[A6] This whole tuning business

	I never liked the Pulse. That overly precise tonality just turned me off.
Thick and punchy but tonally boring. And that god-awful interface
::shudder:: I had more fun using my old SCI Six-Trak that only had one knob.

	Very true. I was shocked at how different my A6 sounded when I
accidentally put Background tuning on. It was really incredibly horrible,
like a JX-3P or something hehe. I could not blame people for being
disappointed in hearing and playing an A6 if they used one with background
tuning enabled and they didn't know about it.
