TuneLab generates sine waves when in the sound generation mode. Thanks, Robert. My AccuFork is quite old. I wonder if anyone has a newish one who could check its output? When I wrote my suggestion to use an AccuFork, I was thinking that Cy was a strictly aural tuner, in which case he would want something pretty portable. I favor a hybrid aural-electronic tuning method anyway, but if you're packin' hardware, there's no point in setting an A aurally except for practice. I think aural tuners profit by knowing all the ways to measure intervals visually, and that predominantly electronic tuners benefit by knowing, and being able to produce, the aural relationships. For instance, why to choose a particular octave size and double octave size for a temperament area. Some tuners say, "I can't be bothered by all that 6:3 stuffl; I just tune the octave until it sounds right." Sounding right is part of it, but there may be several interval widths that may need to be compromised in order to get the best overall sound, and knowing one's way around the coincident partials helps with understanding those compromises.
