CP300 Owner’s Manual

Basic Operation

The following operations can be performed in the Song select display:

•Use the B [– (NO)][+ (YES)] buttons to move back and forth (rewind and fast forward) through the Song

while the Song is played or stopped.

•Press the C [–] button during playback to locate the top of the current Song.

•Press the C [–] button twice (double-click) during playback to start playback from the previous Song.

•Press the C [+] button during playback to start playback from the next Song.

• Press the [STOP] button or simultaneously press the B [– (NO)][+ (YES)] buttons during playback or while

playback is stopped in the middle of the Song to locate the top of the Song.

Whenever you select a new Preset Song, the tempo is automatically reset to the Song’s original value.

nPerformance mode is automatically turned off if you start Song playback while Performance mode is on.

Automatically Starting Song Playback by Playing the Keyboard—Synchro Start

You can pause playback to begin when you play the keyboard (Synchro Start). Hold down the [STOP] button

and press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The [PLAY/PAUSE] indicator will blink, and the CP300 will wait for

Synchro Start.

In this condition, playback begins as soon as you play the keyboard.

nIf you press the [STOP] button while waiting, Synchro Start will be cancelled.

Pedal Play/Pause

You can alternately start or pause Song playback by pressing a pedal connected to the CP300’s [ASSIGNABLE

FOOT PEDAL] jack. A pedal connected to the [ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL] jack can be assigned to play

and pause Preset Song playback from the “Pedal Play/Pause” parameter in the Other Settings function

described on page 70.

This is convenient when performing along with previously recorded parts—it lets you stop and start playback

of the recorded backing, while you add parts of your own live.

Turning Part Playback On and Off

While the CP300 is playing or stopped, pressing these track buttons turn off the indicators, and the data on

those parts will not be played. Pressing the part buttons toggles part playback on and off. Turning a playback

part off lets you play that part yourself while the other parts play back.
