SAT Pitch Raise to Lower Pitch

[Farrell]

The SAT does not seem  to work in that way. Even though you have your SAT
offset for your non-standard pitch, when you use the pitch-raise function,
it automatically zaps your original pitch offset, and simply calculates an
appropriate pitch raise to standard pitch. Therein lies the apparent
roadblock to using the SAT to pitch raise to a non-standard pitch.
