Main Features
The CP300 gives you the ultimate acoustic grand piano sound—utilizing three-stage dynamic sampling,
providing the ability to change tone with the sustain pedal, and adding a subtle, authentic release sound when
you lift your fingers from the keys.
Among the advanced features are:
88-key “Graded Hammer” keyboard with action that is virtually indistinguishable from an actual acoustic
piano.
•Sophisticated AWM synthesis engine and tone generation system, with a maximum polyphony of 128 notes.
Using AWM, the CP300 has 50 original Voices—including a variety of ultra-realistic piano and other
keyboard Voices, plus a wealth of authentic sounds of virtually every instrument type.
•High-grade five-band Master EQ, which enables you to control the tone intuitively using sliders on the
panel.
•Luscious reverb and chorus effects, plus an enormous variety of other effects that add extraordinary depth
and expression to your sound.
Comprehensive MIDI functions for use with other devices and in larger music production systems.
•Four pedal connectors for maximum expressive capabilities—especially ideal for live performance—and
built-in high-quality stereo speakers.
•A powerful, versatile Performance function, which lets you store and instantly recall your custom CP300
settings, including Dual/Split configurations, Voice and effect parameters, MIDI transmit/receive channel
values and Master Edit settings.
•Built-in 16-track sequencer for recording and playing back your keyboard performance, as well as for
creating complex multi-instrument arrangements and Songs—up to a maximum 16 parts.
•Master mode, which allows you to independently control up to four external tone generators.
Comprehensive selection of inputs/outputs and interfaces—including two separate stereo output pairs,
stereo inputs, MIDI terminals, and a USB connector.
