Hi James, I have a SAT III and have had it for a long time. I have never used the memory function. I have checked out the hysterical tunings areas but that is it. I usually enter the FAC onto the piano in pencil...grands at the F, A, C plate area or on the upright hammers. I just enter them into the FAC sequence on my SAT when I come back to the piano and away I go. Don't you have to have some way of knowing where the memorized tuning is? i.e. University Room 32, Steinway or whatever. I don't see the usefulness of memorizing a FAC tuning? Maybe you or anyone can explain to me the reasoning behind memorizing tunings. I can understand if you or saving an aural tuning and want to recreate that tuning... Thanks in advance...
