Performances - Yamaha CP4 Stage Reference Manual

Performances

A group of Voices is referred to as a Performance, and both the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE come with a
wide range of Performances ready for use.
NOTE
A full list of your instrument's Performances can be found in the Data List (pdf).
Parts within a Performance
As shown in the illustration below, each CP4 STAGE Performance contains three Parts; each CP40 STAGE
Performance, two Parts. A Voice is assigned to each of these Parts in order to configure the Performance. In
addition, the Parts that make up a Performance can be overlaid (layering) or divided into separate regions of
the keyboard (splitting).

Performances and Voices
Voices are linked to Performances — that is to say, when you select a new Performance, the Voices for all
Parts will change. In addition, if you select a Part and change its Voice, that change will be reflected in the
current Performance (see the illustration below for details). Changing Voices in this way is referred to as
Performance editing, and this will be described in more detail on the following page. It is important to bear in
mind that Performance editing mode is activated as soon as one of the Part Voices is changed. In addition, if
you select a different Performance at this time, editing mode for the previous Performance will be cancelled
and you will be able to edit the newly selected one.
