Hi Flavio,

I haven't tried this myself yet, but in reading the ProSynth owner's
manual (available here: http://feldkir.ch/marionsystems.htm), it
sounds like you can autotune the both the Waveform and Filter ASM
circuitry sections.

System > Autotune page > All

The manual mentions "If another button is pressed and held prior to
pressing the ENTER button, audio monitoring of the autotune function
will be enabled", which confirms you can listen to the autotune
process. The only other system-related function that may be worth
trying would be a full reset, which erases all custom settings. This
was detailed in a muffwiggler post
(http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177849) that I've
edited slightly:

1. With power turned OFF, simultaneously hold down the "PRESET" and
"SYSTEM" buttons.
2. While continuing to hold the buttons down, turn on the power.
3. Continue to hold buttons down until the "MARION SYSTEMS MODULAR
SYNTHESIZER" or "Marion Systems Pro-Synth" sign-on message disappears.
4. The unit will now perform a reset operation which will take
approximately 30 seconds.

Occasionally, with certain ASMs, this procedure may not proceed to
completion.  When this happens, turn the unit off, then turn it back
on.  Wait for the data transfer process to complete.  Then, perform a
normal "Autotune" for "All".  ("SYSTEM", "AutoTune" page)  As soon as
the unit has finished the autotune process, turn off the unit and
repeat the process starting at step 1 above."
