2 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Using the Manuals
Four different manuals have been prepared for your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE — the Owner’s Manual, this
Reference Manual, the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. A hard-copy version of the Owner’s
Manual comes together with the instrument, and the other three manuals are provided as pdf files on the
Yamaha Downloads web page.
Owners Manual (hardcopy booklet)
The Owner’s Manual describes how to set up your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE and perform basic
operations. In specific terms, it covers the following:
Reference Manual (this pdf document)
This Reference Manual describes the design of the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE and all of the parameters
that may be set.
Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf document)
The Synthesizer Parameter Manual provides a description of Voice parameters, effect types, effect
parameters, and MIDI messages often used on Yamaha electronic instruments. We recommend that you first
read the Owner’s Manual and this Reference Manual, and then refer to the Synthesizer Parameter Manual if
you wish to know more about a specific Voice parameter, effect, or the like.
Data List (pdf document)
The Data List provides tables of the Voices, Performances, and effects found on the CP4 STAGE and CP40
STAGE in addition to MIDI-related content.

4 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE
Makeup
In terms of sound production, the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE each comprises three blocks — namely, the
controllers, the tone generator, and the effect unit.
Controllers
In order that it may be played, the instrument features a range of controllers such as the keyboard, pitch
bend wheel, modulation wheel, and sliders. Performance data reflecting the pitch of each key played and
the velocity (or strength) with which it was played is sent to the tone generator in the form of MIDI messages.
Data generated by operating the wheels, sliders, pedals, and the like is also sent in the same way.
Keyboard
The keyboard is the main controller used to send performance information to the tone generator. Using the
[-] and [+] TRANSPOSE buttons, you can change the pitches of the keys in semitone units.
Pitch Bend Wheel
The pitch bend wheel can be used to control the pitch of played
notes in a continuously variable manner. Notes are bent upward
when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice
versa. When you release this wheel, the finger slot at the center will
automatically spring back to the original position, and the pitch will
return to normal. The pitch-bend range — that is, the degree to
which pitches can be varied using this wheel — can be set on the
Play Mode screen (page 17) from the Performance Part Edit area.
In addition to pitch bending, you can also assign control of an
insertion effect (page 11) parameter to the pitch bend wheel. To do
so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the Performance Part
Edit area.
Modulation Wheel
The modulation wheel is normally used to add vibrato and other
suitable effects to the played notes. The more the finger slot is
pushed away from you, the greater the intensity of the effect and
vice-versa. The effect is, therefore, minimized when the slot is
closest to the front of the instrument. If you do not want to apply the
modulation wheel’s effect, it should be returned to this position.
In addition to applying modulation, you can also assign control of a
parameter from an insertion effect (page 11) to the modulation
wheel. To do so, use the Controller screen (page 21) from the
Performance Part Edit area.

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers
Sliders
The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE are each equipped with two sets of sliders — the Part sliders and the
MASTER EQUALIZER (EQ) sliders.
Part sliders
Located on the left of the control panel, the Part sliders are used to adjust parameter levels for individual
Parts. There is one slider for each of the instrument’s Parts, and they can be used to adjust three parameters
— volume, chorus send, and reverb send. To change the parameter currently being adjusted, press the
[SLIDER FUNCTION] button located to the right of the sliders the required number of times. Moving the
sliders away from you increases the level of the current parameter and vice-versa.
NOTE For more details on using the Part sliders, refer to the Quick Start Guide section of the Owner’s Manual.
NOTE Operating the Part sliders also changes the settings of the Volume, ChoSend, and RevSend parameters from the Performance
Part Edit area’s Play Mode screen (page 17).
(Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.)
MASTER EQ sliders
The master EQ is used to adjust the overall tone of the instrument, and the MASTER EQ sliders control the
gain in individual frequency bands. Located on the right of the control panel, each of these sliders is
assigned to a different frequency band. Moving a slider away from you increases the gain in the
corresponding frequency band and vice-versa.

6 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Controllers
Pedals
Two different types of pedal can be used with the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE — foot switches, such as
the bundled FC3A and the optional FC4A and FC5, and a foot controller like the optional FC7.
Foot switches
The FC3A that comes with your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE should be connected via the [SUSTAIN] FOOT
SWITCH jack. This allows it to be used in the same way as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, causing
the notes played on the keyboard to sustain for longer. Instead of having the foot switch simply turn damping
on and off, you can also have the amount of sustain change depending on how much the pedal is operated.
This setting is made on the Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. Configured in this way, the piano
will produce longer notes when the foot switch is operated by a greater amount and vice-versa.
NOTE By default, the Sustain parameter from the Utility area’s Controller screen is set to “FC3 Half On”.
The FC4A and FC5 (sold separately) can be connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] FOOT SWITCH jack so that
various functions can be assigned to them. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from the
Performance Part Edit area, you can assign on/off switching of an insertion effect (page 11) to one of these
foot switches. Alternatively, you can assign a MIDI control change number to an FC4A or FC5 on the
Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The foot switch will then control the corresponding
parameter when operated. It should be noted that the FC4A or FC5 can also be connected via the
[SUSTAIN] FOOT SWITCH jack.
Foot controller
The FC7 Foot Controller (sold separately) can be used to control an assigned parameter: On the CP4
STAGE, the FC7 can be connected via the [1] and [2] FOOT CONTROLLER jacks; on the CP40 STAGE, it
can be connected via the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack. For example, on the Controller screen (page 21) from
the Performance Part Edit area, you could assign control of a Part’s volume or a parameter from one of the
insertion effects (page 11). Alternatively, you could assign a MIDI control change number to an FC7 on the
Controller screen (page 43) from the Utility area. The corresponding parameter can then be controlled by
operating the foot controller.
(Illustration shows the CP4 STAGE.)
7 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator
Tone Generator
The tone generator produces sound based on data received from controllers such as the keyboard and
sliders. The basic element of CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE sounds is referred to as a Voice, and
Performances are made up of multiple Voices. Both the Voice and the Performance are described below.
Voices
Each Voice represents a different instrument sound that the CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE can produce.
Generally speaking, your stage piano can produce two different types of Voice — Normal and Drum.
NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Voices can be found in the Data List (pdf).
Normal Voices
Normal Voices are primarily used to reproduce the sound of instruments played within a specific musical
scale. That is to say, the pitch of these Voices will change based on the key played.
Drum Voices
Drum Voices are generally used to produce the sounds of percussion instruments. With these Voices, a
different drum or percussion instrument sound is assigned to the various keys on the keyboard. For this
reason, Drum Voices can also be referred to as drum kits.
(Illustration shows a typical Drum Voice.)
Voice categories
The various different Voices on your CP4 STAGE or CP40 STAGE are arranged into a number of categories.
Each category represents a different type of instrument, such as piano or organ, or a sound genre. The
following table shows these categories, and each contains a number of different Voices.

Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Tone Generator
Performances
A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and both the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a
wide range of Performances ready for use.
NOTE A full list of your instrument’s Performances can be found in the Data List (pdf).
Parts within a Performance
As shown in the illustration below, each CP4 STAGE Performance contains three Parts; each CP40 STAGE
Performance, two Parts. A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the Performance. In
addition, the Parts that make up a Performance can be overlaid (layering) or divided into separate regions of
the keyboard (splitting).
Performances and Voices
Voices are linked to Performances — that is to say, when you select a new Performance, the Voices for all
Parts will change. In addition, if you select a Part and change its Voice, that change will be reflected in the
current Performance (see the illustration below for details). Changing Voices in this way is referred to as
Performance editing, and this will be described in more detail on the following page. It is important to bear in
mind that Performance editing mode is activated as soon as one of the Part Voices is changed. In addition, if
you select a different Performance at this time, editing mode for the previous Performance will be cancelled
and you will be able to edit the newly selected one.

Editing Performances
While the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a wide range of Performances already built-in, you can
also create your own. The process of editing a Performance involves changing its Part’s Voice assignments
and various other parameters. Parameters that affect a specific Part are referred to as Part parameters; those
affecting all Parts are referred to as Common parameters.
NOTE For details on the parameters that can be edited to create Performances, refer to Performance Editing (page 13).
Storing Performances internally
When you are happy with the Performance that you are editing, it must be stored on the instrument if you
intend to use it again at a later date. At this time, you can choose a Performance from the stage piano’s User
Memory (page 12) to overwrite with your edited Performance. Alternatively, you can store without specifying
a different Performance, and this will result in the current Performance being overwritten.
NOTE For details on the procedure for storing Performances, refer to the description of the Store Performance function (page 29). For
details on the procedure for renaming a Performance, refer to the description of the Name screen (page 15) from the
Performance Common Edit area.
Saving Performances externally
Performances stored on the stage piano can also be saved to a USB flash-memory device. You will need to
carry out this procedure if you create more original Performances than can be stored internally or if you wish
to create a backup of your Performances. While Performances can be stored internally on an individual
basis, all Performances from User Memory are saved together to a USB flash-memory device as a single All-
type file. The extension .C7A is used for CP4 STAGE Performances; the extension .C8A, for CP40 STAGE
Performances. In addition, Performances saved as an All-type file to a USB flash-memory device can be
loaded together back into the stage piano. Alternatively, any one of the Performances from the saved file can
be selected and loaded individually.
NOTE For details on the procedure for saving Performances externally, refer to the description of the Save screen (page 32) from the
File area.
NOTE For details on the procedure for loading Performances back into the stage piano, refer to the description of the Load screen
(page 33) from the File area.
10 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit
Effect Unit
The effect unit is used to apply a range of different effects to the sounds produced by the tone generator in
order, for example, to add thickness, reverb, or a sense of space. In this way, the effect unit can make your
stage piano sound much more expressive.
Makeup of Effects
The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature insertion effects for use with individual Parts, system effects that
can be configured for each Performance, and a master compressor and master EQ that affect all
Performances in the same way. Voices produced by the tone generator are processed by the insertion
effects, the system effects, and the master compressor and master EQ in that order, before being output via
your amplifier and speakers.

11 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Effect Unit
Insertion effects
Assigned to individual Parts, insertion effects process the sound of the corresponding Voice. Two are
available for use in a Performance, each containing two independent effects, A and B. Parameters for these
effects can be set on the Effect-A and Effect-B screens (page 21) from the Performance Part Edit area. In
addition, the insertion effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [A] and [B] PART EFFECT
buttons from the control panel.
System effects
The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature chorus and reverb as system effects. Because these operate as
send-type effects, audio signals corresponding to the send levels set for each Part are sent together to the
chorus and reverb units, which each output a single processed audio signal. Parameters for chorus and
reverb can be set on the Chorus Effect and Reverb Effect screens (page 14) from the Performance Common
Edit area. In addition, the system effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [CHORUS] and
[REVERB] SYSTEM EFFECT buttons from the control panel.
NOTE Send levels for each Part can be adjusted using the Part sliders (page 5).
Master compressor
The master compressor modifies the overall sound of the stage piano, and therefore, the same parameters
apply to all Performances. These parameters can be set on the MasterComp screen (page 44) from the
Utility area. In addition, the master compressor can be conveniently turned on and off using the [MASTER
COMP] button from the control panel.
Master equalizer
The master equalizer adjusts the overall sound of the stage piano just before it is output. On the CP4 STAGE,
the master EQ features five frequency bands; on the CP40 STAGE, it has three. The MASTER EQ sliders
located at the right of the control panel can be used to adjust the gain in each band. Moving a slider away
from you increases the gain in the corresponding frequency band and vice-versa. On both the CP4 STAGE
and the CP40 STAGE, the Low and High bands can be switched between peaking and shelving types.
Master EQ parameters are set on the Master EQ screen (page 46) from the Utility area.
Effect categories, types, and parameters
Details on the categories of effect available on the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE as well as their types and
parameters can be found in the Effect Type List and Effect Parameter List sections of the Data List (pdf). In addition,
these effect categories, types, and parameters are described in detail in the Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf).
Preset programs
For each effect type, parameter settings suitable for various different modes of use have been prepared as preset
programs. Instead of configuring effects from scratch, you can save considerable time by selecting the preset
program that best matches the current Voices or style of music and then tweaking to suit your specific needs. Preset
programs can be selected using Preset from effect-parameter editing screens. A full list of presets for each effect
type can be found in the Data List (pdf).
12 CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE > Memory
Memory
In addition to original Performances, you can configure a wide range of other parameters on your stage
piano. The methods used to organize this important data and the memory areas where it is stored are
described below.
Internal Memory
User Memory
User Memory is used to store the Performances that come preset on your stage piano, in addition to Utility
settings, which affect the instrument as a whole. This memory area supports both writing and deleting of
data, and it retains its content when the instrument is turned off.
Edit buffer
The Edit buffer is a work area used to store the Performance that is currently being edited. When the
instrument is turned off, the content of this temporary buffer is lost. In order, therefore, to retain any edits
made to a Performance, it must be stored in User Memory before selecting a different Performance or
turning off the stage piano.
Recall and Compare buffers
The Recall buffer serves as backup memory for the Edit buffer. Edits made to a Performance are normally
lost if not stored before selecting a different Performance; however, the Recall function can be used to
restore the edited Performance to the Edit buffer. Meanwhile, the Compare buffer is used to store the state of
a Performance’s settings prior to their being edited. You can then use the Compare Performance function to
toggle between the edited and unedited versions of the Performance in order to determine which one
sounds better. The content of both the Recall and Compare buffers is lost when the instrument is turned off.
NOTE For more details on the Recall function, refer to the description of the Recall screen (page 26) from the Performance Job area.
NOTE For more details on comparing Performances, refer to the description of the Compare Performance function (page 30).

Performances
A Performance is made up of a number of Voices — up to three on the CP4 STAGE and two on the
CP40 STAGE. As such, each one can produce rich, dense sounds. If you connect a computer or
another MIDI instrument to your stage piano, you can use its Performances to play received MIDI
data. In addition, you can also edit Performance parameters, creating your own original
Performances based on the stage piano’s presets. The following section will describe the various
parameters that can be used in Performance editing, in addition to the Store Performance and
Compare Performance functions.
Editing Performances
Performance editing is carried out in two areas: the Common Edit area is used to edit parameters
that affect all Parts, and the Part Edit area is used to edit parameters for individual Parts.
Common Edit Area

(Velocity Sensitivity
Depth)
This parameter can be used to select how the velocities with which keys are
played will affect the velocities actually output to the tone generator for the
current Part. As shown in the graph below, the larger the value set, the
greater the degree to which output velocities vary in response to changes in
the playing velocity (i.e., the steeper the slope of the graph). If a value of 0 is
set, the output velocities will be totally unaffected by different playing
velocities, resulting in an response similar to that of an organ, where playing
strength has practically no effect on the sound produced.
Settings: 0 to 127
(Velocity Sensitivity
Offset)
This parameter can be used to raise or lower all velocities output to the tone
generator for the current Part. As shown in the graphs, 64 is subtracted from
the value set here and the result is doubled to determine the actual amount
by which the output velocities are adjusted. However, if the resultant output
velocity is less than 0, a value of 0 is used; similarly, if the resultant output
velocity is greater than 127, a value of 127 is used.
Settings: 0 to 127
(Note Shift)
This parameter can be used to adjust the pitch of the current Part in
semitone units.
Settings: -24 to +0 to +24
This parameter can be used to fine tune the pitch of the current Part in units
of 0.1 Hz.
Settings: -12.8Hz to +0.0Hz to +12.7Hz
(Pitch Bend Range)
This parameter can be used to set the degree to which the pitch bend wheel
changes the pitch of the current Part in semitone units. If, for example, a
value of “12” is set, it will be possible to bend notes by between -12
semitones (one octave lower) and +12 semitones (one octave higher).
Settings: 0 to 12

(Microtuning)
This parameter can be used to select a musical tuning system. In total, your
stage piano can replicate seven different systems. While the equal
temperament tuning system has now become standard for pianos, a wide
number of other systems were developed over the years before it was
adopted, and these systems invariably paved the way for the birth of new
musical styles. By selecting different tuning systems, you can enjoy the
unique harmonics of music from the corresponding periods.
Settings: Equal, PureMajor, PureMinor, Pythagorean, Meantone, Werckmeister, and
Kirnberger
Equal (equal temperament)
The range of pitches in each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each
half-step evenly spaced in pitch. Today, this is by far the most popular tuning system
for pianos.
Pure Major and Pure Minor
These two tuning systems preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale,
especially for triadic chords (comprising the root, third, and fifth). These
characteristics can still be heard today in vocal harmonies — such as choirs and
a cappella singing.
Pythagorean
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher Pythagoras and is created
from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The thirds in
this tuning are slightly unstable, but the fourths and fifths are beautiful and suitable for
some leads.
Meantone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale by making the
major third interval smoother. It was especially popular from the latter part of the 16
th
century to the end of the 18
th
century, with Handel being one of its most notable users.
Werckmeister and Kirnberger
The Werckmeister and Kirnberger scales improve the meantone and Pythagorean
scales by combining them in different ways. Both are uniquely characterized by the
way in which modulation can change the nuances of musical compositions. Often
used in the eras of Bach and Beethoven, they are still employed today to reproduce
the music of those periods on the harpsichord.
NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is
displayed as “---” in such a case.
(Microtuning Root)
Certain tuning systems require a root note to be set, and this parameter can
be used to do so for the current Part.
Settings: C to B
NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is
displayed as “---” in such a case.
(Portamento Switch)
This parameter can be used to set whether portamento is to be applied to
the current Part.
Settings: off and on
NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is
displayed as “---” in such a case.
(Portamento Time)
This parameter can be used to set the duration of portamento pitch changes
for the current Part. The larger the setting, the longer it will take for the pitch
to change.
Settings: 0 to 127
NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is
displayed as “---” in such a case.
(Portamento Mode)
This parameter can be used to set the type of notes to which portamento will
be applied for the current Part.
Settings: finger and full
finger: Portamento will be applied only to notes that are played legato — that is, when
the first key is not released until after playing the second.
full: Portamento will be applied to all notes.
NOTE This parameter cannot be set for Parts with a Drum Voice, and its setting is
displayed as “---” in such a case.
This parameter can be used to change the speed at which the LFO signal
changes. The larger the setting, the faster the changes.
Settings: -64 to +63
