Yamaha PT-100 II

[Elian Degen]

Hello Rogerio

I am putting it on the list also, maybe someone is interested,

If you own a SAT you know it already, now The old PT-100 had only eight
programs, based on the Yamaha piano models ( M1, U1, U3, C5, CF, FLAT,CP and
C3, )  It will tune between 435 and 445 and has a setting for 413. That
remained standard for the new model.
They added a midi interface, has a footswitch included, and a pickup.

They added an easy to remove lithium ion battery, and that is all it does.

The old model had a temperament setting and you could choose between Equal
Temperament, Meantone, and Werkmeister III, this option is not available in
the new model anymore.

I have been using this equipment for many years, but as I like to tune by
ear, it is not of much use unless when I have to change tone or take it up a
lot. Otherwise I see not much use in it.

I hope this helps you
