Poly Rave 👾 (Waldorf PROTEIN // Roland TR-6S // JU-06A // Moog DFAM // Squarp HAPAX)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"This time, I'm introducing a new instrument to the setup: the Waldorf Protein, used here for the CHORDS 🎹
The rest of the setup is made of a Roland JU-06A for the BASS, a Roland TR-6S for the DRUMS (no samples used, only ACB analog behavior engine with mainly the TR-808 model) and, for some additional percussion, the only analog instrument in the setup: the good Moog DFAM 🤩
Everything is sequenced by the Squarp Hapax, with quite a few things happening behind the scenes as usual.
MIDI LFOs are used to modulate some parameters of the TR-6S, while automation takes care of changing parameters on the JU-06A during the performance.
This time I also decided to use the Hapax's physical MIDI ports rather than relying on USB MIDI:
MIDI A : Roland TR-6S
MIDI B : Roland JU-06A
MIDI D (TRS) : Waldorf PROTEIN
And then there's the DFAM... which, as usual, refuses to speak MIDI. 😄
Since the DFAM doesn't have a MIDI input, I sent very short Gate pulses from the Hapax (Track 11) to simulate an audio clock, allowing its internal sequencer to advance in sync with the rest of the setup.
So, quite a lot going on behind what hopefully sounds like a relatively simple piece of music!
Another little experiment in making several machines behave together without making the whole thing look like a NASA control room 😄
As always, the performance itself was recorded in a single take. I do the mixing and mastering afterwards in Ableton Live."

Hapax + ALT : A Conversation In Sound
video upload by Squarp instruments and cyma forma
"Last year, our friends at cyma forma released ALT, a synthesizer unlike any other.
Intuitive, delicate, and endlessly surprising, it's the kind of instrument that constantly invites exploration. In this performance, Hapax acts as the conductor, providing structure and direction while leaving ALT free to be played by hand and reveal its unique personality.
A perfect pairing."

tc electronic 2290 p Delay with Synths - No talking Demo
video upload by Limbic Bits
"tc electronic 2290 p Delay with Synths - Twisted Electrons MEGAfm and TWISTfm
This video shows the TC Electronic 2290 P Dynamic Delay, a modern pedal interpretation of the classic 2290 rack unit (which I’ve never owned but always found interesting). Build quality is solid and confidence-inspiring, and feature-wise it’s a moderately flexible digital delay with filter, true stereo, delay subdivisions and multiple modulation sources that allow for controlled, musical movement."

Beetlecrab Tempera Granular Ambient
video upload by r beny
Click CC at the bottom of the player for the subtitles.
"Hello, I hope you are taking care. This video is a performance centered around the Beetlecrab Tempera granular sampler/synthesizer. My intention was to create a long form piece of music using only the Tempera, outside of sequencing (as Tempera currently doesn’t have a note sequencer).
I’ve had the Tempera for a while now, but have only recently gotten around to really getting to know it well - learning its ins and outs, learning its boundaries and edges. When learning a new granular instrument, one of the first things I like to do is figure out the relationship between grain length/size and grain density/rate. Tempera is quite unique in that regard, as grain sizes can span the entire length of the buffer (~11s in this instance) - this allows for one to play back entire samples as-is (polyphonically as well), without being “granularized”. On the other end of the spectrum, Tempera also excels at creating grain clouds with an abundance of short grains all firing off at once. I make use of both of these techniques in this video.
Some patch notes:
Tempera is loaded with 8 different samples from various sound sources from my studio. Each sample is just a single note of the sound source, recorded directly to Tempera. Tempera has a note detection feature, so each note was recorded at slightly different notes (mostly either A or C).
From to left to right across the 8 cells, the samples are:
Mannequins Mangrove
Mutable Instruments Rings (patched to make a “harp” sound)
Mangrove with another timbre
Korg Z1 (with a “flute patch”, which I didn’t end up using in this video)
Rings (patched to make a “glockenspiel” sound)
Korg Z1 (with a “bassoon” patch)
Felt Instruments Blisko Cello (with a Sul Tasto patch with only a single string)
Novation Summit (with a pad patch)
In the video, I use the 4 granular emitters in conjunction with sequencing from the Squarp Hapax to sequence and play the various samples across the grid. Emitter 1 is set up to play just a single grain per note, with a grain length that matches the entire buffer. Emitters 2-4 are set up in various grain cloud formations.
The Tempera is running the latest beta firmware as of 6/24/25 (2.2.beta13, shoutout to the Discord).
This is a long one. Thanks for stopping by and sticking with."

"I wanted to see just how lush the 1010Music Bento could be if I needed to use it on the road for a film score. All the sounds are stock except for 2 vocal loops and recorded directly into the phone via a Zoom LiveTrak 6 in my living room next to my dog.
I used the Squarp Hapax as a midi controller to get the chords and arpeggios recorded in there."

Live Synth Techno in the Studio: Squarp Hapax, TB-303, Jupiter-80
video upload by MR TUNA Music
"Some more uncharted territory here with some techno beats live from the studio. Not really our regular vibe but very fun and fast. Jupiter-80 creating some qualiy keys and big bass from the Korg Prologue with the boiling acid of the TB303 pushing us up and up and UP in the background.
Is this actually techno or is it something else? I can never actually nail it down properly this is probably too 'progressive'."

Dreamer 💭 (Sequential Take 5 + H90 / Nymphes + Microtubes X / 0Coast + Timeline / TR6S / Hapax)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"Back to the ~2-minute format 😅
In this track, the Hapax is sequencing all the instruments, starting with the Take 5 where I tweak a few knobs. Then comes the BASS played by the Nymphes. For this sound, I used its LFO's delay parameter. Thus you first hear the sound without any modulation, then comes the syncopated part at the end of the sound! I finally launch the LEAD part played by the 0-Coast through the Timeline delay and DRUMS, played by the TR-6S. The Hapax FILL button is being used here to activate a couple of MIDI effects on the different tracks.
Hardware used *
// 🥁 DRUMS: Roland TR-6S (Digital Rhythm Performer)
// 🎸 BASS: Dreadbox Nymphes (6-voice analog synth) + Darkglass Microtubes X (Multiband analog Distortion)
// 🎹 PLUCKS: Sequential Take 5 (5-voice analog synth) + Eventide H90
// 🎸 LEAD: Make Noise 0-Coast (semi-modular analog mono synth) + Strymon Timeline (Ice Delay)
// SEQUENCER: Squarp Instruments Hapax
Recorded in one shot and mixed in Ableton Live."
