Hi all- I haven't heard much about a tuneoff recently. What I'd like to see is less competitive and more informational. If we accept that the 'best' tuners get pretty even results, no matter if aural or machine calculated, I think it would be interesting to see what the 'baseline' tunings of each of the popular machines are. I suspect that Mr. Coleman, when tuning by machine only, uses his SAT in an aural manner; that is, playing a note while the machine is set to another note. This would allow the 'reading' of intervals, though no intervals are being played while tuning. SOT, SAT 1,2,3, tunelab, tunelab pro, RCT, Verituner, Peterson, Korg.... What kind of tunings do they calculate on their own on average pianos? That way, someone who is shopping for an EDT would be able to see what each machine does just with its built in stretches or custom calculations. It seems that all the literature says something like "let your ear be the final authority", so let's see how close these things come, without checks, and what, if any differences there are between the tuning curves calculated by each company. How 'bout it? Ron Koval Chicagoland _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
