I must admit having tuned a few P6s in my time, I prefer the sound of
unstretched tuning on any synth. Whilst I can understand the need to
stretch tune pianos, I don't really see the point of doing this to VCOs.
The harmonics are locked to the fundamental whatever the base frequency
is tuned to.

I tuned my own P6 to true linear fashion. The sound of it fitted in
better into my mixes, and it sounded better on its own.
