.
Setting values: flat or stretch
flat

With the Flat curve, the frequency (in Hertz) doubles for each octave
increment between keys across the entire keyboard.

stretch

The Stretch curve models the characteristic response of an acoustic
piano. When compared with the Flat curve, lower keys are tuned slightly
flatter; higher keys, slightly sharper.

NOTE Not all piano voices are affected by the “stretch” setting. For more details, refer to
the PIANO and E.PIANO voice lists (page 12).

stage piano's built-in Tone Generator is essentially disconnected from the keyboard
and controllers, and no sound will be produced in response to playing of the keyboard. The stage piano does, however, continue to transmit MIDI messages when
LocalSw has been set to “off”, and the Tone Generator will continue to produce
sound in response to MIDI messages received from external devices.
Setting values: on or off
This parameter is used to set a MIDI device number for your CP5 or CP50. In order to
successfully exchange Bulk Dump data, parameter changes, or other system exclusive messages, this number must match the Device Number of the external MIDI
device.

TrnsRcvSw
(Transmit &

Playback will be synchronized with the built-in clock. Use this setting
when your CP5 or CP50 is to be used alone or as the master clock
source for other equipment.
Playback will be synchronized with an external clock on another MIDI
device. Use this setting when the external MIDI device is to be used as
master. In such a case, be sure to setup the external MIDI device to
transmit MIDI Clock messages to the stage piano.
MIDI Clock messages received from an external device will be prioritized over the stage piano’s current tempo. In other words, playback will
be synchronized to MIDI Clock messages whenever they are received,
and the internal tempo will be used in all other cases. This setting is useful when you wish to alternate between synchronization with the external
and built-in clocks (by turning the former on and off).

Appendix
MIDI
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is a global standard designed to allow performance, voice, and other data to
be transferred between musical instruments As such, data communication is assured even between musical instruments
and equipment from different manufacturers.
In addition to data generated by playing the keyboard or selecting a Performance, a wide range of other information
types — such as tempo and instrument controls — can also be exchanged via MIDI. Using the powerful functionality
provided by this technology, therefore, you can not only play other instruments using your CP5 or CP50 keyboard and
controllers, but you can also change pan and reverb settings for each part and adjust audio effect settings. In fact,
practically all of the parameters that can be set using the CP5 or CP50 control panel can also be remotely controlled from
another MIDI device.
In this section, data and values will be displayed in binary, decimal, and hexadecimal formats. In order to indicate
hexadecimal values, an “H” is displayed at the beginning of the data line or after the values themselves. Furthermore, “n”
is used to represent an arbitrary integer (or whole number).

MIDI Channels

MIDI cable

Any item of MIDI performance data can be transmitted
and received on one of sixteen MIDI channels. Therefore,
performance data for up to sixteen different instrument
parts can be simultaneously exchanged over a single
MIDI cable.
MIDI channels are very similar in nature to TV channels,
in that each TV station transmits its broadcasts on a specific channel. Your TV, for example, receives many different programs at the same time from different TV stations,
and you select which program to watch by choosing the
corresponding channel.
Weather Report

News

In much the same way, multiple transmitting devices in a
MIDI system can each be set to send data on a separate
channel (i.e., a MIDI Transmit channel), which link with
the system’s receiving devices via MIDI cables. If a
receiving device’s MIDI channel (i.e., a MIDI Receive
channel) matches a MIDI Transmit channel, the receiving
device will produce sound according to the data sent by
the corresponding transmitting device. For details
regarding MIDI Transmit and MIDI Receive channels, see
page 45 of the Reference section.

Supported MIDI Message Types
Broadly speaking, MIDI messages can be divided into
two groups — channel messages and system messages.
A description of each different type of channel message
and system message supported by the CP5 or CP50 is
provided below. Further details can be found in the MIDI
Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart sections of
the Data List booklet.

CP5 or CP50

Channel Messages
MIDI channel messages contain performance-related
information, and each one is sent on a specific MIDI
channel.
 Note On & Note Off
Note On and Note Off messages are generated when a
keyboard is played. Specifically, a Note On message is
produced when a key is pressed; a Note Off message,
when it is released. Each of these messages contains a
specific note number corresponding to the key that was
pressed, in addition to a velocity value indicating how
hard the key was struck.
MIDI note numbers range from 0 (C -2) to 127 (G8), with
middle C (C3) represented by 60. Velocity values, which
are contained within Note On messages only, range from
1 to 127.

Appendix > MIDI

 Control Change
MIDI Control Change messages are used to control
volume, stereo panning, and many other parameters, and
as shown below, each message type has its own unique
control number.
Bank Select MSB (Control No. 0)
Bank Select LSB (Control No. 32)
Bank Select MSB and LSB messages are used to remotely
select a memory bank from another MIDI device. The actual
bank to be selected is determined by combining the MSB and
LSB values. In terms of the CP5 or CP50, a Performance bank
can be set using the LSB value. Any selection will not, however,
become effective until the next Program Change message is
received. Whenever selecting a Performance from a new
memory bank in this way, therefore, it is good practice to send a
Bank Select MSB message, a Bank Select LSB message, and a
Program Change message together in this order. For more
details on memory banks and Performances, see the Data List
booklet.

Bank Entry MSB (Control No. 6)
Bank Entry LSB (Control No. 38)
Bank Entry MSB and LSB messages are used to set the
parameter selected using RPN MSB and RPN LSB messages
(see below). The actual value to be set is determined by
combining the MSB and LSB values.

Main Volume (Control No. 7)
Main Volume messages can be used to adjust the volume of
each part. Setting a value of 127 produces maximum volume,
while 0 silences the part in question. These messages can be
useful when adjusting the relative volumes of each part.

Pan (Control No. 10)
Pan messages can be used to adjust the stereo panning of each
part. Setting a value of 127 moves the sound fully to the right,
while 0 moves it to the far left and 64 places it in the middle of
the stereo field.

Expression (Control No. 11)
Expression messages can be used to change the level of
expression or intonation of each part. Setting a value of 127
produces maximum volume, while 0 silences the part in
question. These messages can be useful when you wish to
adjust the volume to add expression during performances.

Hold 1 (Control No. 64)
Hold 1 messages can be used to modify the sound of notes in
the same way as a piano’s Sustain pedal. Setting a value
between 64 and 127 turns sustain on, while values between 0
and 63 turn it off. When turned on, notes will sustain longer than
normal after the corresponding Note Off message is received.

Sostenuto (Control No. 66)
Sostenuto messages can be used to modify the sound of notes
in the same way as a piano’s Sostenuto pedal. Setting a value
between 64 and 127 turns sostenuto on, while values between 0
and 63 turn it off. If sostenuto is turned on while the note
generated by a specific Note On message is playing, it will be
sustained longer until the corresponding Note Off message is
received.

55

CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

Soft (Control No. 67)
Soft messages can be used to modify the sound of notes in the
same way as a piano’s Soft pedal. Setting a value between 64
and 127 turns soft on, reducing the volume and slightly softening
the timbre; meanwhile, values between 0 and 63 turn it off.

Release Time (Control No. 72)
Release Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG release
time for each part. Values of 0 to 127 correspond to offset values
of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or increase the release
time accordingly.

Decay Time (Control No. 75)
Decay Time messages can be used to adjust the AEG decay
time for each part. Setting values of 0 to 127 correspond to offset
values of -64 to +63, which are used to reduce or increase the
decay time accordingly. The larger the value, the longer it takes
for the sound to decay after the initial attack.

Effect 1 Depth (reverb send level) (Control No. 91)
Effect 1 Depth messages can be used to adjust a reverb effect’s
send level.

Data Increment (Control No. 96)
Data Decrement (Control No. 97)
Data Increment and Data Decrement messages can be used to
increment and decrement pitch bend sensitivity, fine tune, or
coarse tune in steps of 1 (assuming that the parameter to be
adjusted has been set in advance using RPN messages (see
below)).

RPN LSB (registered parameter number LSB)
(Control No. 100)
RPN MSB (registered parameter number MSB)
(Control No. 101)
RPN LSB and MSB messages are used primarily to facilitate the
setting of offset values for pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, and
other part parameters. In specific terms, the parameter to be
modified is first selected using these messages, and the abovementioned Data Increment and Data Decrement messages are
then used to change the parameter setting. It should be noted
that, once an RPN has been set, all subsequent data entry
messages on the same channel will affect the selected
parameter. After setting a parameter based on these messages,
therefore, it is wise to set the RPN to Null (7FH, 7FH) in order to
avoid unexpected changes. Your CP5 or CP50 supports
selection of the following parameters using RPN LSB and MSB
messages.

Number not specified; internal data will not
be changed.

 System Exclusive Messages
Used to perform bulk data dumps and to change
parameters, MIDI system exclusive messages contain a
device number, allowing them to operate as if on a
unique MIDI channel. In order for this type of message to
be exchanged between devices, both the sending and
receiving devices must be set to the same device
number. Using system exclusive messages, you can
control practically every parameter on the CP5 or CP50
from another MIDI device.
 System Realtime Messages
Active Sensing (FEH)
Active Sensing is a type of MIDI message used to prevent
unexpected results in cases where a MIDI cable is disconnected
or damaged while the instrument is being played. Upon the
receipt of an Active Sensing message, the CP5 or CP50 will
begin to monitor the status of connected MIDI cables. If no MIDI
data is received over the next 300 ms, the instrument will
conclude that a problem has occurred with a MIDI cable, and in
response, it will act as if an All Notes Off message and a Reset
All Controllers message had been received.

All Notes Off (Controller No.123)

Timing Clock (F8H)

An All Notes Off message is used to turn off all notes for each
part. If, however, Hold 1 or Sostenuto is turned on at this time,
notes will continue to play until these controllers are turned off.

Timing Clock messages are transmitted with a fixed interval (i.e.,
24 times per 1/4 note) to synchronize connected MIDI
instruments. To specify whether to use the stage piano’s internal
clock or clock signals received via MIDI, press the [UTILITY]
button followed by the [6] button, and then set the MIDISyn
parameter as required.

Omni Mode Off (Control No.124)
Omni Mode Off messages have the same effect as an All Notes
Off message. In addition, this message also sets the
instrument’s receive channel to 1.

Omni Mode On (Control No. 125)
Omni Mode On messages have the same effect as an All Notes
Off message. In addition, this message also sets the
instrument’s receive channel to “omni”.

 Program Change
MIDI Program Change messages are used to select
different Performances. When combined with Bank
Select MSB and LSB messages, furthermore, it is
possible to select Performances from any of the
instrument’s memory banks via MIDI.
For more details on memory banks and Performances,
see the Data List booklet.
NOTE

Program change numbers (0 to 127) are one less than the
corresponding number in the Data List document. To select
program No. 16, for example, you would need to send a message
with program change number 15.

 Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller
messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be
raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified
duration.

56

Rather than being associated with a specific channel,
MIDI system messages are used for synchronization of
devices and other behavior of the instrument as a whole.
