This guide attempts to provide new CP users with a selection of step-by-step instructions to some of these instruments' most useful features. With so many buttons, menus, and functions, the CP119 can appear rather daunting at first, however by following a few basic steps we'll soon be learning how to select sounds and accompaniment styles, record our own songs, and even save pieces to USB memory. Below is a list of topics that we'll be covering in this guide: Overview of controls Selecting instrument sounds Selecting accompaniment styles Recording a song Deleting, saving, and loading a song Saving and loading a song to/from USB memory OVERVIEW OF CONTROLS SOUNDS STYLES RECORDER USB USAGE 1 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

First press the SYNC/FADE OUT button then press one of the FILL-IN buttons to select a desired Fill-in. Press any key on the keyboard to start the style. After the Fill-in plays, the selected Variation will play. To select a Variation, press one of the four VARIATION buttons to select the desired Variation. The Selected VARIATION button LED will light. You can set the CP to automatically play a Fill-in anytime you press a VARIATION button as you switch from one Variation to another. Select your preferred option in the Fill-in mode. (See page 94) Using a Style 5 Page 60 2) Auto Accompaniment System The Auto-accompaniment System (ACC) is a powerful feature that determines how the Styles will interact with you as you play. The ACC System analyzes your playing and adjusts the notes the Style plays to follow the Chords that you play on the keyboard. The ACC System is capable of recognizing single finger as well as more complex chord voicings. The CP recognizes 61 chord types as well as most of their inversions. (See the appendix for a chord table. ) There are three modes of key recognition--One Finger, Fingered, and Full Keyboard. Your choice of which mode to use depends on your skill level and the selected musical style. Fingered The player must play at least three notes of a chord below the split point (LEFT/SPLIT Part) before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. One Finger Uses a simplified chord method that allows beginners to specify a chord type by playing only one or two notes below the split point. The types of chords that can be recognized in this manner are limited to Major, Minor, 7th and Major 7th. While the player can trigger basic chords with as little as one finger, the ACC System will recognize more complex chord types if you play them, even you are in the One Finger mode. Full Keyboard The player must play at least three notes of a chord anywhere across the 88 keys before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. This mode is similar to Fingered however, Full Keyboard recognizes chord types from three or more notes played anywhere across the 88 keys not just below the split point.
