This is something I've lamented as well. This (FFTUNE/FBTUNE) is potentially one of I/A's most powerful features -- perhaps not so revolutionary now as it was when introduced, but still potentially useful nonetheless. Yet there aren't any good examples for using them, or classes, or tips and tricks documents, or any of that. The PSS does describe the internal workings to some extent on the PIDA; don't know about the FFTUNE. I need to "play" with it as well, but never have made the day or two commitment to do that.

To much of a black-box, to little practical examples but most of all, I like to know what I'm doing and have full control over all parameters. We stick to conventional feedforward scheme's with LLAG, DTIME, CALC, BIAS etc blocks and link the feedforward to PIDA.BBIAS However, I could have asked the same questions when I first started with I/A and the above mentioned statements would not have kept me from trying. I'm suggesting you give it a go!
