I did it directly from my sequencer program, Cubase. As soon as one step is taken, you will hear the beating and be able to count it. All the systems (PCs, Macs & some synths) I checked had a step size between 1 & 2 cents - pretty large for a just intonation purist. Nothing like a real honest experiment to be sure what you really have, as opposed to what the designer thought he did or the saleman thinks he's selling!
