Sounds like doing the Theremin bit on a CS80 voice board :-)... which doesn´t actually make the tuning process nicer, though.

Subject: [yamahacs80] Wow, that wasn't so hard.
Well I finally grew balls and tried to tune my CS80 by myself.
I picked up this software:
http://www.katsurashareware.com/strobe/strobeau.html
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!
-Scott
