Well I finally grew balls and tried to tune my CS80 by myself.

I picked up this software:

That strobe tuner is a must have, but it is really hard to get an accurate display at step 16 on A4. I think I have it right, I would listen for beats, and it would be a very very slow pulse at step 16.

Also I noticed that on Some voice cards, if I moved my hand away from them after tuning, they would be sharp of flat. It must have to do with my hands being magnetic or something I have no clue. Anyways, I over compensated a bit, and it turned out great.

Also, my VCF doesn't hang on aftertouch anymore. I am not sure if a wire was kinked, or something.. But I closed it, and everything works great. (But I still would love to have some extra parts just in case.)

I want to thank David, and everyone else in the cs80 group.

Thanks!
