USER'S GUIDE
ABOUT...
To see which version of the synth you have, right-click somewhere other than
on a control and select "About..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
CHANGES IN V2
Fixed-setting chorus.
Improved pitch bend and mod wheel behaviour, and a new mod wheel
attenuation button.
V2 is not patch-compatible with V1, and have different VSTi IDs. You
may wish to keep the old versions for work with old projects.
NOTE
At the time of writing, the original manual for a synthesizer uncannily
similar to the Hahaha CS01 is still available from the manufacturer,
here:

VSTi QUIRKS
The CS01 has a patch memory for 128 patches, but no built-in patch
management system for saving and loading patches. It relies on the patch
management functions of your VSTi host.
Any changes you make to a patch takes effect immediately. The only way to
recall the original, over-written patch for that instance of the synth is to load it
from a previously saved patch bank (.fxb) or single program (.fxp). Refer to
your host's documentation.
EXTENDED OPERATION
The user interface of the Hahaha CS01 is divided into two sections: The synth
itself, and some additional buttons and indicator LEDs on the bluish
background below the synth. When all the LEDs on are off, the synth behaves
exactly like the original with two small exceptions:
1. In addition to Breath Controller (BC) data, it will also accept Channel
Aftertouch (AT) data for expression control.
2. The Volume/power knob does not go to "OFF". Ever.
The extended operation buttons are, from left to right:
FOOT PEDAL
Switches to foot pedal for expression controller input (instead of BC/AT).
STD. PITCHBEND
Makes the pitchbend controller work downwards as well as upwards.
MOD WHEEL ATT.
Attenuates the modwheel so it has a less extreme effect and is more easily
controllable.
LAST NOTE P.
The default mono keyboard mode is that only the highest keyboard key
currently held down sounds. Activating this option means the last key pressed
will sound instead.
POLYPHONY
Makes the Hahaha CS01 8-voice polyphonic.
VCF KEYTRACK
Adjusts the VCF cutoff frequency according to keyboard pitch.
VCF VELOCITY
Adds expression to the filter cutoff using keyboard velocity data.
VCA VELOCITY
Adds expression to the amplitude using keyboard velocity data.
CLEAN
Makes the CS01's signal path all digital. This reduces CPU load and can
also add some zing to high-note triangular and square wave sounds, for
example. However, the majority of sounds will become thinner and a little
more sterile.
REVERB
Switches on a fixed setting "helper reverb", mainly intended to add a bit of
ambience to the sounds when you program patches and haven't got it hooked
up to an external effects chain. (Which you should have to make it full justice,
of course.)
CHORUS
Switches on a fixed setting chorus. Like the reverb, it's mainly there to help
you during patch programming.
You can also right-click a control and select Set... to manually select a
MIDI controller code / message type.
Right-click a control and select Unlearn to completely erase an assignment.
ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD
The on-screen keyboard moves when incoming MIDI notes in the right range
are sent to the synth.
Clicking a key with the mouse produces a sound internally, but does not send
MIDI out from the plugin. (And the original didn't have MIDI at all, so that
makes total sense in some weird way!)
