CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE
02: MIDI
The MIDI screen is used to set the instrument’s MIDI-related parameters.
NOTE
Refer to the
Appendix
section (
) for more details regarding MIDI.
Parameter name
Description
IN/OUT
(MIDI IN/OUT)
This parameter can be used to set the interface used for exchanging MIDI
messages.
Settings:
MIDI and USB
MIDI:
MIDI messages will be exchanged via the [IN] and [OUT] MIDI terminals.
USB:
MIDI messages will be exchanged via the [TO HOST] USB terminal.
NOTE
It is not possible to exchange MIDI messages with another instrument via the
MIDI and USB interfaces at the same time. Be sure, therefore, to set this
parameter correctly in accordance with your equipment setup.
LocalSw
(Local Switch)
This parameter can be used to turn local control on and off. When “off” is
selected, the stage piano’s tone generator is essentially disconnected from
its controllers, and no sound will be produced in response to playing of the
keyboard. The stage piano does, however, continue to transmit MIDI
messages when
LocalSw
has been set to “off”, and the tone generator will
continue to produce sound in response to received MIDI messages.
Settings:
off (disconnected) and on (connected)
TxRxSw
(Transmit & Receive
Switch)
This parameter can be used to specify whether Bank Select and Program
Change MIDI messages are to be exchanged between the stage piano and
other MIDI devices.
Settings:
off, pgm, and bank&pgm
off:
Neither Bank Select nor Program Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and
received.
pgm (Program Change):
Program Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and
received, but Bank Select MIDI messages will not.
bank&pgm (Bank Select & Program Change):
Both Bank Select and Program
Change MIDI messages will be transmitted and received.
Sync
(MIDI Synchronization)
This parameter can be used to specify whether metronome playback or
tempo-dependent effect parameters should be controlled based on the
stage piano’s internal clock or on external clock messages received from a
DAW application on a connected computer or from a connected MIDI
device.
Settings:
int, ext, and auto
int (internal):
Synchronization is based on the internal clock. Use this setting when
your stage piano is to be used alone or as the master clock source for other
equipment.
ext (external):
Synchronization is based on clock messages received via MIDI. Use
this setting when an external device is to be used as master.
auto:
Clock messages received via MIDI will be prioritized over the stage piano’s
current tempo. If no such messages are received, synchronization will be based on
the internal clock set to the last tempo received via MIDI.
NOTE
When this parameter is set to “ext”, you will need to configure your DAW
application or external MIDI device to send MIDI Clock messages to the CP4
STAGE or CP40 STAGE.
ClockOut
(MIDI Clock Out)
This parameter can be used to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the sending of
MIDI Clock messages (i.e., F8 Timing Clock) via the MIDI [OUT] terminal.
Settings:
on and off
BasicCh
(Basic Channel)
This parameter can be used to set the channel for transmission and
reception of Performance changes.
Settings:
1 to 16 and off
NOTE
Irrespective of this parameter’s setting, the channels for transmission and
reception of Part changes are permanently set to channels 1 to 3 for the CP4
STAGE or channels 1 and 2 for the CP40 STAGE.
