2.1 MIDI Interface

Hades Midi interface will allow the following actions:

- Note(s) on / off (gate).

- Pitch tracking up to 9 octaves (C -1 up to C 10). The pitch is converted to 1v/oct

which can be accessed via the dedicated patch.

- Pitch wheel for 3 semitones up/down. This is also transmitted by the 1v/oct output.

- Modulation wheel (accessible only via patch) 0- 5v

2.2 Oscillator and Sub-Oscillators

The Hades oscillator needs about 2 to 3 minutes to warm up. You can just turn on the synth and play,

but the tuning will change during that time. It work with the classic 1v/octave controllers or a midi

source. By default the tune knob should point at about 12.00 o'clock for a correct tuning.

to CHAN, it will play the last channel received when the switch was in

the OMNI mode.

For example, in order to set Hades to channel 2:

- Set the switch to OMNI mode

- Set your MIDI keyboard to Channel 2
