	A fact Waldorf has worked very hard to keep hidden until very recently is
that the Pulse uses DCO IC chips, whereas the A6 uses VCO ASIC chips. In
other words you're comparing Juno 106's to Prophet 5's, apples and oranges,
etc. 
	If you want it rigidly in tune, go to the tune page and Turn on
'Background Tuning". It'll stay in tune...it'll sound dull and horrible,
but it'll stay in tune. I somehow accidentally turned background tuning on
last week and spent about five minutes thinking my A6 was broken because it
sounded so horribly static. So, I theorized I must have turned background
tuning on, I checked, saw it was on, and once I shut it off things sounded
blissful once more.
	So I'd say: 1.) Turn 'Temp Tuning' on, 2.) keep 'Background Tuning' off,
3.) Hit 'Autotune' as soon as it powers up, 4.) Let it heat up for a half
hour or so, 5.) Hit 'Autotune' again, 6.) Make noise. Rinse, repeat as
necessary.
