11. You will have to lower the partial at different points on different pianos. FAC tunings use the octave fifth (sixth partial)
in the bass at A0-B2, double octave (fourth partial) C3-B4, octave (second partial) from C5-B5, and fundamental (first
partial) from C6 on up through the high treble.
12. Continue along in measuring and storing until you have stored each note on the piano.
STORING A TUNING IN MEMORY FROM A PRINTOUT
1. Turn the Sanderson Accu-Tuner on and press the TUNE button.
2. Select the PAGE by holding SHIFT and then using PAGE button to get to the desired page in memory that you want to
devote to this piano. Then press OCT and NOTE buttons to get to the first note to be recorded.
3. Press the MEM button (above the ON/OFF button) and the SAT will show you the NOTE and OCTAVE you are about
to store along with the PAGE number you have chosen. (If the display is not set up correctly, use the OCTAVE and
NOTE buttons to correct the error.)
4. Press the TUNE button and the SAT will display the partial of the note you are about to store and the CENTS deviation
for this partial. (If the display is not set up correctly use the OCTAVE, NOTE, CENTS buttons to do so.)
5. Store this note by holding down SHIFT and then press STO-MEM.
6. The SAT will carry along the partial and the cents deviation after you have stored a note to memory. All you have to do
is adjust the cents to agree with the cents listed on the tuning chart. Then store the note by holding SHIFT and pressing
STO-MEM. You will notice while you hold down the SHIFT button during storing a note, the display shows the note and
octave of the note you are storing and the PAGE in memory. This allows you to check yourself as you go along.
7. Continue along entering the cents from the printout and then storing to memory (hold SHIFT and press STO-MEM)
until there is a change in the partial to be stored.
8. In the case of an FAC tuning chart, the partial changes occur at C3, C5, C6. When you come to these points press the
TUNE button and then enter the correct the partial and the cents deviation (using the OCTAVE, NOTE, and CENTS
buttons). Then double check (as in steps 3,4) by alternating between MEM, and TUNE buttons to verify the information
before storing it (hold SHIFT and press STO-MEM).
9. Once the partial is set up correctly you only need to change the cents setting and store until the next partial change.
Continue the methods described above until the entire tuning is stored.
UP OR DOWN MEMORY STORAGE
The direction in which the memory advances while storing a tuning can also be changed at will. When the SAT is first
turned on, storing a note setting will increment the note setting to the next higher semitone. This is not convenient when
storing from the treble bridge down into the bass. To change the direction, hold down the MEM button, hold down the
NOTE down button, then release the MEM button and release the NOTE down button last. (roll over from MEM to NOTE).
This procedure "teaches" the STO-MEM button that it should store and decrement the note setting. To get back to the
normal direction, repeat the procedure using the NOTE up button instead of the NOTE down button.
MEMORY STORAGE WITH THE FOOT SWITCH
Storing a note to memory ordinarily requires two hands, one to hold the SHIFT button, and one to press the STO-MEM
button. This was done deliberately to make it difficult to store notes accidentally, possibly wiping out a valuable tuning.
When storing a piano in memory from a written record, or tuning and storing a piano as you go, you can "teach" the foot
pedal to store notes for you.
To teach the foot pedal to store notes, hold the foot pedal down, hold down SHIFT button, hold down STO-MEM, release
the foot pedal, then release STO-MEM button, then release the SHIFT button. Now be sure to use the foot pedal with
care, because it will put new information into memory whenever it is pressed, and wipe out the information that was
previously stored at that location.
If you want the footswitch to stop storing to memory, teach the footswitch a different task: hold down footswitch, hold
down NOTE up, release footswitch, and then release NOTE up.
