It doesn't at the moment.
I'll add it to my list of 'nice things to possibly implement once the
current list is done'.

I use mainly analogue synths, with MIDI to CV convertors driving them from
my P3.
A MIDI note of C translates to a whole number voltage on the CV convertor
output.
For some synths, such as my minimoog, the incoming CV can be 'transposed' by
playing on the keyboard.
If you play a sequence, and the last note is not a C, you are left
transposed.
I use the P3 tune feature to send the CV convertor driving my mini a C, then
I can play the mini keyboard without having to manually transpose what I'm
playing.

I'll add the suggested tips to the build notes.
I think an older page did mention the RAM initialise, but I think it got
left out after the re-design.
