8 CP5/CP50 Reference Manual

Internal Design of the CP5 & CP50 > Tone Generator

NOTICE

If you overwrite a Performance in the User Performance memory, it will be permanently deleted. In order to avoid loosing

irreplaceable data, therefore, you should take special care when selecting where to store newly-created Performances.

NOTE Performance 1 from Group A within the USR1 memory bank will always be selected when you press the [USER] button while

holding down the [EXIT] button.

External Performance Memory

Accessed using the [EXT] button, an External Performance memory is read into your CP5 or CP50 from a plugged-in

USB flash-memory device. This memory area can be used to store original Performances that you have created, and it

contains three individual memory banks — EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3. Each time you press the [EXT] button, a different

External Performance memory bank will be selected. Four memory groups (A, B, C, and D) are contained within each

memory bank, and each one of these groups can hold ten Performances. Press one of the group buttons [A] to [D] fol-

lowed by one of the number buttons [1] to [10] to choose the corresponding Performance from the currently selected

External Performance memory bank. In order to use an External Performance memory stored on a USB flash-memory

device, the memory device must be plugged into your CP5 or CP50, and the stage piano must have loaded the corre-

sponding data into a dedicated section of its internal memory (DRAM).

NOTE Performance 1 from Group A within the EXT1 memory bank will always be selected when you press the [EXT] button while

holding down the [EXIT] button.
