How . Exactly. Do The Custom Made Offsets Work? Options

[JDC]

I ordered a Stroboflip and it will be here in a couple of days.

I have a VS 1 but I thought it was time to upgrade and, besides that, it needed repair and I decided to spend the extra $$$ and get a new Peterson instead.

Before my VS 1 had its knob break off, I would set my it to GTR mode and then, I had some "tweaks" to that tuning temperment that I would manually dial in. I want to do the same on the StroboFlip except it doesn't look as easy to do on the fly and I'm unclear about how to do the same thing there.

I read the online manual, and it sounds to me as if I have to go through all the notes to do set some custom "tweaks". The manual says, at the outset of storing user made presets, the tuner will start on "C". Will the auto detect feature work when I have those offsets programmed?

What I'd like to do (I don't know if this is possible) is set the StroboFlip to GTR, tune my guitar, tweak the tuning to where I find it most acceptible, then be able to play the notes as they are now tuned and determine how many cents or tenths of a cent adjustments I have made. Once I know that, I can write those down and program those offsets into the Stroboflip.

If this is too unclear, let me just tell you exactly what worked on my guitar and you can walk me through doing it on the new tuner.

I set the VS 1 to GTR..I tuned the guitar and then fine tuned it so that it was the same amount in tune in half a dozen different places and in as many chord inversions. Then I played the notes back and. if one appeared sharp on the tuner readout , I turned the knob until the bars stopped moving. That told me how much ear adjustment I'd made. For that particular guitar setup the settings turned out to be E 0.0, B 0.0, G -4.0, D -3.0, A -6.0, E -2.0. I know that sounds weird, but I swear it worked and I want to do the same type of thing again. Those offsets are offsets of the GTR temperment and I never really checked them against EQU temperment.

Heck, who knows, maybe there is an easy way to do this and I'm just not understanding. Like...playing an E and wherever that tone is telling the tuner to save that as E (and so on and so on for each string).

Going from my old Conn ST11 to the VS 1 in 2002 wasn't so difficult as the pitch control knob on the VS 1 was sort of a "bridge" between analog and digital. But, there is nothing "analog-ish" about the StroboFlip. I'm going to need some guidance, here or else I'm sure trying to program the StroboFlip will be an exercise in futility for me.

If that's the case, I'll end up using the GTR temperment which I could have done with my VS 1, even though the pitch wheel is broken. I hope that's not what happens. That wasn't my intention when I purchased the StroboFlip.

I could just plug my VS 1 into the Stroboflip, I guess, and program in what I use on the VS 1, EXCEPT one of the reasons that I ordered the StroboFlip was that the knob broke off the VS 1 again and I can't "tweak" a note a couple of cents to duplicate what I was doing before.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
