My CP4 always boots up transposed

My CP4 boots up transposed a half-step sharp, via the transpose settings on the main panel.

As you can imagine, this can be really annoying and has caused me serious embarrassment at a couple of gigs.

Where the heck is that parameter stored? I tried re-saving my first performance, but that didn't seem to fix it. Is there a master settings save or something like that I am missing?

Once I hit the transpose - button, everything is fine for the rest of the evening.

Any ideas? I'm perplexed.

Thanks,
Wes

You can store your CP4 Stage "transposed" if that is your preference... the normal setting if for the "A" above middle "C" set to A440.

"Transpose" is found:
Press [UTILITY]
Select 01: GENERAL
Press [ENTER]
Master Tuning and Transpose can be found here by using the UP CURSOR to go to the top screen.
Master Tuning is +0.0/440Hz as default
Transpose is +0 as default

If not, set this, then press [STORE] to make this your instrument's preference setting - the screen will read "Keep power on." while this is written into Flash ROM.

TRANSPOSE is a function of the keyboard transmitting and this setting will affect not only the internal tone engine but every device to which you connect via MIDI. This is a different parameter than the NOTE SHIFT parameter which is a PART parameter within the tone engine of the CP4 Stage. You can still individually set an internal PART to respond differently by offsetting the NOTE SHIFT parameter. Changing a PART's NOTE SHIFT parameter is very local and only affects that particular PART. It is not transmitted out via MIDI nor does it affect anything else.

Transpose affects the entire CP4 Stage
Note Shift affects only the one particular PART.
