Performance

In the CP1, we have recreated the unique sounds not only of acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, and synthesizer piano voices, but also of the 

effect units, amplifiers, and other equipment commonly used with each in actual performance and recording settings. As shown below, these 

instruments and devices are recreated as four different types of structural block – namely, Piano, Modulation Effect, Power Amplifier/Compressor, 

and Reverb – and CP1 voices are fashioned by arranging these blocks with the instrument's customization function. Referred to as Performances, 

these voices can then be optimized for the current playing environment using a common Master Equalizer, affecting the instrument as a whole. 

Within these pages, you will find an introduction to the various different piano sounds, effects, and amplifiers provided by the blocks used to 

configure CP1 Performances. We hope that you will find the following descriptions, diagrams, and photographs useful in gaining a deeper 

appreciation of what this wonderful instrument has to offer, and in addition, that this booklet will serve as a convenient reference when using the 

CP1's unique customization feature.
