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 each of these blocks; and MIDI-related reference material. ( Using this Reference Manual ...
Page 3: Internal Design Of The Cp5 & Cp50
Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 Principal Components The internal design of your CP5 or CP50 is divided into three main sections — namely, the Tone Generator, the Song Set- ting area, and the Controller. Song Setting Area MIDI record...
Page 4: Tone Generator
RIGHT1/RIGHT MIC INPUT 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.
Page 5 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.
Page 6 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.
Page 7: Track Part
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.
Page 8 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).
Page 9 • 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).

Page 11: Controller
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.

(CP5 only) “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.

Page 15: Modulation Effect Block
D Chorus produces a chorus effect that is more natural sounding, softer, and wider. 816Cho (816Chorus) Famous for combining eight DX7s in a single rack unit, Yamaha's TX816 featured a thick, detuned chorus sound that is reproduced here by the 816Chorus modula- tion effect.

Page 17 The Tech Modulation effect applies a special type of modulation to the input signal. Effect category: Misc (MSC) EQ501 (EQ 501) EQ 501 is a five-band equalizer utilizing Yamaha’s Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology. Enhans (Harmonic Enhancer) Harmonic Enhancer adds higher-order harmonics to enhance a sound’s presence.

Page 48 All file for automatic loading must be set to either “AUTOLOAD.C5A” (CP5) or “AUTOLOAD.C6A” (CP50). Furthermore, the auto-load file must be saved to the root directory of a USB flash-memory device, and that device must be plugged into your stage piano before it is turned on.
Page 49 Load This function is used to read files containing CP5 or CP50 data from the root direc- tory of the plugged-in USB flash-memory device. The Load screen can be opened by pressing Knob 2. See page 51 for details regarding the content of this screen.
Page 50 Performance memory is not part of the User Memory and will not, therefore, be included in this file. All External Performance memory data will be saved as a single file. CP5 data will be given the file name EXTBANK.C5E; CP50 data, the filename EXTBANK.C6E.
Page 51 (and full name) Type This parameter is used to specify the type of file to be loaded into your CP5 or CP50. When you have selected the required type, press the [ENTER] button. Alternatively, you can press the [EXIT] button to return to Page 1 of the File screen. If no files of the specified type are pres- ent in the root directory of the USB flash-memory device plugged into your CP5 or CP50, it will not be possible to proceed to the next page using the [ENTER] button.
Page 52 A single performance from the specified file* will be loaded into the stage piano’s User Memory, overwriting the User Performance selected using the Dst parameter (below). (*: CP5 data has the extension .C5A; CP50 data, the extension .C6A.) An entire External Performance memory* will be loaded into the stage piano.
