Selecting A Performance - Yamaha CP5 Owner's Manual

Your CP5 or CP50 can store Performances in three main memory areas — namely, Preset Performance memory, 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 Performances that come ready-
made with your CP5 or CP50. This memory area comprises three individual memory banks — PRE1, PRE2, and PRE3 —
furthermore, four memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each memory bank, and each one of these
groups can hold ten Performances.
 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 comprises three individual memory banks — USR1, USR2, and USR3 — furthermore, four
memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each memory bank, and each one of these groups can hold ten
Performances.
 External Performance Memory
Accessed using the [EXT] button, External Performance memories are read into your CP5 or CP50 from a USB flash-
memory device. As with the User Performance memory, each External Performance memory can be used to save original
Performances that you create. This memory area comprises three individual memory banks — EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3 —
furthermore, four memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each memory bank, and each one of these groups
can hold ten Performances. In order to use an External Performance memory stored on a USB flash-memory device, the
device must be plugged into the CP5 or CP50, and the stage piano must have loaded the memory into its DRAM.
NOTE
For more details on Performance memory areas, refer to the Reference Manual pdf document.
