For example, you can accurately align any out of time notes to the nearest 8th or 16th-note beat depending on the type of song you are quantizing.
Page 56 Page Copy The Copy function allows you to copy a section or all of the data on a track to another location. The destination may be on the same track, or it can be on another track. The destination of the copied data must either be: 1) A location that already has data in it.

Merge can be useful for making rhythm patterns by ﬁrst recording different drum/ percussion parts using the same drum kit on several tracks for easy editing of each instrument, or recording the right and left hand parts of a piano piece and combining them later on one track to free up extra tracks for more recording.
Page 59 Page Velocity Modify Velocity refers to how hard a key is struck, which translates into the dynamics of how loud the produced sound A note’s Velocity is a numerical value from 1-127.

Page 120: Virtual Technician
Page 8. Virtual Technician An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a ﬁne acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician menu of the CP piano features settings that simulate these reﬁnements digitally, allowing performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
Page 121: Touch Curve
Page 1) Touch Curve When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard a key is struck. The CP’s Normal Touch curve offers the standard feel of an acoustic piano for practicing music. The CP offers ﬁve other touch curves ranging from light to heavy.
Page 122: Virtual Voicing
Page Step 3 Touch the CREATE button when you ﬁnish playing. The CP will analyze your playing and create a custom touch curve for you based upon your playing style. The User Touch Exec screen will be displayed. Use the Dial to select either User 1 or User 2 as the location for your new touch curve.
Page 123: Resonance
Page 3) Resonance Damper Resonance When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate freely. In this condition, when you play a note not only will the strings for the note you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate due to sympathetic resonance.
Page 124: Pedal Settings
Page 5) Pedal Settings Half Pedal Point The Half-Pedal Adjust setting allows the point at which the damper/sustain pedal becomes effective (i.e. when the dampers of the piano begin to lift from the strings) to be adjusted. This setting may be useful for pianists that habitually rest their right foot on the damper/sustain pedal, but do not necessarily wish to sustain the sound.
Page 125: Brief Explanation Of Temperaments
Page Brief Explanation of Temperaments Equal Temperament (Flat) This is an “unstretched” equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance. Equal Temperament (Stretched) This is the most popular piano temperament and is the initial setting.
Page 126: Stretch
Page 7) Stretch Stretch tuning is a piano-speciﬁc tuning method in which the tuning for the lower notes is slightly lower and the tuning for the higher notes is slightly higher than the settings made in the Equal temperament. The Stretch setting allows the degree of stretch tuning to be adjusted when Equal (piano) or Equal temperament are selected.
Page 127: Key Volume
Page 8) 88 Key Volume The 88 Key Volume settings allows the volume of each of the 88-keys to be adjusted individually. It is possible to create four different user key volume types. The key volume is consistent for every key. User1~4 Custom key volumes for each key..
Page 128: Hammer Delay
Page 9) Hammer Delay When playing pianissimo passages using an acoustic piano, there may be a perceived delay between a key being pressed and the hammer striking the strings. The Hammer Delay setting allows this delay to be adjusted. You can select the amount of delay from Off, 1 to 10.
Page 129: Decay Time
Page 11) Decay Time When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument inﬂuences the speed at which held notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer decay times. The Decay Time setting allows the length of decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted.
Page 130: Mic Harmony & Effects
Page 9. Mic Harmony & Mic Effects The Concert Performer includes a microphone input jack. You can plug in a microphone and sing while playing on the CP. You can also “mic” other instruments or plug other electric instruments into the microphone input. The Mic Harmony and Mic Effect buttons add various harmonies and effects to your mic input.

Page 133: Mic Effects
Page 2) Mic Effects There are ﬁve different Mic Effects available to enhance the audio signal (Voice or instrument sound) coming from the microphone jack. All effects, except the Echo/Vibrato, operate independently of one another. The Mic Effects function is separate from the Effects assigned to the keyboard Parts. Therefore, you can use different effects on the keyboard sounds and on Vocal/instrument sounds from the microphone.
