2 Te mpo This parameter is used to select the playback tempo for the backing track and
metronome. The tempo can also be adjusted using the Tempo parameter from
the Record screen (page 37).
Setting values: 30 to 300
NOTE To synchronize the backing-track tempo with that of an external MIDI device
or DAW application, set the MIDISyn parameter (page 46) from Page 6 of
the Utility screen to “ext” or “auto”. When “ext” is selected or when “auto” is
selected and MIDI Clock messages are being received from an external
source, the tempo will be displayed as “ext” and modification will not be
possible.
Beat This parameter is used to set a time signature for the backing track and metro-
nome. The time signature can also be adjusted using the Beat parameter from
the Record screen (page 37).
Setting values: 1/4 to 16/4, 1/8 to 16/8, 1/16 to 16/16
3 StartKey This parameter is used to set a note that can be played either to start playback
of the selected backing track or to start recording. Hold down the [ ] (Stop)
button and press the [ / ] (Play / Pause) button to set playback or recording
to Standby condition. In this condition, the Key-on Start function will start play-
back or recording whenever the key corresponding to the note set here is
played. If you select “all”, any key can be played to start playback or recording.
Setting values: C-2 to G8 or all
AutoKeyOn This parameter is used to control whether or not Standby condition for backing
track playback using the Key-on Start function will be activated automatically
whenever the current Performance is selected. Whenever you select a Perfor-
mance having this parameter set to “on”, the lamp to the top-left of the [ / ]
(Play / Pause) button will start to flash and playback can then be started by
playing the key set using the StartKey parameter.
Setting values: off or on
4 Rename Press Knob 1 to open the Rename screen and modify the name of the selected
backing-track data. Renaming is only possible when you have set Type from
Page 1 to “UsrSong” or “Wave”. On this screen, you can turn Knob 1 (Cursor) to
move the cursor within the displayed name. Then, using Knob 2 (Data), you can
change the character at the cursor position. When you have finished renaming
the data, press the [ENTER] button to return to Page 3 of the Song Setting
screen. Alternatively, you can press the [EXIT] button to return without renaming
the data.
NOTE If you have selected a Wave file recorded using your CP5 or CP50, be sure
to leave the 7th and 8th characters in the file name – namely, } and { –
unchanged. If these characters were to be modified, the replay volume on
your stage piano would become extremely low as a result.
CAUTION
If you have selected a Wave file that was not recorded using your CP5 or
CP50, be sure not to add } and { as the 7th and 8th characters of the file
name. Failure to observe this precaution could lead to extremely high vol-
umes upon playback (as the output level is increased automatically when-
ever these characters are in the positions indicated).
Delete Knob 2 can be pressed on this page to delete unneeded backing data. When
you do so, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to proceed with deletion.
Deletion is only possible when you have set Type from Page 1 to “UsrSong” or
“Wave”. To delete the data, press either Knob 1 (YES [PUSH]) or the [ENTER]
button. To cancel the deletion process, press either Knob 3 (NO [PUSH]) or the
[EXIT] button.
4 MemInfo

Press Knob 3 to call up a screen providing information on the Sequence Mem-
ory — a specific area of memory used to store User Songs. The items shown on
this screen are as follows.
Free This field displays the amount of free space in the Sequence Memory.
The free memory is also displayed as a percentage of the area’s overall
capacity.
Total This field displays the total size of the Sequence Memory.
