Quick Start Guide
2 Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.
For instructions on installing, see the Installation Guide included in the downloaded file package.
When asked to connect the [USB TO HOST] port on your instrument (i.e., the CP1) to the computer using a USB
cable, do so as shown below.
3 Setup the CP1 to allow MIDI data to be exchanged via the [USB TO HOST] port.
Navigate to the fourth page of the Utility screen (see page 58) by pressing the [UTILITY] button, and if necessary, the
[L PAGE] and [PAGE R] buttons. Then, turn Knob 5 to set In/Out to “USB MIDI”.
NOTE If you wish to connect your CP1 to a computer via MIDI cables, the In/Out parameter should be set to “MIDI”.
4 Press the [STORE] button to store this setting.
Utility settings are stored within the CP1’s system settings. For more details regarding the storing procedure, see
page 40.
Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] port
When connecting the CP1 to a computer via the [USB TO HOST] port, be sure to observe the following precautions. Failing to do
so risks freezing either or both of the devices and corrupting or losing data. If your CP1 or computer should freeze, restart the
application being used, reboot the computer, or turn the stage piano off once and then back on.
• Use a USB A-B cable.
• Before connecting to a computer via the [USB TO HOST] port, restore it from any power-saving mode (such as Suspend, Sleep,
or Standby).
• Connect the computer via the [USB TO HOST] port before turning on the CP1.
• Be sure to always perform the following steps before turning the CP1 on or off and either plugging or unplugging the USB cable.
- Quit all applications.
- Ensure that no data is being sent from the CP1. (Data is transmitted by playing the keyboard.)
• When connected to a computer, allow at least 6 seconds to pass between turning the CP1 on and off and plugging or
unplugging the USB cable.
