ahh, thanks david. on second thought, i've got a good strobe tuning situation, so i PERSONALLY probably wouldnt implement it, but im sure there are people who would.

the element of it that i WOULD love to have is the lighted indicator for each voice. its bothersome to turn on/off each time i lose track or double-trigger a key. thanks-rj

Ok - in English:



First, I was planning on mounting it on the inside of the front panel:

no holes/drilling/ etc. You have to open up the top to get to all the

tuning knobs anyway.



Next, you would follow the tuning guide, which is basically the following:

1) Set Feet to 2'

2) Tune oscillator on highest A

3) Tune oscillator on lowest A

4) Repeat 3 for 4', 8', and 16'



The board I described lets you easily do the tuning step because of few

things:

1) Has built-in tuning reference

2) Shows beat frequency on red/green LED. Kind of a simplified strobe-tuner..

3) Also allows hearing this beat frequency and/or reference tone/oscillator..

4) Has display to tell you which voice is sounding
