After the recent release of Kurzweil's string resonance algorithm for the Forte series stage pianos, I was wondering if Yamaha could do the same for the CP4? I think the CP4 has some of the best organic emulations of Acoustic Pianos, but the lack of the string resonance makes it a little lifeless when recording. I still think it's a great stage piano but nearly all other professional stage pianos now have this feature. Can Yamaha make this happen?

Looks like it's something Yamaha can't do. I'm sure in a year or two they'll create a CP "something" and add a "new" feature that they already have in another keyboard (like string resonance from say a P255 or better yet VRM from their CLP series) and call it, "The Best Stage Piano They Have Ever Made". I've moved on. I sold my CP4 and picked up a Kawai MP7 and haven't looked back. Better to have an instrument with the features you need now, rather than hope and wait for features to be added.

I started to record the CP4 recently. I initially had the same perspective as the OP. Then, I went under the hood, with a sonic vision in mind, and approached an achievable, compelling natural sound. Utterly surprised. Thanks to Bad Mister for his programming lessons and concepts over the years.
