The CP4 has a Quick Reset function which, as I understand it, will return a PERFORMANCE/VOICE that has been Edited but not STORED back Factory settings.

In the Owners Manual (page 22) in discussing the Quick Reset function, it states:

NOTICE
Unsaved edits are restored to their original condition by
the Quick Reset function. Be sure, therefore, to store
(page 34) all important data before executing it.

This would seem to imply that STORED edits will not be altered by the Quick Reset function. However, I have found after altering and STORING a Velocity Curve setting in UTILITY (for example), that upon execution of Quick Reset, the STORED Velocity Curve setting has been reset to the default value.

Is this the expected result from a Quick Reset? If so, what is the essential difference between a Quick Reset and a global Factory Set?

The difference between the quick reset and the factory reset is this: The quick reset takes you back to performance 1 with the main voice set to "on' and the CFX piano in main part voice. This is just like when you turn the CP4 on for the first time. However, the quick reset does not affect any of the other performances that you may have saved in the instrument nor does it reset performance 1 if you may have changed it. Quick reset merely takes the instrument back to a single main voice on (with CFX piano) and allows you to easily select the a main voice. If you had changed performance number 1 and previously saved it, the quick reset would not erase that performance so if you moved away from performance 1, then back you would find your original settings still saved in the instrument. The idea is that if you just want to quickly move to a piano (and easily select a voice new main voice) this feature gives you a quick way to do this without dropping into the edit menu or actually factory resetting the CP4.

A factory reset completely resets everything about the keyboard to original factory settings. This does overwrite all of the performances you may have saved. That's a big difference between a quick reset.

One of the things we have discovered is that the quick reset also does reset the velocity curves status. This is something that we are currently discussing because I agree: That is not the ideal situation. Stay tuned for more on that.

Thanks for that information, very helpful.

One additional discovery I stumbled upon is: As noted, an altered and STORED velocity curve setting (to other than the default) will revert to the default upon hitting the Quick Reset function. However, if the machine is then powered off and back on, the altered and STORED velocity curve setting returns!

I'm with you...hopefully at some point...all Utility settings that are edited and STORED will remain unchanged until re-edited or Factory Set.

Any news on this matter to be expected in the near future? Would be great...;)
