Octaves sound very nice to human ear brain on the cheap overlooked Casio MA-100.
By monitoring frequency using a vintage cathode ray tube Hohner tuner indeed the high notes are higher than "equal" temperament. Bravo to Casio.
It sends to the cleaners instruments with many more zeros on the price tag.
See also the next euroelectron post on how each note sounds great too.
Compared to the nice MT-65, MT-100 the higher notes are even higher. And each overtone must be too as each note sounds very natural, easy and pleasing.
The Pleiades tuning (open source) is an attempt to make great sounding synthesizers such as the DX7ii and Korg Triton have great sounding octaves to listener's brain.
