Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE
03: Controller
The Controller screen is used to set controller assignments that affect all of the instrument’s
performances. Controllers connected to the stage piano can be assigned MIDI control change
numbers. This allows you to, for example, change the intensity of an effect or apply modulation
using a controller.
NOTE
An external sequencer or MIDI controller can be used to control parameters for which the stage piano
does not have its own external controller.
DevNo
(Device Number)
This parameter can be used to set a MIDI device number for the stage
piano. In order to successfully exchange bulk data, parameter changes, or
other system exclusive messages with another MIDI device, this number
must match the device’s.
Settings:
1 to 16, all, and off
NOTE
When this parameter is set to “all”, Device Number 1 is used for bulk data sent
from the stage piano.
Parameter name
Description
Sustain
(Foot Switch Sustain
Select)
This parameter can be used to specify the type of foot switch connected to
the [SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel.
If using an FC3A (included): Select “FC3 Half On” when you wish to use the
half-damper playing technique and “FC3 HalfOff” when you do not.
If using an FC4A or FC5 (optional): Select “FC4/5”. (Half-damper playing is
not possible with these foot switches.)
Settings:
FC3 Half On, FC3 HalfOff, and FC4/5
NOTE
Half-damper playing is also possible using Control Change messages from
another MIDI device. In such a case, there is no need to set the
Sustain
parameter.
FS
(Foot Switch Control
Number)
This parameter can be used to set a control change number for MIDI
messages produced by operating the foot switch connected to the
[ASSIGNABLE]
FOOT SWITCH jack. When MIDI messages with this control
change number are received from another MIDI device, the stage piano
treats them as if they had been produced by the foot switch.
Settings:
off, 01 to 95, 98 (Play/Stop), 99 (PC Inc), and 100 (PC Dec)
NOTE
If you set
FS
to “98 (Play/Stop)” and have an FC4A or FC5 Foot Switch
connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack, you will be able to
start and stop playback of audio files from a USB flash-memory device using
the foot switch. Alternatively, you can set
FS
to “99 (PC Inc)” or
“100 (PC Dec)” to change Performance numbers with the foot switch.
The following screenshot illustrates a typical setting.
Controller number [Controller name]
This setting shows the selected control change
number together with the corresponding controller
name in square brackets.
CP4 STAGE:
FC1
(Foot Controller 1
Control Number)
This parameter can be used to specify the control change number for MIDI
messages produced in response to operation of the foot controller
connected via the [1] FOOT CONTROLLER jack. Any MIDI messages
received from an external source with this control change number will also
be treated as if they had been produced by Foot Controller 1.
Settings:
off and 00 to 95
NOTE
Settings of “00” and “32” have no effect on the instrument and do not
generate MIDI data.
