FAQs

What are the primary functions of the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module?

The E352 Cloud Terrarium Module functions as both an oscillator and an LFO, making it versatile for creating complex waveforms and modulations in a Eurorack setup.

Is the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module suitable for polyphonic patches?

No, the E352 is a monophonic module, meaning it is designed to produce one voice at a time, which is typical for many Eurorack oscillators.

How much space does the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module take up in a Eurorack system?

The E352 occupies 26HP of horizontal pitch, so ensure your Eurorack case has sufficient space for installation.

Can the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module be used as an LFO?

Yes, the E352 can function as an LFO, allowing it to generate low-frequency oscillations for modulating other modules in your Eurorack system.

What makes the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module unique compared to other oscillators?

The E352 offers a wide range of unique waveforms and morphing capabilities, enabling complex sound design and modulation options that are not typically found in standard oscillators.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium Module.

Software and compatibility

  • The WaveEdit companion software has a memory leak issue on Mac, suggesting users avoid leaving it open for prolonged periods.

    Source
  • Firmware update 1.6 increases patch storage capacity to 16, improving user workflow and patch organization.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The E352 allows FM on two different wave tables with both visible on the screen, which users appreciate for its versatility.

    Source
  • The module offers two outputs that can be mixed for mono use or split for stereo applications, enhancing its flexibility.

    Source
  • The E352 is rated 3-4/10 for menu diving, with most controls accessible on the main screen, offering straightforward navigation akin to Pamela's New Workout.

    Source
  • Firmware 1.6 adds "Morph+Blend" mode for CV waveform crossfading and octave shifts, enhancing sound design capabilities.

    Source
  • "Morph+Chord" mode in firmware 1.6 enables tuning waves to chords, with the X parameter selecting various chord options for evolving soundscapes.

    Source
  • New HPF option for FM and independent morphing of modulation/carrier waves in 2-op FM mode expand sound manipulation possibilities.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The E352 pairs well with a low pass gate like the Optomix for sound shaping, as noted by users.

    Source
  • The module is recommended as a primary oscillator in medium to large setups, requiring at least three modulation sources, with a fourth for FM.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners have integrated the E352 with larger systems like the E370, appreciating the unique FM capabilities it offers in combination.

    Source
  • Owners note that the E352 excels in creating leads, drones, pads, and evolving sounds, with its ability to load custom wavetables being a significant advantage.

    Source
  • Random voltages sent to the chord parameter create dynamic, evolving chord progressions, highlighting the module's creative potential.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The E352's 256 sample size may lack low-end harmonics compared to industry standards of 1024 or 2048, affecting its performance in low-frequency applications.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Potential buyers are advised to act quickly due to anticipated production challenges, making the current availability a crucial factor in purchasing decisions.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

Awesome!

The Synthesis Technology E352 combines the latest 200MHz 32-bit ARM DSP with SynthTech's Cloud and Morphing algorithms found in the legendary E340 Cloud Generator and the E350 Morphing Terrarium. And many more. The E352 has a single VCO, but 2 seperate audio outputs. The outputs are determined by the VCO Mode setting. They do not necessarily have to be the same pitch (Detuning Mode). The VCO is based upon a unique implementation of wavetable synthesis using 256 fixed-sample-length tables of 16-bit values. Each bank in memory consists of 64 wavetables, in an 8x8 array (like a chessboard). The Synthesis proprietary DSP algorithms then allow either smooth or 'glitched' morphing between the wavetables in various ways. The E352 comes with 3 factory banks (192 total waves) and internal FLASH memory to hold 26 user-defined banks. This allows over 1,650 individual wavetables to be accessible. The free, cross-platform WaveEdit program is used to generate and import WAV files to user Banks. Each VCO has 3 CV inputs (called Parameters or PARMs) which the VCO mode assigns to functions within that algorithm. In addition, there is a hard SYNC input, and the FM can be set to exponential or 3 ranges of TZFM (Thru-Zero FM). https://synthtech.com/eurorack/E352/
