I have the OT-12, and it does have Vallotti - so if you want 1/6 comma
meantone, set it to "VT" and tune the open strings. You can't tune
every fret, of course, but if you use the tuner to get the 5th and 7th
frets in the right places you can work everything from there.
True, this is the temperament my Korg MT-1200 calls Valotti & Young, btw.
In case you're interested in the differences between these temperaments, you
can read more on Valotti (and Young) as well as 1/6 Comma MT on:

Talking about tuning, my Korg OT-120 has just arrived! Question is:
How do
I tune to meantone temperament? If I want 1/4.1/6 or 1/8 coma tuning?
There are some historical presets, and two are for meantone, one with a
sharp and the other with a flat. I don't know what they mean...
I don't have the OT-120, but its predecessor the MT-1200. From looking
over the shoulders of colleagues, however, I can tell you the presets
for mean-tone on the OT-120 are for 1/4-comma mean-tone only. The
sharp or flat option will be about the D# or Eb, I suppose. If you
want 1/6- or 1/8-comma MT, you need a programmable machine. Or your
ears. ;-)
