Playing Voices
Each CP4 STAGE Performance can contain three
different Parts (MAIN, LAYER, and SPLIT); each
CP40 STAGE Performance can contain two (MAIN and
SPLIT/LAYER). A Voice is assigned to each of these
Parts. Only the name of the MAIN Part’s Voice is shown
on the Performance screen when the instrument is turned
on in its default condition, and only this Voice is set to
produce a sound (i.e., only the [MAIN] button is lit).
Performance screen
Changing Voices
The various different Voices on your stage piano are
arranged into a number of categories. Each category
represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or
organ, or a sound genre. When changing Voices, you will
first need to select the desired category.
The following procedure describes how to select and
audition a number of different MAIN Part Voices.
NOTE
A full list of your stage piano’s Voices and categories can be
found in the
Data List (pdf).
1
Press a Voice Category button on the right of
the control panel to select the category of
Voice you wish to use.
2
Turn the Data Dial (located in the center of the
control panel) to select a Voice from the
current category.
NOTE
You can also use the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons to
change the Voice.
3
Play the keyboard to hear how the selected
Voice sounds.
4
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 above to audition a range
of different Voices.
Tip
Quick Reset function
The procedures described in this section assume that
the stage piano has just been turned on in its default
condition — that is, with no changes made to its
settings and the Performance screen displayed. If,
however, you have changed settings or cannot return
to that configuration, you can press the [ENTER]
button with the [SHIFT] button held down to initialize
the currently selected Performance.
NOTICE
Unsaved edits are restored to their original condition by
the Quick Reset function. Be sure, therefore, to store
(page 34) all important data before executing it.
NOTE
The default conditions for the various Parts are as
