Hermod+ and xp32 goes Braindance

video upload by Stazma

"Finaly managed to shoot a proper thing with the amazing Hermod+ & xp32 combo, by Squarp Instruments. Those two together are an incredible powerhouse of sequencing with many sequencing effects usualy only found in DAW. As it's often called a modular brain I went for something proper braindancy in the vein of my Repeat Eater side project (Analord tribute band you said?).
ALL the sequencing is done from Hermod+, as well as some modulations."

"Other modules used:
Rample by Squarp Intruments on the 808 drums (my own CC808 kit you get on Concrete Collage Bandcamp for free).
x2 810 by System80 on bass & lead

Live Set Re-recorded - from Superbooth25, feat AJH SYNTH all-analogue modules

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This is a re-recording of a 20-minute live set by @DreamsOfWires for Superbooth25, and consists of two old tracks from my video back-catalog. It's quite a minimal rig, configured as two all-analogue synth voices - one for melodic patterns, one for pitched drone parts.
The actual performance at the event suffered technical problems as a result of failing cables and a dodgy musician's inability to recover much from it. As a result said musician decided to record a version of it after returning home, demonstrating how it should have sounded.
In my defence, this rig had been on display for 3 days at the AJH Synth booth, demoing modules, being re-patched, fiddled with, then re-patched, etc... but then again, a bad workman always blames their tools :P
I hope this version is more audible.

Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

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."

Sequentix Cirklon 2, Minimoog, Prophet 12, SX-240, Nord Drum 2 IDM electronic track

video upload by MIDERA

"I've been trying to see what sequencers to keep. Obviously the Spectralis stays, but I kept running into roadblocks with the Cirklon so it was something I needed to write a track with. I did the same with the Squarp Pyramid, but I got stuck working through it. I'm starting to get the hang of the Cirklon though. Although it does often take a few extra button presses to do things I think should be easy, I've figured out other ways to do what I want too. I'll try again with the Pyramid, but most likely that one will be going away.

INTRODUCING XP32

video upload by Squarp instruments

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

🐙 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 :

👉 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.

🖖​ 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.

👊​ 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).

SQUARP HAPAX HERMOD+ RAMPLE JAM

Epic Bells 🔔 (Hapax sequencing Nymphes + Bigsky // Minitaur // Tanzbar + Boum // Waldorf M v1.10)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"In this track, the Hapax is sequencing all 5 instruments: Nymphes + Bigsky reverb (PADS), Tanzbar + Boum warming unit (DRUMS), Minitaur (BASS), M (BELLS) and S-1 (PLUCK CHORDS).
I've used a few of the cool features of the Hapax as the FILL button, the MIDI effects (MIDI ECHO introduced in v2.0, RANDOMIZER, HARMONIZER...), step probabilities, CC automation etc.

It's also the first track featuring the M with the v1.10 firmware, and the Oto Machines - Boum effect 🤩🔥!
I've been hesitating for a long time to get one as I already have the Elektron Analog Heat MKII 😊 But I really don't regret buying one finally as it can really modify the sound in a way that the Analog Heat can't (the Analog Heat doesn't really have a compressor, but it can be simulated using its internal envelope follower).

* Hardware used *

// PADS:Dreadbox Nymphes (6-voice analog synth) + Strymon Bigsky (reverb)
// DRUMS: MFB Tanzbar (16-voice analog drum machine) + Oto Machines Boum "Warming Unit" (stereo analog compressor, distortion, filter...)
// BASS: Moog Minitaur (analog mono synth)
// BELLS: Waldorf M (8-voice digital/analog hybrid synth)
// PLUCK CHORDS: Roland S-1 (4-voice digital synth, inspired by the famous mono synth SH-101)
// SEQUENCER: Squarp Instruments Hapax (firmware v2.0) sequencing all 5 instruments

Recorded in one shot and mixed in Ableton Live. A bit of chorus was added post recording on the BASS played by the Minitaur, in order to add more depth to the sound."

Octasource, Derivator, Burst, and Rample (a Eurorack test, not a law-firm ;-)

video upload by John L Rice

"I changed just one module in one system recently and that has caused a 'modular-Tetris' chain reaction meltdown across multiple systems! 🤦‍♂️🧐🙄😅

Anyway, I stopped working to test a patch idea: using the Ladik J-110 Derivator to create 4 separate gates from a single Erica Synths LFO output that are used to play a Squarp Instruments Rample sample player. (Athena Ladik Burst module is processing one of the outputs from the Derivator)"
