Yamaha CP300 Stage Digital Piano (Warehouse Reseal) Questions & Answers
Sustain pedal does not work
Yamaha FC4 and FC5 sustain pedals are normally closed, sorry Fred. Roland is opposite. I suspect the P120 just needs to be reinitialized. Hold down top white key (C) while turning on power. Wait 3 seconds and then release white key. Should now be reset to factory spec. Always plug the pedal in before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work check it with a meter.
Yamaha CP 300 broken headphone jack
Some keyboards use the amp output sockets for headphone use.You might need some adapters for your headphones. If it fell in, you would see an empty hole. This would be unlikely because it is held on by two screws. If all fails, buy an amp with a headphone jack input. Plug the keyboard into the amp and use the amps jack.
Left speaker making a crackling sort of
Hi, I think the speaker is getting damaged. When you strike hard keys, it makes crack sound i guess.
If you can open the keyboard and test the speaker by using a battery and run a wire to the positive and negative spot of the speaker. If you hear a clear sound after testing the speakers, that means the speakers are working properly,but if it does not sound clear enough,that means the speakers are not working well...
When a speaker does not sound good enough, it's usually a sound IC problem that will need to be replaced.
Hope that helped.
Feel free to pass your comment.

My cp300 destroys songs stored in memory. What's
Make sure you CHANGE tracks as if you record over the same track it is destructive. It would be easy to forget to change to an unused track and overlay previous data resulting in loss of the original song.
I need to replace the power transformer on my
Are you going to replace it yourself or are you looking for a CP300 expert? If you are going to replace it yourself, are you sure it needs replacing? Transformers are seldom a problem in any circuit.
If you are needing an expert on Yamaha, look your local directory for a Yamaha Warranty service center. There are many independent shops who have this authorization which gives them access to all the factory technical data and schematics, parts lists etc.
The transformer is easy to replace if needed, it is separate from the power supply printed circuit board and is screw mounted.
Will a midi interface allow me to play downloaded music on a yamaha clainova 305
Yes, with some preparation. The music will have to be in a standard MIDI file format or a format that results in standard MIDI over USB output when "played" by computer software or an external sequencer. Within the software you will probably need to create a new "instrument" if there is not already a template for the CVP 305, otherwise the tracks and sub channels in the MIDI file will be patched to GM, probably not what you want to hear.

What is the best way to reprogram a Yamaha WX5 Ewi
Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:
- Access the Menu:
- Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
- Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
- Select Parameter to Edit:
- Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
- Adjust Parameters:
- Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
- Save Changes:
- After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
- Refer to the Manual:
- Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
- Connect to a Computer:
- Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
- Use External Sound Modules:
- If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
- Explore Advanced Settings:
- Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.
Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed.
Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.
