I've taken to hooking it up through a guitar tuning stomp box with an option to cut the signal off while tuning (thankfully), but it still managed to drift an entire semitone during one song (!) at a recent gig. Andy. Get yourself a Voyager. I lived with a Mini for a number of years. In the end the tuning drift issue became a major issue for me. The Voyager is fantastic. I know there are those that still think that it doesn't quite nail the sound of the Mini. Utter rubbish in my opinion. To these ears it does everything and more than the Mini ever did. There is a valid argument that a Mini is not so much an instrument, more of an Icon, and I agree, and on that basis it broke my heart to sell it, but I couldn't afford both. If your lucky enough to have the resources, bearing in mind that a good Mini should still command a decent price, put the Mini on your mantelpiece and get a Voyager to play with.
