I recently splurged on a new SAT III, so I'm still learning the in-and-outs of it (as well as learning the ins-and-outs of aural tuning- though I'm fairly competant at that). I wonder if anyone can shed some light on how the tuner overides SAT III calculations. I know that after the FAC is programmed and SAT spits out its appropriate tuning some changes can be made right off the bat by checking A2,A3, and A4 octaves. And I know the double octave feature may come in handy at this point, as well. Here's my question: say you're happy with things from the outset, but as you go further into the SAT's tuning you find some notes that you know can be better placed, how do you tell the SAT to adjust on the fly? It seems to me that the interconnectedness of a tuning would make it difficult to suddenly disagree with what the SAT is telling you about a few particular sour notes without screwing with the notes you've already tuned, or are about to tune. The core of my question is how does the tuner be the "master" of the SAT III throughout a tuning? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
