HI Tim Coates: It was nice meeting you at Reno this summer. In my video, I programmed the tunings by each of the programs. Although there were slight differences in the way the programs work, the results were hardly detectable. Each program uses different partials by which to tune. The RCT changes partials between G# and A at 3 places. The TunelabPro changes partials between E2-F2, E3-F3 and G#4-A4. The SAT III changes partials between B2-C3, B4-C5 and B5-C6. As a result you can see that the programs must give different cents offsets. One could go to extra trouble to use the same partials at least between the RCT and the SAT III, but I wanted to show how the instruments or programs naturally compute their tuning scales. I also wanted to show how in each of the programs I could vary the tuning according to my own preferences. Jim Coleman, Sr.
