This gives a clearer and less jumpy display in the 7th octave. If you want to see the wiggle just set RCT to be Hertz-Relative as the SAT is, (and change the sensitivity to maximum if you wish - its user-programable). You will see all the wiggle you want! <g> On the top end of the piano, RCT's digital listening period is only a few miliseconds, so as long as the wiggle doesn't have shorter a period than that you will see it! -Dean ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dean L.
