  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduc)on Thank you for your interest in e-ther. As its name suggests, it's played with gestures in the air like a theremin and can output: • MIDI over USB • MIDI over TRS (a lead with the right pinout gives MIDI over 5-pin DIN, see Appendix B) •...

    Micro USB This is the most convenient way to use e-ther as you only need to connect one lead. e-ther can take power from here as well as send MIDI. When plugged into a computer or other MIDI host with a micro-USB cable, e-ther should power up and appear as 'e-ther', (or 'TinyUSB Device' with earlier firmware).

  • Page 8: Updating The Firmware

    Upda)ng the firmware When updates are available, it's easy to update the firmware. With e-ther powered via the micro-USB, give a double-tap on the reset button. This should put the device into boot mode. Alternatively, with e-ther dismantled, keep the BOOTSEL or BOOT button pressed while plugging in the USB cable.
  • Page 9 Note that you can configure e-ther to produce expression or modwheel messages with the vertical control. Expression is the most likely to work by default, but there's a good chance that you can tell your software what parameters to change for expression or modwheel messages.
