Yes, - you´ll need a digit meter w/ an accuracy of 0.1% for adjusting the +10 / -10 volt of a Minimoog PSU for example.
If this is not perfect adjusted,you cannot calibrate a Minis scale, shift, octave and hi-compensation perfect as it will be w/ all the other CV controlled synths of the past.
Meters like this are a good investment if you have to calibrate vintage gear regulary.
