I just checked out your website: It's a beaut! One of the best I've seen, and a clever logo, too.</P> <P> </P> <P>But, just for inquiring (a.k.a. nosey) minds, why the relocation from lush green mountains to unending acres of kitty litter? Not that NM hasn't its charms, but talk about climate change -- you'll need a People Saver System installed to keep YOU from drying out and cracking (physically/mentally).

But I've discovered that if you play the note you want TL to switch to AND the note an octave below that note, TL will usually respond instantly. It apparently is responding to the 2nd partial of the lower note better than the fundamental of the higher one, perhaps in part because the lower note (previously tuned) is closer to the target pitch than the untuned note.</P> <P> </P> <P>Hope that's clear. It really helps move things along.</P> <P> </P> <P>Now, question for all who have downloaded the latest TL upgrade: Is it worth the upgrade fee? Why or why not? Is there anything new other than the auto curve adjustment feature?</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks for listening/responding.</P> <P><BR>Alan Barnard<BR>Salem, MO<BR>Joshua 24:15<BR><BR><BR></P></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BODY></HTML>
