Yamaha CS80

I don't have a strobe tuner, nor a laptop.
But I have this MAM rackmount tuner with a resolution of 0 - 3 - 5 - 10 - 
20 - ... cents.
And it's even possible to read in-between values, like the "0" LED being on 
alongside with the "3" LED.
Actually, with a CS-80 VCO on spot, the 0 cent LED glows, and the -3 and +3 
cent LEDs slowly take turns glowing.

Is this good enough? (I don't know the Korg tuners, I just heard that Stefan 
designed that MAM tuner with the design goal to beat the Korg tuners.)

sure thing-if ANY of the cs80(or any synth that needs tuning) owners out 
there have a mac laptop with an "audio in" jack-i think they all do-i would 
strongly suggest the $15 Katsura digital strobe tuner program. if you set 
your comp for "line in" under audio, this tuner is as rock solid as any $400 
rackmount tuner. especially if you have a way to listen as well as run the 
line in, its really great.

it has saved me lots of time on tuning synths across the board. with the 
cs80, it was especially helpful cause i could close the hood, let it warm 
up, and then just go through and test every voice on the tuner and write 
down EXACTLY how many cents it was off. this gave me a quantifiable way to 
tell the difference between where the OSC's are with the hood up vs. down.

 That sounds very helpful, especially the last paragraph about the final
 corrections.

 Thank you!
