Hi Mike-

Yes, there is a tuning procedure. If you hold down row 1 and 5 buttons 
at the same time, it will tune both filters and both osc waveshapes. 
This should only be done after the unit has been on for a while. The 
filters will never be perfect - they are analog, after all. The tuning
just 
gets the two filters somewhat close to matching. Unless your filters 
are way out of whack for some reason, there will unlikely be much of a 
noticeable difference in the tuning procedure - which is why it hasnt 
been officially documented.

Beyond that, holding down row 1 and 2 together displays the controller 
processor version, and 1 and 3 together displays the DSP software 
version. There are a couple others that need to remain hidden.

BTW, I hope to have a new software version in about a month with a 
handful of new features. Stay tuned...
