Connecting Pedals
The FC3 foot pedal that comes with your CP5 or CP50 is connected via the [SUSTAIN] foot-switch jack located on the
rear panel. In order to intuitively control a range of different parameters, furthermore, an optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch
can also be connected via the [ASSIGNABLE] foot-switch jack, and optional FC7 or FC9 foot controllers can be
connected via the [1] and [2] foot-controller jacks (or in the case of the CP50, via the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack). For
details on how to assign parameters to these foot switches and controllers, see the description concerning the Common
Settings screen. (See the Reference Manual pdf document for more details.)
NOTE The [SUSTAIN] foot-switch jack can also be used to connect an optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch.
Turning on the Stage Piano
1 After you have made all of the required connections as described above with your CP5 or CP50 turned off or in
Standby (N) mode, ensure that the [MASTER VOLUME] dial on the left of the stage piano’s control panel and the
volume of any connected keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers are fully turned down.
2 Press the P switch located on the rear panel.
3 Turn on any keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers connected to the stage piano.
When turning off the stage piano or returning it to Standby mode, start by turning fully down the [MASTER VOLUME] dial
on the control panel and the volume of any connected keyboard amplifiers or powered speakers; then turn off the
amplifiers or speakers; and finally, press the P switch on the rear panel.
HINT
If the stage piano is turned on with a USB flash-memory device already plugged in, it will — before displaying the Performance
screen — either create an External Performance memory (page 23) on that device or read External Performance data already
present on the device into DRAM. For more details, refer to the Reference Manual pdf document.
