Frequency Page

FM Calibration: when in Linear FM mode, there will be an offset in pitch from EXPO mode. If this is
annoying, select 'Go' and the E352 will quickly run an internal calibration to reduce this offset (it may not
be able to 100% cancel it out). Be sure there no CV plugged into the FM In jack when running the
calibration routine.

Colors

The E352 allows various text, backgrounds, and other elements to be reprogrammed from factory
defaults. There is no 'error checking' for having foreground and background colors the same value. The
colors are selected by mixing the RGB amounts, and the result is shown in a preview window.

Patches

There are 8 patch memories in the E352. The patches are saved in internal FLASH, not on the uSD card.
You cannot load a patch from the uSD card into the E352.
Saving – this stores all of the menu settings, from every menu page, into internal memory. The positions
of the panel controls are NOT saved. Patch memory cannot be 'write protected' and writing is immediate
(no 'Are you sure?' message will appear).
Loading - the current 'state' of the E352 is replaced by the data in the patch memory location. This
operation is fast (less than 200ms) but not instantaneous. The only mechanism to load a patch is with the
encoder selection: there is no "load patch using a CV" function.

Mode Help

This screen has 2 parts:
1 – the current VCO Mode is shown, and the mapping of the 3 CV parameters (X/Y/Z), the 1V/Oct input,
and what the 2 outputs are, well.....outputting.
2 – the lower-left corner 'WaveTbls' (Wave Tables) will display the filename associated with the 26 USR
wave banks.
The top display shows the frequency of OUT1, based on a single-cycle
wave or wavetable. Note that wavetables can have multiple zero-
crossings and hence a higher frequency than displayed (for example, the
first row of ROMA sine harmonics).
At lower frequencies (L range) the display shows the period of the
output.
The Quantizer has 3 controls:
Quantize: turns the 12-steps/oct quantizer on/off.
Offset: -103 to +102 cents offset from the main output, only when the
Quantizer is On. This is a 'super-fine tuning' mode so you can dial in the
pitch once quanzized.
FM Quantize: the quantizer can also be optionally applied to the FM In
CV.
