sure thing-if ANY of the cs80(or any synth that needs tuning) owners out there have a mac laptop with an "audio in" jack-i think they all do-i would strongly suggest the $15 Katsura digital strobe tuner program. if you set your comp for "line in" under audio, this tuner is as rock solid as any $400 rackmount tuner. especially if you have a way to listen as well as run the line in, its really great.

it has saved me lots of time on tuning synths across the board. with the cs80, it was especially helpful cause i could close the hood, let it warm up, and then just go through and test every voice on the tuner and write down EXACTLY how many cents it was off. this gave me a quantifiable way to tell the difference between where the OSC's are with the hood up vs. down.

That sounds very helpful, especially the last paragraph about the final
corrections.

Thank you!
