" If RCT is that slow in picking up/displaying the pitch, maybe it isn't perfected" When I Have finished tuning a pin I firstly put the hammer on the next pin, change the paps wedge position, strike the note and by the time my hand moves from the wedge to the hammer CyberTuner has read the note and displays the over pull needed. So I cannot see where it is slow. David, have you kept up with the upgrades? (latest version 4.3.5f1) and also a older machine might be the cause of slow reading.

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!
