ETD Jumpiness (was Re: [CAUT] Sacrifice (was tuners- technology))

[Don]

Hi Avery,

There is a smoothing button on Reyburn Cyber Tuner. I personally turn this
*off*, whenever I can. The nature of the RCT does not allow it's display to
show two different pitches at once--unlike the SAT technology. One of my
pet peeves with RCT is that in pitch correction mode one can *not* turn off
the smoothing feature. One can also not select hertz rather than cents in
pitch correction mode. Both of these were originally options but Dean chose
to defeat them. In tune mode and temperament mode they are available.
