Restoring initial settings As described below, the Factory Set function can be used to restore your stage piano’s User Memory to its initial condition. When execu ted, all Performances and Utility settings stored in User Memory will be returned to their defaults. This can prove useful when you have accidentally overwritten some of the User Memory’s default Performances and Utility settings. NOTICE When the Factory Set function is executed, all Performances and Utility settings currently stored in User Memory will be overwritten with their defaults. It is wise, therefore, to regularly create backup copies of important data on a USB flash-memory device or the like (page 39). 1Press the [UTILITY] button. The Utility menu will be displayed. 2Use the [ E] button to select 07: Job, and then press the [ENTER] button.

The following confirmation message will be displayed before executing the Factory Set function. Press the [-1/NO] button if you do not wish to proceed. In addition, you can also return to the Performance screen by pressing the [EXIT] button several times. NOTICE If you set the PowerOn Auto parameter to “on” before executing the Factory Set function, the function will then execute automatically whenever you subsequently turn on your stage piano. As this can result in the loss of important settings and data, we recommend that the parameter normally be set to “off” . When you return the PowerOn Auto parameter from “on” to “off” , you must execute the Factory Set function in this condition to store the new setting. 5Press the [+1/YES] button. The Factory Set function will be executed. NOTICE You should never turn off the stage piano while the Factory Set function is executing — that is, while the message is displayed on-screen. If this precaution is not observed, the content of User Memory may be lost and system data may become corrupted, preventing the instrument from operating normally the next time it is turned on. 6Press the [EXIT] button the required number of times to exit the Utility area. 65*-*5: .B (FOFSBM 0033 000FTUFS5VOF 5SOTQT 0026 000F)[ 0025 65*-*5: +0# 0025 BDUPSZ4FU +PC BDUPSZ4FU 1PXFS0O VUP 0033PGG SF ZPV TVSF
44CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual Quick Start Guide Using with a Computer Although your stage piano is exceptionally powerful and versatile all by itself, connecting it to a computer allows for even greater convenience and flexibility. For example, when connected in this way, you can integrate the instrument with DAW appli cations and other music creation software. NOTEDAW is an abbreviation of digital audio workstation, and DAW applications such as Cubase, Logic, SONAR, and Digital Performer can be used to record, edit, and mix audio on a computer. Some of the options available to you with your stage piano connected to a computer are as follows: • Use the instrument as an ex ternal sound source and/or MIDI keyboard for a DAW application. • Use an audio interface or the like to record yourself playing the stage piano in audio format on a DAW application. • Record yourself playing the stage piano in MIDI format on a DAW application. Establishing a connection In order to connect your stage piano to a computer and exchange MIDI data, you will need a USB cable and the correct USB-MIDI driver. The following describes how this type of connection can be established: 1Download the latest version of the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver from the following web page. Expand the driver packag e when it has finished downloading. http://download.yamaha.com/ NOTE • Information on system requirements can also be found on the above web page. • The USB-MIDI driver may be revised and updated without prior notice. Before installing, visit the above web page to confirm the latest related information and ensure that you have the most up-to-date version. 2Install the USB-MIDI driver on your computer. For instructions, refer to the Installation Guide included in the download ed driver package. When asked to connect the [TO HOST] USB terminal on your instrument to the computer using a USB cable, do so as shown at the top-right. 3Setup your stage piano to allow MIDI data to be exchanged via the [TO HOST] USB terminal. This setting can be made as follows on the MIDI screen from the Utility area. Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI using [V] and [ E]; press [ENTER]; set IN/OUT to “USB”. 4Press the [STORE] button to store this setting. NOTERefer to the installation guide that came with your DAW application for details on how it should be installed on your computer. Precautions when using the [TO HOST] USB terminal When connecting your stage piano to a computer via the [TO HOST] USB terminal, be sure to observe the following precautions. Failing to do so risks freezing your computer and corrupting or losing data. If your stage piano or comp uter should freeze, try restarting the application being used, rebooting the computer, and turning off the stage piano once and then back on. NOTICE Use a USB A-B cable. Do not use a USB 3.0 cable. Before connecting to a computer via the [TO HOST] USB terminal, restore it from any power-saving mode (such as Suspend, Sleep, or Standby). Connect the computer via the [TO HOST] USB terminal before turning on your stage piano. Be sure to always perform the following steps before turning on or off the stage piano and either plugging in or unplugging a USB cable. - Quit all applications. - Ensure that no data is being sent from the stage piano. (Note that even playing a key causes data to be sent.) When connected to a computer, allow at least six seconds to pass between turning on and off the stage piano and plugging in and unplugging the USB cable. Stage piano’s rear panel USB cable
CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Owner’s Manual45 Quick Start Guide Using with a Portable Music Player With a portable music player connected via the stage piano’s [AUX IN] stereo mini-jack, you will be able, for example, to listen to it on the stage piano’s headphones and play along with your favorite tunes. To do so, proceed as follows: 1Connect the portable music player via the stage piano’s [AUX IN] jack. NOTE • Whenever making a connection, ensure that the plugs on the cable being used match the shapes of the jacks on each device. • Before making connections, ensure that the volumes on all devices are turned fully down. 2Start playback on the connected portable music player. Audio from the portable music player will be output from the stage piano together with its own sound. NOTEUse the volume control on the connected device to balance its volume with that of the stage piano. 3Play the keyboard along with the music. 4When you have finished practicing, stop playback on the connected portable music player. Using with Other MIDI Devices Using standard MIDI cables (sold separately), you can connect other MIDI devices such as synthesizers and sound modules to the stage piano via its [IN] and [OUT] MIDI terminals. This type of connection allows you to exchange MIDI data with these devices. In addition to the two built-in MIDI terminals, the [TO HOST] USB terminal can also be used to exchange MIDI data. However, it is not possible to exchange MIDI messages via the MIDI terminals and the [TO HOST] USB terminal at the same time. You will need to select which interface to use for this purpose on the MIDI screen from the Utility area. For example, you can select the MIDI terminals using the following procedure: Press [UTILITY]; select 02: MIDI using [V] and [ E]; press [ENTER]; set IN/OUT to “MIDI”; press [STORE]. In addition, your stag e piano and connected MIDI devices will need to be using the same MIDI transmit and receive channels in order to communicate with one another. Controlling MIDI tone generators using your stage piano Using the Master Keyboard function, you can play other MIDI tone generators via th e stage piano’s keyboard. In fact, you can even split the keyboard into four different zones, each of which can then control another device. This allows you to play multiple Voices produced by other MIDI devices along with the stage piano’s.
