piece from 40 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 keys with a

steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic will provide the correct melody

and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Anybody,

young or old, can enjoy Concert Magic from the moment they sit down at

the CP piano.

Now let’s see how Concert Magic works.

1.SELECTING A SONG

The 40 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 40 white keys,

classified in six groups by song category such as Children’s Songs,

American Classics, Christmas Songs.

All of the song titles are listed on page 33.

To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is assigned

while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.

4 5 6 7

2.LISTENING TO THE SONG

If you have selected a song you are familiar with, you may want to play by

yourself right away. However you may want to listen to the song first

before playing it.

To listen, press the PLAY/STOPbutton. The CP piano will start playing

back the selected song. When the demo song is finished, press the START/

STOP button again to stop. Otherwise the CP piano will play all the other

Concert Magic songs one at a time in order.

If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to select

a song.

3.PERFORMING A SONG

Now you’re ready to play yourself.

Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or

white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will

get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster,

the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly,

just like regular piano playing.

Isn’t it fun? You can sound like you’ve been playing for years just by

pressing one key with one finger.

Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music,

especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think

it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for

them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CP piano can be enjoyed

by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical

instrument in their life.

4.CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES

After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it’s too

easy and there is very little to learn.

While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for

beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require some

practice to play beautifully. Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs falls into

one of three different categories depending on the skill level required to

perform them.

Easy Beat

These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a

constant steady beat on any key on your piano keyboard.

Look at the following example, “Für Elise”. Press the key with a steady

sixteenth note rhythm.

Melody Play

These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to

you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any one of the

keys on your piano keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be

helpful.

Key on

Play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” for example. Follow the melody’s

rhythm as shown.

When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier to

tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to

play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.

Skillful

These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To

perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the

accompaniment notes on any of the keys on your piano keyboard, like

“Waltz of The Flowers” shown below.

It may take some practice to get them just right. A good way to learn these

songs is to listen to them first, and then try to tap out the rhythms that you

hear.

In the song list on page 33, the arrangement type is marked next to each

song title as “EB” for Easy Beat, “MP” for Melody Play and “SK” for

Skillful.

FUNCTION MODE

The Function Mode gives you access to many other useful features on

your CP piano. To enter the Function Mode, press the TOUCH and

TRANSPOSE buttons at the same time. The LEDs for both buttons

will flash. Press one of the following sound buttons to choose a function

to edit. To exit the Function Mode, press either the TOUCH button or

TRANSPOSE button.

The following functions can be selected in the Function Mode:

Tuning (PIANO button)

Temperament (E. PIANO button)

MIDI Channel (HARPSI & MALLET button)

Transmit Program Change On/Off (ORGAN button)

Local Control On/Off (STRING button)

Channel Mute (VOCAL & SYNTH button)

Program Change Number (BRASS & W.WIND button)

1. TUNING

This function allows you to adjust the piano’s pitch. You may need to

adjust the tuning when you play with other instruments or recordings.

Press the PIANO button while in the function mode. The LED display

shows you a number that represents the pitch for “A” in Hz (Hertz).

The range of adjustment is from 427.0 to 453.0 Hz (displayed as 27.0–

53.0). The factory preset value is set to the modern standardA= 440.0

Hz (displayed as 40.0).

Pitch:

440.0 Hz

Use the VALUE buttons to raise or lower the pitch.

2. TEMPERAMENT

The CP piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard)

but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the Renaissance

and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational to try some

of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament is dominant

today.

Press the E. PIANO button while in the function mode. The LED display

shows you an abbreviation for the type of temperament currently selected.

Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired temperament.

Temperament

(Equal)

After you have selected the desired temperament, you must select a key

signature for the temperament. Limitless modulation of the key became

available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a

temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the

key signature to play in.

– 25 –

To select the key signature of the temperament, simply press one of

the 88 piano keys. The LED display shows you the note name for the key

you pressed and it will be chosen as the key of the temperament. For

example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, press any

“D” key to set the temperament key.

Key in D

Key in A#

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)

Equal(P.only)

This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is

stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUALTEMPERAMENT). If any other

type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL(FLAT). An explantion

of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUALTEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is

provided later in this section.

NOTE:

If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds

will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.

MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT(Major)

MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT(Minor)

Pure(Major)

Pure(minor)

This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths is

still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.

You need to be aware what key you are playing in with this temperament.

Any key modulation will result in dissonances. When you play music in a

particular key, you need to match the key of the temperament as well.

When playing in a major key select Pure (Major) and when playing in a

minor key select Pure (minor).

PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT

This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance

for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very

characteristic melodic lines.

Pythagorean

Meantone

MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT

This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole

tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack

of consonances experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure

temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with

the equal temperament.

– 26 –

WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT,

KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT

Werckmeister

Kirnberger

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean.

For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful

chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament

produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It

is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive

the original characteristics.

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT(FLAT)

This is “unstretched” equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve

equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve

keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However

the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure

consonance.

Equal(Flat)

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT

This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a

human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low

frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament’s tuning is

stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the

ears. This “Stretched” equal temperament is a practical variation of the

“unstretched” equal temperament which was invented on a mathematical

basis.

Equal

3. MIDI CHANNEL

This function determines on which channel the CP piano will exchange

MIDI data with an external MIDI device or personal computer.

Press the HARPSI & MALLET button while in the function mode.

The LED display shows you the currently selected channel number. The

default channel is 1.

Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired MIDI channel, 1-16.

When the power is first turned on, the CP piano always selects channel 1.

5. LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF

This function determines whether the CP piano’s sound will be played

from the piano’s keyboard (“On”) or only from an external MIDI instrument

(“Off”).

Even with local control “Off” the piano’s keyboard will still transmit to an

external MIDI instrument or personal computer.

Press the STRING button while in the function mode. The LED display

shows you “On” or “Off”. The initial value is “On”.

Local Control

MIDI

The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an

international standard for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (digital

recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange

performance data.

The CP67 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN

and MIDI OUT. Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector.

MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.

MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.

MIDI EXAMPLES

(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound

generator module

When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano

is played (which keys are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument.

Plus, the sound from the CP67 can be layered over the sound of the other

instrument.

(2) Connection to an external sequencer

When connected as shown in the illustration, you can record songs played

on the CP67 with a sequencer, and use the CP67’s tones controlled by the

CP67’s MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE function (which is ON at all times) to

create a multi-layer MIDI recording.
