I have been reading the remarks about the O2 sweep and I did a quick test on my O"1" . While the sweep does pause a bit the faster you tune, it does update quickly and is useful to tune with. Practically speaking, I find the sweep updates fast enough to use with a 100Hz
step rate.  I usually use 10 Hz and 100Hz rates for my tuning "needs".

The tip to notice how far away the pip is that you want to tune to and do the math is a good one. I do wish the pips were centered regardless of mode. I realize the concept behind the
offset, but its not intuitive to my way of thinking.
