<html><div>Hi John,</div> <div>The lights have a very clear rotational pattern to them.  Not that they are brighter, just more definite.  I don't know the type of bugs they worked out.  It's just when I first got the machine, it was hard to read the lights sometimes, the automatic note-to-note feature was unreliable (half the time I had to punch the button to get it to advance), and it would just quit working half way through the tuning for no reason.  Then when I went to turn it back on, I had to reprogram it all over again.</div> <div> </div> <div>Yes, I have tried two of the HTs (for the harpsichord only) and they seemed to work well (no pun intended).  The PR func works sweetly, and no, the FAC works exactly the same as in the II, except the III has extra buttons for the page so you don't shift for that.  The other nice thing about it is the ability you have to change octave stretch whenever the urge strikes you.</div> <br> <div>At 02:01 PM 3/24/99 -0500, you wrote:</div> <div>>Hi Vince,</div> <div>></div> <div>>Do you mean that the LEDs are clearer to see while tuning - bass through the </div> <div>>high treble? What type of bugs had to be worked out - </div> <div>>did you have to send it back to Inventronics? Does the auto-note stepping work </div> <div>>great? Have you tried any of the built-in historical temperaments? Is FAC </div> <div>>measured the same way or is there a provision for more than three note </div> <div>>samples? How well does the pitch raise function work? </div> <div>>Thanks,</div> <div>></div> <div>>John Piesik, RPT</div> <div>>Oceanside, CA</div> <br> <b>Vince<br> </b><i><<a href="mailto:vince@byu.edu" eudora="autourl">mailto:vince@byu.edu</a>><br> </i>Visit the web page for the Pacific Northwest Conference at: <br> <<a href="http://www.pnwpianoconf.com/" eudora="autourl">www.pnwpianoconf.com</a>> </html>
