Page 10: Setting Up
CAUTION Even when the switch is in the OFF position, a small amount of electricity is still flowing to the unit. When you are not using the CP1 for a long time, make sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. -
Page 11: Connecting Audio Equipment
Connecting Audio Equipment The CP1 does not come with built-in speakers. In order to hear what you play, therefore, you will need to connect it to a stereo system or to an amplifier and speakers. You can also plug a set of headphones into the headphones jack in order to monitor the sound directly. -
Page 12: Connecting Pedals
CAUTION If the CP1 is setup on a flat surface such as a tabletop and the pedal plugs are oriented vertically downward as shown below after being plugged in, the base of each will be placed under considerable strain due to lack of space, possibly leading to cable breakage. -

[ ] (power) switch on the rear panel. If the CP1 is turned on with a USB flash-memory device already plugged in, it will either create an External Performance memory on the device (see page 22) or read External Performance data already present on the device into the instrument’s DRAM (see page 39) before displaying the main Performance screen. -
Page 14: Adjusting The Display Brightness
Adjusting the Volume The CP1’s output volume is adjusted using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial located at the left of the control panel. Whenever making adjustments using this dial, it is wise to listen to the actual volume as you play. -

The Master Equalizer block mentioned above is used to set EQ parameters that affect all Performances. In this way, you can adjust the tone of the CP1 to match the setup location so that it will always sound great, regardless of the Performance selected. -
Page 20: Roles The Tone Generator's Blocks & Parameters
The Common Settings area is used to set a name, a keyboard mode, and controllers for each Performance, in addition to pan, pitch, and velocity parameters for Part 1 and Part 2. If you wish to use your CP1 as a master keyboard capable of controlling other MIDI devices, the relevant settings are made here. -
Page 21: Makeup Of Performance Memory
Accessed using the [PRESET] button, the Preset Performance memory is used to hold the Performance presets that come ready-made with the CP1. Within this memory area, three individual memory banks — Preset A (PRE A), Preset B (PRE B), and Preset C (PRE C) — each hold 16 Preset Performances. In order that they will always be available for use, Preset Performances cannot be overwritten with other Performances that you have modified or created. - Page 22 Performance memory will be automatically loaded into the instrument’s DRAM. NOTE If a different USB flash-memory device has already been plugged in and removed after turning on the CP1, the instrument will operate in line with the description from Previously plugged in after turning on CP1 below.
-
Page 23: Controller Section
CP1 may freeze and cease operating. In addition, a USB flash-memory device should never be removed before it has been fully mounted or while it is being accessed by the CP1 in order to save or load data. Data on the flash-memory device or on the instrument itself may be corrupted as a result of such action, and there is also a danger that the USB flash-memory device could be permanently damaged. -

Basic CP1 Operations Basic CP1 Operations In this section, you will find a description both of the basic methods used to operate the CP1 and of the display content. Changing Pages The following screens presented on the CP1 display extend over a number of individual pages. -
Page 25: Setting Names
Setting Names A name can be freely assigned to each Performance that you create or modify on the CP1 (see page 51). Furthermore, it is also possible to specify names for files saved from the CP1 to a USB flash-memory device and for directories created on these memory devices (see page 60). -

For demonstration purposes, we will now go step by step through the procedure of selecting a Performance for playing. NOTE For details on the makeup of the memory areas used to store Performances, see Tone Generator from the section, Internal Design of the CP1 (page 19). -
Page 28: Using Knobs 1 To 6 To Change The Sound
Function of Assignable Knobs Knobs 1 to 6 from the CP1 control panel can be assigned to various parameters from the individual blocks or units making up each Performance. In specific terms, parameters from each Piano Type and Pre-Amplifier unit, from each Modulation Effect and Power-Amplifier / Compressor block, and from the Reverb block can be freely assigned to these knobs, and furthermore, each Performance can have a different set of assignments. - Page 29 Using CP1 Performances To move from the first page to the second page of the Performance screen, press the [PAGE ] button. Here, you can see both the names of the parameters assigned to each of the Knobs 1 to 6 and their current setting values, as shown below.

Page 30: Using Pedals
[SOFT] Foot-Switch Jack The Soft pedal, located on the left of the CP1 pedal unit, is connected to the [SOFT] foot-switch jack via the black plug. This pedal reduces the volume and slightly softens the timbre of notes played while it is pressed. The Soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing. -
Page 31: Bending Notes
Using CP1 Performances Bending Notes Using the pitch bend wheel located at the left of the keyboard, you can bend the pitch of notes up and down as you play. Notes are bent upward when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice versa. This wheel is self-centering and will, therefore, automatically return to the neutral position when released. - Page 32 As shown below, the way in which the buttons for each of the elements making up a Performance (with the exception of the Common Settings area) light up and turn off depends on the current CP1 setting condition. (The buttons in question are [PIANO 1], [PIANO 2], [PRE-AMPLIFIER 1], [PRE-AMPLIFIER 2], [MODULATION EFFECT 1], [MODULATION EFFECT 2], [POWER-AMPLIFIER/COMPRESSOR 1], [POWER-AMPLIFIER/COMPRESSOR 2], [REVERB], and [MASTER EQUALIZER].)

Page 35: Using The Cp1 With Other Midi Devices
NOTE Even when the CP1 is connected to other MIDI devices, you will need to connect a stereo system or an amplifier and speakers in order to hear the sound that it produces. Alternatively, a pair of headphones can always be connected for direct monitoring of the stage piano. For details, see Connecting Audio Equipment from the section, Setting Up (page 11). -
Page 36: Using The Cp1 With A Computer
NOTE In order to enjoy the sounds produced by the CP1, you will need to connect it to a stereo system or to an amplifier and speakers. Alternatively, a pair of headphones can always be connected for direct monitoring of the stage piano. For details, see Connecting Audio Equipment from the section, Setting Up (page 11). - Page 37 • Connect the computer via the [USB TO HOST] port before turning on the CP1. • Be sure to always perform the following steps before turning the CP1 on or off and either plugging or unplugging the USB cable. - Quit all applications.
-
Page 38: Activating And Deactivating Local Control
If local control of the CP1 is turned on (i.e., activated) at this time, the data produced by playing the keyboard will also be sent directly to the tone generator, and as a result, the direct and returned messages will overlap, causing each note to be played twice in quick succession. -
Page 39: Storing Settings
RAM is categorized into two different types based on the way in which content is stored — namely, static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM). It is the latter type that is used for your CP1’s Edit Buffer. As the data stored in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, any important content should be transferred to flash ROM (i.e., the User Performance... -

Storing Performances NOTE If you wish to save Performances within an External Performance memory on a USB flash-memory device, ensure that it is plugged into the CP1 in advance. When you are happy with the Performance being edited, press the [STORE] button. -
Page 41: Exchanging Files With Usb Flash-Memory Devices
For details on how to connect your CP1 to a computer, see page 36. NOTE In order to utilize the Bulk Dump function, the DevNo parameter must be used to set the CP1’s device number correctly. For details, see page 58 from the Reference section. -
Page 42: Restoring Initial Settings
The CP1 should never be turned off while the message “Executing...” is displayed on-screen. If this precaution is not observed, the content of the User Memory may be lost and other system data may become corrupted, preventing the CP1 from operating normally the next time it is turned on. -
