The structure of the Hades consists of an oscillator with sawtooth and square waveform including pulse width modulation. The oscillator is followed by two level-adjustable sub-oscillators, calibrated to -1 and -2 octaves. The filter is a resonant 18dB
The modulation section consists of an A/R envelope for the VCA, a slightly percussive ADS(R) for the filter and a free LFO with triangle waveform, whose time range goes from about 10 min to 3000 Hz. If you include the control voltage inputs and outputs, you get new sounds that would not be possible without the patch jacks.
