Non-Standard Pitch Raise - was: Wierd Pitch Raise Results

[Farrell]

Hi Kevin. You can do this with your SAT I, II, or III. Turn machine on, press TUNE, press CENTS UP to whatever pitch you desire and then press RESET (on the SAT III it is SHIFT-RESET - I forget what it was on the SAT II). Let's say you went up 8 cents. Now everything you do will be targeting A=442. (The whole key is to reset the machine the very first thing.) Dail up a canned tuning on a page of memory or do a FAC calculation. Let's say the piano was at standard pitch before you started anything here (you tuned it last week) - check it with your SAT now and it will say that everything is 8 cents flat! Do your pitch raise in the normal manner and your SAT will calculate the appropriate overpull to make the piano end up at A=442 (or whatever pitch you targeted). I had my SAT I a long time before I figured out how to do that - simple really. Gimme a hollar with any questions.

    Hey, Joe. I use a SAT II. Is that a new feature in the SAT 3?  Way Cool, there are times when I'd like to do an automatic pitch raise to a non-A440 pitch.

  Hi Terry,
  Sometimes its the buttons that you don't know you have pushed that get you
  in trouble.
  Like inadvertently setting the SAT to a higher pitch and then doing a pitch
  raise on top of that<:O(

  > Half the piano I tune require a significant pitch raise. I do a lot of
  pitch raises. I use a SAT III. Almost all my pitch raises come out really
  close to target.
