The display is as follows:

When playing with tuning other than equal
temperament, you need to specify the keynote for tuning
the song to be performed (that is, the note that
corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor
key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to
select a keynote.
3. Press the [Song] button.
The indicators buttons return to their original state.
* When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be
aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of
the pitch. Tune the FP-3 to the fundamental pitch of the other
instruments.
Changing the Beat Pattern
The metronome usually sounds one beat per quarter note,
but you can change the beat pattern to sound, for example,
one beat for every dotted quarter note.
1. Hold down the [Song] button and press the
[ (Metronome)] button.
The indicators for the [Song] and [ (Metronome)]
buttons flash in red.

2. Press the [-] or [+] button to change the beat
division.
3. Press the [Song] button.
The indicators return to their previous state.
→ If you select “A1” with a triplet rhythm (6/8, 9/8, 12/8), the
additional sound is played in the same way as “A2.”
→ Refer to “Using the Metronome” (p. 23).
4 Just Minor The Just tunings differ from major
and minor keys. You can get the
same effect with the minor scale as
with the major scale.
5 Mean Tone This scale makes some compro-
mises in just intonation, enabling
transposition to other keys.
6 Werckmeister This temperament combines the
Mean Tone and Pythagorean tun-
ings. Performances are possible in
all keys (first technique, III).
7 Kirnberger This is an improvement of the
Mean Tone and Just tunings that
provides a high degree of freedom
of modulation. Performances are
possible in all keys (III).
