Changing the Keyboard’s Split Point
The Split Mode function divides the keyboard into two parts (MANUAL
I, MANUAL II), allowing each part to be played with the MANUAL I and
MANUAL II division. See "Playing the MANUAL I and II Divisions in Separate
Keyboard Parts (SPLIT)" (p. 22).
The split point is initially set at the F#4 key by default. Here’s how to
change the split point in case you want to change the factory setting:
1. Press and hold the [SPLIT] tilt tab until it's indicator
ashes.

Transposing the Pitch of the Keyboard
The Transpose setting allows the pitch of your CLASSICO L3 keyboard to
be raised or lowered in semi-tone steps.
This is particularly useful when accompanying instruments tuned for
dierent keys, or when a singer sings in a key dierent than the original
music.
1. Use the [-] and [+] TRANSPOSE buttons to shift the pitch
of keyboard notes upward or downward by up to +6/-6
semitones

2. If you press the [-] and [+] TRANSPOSE buttons together,
the transpose setting will return to “0”.

See "Working with Memory Pistons" (p. 33) to save your
settings. If you don’t save them, your changes are lost when you

Tuning and Temperament
In this section you can modify the pitch of the instrument and change the
scale (tuning system) of the keyboard from standard equal temperament
to another tuning that is more suitable for playing classical pieces, etc.
Matching the Pitch of another Instrument
(TUNING)
There may be times when you accompany acoustic instruments that are
dicult or impossible to tune. As you will see below, matching the tune of
another instrument is easy for the CLASSICO L3.

section.

counterclockwise to lower it.
You can adjust this in a range of ±100 cents (approximately a

Using the Tuning Preset
For many years, there was no pitch standard across Europe. The frequency
of A was dierent from country to country. For example, in parts of France
