Re: PowerChromatic: The 12 Major Scales with Bends ; Setup Advice
I've gotten pretty comfortable with my C tuned Saxony so I'm hesitant to go to a G tuned PC. I'm still a rookie with chromatic but I really like the idea of being able to bend notes so I really want one. At this stage I just don't want to start from scratch re-learning the few tunes I've gotten comfortable with.

I too had become quite used to a stock chromatic before i tried PC tuning. In my opinion, a half valved PC is superior to a standard chromatic. Way more expressive and intuitive. You will probably be surprised at how little adjustment period there is. give it a chance!

Brendan, I was listening to  "What a Wonderful World" from "back to back" which is jusy incredibly beautiful by the way! There's a point in the melody where you go from a G to an A and it sounds like a button push us happening. 
It got me wondering if you ever configure your power chromatics like a slide diatonic?? where the slider raises to the next scale tone.
Then i also wondered if you ever tune the slider a whole step up respectively.
For instance a G pc slider out and an A pc slider in (as opposed to Ab)
Anyways I'm really just wondering how you get that quick transition from the G to the A!
