[A6] Tuning

In answer to your questions, I am running the latest OS. I assume that
background and temp tuning are on since they're suppose to be by default.
But I'm blind so I can't confirm it from the screen until tomorrow. I'll
have my brother take a look to make sure. I did a hard reset so it certainly
should be on now if it wasn't before. It seems to be working better, but
it's definitely not as stable as my Oberheim Xpander. Generally though, I
love this thing. I wish someone would come out with a digital workstation
like this where all the functions are instantly accessible instead of being
hidden in a maze of menus. I love the sound of my Kurzweil K2600, but I hate
programming it because every parameter has to be controled with a single
dial. I've had it for years and made very few of my own patches. On the
other hand, I've had the A6 for only a couple of days and I've already
started making patches.
