Using CP1 Performances
In terms of the CP1, each of the completed piano sounds available for playing via the keyboard is referred to as a
“Performance”, and these may be freely selected from the main Performance screen. Performances each comprise two
different piano parts — namely, Part 1 and Part 2 — and they can be either overlaid along the full length of the keyboard
or separated into two specific zones based on keyboard position or playing velocity.
Selecting a Performance
For demonstration purposes, we will now go step by step through the procedure of selecting a Performance for playing.
NOTE For details on the makeup of the memory areas used to store Performances, see Tone Generator from the section, Internal Design of the CP1
(page 19).
1 Within the Performance screen, use the [L PAGE] button to ensure that the first page (as shown below) is displayed.
(This screen extends across two different pages.)
NOTE The first page from the Performance screen indicates which Performance is selected, which types of piano it is constructed from, and which
parameters are assigned to Knobs 1 to 6; meanwhile, the second page illustrates the same parameters together with their current settings.
NOTE This illustration of the Performance screen is provided for demonstration purposes only and may differ from that actually displayed on your
CP1.
2 Press the [PRESET] button.
The area of the Performance memory for storing Preset Performances will be selected and the [PRESET] button will
start to flash. In addition, the Bank button and Number button for the currently selected Performance will also start to
flash.
3 Press the [A], [B], or [C] button.
The corresponding bank — Preset A (PRE A), Preset B (PRE B), or Preset C (PRE C) — will be selected.
