Editing Performances
While the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a wide range of Performances already built-in, you can
also create your own. The process of editing a Performance involves changing its Part's Voice assignments
and various other parameters. Parameters that affect a specific Part are referred to as Part parameters; those
affecting all Parts are referred to as Common parameters.
NOTE
For details on the parameters that can be edited to create Performances, refer to Performance Editing
Storing Performances internally
When you are happy with the Performance that you are editing, it must be stored on the instrument if you
intend to use it again at a later date. At this time, you can choose a Performance from the stage piano's User
Memory (page 12) to overwrite with your edited Performance. Alternatively, you can store without specifying
a different Performance, and this will result in the current Performance being overwritten.
NOTE
For details on the procedure for storing Performances, refer to the description of the Store Performance function
details on the procedure for renaming a Performance, refer to the description of the Name screen
Performance Common Edit area.
Saving Performances externally
Performances stored on the stage piano can also be saved to a USB flash-memory device. You will need to
carry out this procedure if you create more original Performances than can be stored internally or if you wish
to create a backup of your Performances. While Performances can be stored internally on an individual
basis, all Performances from User Memory are saved together to a USB flash-memory device as a single All-
type file. The extension .C7A is used for CP4 STAGE Performances; the extension .C8A, for CP40 STAGE
Performances. In addition, Performances saved as an All-type file to a USB flash-memory device can be
loaded together back into the stage piano. Alternatively, any one of the Performances from the saved file can
be selected and loaded individually.
NOTE
For details on the procedure for saving Performances externally, refer to the description of the Save screen
File area.
NOTE
For details on the procedure for loading Performances back into the stage piano, refer to the description of the Load screen
(page 33) from the File area.
