hello kai. i'll do my best and hope that i understand your questions correctly.

you mean the timings or output voltages are different when you're in
edit mode? i've never seen that before. it would be a very strange
defect. it seems much more likely that you've changed something else
as well as going to edit mode, like setting a jump, changing the time
scaling, or changing the output voltage range, all of which are easily
accomplished by accident.

there is no reset button. you could use strobed addressing, or an
imaginative configuration of pulse modes, to create a reset pulse from
your computer.

you mean hold each output pulse from the 250e for an arbitrary length
<= the note duration? no, sorry. you could do it with a 281e, i bet.

the FM knob is zeroed at the fully counter-clockwise position. the CV
input scaling knob is zeroed at twelve-o-clock (there is a detent
there.)

remember that because the 200e uses presets, any knob parameter may,
at any time, have a value that doesn't correspond to the physical knob
position. most knobs interpolate between their physical position and
the stored parameter value. to "reset" the knob, sweep it back and
forth across its full range.

hope that helps.
