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 Modu-

lation 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 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 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 sepa-

rately 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.

Each Performance comprises a number of different parts and a Reverb block. As shown below, CP5 Performances con-

tain 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.

5 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.

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 record-

ing settings. Using the Piano Customize function to freely assemble blocks, you can both replicate standard vintage set-

tings 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 fin-

ishing. In addition, Performances also contain a Common Settings area that allows a name, a keyboard mode, and con-

troller 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 Compres-

sor 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 repro-

duce 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, gui-

tar, 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 docu-

ment.

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 cate-

gory). In addition to pre-amplifiers actually used with various types of pianos in live performance settings, the Pre-Ampli-

fier 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 par-

ticular voice will be made available in the Pre-Amplifier block. For details on Pre-Amplifier block parameters, see Pre-

Amplifier 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 Modula-

tion Effect 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 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 fea-

tures 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 sec-

tion 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.

7 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 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 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 set-

tings for the audio input via this connector. Furthermore, this audio can also be processed using a noise gate, compres-

sor, 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 Perfor-

mances. Press one of the group buttons [A] to [D] followed by one of the number buttons [1] to [10] to choose the corre-

sponding 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 mem-

ory 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] fol-

lowed 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 corre-

sponding 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.

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).

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 flash-

memory 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.

10 CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

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.

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 cur-

rent 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 set-

tings. As these MIDI sequences are recorded using the sound of the left and right parts, they function perfectly as back-

ing tracks for the corresponding Performance.

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. Specifi-

cally 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.

PIANO Category

CF Grand* The CF Grand piano has a straightforward sound, making it suitable for practically all musical

genres. Featuring a broad dynamic range, this piano type provides for highly expressive perfor-

mances.

S6 Grand*

(CP5 only)

In contrast to the two CF-series pianos, the S6 Grand has a more compact, woody sound. Allowing

you to play with both warmth and power, it is ideal for a diverse range of musical genres.

E. PIANO Category

CP80* Reproducing the classic sound of the Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand Piano, the CP80 piano type can

also be used to recreate an unique “Eighties” feel by boosting the high frequencies with the accom-

panying pre-amplifier.

CP88* The CP88 piano and accompanying pre-amplifier deliver a nostalgia-laden sound distinctive of the

Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand Piano, particularly in the mid-frequency range.

71Rd I

(CP5 only)

The 71Rd I is the earliest-sounding of the CP5's Rd-series electric pianos. With the soft attack and

fast decay distinctive of felt hammers, it produces a mellow, hollow tone.

73Rd I

(CP5 only)

The 73Rd I piano replicates an electric piano with rubber-topped hammers, and compared to the

71 Rd I, it has a slightly brighter, more sustained tone. Overall, this Rd-series piano produces a

dark, heavy sound.

75Rd I The 75Rd I piano reproduces the bright, sustained sound of an electric piano featuring high-perfor-

mance versions of tines, pickups, and other sound-generating components.

78Rd II

(CP5 only)

Replicating the effect of plastic hammers and a high-fidelity, integrated-circuit pre-amplifier, the

78Rd II boasts the brightest sound of the Rd series.

Dyno

(CP5 only)

The Dyno piano type significantly boosts the high-frequency range of the 78Rd II to give a sparkling

“Eighties” sound.

69Wr In contrast to the Rd piano types provided by the CP5 or CP50. the 69Wr is characterized by a gen-

tle attack and fast decay. Furthermore, this piano type features a tight dynamic range.

77Wr Rounding off the vintage electric piano lineup of CP5 or CP50, the 77Wr piano type features a stron-

ger attack and more brilliant overall tone than the 69Wr.

DX Legend The DX Legend reproduces the indispensable vintage sound of the DX electric piano, which

remains a classic even to this day.

NOTE Piano types marked with an asterisk (*) can have their tuning adjusted by setting the TunCrv parameter (Tuning Curve)

to “stretch” (page 44).

Pre-Amplifier Block

The Pre-Amplifier block has an effect on the sound only when a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO

category has been selected for the part in question. In such a case, furthermore, a unique set of

parameters specifically for the selected type of piano will be made available in this block.

Configuring Pre-Amplifier Block Parameters

Pre-Amplifier block parameters are chosen automatically based on the type of piano voice selected

so that the sound of that voice can be perfectly adjusted. For this reason, the parameters displayed

will vary from voice to voice. In the following table, you will find a description of all of this block’s

parameters in alphabetic order.

DX Woody With its rich, woody body, the DX Woody voice delivers a mellower electric-piano sound.

DX FTine Recreating a classic voice from the DX electric piano, the DX FTine shows off the characteristic

attack sound of this instrument.

DX 7 II With the body portion of the sound changing in response to how you play, the DX 7 II will allow you

to experience the wonderful richness of expression for which the DX electric piano was renowned.

DX Mellow The DX Mellow voice is gentle and well suited to ballads; however, powerful playing will still pro-

duce a much harder sound.

DX Crisp Although relatively full-bodied, the DX Crisp remains highly present within an ensemble thanks to its

unique attack sound.

Modulation Effect Block

Using a Modulation Effect block, an audio effect can be applied to the part’s voice in order to mod-

ify its spatial characteristics.

Selecting Modulation Effect Block Types

The following tables identify and describe the different types of effect that can be selected in each

Modulation Effect block. If you have selected a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO category for the

current part, this block’s selection page will give priority to a group of effects specially designed for

piano voices (i.e., the modulation effects). A range of additional general-purpose effects can also

be selected from the block’s Other group. Meanwhile, if you have selected a non-piano voice, all of

these effects — including those primarily for piano voices — will be available for selection by cate-

gory as insertion effects.

For PIANO and E.PIANO voices:

Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block (CP5 only)

Using the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block, you can choose either a faithful recreation of one of

many power amplifiers used with electric pianos or a compressor to further enhance the sound cre-

ated by the currently-selected part's Voice and Modulation Effect blocks. This block is available on

the CP5 only.

Selecting Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block Types

The following table identifies and describes the different power amplifier / compressor types avail-

able within the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block. If you have selected a voice from the PIANO or

E.PIANO category for the current part, this block’s selection page will give priority to power amplifi-

ers and a compressor specially designed for piano voices. Furthermore, a range of general-pur-

pose effects can also be selected from the block’s Other group. Meanwhile, if you have selected a

non-piano voice, the power amplifiers, the compressor, and all other effects will be available for

selection as insertion effects.

For PIANO and E.PIANO voices:

1Volume This parameter is used to adjust the part’s output level.

Setting values: 0 to 127

Pan This parameter is used to adjust the part’s stereo panning.

Setting values: L63 (far left) to C (center) to R63 (far right)

RevSend (Reverb Send) This parameter is used to set how much of the part’s output signal is sent to

the Reverb block. Higher values produce a more pronounced reverb

sound.

Setting values: 0 to 127

2NoteSht (Note Shift) This parameter is used to adjust the part’s pitch in steps of one semitone.

Setting values: -24 to +24 (semitones)

Detune This parameter is used to fine tune the part’s pitch in steps of 0.1 Hertz.

Setting values: -12.8 to +12.7 (Hz)

PBRange

(Pitch Bend Range)

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 set-

ting 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

3TuningNo.

(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 corre-

sponding 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.

(Micro Tuning Number)

05 Werckmeist (Werckmeister)

06 Kirnberger

The Werckmeister and Kirnberger scales improve the mean-tone and

Pythagorean scales by combining them in different ways. Both are uniquely

characterized by the way in which modulation can change the nuances of

individual songs. Often applied during the time of Bach and Beethoven,

they are used today to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

TunRoot

(Micro Tuning Root)

This parameter is used to select the root note for the part’s tuning system.

No setting is required in the case of certain tuning systems.

Setting values: C to B

4PrtMode (Part Mode) This parameter is used to specify the part’s playing mode.

Setting values: mono (monophonic) or poly (polyphonic)

mono

Only one note will be sounded at any time, regardless of how many keys are

played. For many instrument sounds (such as bass and synth lead), this allows a

more natural and smoother sounding legato performance than “poly”.

poly

Multiple notes and chords can be played.

VelDpt

(Velocity Sensitivity Depth)

This parameter is used to define how the velocity with which the keys are

played affects the MIDI velocities actually sent from the current part. As

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

no effect on the sound produced.

Setting values: 0 to 127

VelOfs

(Velocity Sensitivity Offset)

This parameter is used to raise or lower all MIDI velocities sent from the

current part. As shown in the graphs, 64 is subtracted from the value set

here to determine the actual amount by which the MIDI velocities are

adjusted. That said, however, if the resultant MIDI velocity is less than 1, a

value of 1 is set; similarly, if the resultant MIDI velocity is greater than 127, a

value of 127 is set.

which a filter cuts unwanted frequencies. By setting the cutoff frequency,

you can change the way in which the filter affects the sound of the part.

This parameter is used to increase or decrease the cutoff frequency relative

to that set for the current part.

Setting values: -64 to +0 to +63

F.Reso (Filter Resonance) This parameter is used to increase or decrease the filter resonance relative

to that set for the current part.

Setting values: -64 to +0 to +63

7EGAtk (AEG Attack Time)

EGDcy (AEG Decay Time)

EGRel (AEG Release

Time)

These parameters are used to adjust the attack, decay, and release times

for the part’s amplitude envelope generator. The higher the value set, the

longer it will take for the amplitude to reach the next level (i.e., the slower

the change in volume).

Setting values: -16 to +16

EGAtk (AEG Attack Time)

Sets the amount of time it takes for the amplitude to reach its maximum

level after a key is played.

EGDcy (AEG Decay Time)

Sets the amount of time it takes for the amplitude to drop to the decay level

after reaching its maximum.

unchanged. If these characters were to be modified, the replay volume on

your stage piano would become extremely low as a result.

CAUTION

If you have selected a Wave file that was not recorded using your CP5 or

CP50, be sure not to add } and { as the 7th and 8th characters of the file

name. Failure to observe this precaution could lead to extremely high vol-

umes upon playback (as the output level is increased automatically when-

ever these characters are in the positions indicated).

Delete Knob 2 can be pressed on this page to delete unneeded backing data. When

you do so, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to proceed with deletion.

1Rec (Recording Type) 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 auto-

matically 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.

Name screen

NOTE Whenever Wave files are being recorded on your CP5 or CP50, the

characters } and { are automatically added to the file name at the 7th and

8th positions, and they cannot be changed on this screen. Although names

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.

(Master Tuning)

This parameter is used to adjust the tuning of all sounds produced by the stage

piano's built-in Tone Generator in units of one cent.

NOTE The CP5 or CP50 default tuning is 440 Hz for A3, and 4 cents are roughly

equivalent to 1 Hz.

Setting values: -102.4 to +102.3 (cents)

2VelCrv

(Velocity Curve)

This parameter is used to select a curve for determining how the actual velocities will

be generated and transmitted according to the strength with which you play notes on

the keyboard.

Setting values: norm (Normal), soft, hard, wide, or fixed

norm

(Normal)

The Normal curve produces velocities in direct proportion to the strength

of your keyboard playing.

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.

fixed The Fixed curve can be used to send a fixed velocity to the Tone Gener-

ator 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.

FixdLvl (Fixed

Level)

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 key-

board.

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).

to “on”, the TxCh parameter will have no effect and MIDI messages will be

transmitted in line with that screen’s TransCh settings (page 32).

LocalSw (Local

Control Switch)

This parameter is used to turn local control on and off. When “off” is selected, the

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 key-

board. 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

6DevNo.

(Device Number)

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 exclu-

sive messages, this number must match the Device Number of the external MIDI

device.

Setting values: 1 to 16, all, or off

all System exclusive messages for all MIDI device numbers will be

received. Meanwhile, data will be transmitted from the stage piano using

Device Number 1.

off No exchange of Bulk Dump data, parameter settings, or other system

exclusive messages with other devices will be possible. In addition, an

error message may be displayed if you attempt to perform such an oper-

ation.

6MIDISyn (MIDI

Synchronization)

This parameter is used to specify whether playback of User Songs or Preset Drum

Patterns on your CP5 or CP50 is to be synchronized with the built-in clock or with an

external clock from a connected MIDI device.

Setting values: int (internal), ext (external), or auto

int (Internal) 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.

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.

auto MIDI Clock messages received from an external device will be priori-

tized 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 use-

ful when you wish to alternate between synchronization with the external

and built-in clocks (by turning the former on and off).

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

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 spe-

cific channel. Your TV, for example, receives many differ-

ent programs at the same time from different TV stations,

and you select which program to watch by choosing the

corresponding channel.

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.

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.

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.

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 above-

mentioned 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.

RPN MSB RPN LSB Parameter name

00H 00H Pitch Bend Sensitivity

7FH 7FH RPN Null

56 CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

Appendix > MIDI

Channel Mode Messages

All Sound Off (Control No. 120)

All Sound Off messages are used to silence all sounds being

generated by both parts. Note that the status of channel

messages such as Hold 1 and Sostenuto is maintained in such a

case.

Reset All Controllers (Control No. 121)

A Reset All Controllers message is used to return each of the

following controllers to their default values.

All Notes Off (Controller No.123)

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.

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.

System Messages

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.

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.

Timing Clock (F8H)

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.
