Yeah, it is just a second or two. But those seconds add up to wasted time. I
hate waiting, and this does eliminate some of it. Also, waiting during a
pitch raise throws off my rhythm and gets me out of "fast" mode. 

 

Being a little nerdy anyway, I calculated the time it would potentially save
to not have to wait those two seconds per note. 88 x 2 sec = 176 sec, which
is 2.93 minutes. Might as well tune if you're sitting there anyway.
Admittedly, it is a little nerdy, but 3 minutes a tuning x 20 tunings a week
is an hour a week, or 50 hours a year. Even if the actual savings is 20
hours a year, it's still worth it.

Hmmmm. Just never noticed that the VT takes all that long to calculate an
overpull. Seems to me just a second or two...... ????
