Waves/Lissajous/Visual Display/Eye Candy
Waves
– not to be confused with a ‘real-time oscilloscope’, this display shows the data in the
corresponding wavetable of each output (or tabular data for Noise and Sample Player). The display will not
reflect FM or frequency changes. The ‘Expanded’ view shows more vertical detail. In the lower-left corner,
there will be a H/M/L shown for High/Mid/Low frequency range. A long encoder press jumps back to the
Settings
page.
Lissajous
figure – sometimes called a ‘X-Y Plot’, this is a real-time display of the OUT1 data plotted on
the X axis (left-to-right) and OUT2 data plotted on the Y axis (up/down). Due to the screen resolution, the
figure may not be continuous but seen as a series of individual dots. The OUT1 and OUT2 wavetables need
to be different, either in phase or in waveshape, otherwise only a diagonal line appears.
Visual Displays
– this is a graphic visualization of the 3 CV inputs plotted as various grids (Morph
modes) or the real-time spectra when in FM mode. A long encoder press jumps back to the
Settings
page.
Eye Candy
– like the ‘color organs’ of the ‘70s, this maps the 3 CV inputs into different
displays/patterns/shapes. There are several to choose from. No telling what you may find here. A long
encoder press jumps back to the
Settings
page.
File Menu
A FAT32-formatted uSD card must be inserted into the holder (label ‘up’) before you can access data from
the File menu page. The display will show the file names in MSDOS 8.3 format. Longer names can be
used, but will not be displayed in their entirety. There are 2 types of files shown: .BIN (binary files,
usually firmware updates) and .WAV (Microsoft WAVE format). The E352 can load in only 2 specific WAV
files (best created using WaveEdit):
1) a single wavetable of 256 words
2) a bank of 64 wavetables
The firmware checks the length of the WAV file and then decides during a LOAD operation which type will
be loaded. You can then select the USR bank (A-Z) or which position in a user bank (1-64). Writing/saving
to the uSD card is not supported. A long encoder press jumps to the ‘Exit’ option (you don’t have to scroll
all the way to end of the file directory to exit after loading).
