Thanks for that, Josh!

I'll give that a try later. It's a great comfort to know that someone 
else has noticed it!

Would you be able to comment on the scale tuning, though? Is it supposed 
to be equal-temperament or something else? Has its accuracy across the 
scale ever been checked? Are the semitone intervals set by means of a 
static table or are they calculated somehow using the twelfth root of 
two or something?

I've found that it seems to have a very peculiar 'law': setting it to 
something less than 1 is fine but it suddenly starts to clip when 
increasing above 1.

I've suspected that for a while now.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers, Gerald.
