[pianotech] Tuning speed

[David Ilvedson]

If RCT is that slow in picking up/displaying the pitch, maybe it isn't perfected...?   For me an ETD is vitally important for quickly checking aural problems as I progress through the tuning.  i.e. what has changed to make that octave suspect.   It might a prior unison that needs tweaking...unisons as you go!
