We can sum up the pro-SAT arguments: 1. A SAT can reproduce at will an aural tuning previously stored in the device. So, a SAT tuning can also be an aural tuning. 2. A SAT tuning can be as accurate as a good aural tuning and if it is not, we can improve it aurally, store the modifications, and keep it for further use. 3. The automatic offset permits a pitch-raise tuning that shoots in the bull's eyes right at the first pass. A SAT tuning is not better than aural tuning. But when you only have 45 minutes to proceed a concert tuning on a very noisy stage, it can save a smile on your face. Michel
