There is 1 jumper that selects if HOLD/SYNC is for both LFOs or just LFO1. This module uses a lower cost/slower speed/smaller memory DSP/MPU chip. So we crammed it as full as we could. All the functions are there on the front panel but this one option.
This allows the price to drop well below E340/E350 while consuming 1/2 the power. |

Well, here are a couple of tries at a 5U panel:
I'm going to have to mull on this one for awhile. I like the hardware layout, but there's no "obvious" placement for what function goes where. I'm leaning towards the second one.
Back to soldering. ;) _________________ Last module completed: Jürgen Haible Tau Pipe Phaser |

| AH was a page up with TBD. Their shipment of E355s leaves here today so I guess in a day or 2 there will be one. |

Howdy...
Is there a resource that illustrates the waveforms/bank for the LFO?
I had found one for the E350 and wondered if a similar chart were available for us who don't have an oscilloscope (yet).
Thanks... |

Insert/instruction sheets for both the E355 and the E340 would also be helpful! _________________ Last module completed: Jürgen Haible Tau Pipe Phaser |

Messaged the good fellows over at Control in Brooklyn. Opening tomorrow, but they did say you could email them to place an order. Happy to help a new East Coast retailer out. Plugging it in now! |

Those are nice 5U panels. I like the first one. No particular reason. It just grabs my eye. You might consider moving the switches up just a tiny bit. It looks like they are crowding the jacks. Also, I am not sure if the hole sizes are just "graphic examples" or to spec, but the jacks look too large and the pot hole sizes look smaller than the typical Synth Tech/MOTM hole for spectrol/bourns/BI/TT bushing size. Are these alpha sized?
Of course, that could be completely an optical illusion! _________________ Brian

Can anyone help? I want to buy an E355 ASAP and I can't seem to find someone that has them and will get back to me about them! I talked to Control Mod as soon as they announced they had them in and they said to email them directly and I did and then never got back to me. So I talked to Analog Haven and they said they were getting a bunch in near the beginning of this week. I saw the AH page had been updated with the price but there was no 'add to cart' button. I inquired with an email and while it's only been 24 hours, I'm getting impatient.
Am I on some E355 black list or something?  _________________ | My Facebook | My Soundcloud |My Vimeo | My YouTube | My GrooveShark | |
