200e

OK, now here's something I don't understand: are the pots on the 250e
specifying the voltages at runtime, or are they just a 'convenience'
method for entering values into some internal memory?  What I am
getting at is the following: suppose I use the pots to make a very
basic CV sequence for output A with just the default values for
everything else.  If I then power cycle the unit without touching the
pots and press start, will the sequence still 'be there' (after all,
the pots haven't moved).  Or would I have to wiggle each one again to
're-enter' the value into the memory?

This makes me think of a more general problem with discrepancy between
pot positions and stored values in the 200e as a whole: how is the
conflict resolved?  If you touch a knob after loading a preset, does
the value jump to the new pot position, or is there a 'latch' mode
like on some other synths (not sure which is better / worse, I don't
really like either)?

Is there a way to force a module to use its front panel settings
rather than whatever is stored in patch memory (I can imagine, for
example, pressing and holding 'remote enable' for a few seconds, to
toggle between the front panel values and the stored values).

Sorry for all these questions, I just want to make sure I order
exactly what I need.  By the way, quantization doesn't really bother
me: many of my other analogue sequencers don't even have it. As long
as you can adjust the sequencer CV's finely enough to hit the sweet
spot, I don't care.

Thanks a lot!
