Showcases the Sustain Sampling feature, which reproduces the unique resonance of an acoustic grand pianos soundboard and strings when the damper pedal is pressed. Showcases the Key-off Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released on an acoustic piano.

The CP300 also has a Variation effect that can be used as either a System effect or Insertion effect. Refer to Effect Type List on page 114 for more information on the types of effects you can use. The Variation effect can be controlled only by the use of MIDI messages.

Equalizer (EQ)

Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room, or to change the tonal character of the sound. EQ divides the sound into several frequency bands, and adjustments are made by raising or lowering the level of each band. By adjusting the sound according to the genreclassical music being more rened, pop music more crisp, and rock music more dynamicyou can draw out the special characteristics of the music and make your performance more enjoyable. Two separate EQ sections are available on the instrument: Part EQ and Master EQ. Basic Operation

Part EQ

The Part EQ is applied to each Voice.

Gain Low Gain High Gain

Low Freq.

High Freq.

n You can adjust the parts low and high frequency via the EQ Low Freq. and EQ High Freq. parameter in the Voice Edit menu. You can also adjust the parts low- and high-range gain via the EQ Low Gain and EQ High Gain parameters (pages 60, 61).

Master EQ

Master EQ is applied to the nal, overall (post-effect) sound of the instrument. When the corresponding slider is set to center, the equalizer level is set to normal.
Gain Q (frequency bandwidth)

5 bands

LOW LOWMID MID HIGHMID HIGH
n You can adjust the Q (frequency bandwidth) and Frequency parameters via the Master EQ Edit menu (page 72). However, the last gain setting by the slider or Master EQ Edit menu will remain in effect. n While the Equalizer Lock parameter (page 71) in the Other Settings menu is turned on, the Master Equalizer values will not be affected by Performance recall, incoming MIDI data and Song playback.
Key TranspositionTranspose
The CP300s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difcult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to +5, playing a C key produces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a Song as though it were in C major, and the CP300 will transpose it to the key of F. Press the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose the entire keyboard. With just the press of a button, you can recongure the transpose setting. For details about setting the amount of transposition, see below. The indicator will light when a transpose setting other than 0 is selected.

Do not play the keyboard or press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. Doing so will start recording, erasing the recorded data.
Press the [STOP] or [REC] button to exit the record mode. When you exit the record mode, the display prompts you whether you want to overwrite the Song or not. Press the B [+ (YES)] button to overwrite the Song.
n Refer to Data Recorded to User Songs on page 45 for information on the settings that can be changed here.
Adjusting the Volume Balance between the Song and the Keyboard
While recording multiple parts one-by-one, you can adjust the volume balance between the playback of the recorded parts and your current performance by using the [SONG VOLUME] slider. Turning off the [MASTER] button lets you adjust the volume for the keyboard performance by using the [ZONE CONTROL] sliders.
Move the sliders to make adjustments in the sound.
Recording in Dual or Split Mode
When you record in Dual or Split mode, the CP300 records each Voice onto a separate track. The following table shows how tracks are assigned to each Voice.
When you record multiple parts into tracks one-by-one, or when you record new data over an existing Song (page 46), the existing data will be erased. Proceed with caution.
In the following example, Tracks 1, 2, and Extra Track n have been selected for recording.

n This button is equipped with certain MIDI safeguards and also turns off pedal messages during performance. Even if you turn MIDI transmission off while holding a key, a key-off message will still be transmitted when you release the key. Turning MIDI transmission off also sends the following MIDI messages: Sustain Off, Sostenuto Off, Soft Pedal Off. n Keep in mind that if you turn MIDI transmission off, MIDI signals will not be transmitted no matter what other MIDI transmission settings (in Master Edit and MIDI Settings) are made.

MIDI Panic Control

This function serves as a convenient MIDI panic switch during performance when using a connected external tone generator. If the connected tone generator continues to sound (stuck notes, etc.) even after youve released the keys of the CP-300, using this MIDI Panic control transmits the necessary messages to stop the tone generator from sounding continuously. Press the [REVERB] button while holding the [MIDI OUT] button. A MIDI PANIC SEND message appears in the display. Basic Operation

Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU
MIDI THRU simply re-transmits the MIDI messages received via MIDI IN. In the example below, the MIDI messages generated by playing an external keyboard are transmitted to an external tone generator via the MIDI THRU connector on the CP300. The MIDI data of your performance on the CP300 are transmitted to an external device via the MIDI OUT connector on the CP300.

MIDI Data Compatibility

The data and the MIDI device must match in regards to the items below. Voice allocation format With MIDI, Voices are assigned to specic numbers, called program numbers. The numbering standard (order of Voice allocation) is referred to as the Voice allocation format. Voices may not play back as expected unless the Voice allocation format of the Song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1. Most commercially available music data is created as Format 0 GM System Level 1. XG XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. Song data recorded on the instrument using Voices in the XG category is XG-compatible.

The STAGEPAS 300 is an all-in-one solution for your small-scale PA needs. Featuring a built-in powered mixer with eight channels of input and PA speakers, you can simply plug in your CP series keyboard (and a microphone, if desired), and you can set up and be entertaining in a matter of minutes.
Compact in size but big in sound and versatile features, the MSR100 and MSR400 powered speakers pack a powerful sonic punch (100 and 400 watts respectively). Connect them directly to your CP series keyboard and use them as monitor speakers, or add a small mixer to create a compact PA setup.
Thirty years of technology and experience distilled into two brilliant new instruments. Introducing the CP300 and CP33 Stage Pianos.
In 1976, Yamaha released the first of the CP series stage pianos. These electric grands became instant classics with their authentic sound and live performance convenience. Thirty years later, Yamaha celebrates those milestone keyboards by unveiling the latest and greatest in the CP series: the new CP300 and CP33.

STAGE PIANO

Made to be played
Like all fine instruments, the CP series keyboards simply beg to be played. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension of your hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and rich expressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blast through a full band onstageyet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimate club.
possible. Theres also a wide variety of other dynamic sounds, including vintage electric piano, organ, guitar, strings, and much more.

Pro-quality outputs

The CP300 features professional quality balanced XLR output connectors. These give you the cleanest, clearest noise-free signalboth for serious recording in the studio, and playing onstage where long unbalanced cables may compromise your sound.
Drawing on our rich tradition and experience, these instruments give the live performer all the sound and expressiveness of a superbly micd grand piano with the portability and versatility of a modern digital instrument. Introducing the new standard in stage pianosthe CP series.

Stay in control

As master keyboard controllers, the CP series stage pianos let you take full command of your gear. Play and control external synthesizers and tone generators (such as the MOTIF-RACK ES) during your performance. Assign different internal voices to different sections of the keyboard or even create complex, multi-textured layers of sound. There are four instrument Zones on the CP300 and two Zones on the CP33, with dedicated Zone sliders on the panel that let you easily tweak the level of each instrument as you play. You can also freely reassign the sliders and wheels to control other sonic characteristics of the connected gear as desired, such as sound attack, decay, brightness and filter cutoff.

Expressive power

Yamahas extensive experience in crafting fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lowerjust as on an actual acoustic piano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the high notes. This keyboard practically plays itself, working with younot against youand brings out the very best in your performance.

Hear yourself

A built-in stereo speaker system on the CP300 lets you hear the sound of the keyboard without the need for setting up a separate monitor. Just bring the CP300 onstage and youre ready to perform! A convenient Speaker On/Off panel button lets you disable it and leave the monitoring levels to your soundman.

Use your feet

The CP series keyboards give you the same pedal control as an actual grand piano. Sustain, Soft and Sostenuto jacks are available on the CP300, while the CP33 has a Sustain and an AUX jack (which can be configured as Soft or Sostenuto, or even Expression). On certain piano sounds, Sustain can be partially appliedreproducing the half-damper effect of slightly muting the resonating strings on a real piano. The CP300 also has an fourth pedal input that can be used for controlling a variety of sound settings, such as Reverb or Chorus level, or the brightness of the sound.

Sound choice

Crafting the authentic sound of the CP series involved extraordinary attention to detail. We used meticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken at various playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as String Resonance (harmonic overtones), Stereo Sustain (open strings while pedaling), and even Key-Off Samples (recordings of felt dampers coming to rest on vibrating piano strings)providing the most authentic sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices

Lock it up

Onstage, you need to make sure everything goes smoothly. Sometimes an errant hand (yours or someone elses) can touch the panel controls and change your special settings, giving you a rude surprise in the middle of your performance. The Panel Lock button lets you prevent that, keeping all settings fixed and secure, until youre ready to change them yourself.
