Yamaha CS80

It really is cheating terribly to "tune" the CS80 in the way I did it
and it can take a while to pitch correct individual notes --- lots of
reverb helps carry it through.  Of course, if you're *really* badly
out of tune, then, it will be rather impossible to make it sound
passable. If anyone knows of a good DSP box to do realtime (I have not
checked out Celemony's software yeat), please do let me know. Thanks!
