As an eager neophyte to the various tuning systems and just

I just purchased a Korg MT-1200 tuner, which comes with several
preprogrammed intonations, including just - major, and just - minor. I
have a couple of questions for those who know about this unit: (1) how
does this terminology jibe with Partch's and those used in the Just
Intonation Primer? and (2) I know my ears are spoiled by tempered music,
but I don't hear any difference between these tunings and equal
tempered. How does one check to make sure the tunings are correct? I
tuned a double harp using the just - major tuning, and all the triads
sounded too like equal temperament to my ear (admittedly unschooled as
yet).

Thanks for any comments and advice from the list.
