when you say highest step, do you mean the scaling of 2'? IIRC, the 1st 2 steps in the manual are the scaling of the manual, and tuning of 2'. these 2 i need to do a few times to get right.
there are times when you cant rely on a tuner, and going by "beats" is better. ears over eyes, at the end of the day, but when the tuner is spot on to your ears, it sure makes it easy.

I had the strobe tuner at default settings. I will double check to see what the prefs said, but how do you guys get the highest step to show up in that tuner? It is so hard with the highest pitch. I might want to try it again. I kind of ignored the Step 2 A4, but everything does sound great on it.

great, glad the katsura tuner worked out well for you. one thing to note on it: next time you use it, make sure that your compupter AND the katsura prefs are set to "line input" under sound. if its set to "mic input", it will work, but the mic tracking is alot worse than the line input, so the readout is not nearly as clear as with the line input.
also, you should not be seeing any change in pitch after moving your hand. you are usiing a plastic tuning tool, right? as im just paranoid, i wear my static bracelet while tuning, even though i dont touch the cards at all.

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!
