  If your Casio Musical Instrument's tones or effects sound strange, and restarting it doesn't help (for example, the note intensity doesn't change with key pressure), the “Auto Resume” feature might be the culprit. To resolve this, turn off the “Auto Resume” feature. Then, turn the power off and back on again.

Why is the pitch off on my Casio Musical Instrument?
- Z
  Zachary AndersonAug 13, 2025
  If the pitch of your Casio Musical Instrument is off, it could be due to several reasons: 1. The instrument's tuning might be incorrect. Try adjusting the tuning or simply turning the instrument off and then back on. 2. The key setting might be set to something other than “440.0 Hz”. Change it to “440.0 Hz”, or try turning the power off and back on. 3. A non-standard temperament setting could be in use. Change the temperament setting to “Equal”, the standard modern tuning. 4. Octave shift might be enabled. Change the octave shift setting to 0.
