I guess the question is, do these problems make a difference when you go 
to play live or to record, or is it only a nit-picky thing that bothers 
you when you sit there and try to reproduce it?  If you're going to 
leave off either one of temp. tuning or background tuning anyway, then 
it would seem to be a non-issue.

I mean look at an orchestra.  None of the instruments are perfectly in 
tune with each other, and many of them have different tuning scales 
anyway, making a perfect tuning across all notes impossible ... but it 
still sounds great!

Personally I'm more concerned with the fact that all of the controllers 
step, and sometimes you can really hear it.  Not just when you twist the 
oscillator knobs, but sometimes if the ribbon controls something like 
filter frequency, it has this annyoing quantization and I really was 
that was continuous.
