Euclid (Waldorf M + H90 // 0Coast + Timeline // Nymphes + Julianna // TR6S // Hapax)


video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"I am continuing my deeper exploration of the vast possibilities offered by the Hapax 🀩

In this jam I loaded on the Hapax, the "definition files" for the Nymphes and TR-6S, and I have to say that it really opens up the possibilities to easily automate or modulate parameters on the synths (used for example here to modulate the pitch of some drum sounds or to add the noise oscillator of the Nymphes on some notes only etc.)

0:00 - The track starts with the 0-Coast playing a syncopated bass line thanks to the EUCLID MIDI effect of the Hapax, and with the M playing the main RIFF.

0:36 - I then fade in the Nymphes playing the pulsating (thanks to an EUCLID MIDI effect too) detuned CHORDS thru the Julianna analog chorus pedal (adding the wide stereo effect).

0:55 - The drum parts are played by the TR-6S using only the Analog Circuit Behavior engine (i.e. no samples used) for the drum sounds, with its VINYL SIM effect on the master bus squashing the DRUMS! 🀘 Also, I didn't use the TR-6S' sequencer here but the Hapax, in order to be able to swap between different patterns on only one machine (Hapax) + to use the FILL button on the Hapax to add breaks on the DRUM track too + I used 2 LFOs on the Hapax to control parameters on the TR-6S (as the TR-6S only has 1 LFO πŸ˜…)

1:40 - Bridge (only M synth)

1:55 - 4 to the floor part

2:38 - Outro

All the transposition are done in real-time on the Hapax (using Track 16)."

Register ®️ (0-Coast + Timeline // Perfourmer + H90 // TR-6S // Nymphes // Squarp sequencer)


video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"I really wanted to make use of a lot of MIDI effects of the Hapax hardware sequencer in this jam! πŸ˜ƒ
So nearly all of the sequences you'll here coming from the 0-Coast, Perfourmer and Nymphes, have been recorded with very few notes.
The rhythmic and chords richness are mainly coming from the onboard MIDI effects. Thus:

🎸 BASS (0-Coast):
The track starts with the 0-Coast playing a simple pattern, which gets a bit more complex when I add more PULSES on the EUCLID effect of the Hapax. There's also a RANDOM MIDI effect on this track which from time to time, transposes some notes to 1 or 2 octaves.

🎢 ARP (Perfourmer):
The Perfourmer then gets introduced progressively, sequenced by Track 2 of the Hapax where actually, no notes where recorded! Every note you are hearing are being generated in real-time by the REGISTER MIDI effect. I also used the SCALER effect for the generated notes not to go out of scale πŸ˜‰

🎹 CHORD STABS (Nymphes):
I used the RANDOM + HARMO + SCALER MIDI effects here to transform the single notes recorded to the cool CHORD STABS!

πŸ₯ DRUMS (TR-6S):
The drum parts are played by the TR-6S using only the Analog Circuit Behavior engine (i.e. no samples used) for the drum sounds. I didn't use the TR-6S' sequencer here but the Hapax, in order to be able to swap between different patterns on only one machine (Hapax)."

New Room ☮️ (Vermona Perfourmer + H90 + Pill // Make Noise 0 Coast + Timeline // Squarp Hapax)


video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"In this jam, I didn't really want to set a time limit 😊 It's actually quite a simple setup with 2 synths (Perfourmer and 0-Coast) playing in monophonic and the TR-6S taking care of the DRUM parts (no samples used here, only the Roland's - ACB Analog Circuit Behavior - analog modeling engine).

I've used the individual outputs of the Perfourmer where the main outputs are playing voices 1&2 (BASS) and outputs of voices 3&4 are going into the H90 and Pill pedals. Even though the 4 voices are playing the same notes, voices 3&4 seems to play like a PAD especially when I enable the PITCHFUZZ effect of the H90!

As for the 0-Coast which is taking care of the PLUCKS, I did some patching mainly to add some variations (modulation of some parameters using the S&H LFO) on the sound."

INTRODUCING XP32


video upload by Squarp instruments

"πŸ’₯ Introducing xp32, the perfect expander for unlocking 32 assignable CV or Gate outputs, amplifying the creative power of your Hermod+ sequencer.

πŸ™ Transform your Hermod+ into a 16-track CV/Gate powerhouse, an expansive MIDI/USB-to-CV interface, a preset manager, or customize your outputs to suit even the most intricate modular setups.

🧠 xp32 opens up a new world of possibilities for both live performances and studio setups, giving you the flexibility to bring your most complex musical ideas to life.

PATCH NOTES & CHAPTERS
0:00 HOW TO SETUP
Setting up the xp32 is incredibly simple. By connecting the included expander ribbon cable to the back of Hermod+, xp32 integrates instantly, no configuration required.

0:16 TR1 : DEFAULT LAYOUT
By default, xp32 outputs note pitch, note gate, note velocity, and modulation.
All these outputs are automatically mapped to the USB keyboard and can be recorded directly, preserving all the nuances of natural playing.
I'm also adjusting the range of the velocity outputs from -10V to +10V to maximize Atlantis's inputs response.

0:53 TR2 : GATE LAYOUT
For track 2, I'm setting all outputs to gate. Each output responds to a different MIDI note and is connected to Rample, which is handling the drums.

1:24 TR3 : CV/GATE + 4 MODULATION
A regular CV/Gate output from Hermod+ is used to generate random notes, which are sent to Plaits. I'm using 4 voices of xp32 to send all 4 available MOD lanes to Plaits. These modulation signals are accessed via the STEP ANALYZER and randomly generated by pressing STEP+Y on Hermod+.

2:12 TR4 : EXTERNAL MIDI CC TO CV
I start by connecting Hapax to Hermod+ via USB. Hapax is sending 4 MIDI CC messages, which are converted into CV and output on the 4 voices of XP32's track 4. These signals are then routed through the system to various controls.

HERMOD 2.00 - NEW FEATURES


video upload by Squarp instruments

CHAPTERS
0:03 Manual editing for each layout
1:21 Step-analyzer and new MOD 2, 3 and 4
2:38 Programming internal FX modulation
3:29 Changelog

"In this video, we explore the two main changes introduced in the latest 2.00 update of Hermod+ OS :

πŸ‘‰ Internal Modulation – Each track now includes four independent MOD lanes that can be step-sequenced, recorded or generated and routed through the mod matrix. This makes FX automation very powerful and easy to program.

✌️Advanced Data Editing & Randomization – Users can now display, edit, and randomize any type of track data including MOD, Aftertouch, Velocity, and more. Simply hold the STEP button while in STEP mode to access and customize the specific parameter you want to modify.

πŸ––​ Refined Workflow & Enhanced Flexibility – The update also includes performance improvements, UI refinements, and additional features designed to enhance creative flow and make sequencing more intuitive.

πŸ‘Š​ Added CV IN Detection – (when Hermod+ is recording, the CV IN modulation will be recorded only if a change is detected, in order to save memory space).

How To Loop All The Gear In A Studio: Sequencers/Mixers/Synths


video upload by MR TUNA Music

"Hello my friends this video has been a very long time coming. Its been years since I have done an updated studio tour and rundown so I figured today was a good day to catch up!

The reason it's taken so long to do something like this is because I've always been so overwhelmed at the idea of doing it right........ So instead of making a big production out of things we're going to keep it cool and casual and just see what catches out attention as we go. Thats the only way this is ever getting done!

The most important part of my studio is the ‪@ElectricSquad‬‪@squarpinstruments‬ Hapax sequencer. The Hapax is connected to every single piece of midi-equipped gear in the studio via 5-pin din or usb and is what allows me to loop everything in sync with each other.

When I play the keybed or change the controls on a synth, I'm not directly playing the gear so much as I'm playing it through the Hapax. With local controls turned off on the synth, all of the notes and midi information is sent OUT to the Hapax and does not trigger the synth in question (yet). After it gets to the Hapax it is run through any enabled MIDI effects and (if recording is armed) is recorded into the loop before it is sent instantaneously back to the synth in real time in a way you cant even tell that its happening. This way you can enable effects like arps and harmonizers on synths that dont have them.

All the audio from every synth and drum machine is sent to the tower of 3 Roland MX-1s. the MX-1s send MIDI sync and power through usb to some AIRA-link enabled pieces of gear and simplifies some cabling that way, and every track can be sent to Logic and recorded individually as its own instrument when combined as an aggregate audio device on my macbook."

Metunar Live 2024


video upload by Metunar

"Metunar Live at the ChrΓ€merhuus/Langenthal/Switzerland in 25. October 2024.
This video is a concert excerpt. I played songs from my „Music for Cinemas“ and „Fresh Paint“ project.

Did you spot the grasshopper?

Technically I used a kind of modular multitrack song player. All songs are composed of 4 loops/samples (from the Squarp Rampler) and 8 main loops (from the Dave Rossum Assimil8or). Mix and effect manipulation is done live.

Yamaha SEQTRAK Live Looping & Visualizer Performance


video upload by MR TUNA Music

"All sounds, sequencing, and visuals from @yamaha #seqtrak! πŸ† Such a fun and actually very capable machine— For this jam I’ve got Seqtrak hosting the Squarp Pyramid through USB as my glorified MIDI channel selector, and then I’m using the @roli_create LUMI Keys SE to connect to Seqtrak through the Pyramid via Bluetooth MIDI (and some @cmepro WIDI Masters) so I can switch between the 3 synth tracks and also bring in the drums live.

I’ve had the Seqtrak for a week and it’s melding the Tunaverse together in ways I could not have imagined… The live visualizer is very interesting and surprisingly deep. This is a customized program I built and I love the results but I’m really looking forward to putting it through the video synth 🦾🦾🦾"
