Corte,

I dont believe in that, the eye is too slow, if you have to look at
the display and you tune to stabilise it, not sure that the unissons
are at their best.

A good unisson (for me) project out of the piano and looking at a
display at that moment , I can't catch that. May be its just me.

Best Regards

Isaac OLEG
