EBVT electronic tuning data

[Farrell]

Hi Ron. Bill B. has described the importance of tuning octaves a certain way to get the proper effect for the EBVT (you can't do a proper EBVT on an ETD!). Have you delved into programming octave relationships on the Verituner that might give the desired octave relationships so that the Verituner calculates a proper Bill B. EBVT?
