The amount of preparation and thought that must go into creating an amazing video like this must be immense. Thanks for doing this for us, Jeremy. We’re not worthy.

I really like how all of your cables are bundled into a harness and we all can see all of your impressive rack equipment. Compared to others doing similar work, I appreciate all of that neatness and organized setup.

I've had mine for a few weeks now - it's completely transformed my eurorack experience. The sequence generator never disappoints and inspires me to no end.

Thank you so much for making this video. I was waiting for someone like you to make a video like this on this module. I have been working with the Hermod+ for a month now. Exactly for the reasons you are using it. To be able to perform modular music in a more songlike way. I make modular music and Im a singer songwriter. I want to bring these two worlds together. The Hermod+ really makes this possible. And although the manual is quite good it could not answer all of my questions. It inspiring to see someone as talented as you work with the Hermod+. You taught me a thing or two!

Finally someone properly runs us through this module! Thank you buddy hermod+ is def at the top of my list

absolute bangers, Jeremy. every single demo. came for the hermod, stayed for the jams.

Great stuff as always! Really shows how powerful the Squarp sequencers can be.

Glad to see another Squarp product in the wild. Modular intimidates me to no end but the bangers you knock out from them never ceases to amaze. Loved jam 1 but that beat in modulation tracks segment all the way through Jam 2 👀👌💥

What crazy good music you are able to produce, as a module demo! ❤

Your combination of practical gear insight/sharing and amazing jams is just intoxicatingly good. We need like a nobel prize for this stuff so you can get it

Thank you for this, Jeremy. Fantastic coverage and demonstration of this amazing module! I upgraded to the + immediately upon release, simply because of how central the original was to my rack setup, and I couldn't be happier with it in all categories. One thing to note here as well, the "feel" of the buttons and knobs is a really nice step up from the previous version and it's a joy to use. Not to mention how performant it is with the hardware upgrades inside, everything is really snappy. Wonderful stuff as always sir, all the best!

This looks like EXACTLY what I have been searching for. I have a NerdSeq and I do enjoy it, but I find myself fighting it a lot of the time. It’s capable of so much, but there’s just a lot of friction for me every time I work with it. This looks like it has all of the power the NerdSeq brings to the table with a much more play-focused style workflow. I think I need one…

I’m not even into eurocrack, but can’t resist but watch this, looks like an amazing module

Jeremy, dude, I've been watching your stuff for years and your jam at 19min was probably one of my favorite things you've done.

Dude. Incredible. Mad respect

I've always enjoyed modular synths as a vicarious pleasure - but watching what Hermod can do has for the first time made me seriously consider opening that can of rabbit holes.

You make it seem so easy and fun- a sign of your skillz for sure! Thanks for letting us sit in the room 😊

Heckuva piece of gear. Like having most of a DAW crammed into a Eurorack module.

Inspiring as ever. Great jams!

Brilliant! Ive been messing with the Hermod+ for a while but definitely got some new tips. Always appreciate guides to these complicated modules.

So glad to see this. Very helpful and a great listen. Keep up the great work Jeremy! And I love that Virt Iter Legio at like 12:10.

Been waiting for a solid review on this one. 🎉

OMG, thank you Jeremy for this video! You explained this gear so well and clearly that you changed my preconception about it completely. I'm just a few months into modular, and was feeling the need for a sequencer that can both store and/or play predefined melodies (using a Korg SQ-1 and a Keystep 37 as of now), and can jumble and spice it up when I want to. I'm looking for more musicality and arranging, but I was discouraged from considering the Hermod+ because I saw a led screen and I don't enjoy the menu diving even on the Pam's Pro neither. But seeing you to build up the musical layers live encourages me actually. And the workflow reminds me a little bit of that of the Novation Circuit Tracks which I love. Once again, thank you so much, for this and for all of your other videos too! You're an incredibly important influence on my modular and musical learning path! 🙏🙌

Status update: bought it.

A great rundown on a great sequencer with great merch to support a great cause. Jeremy, you're a peach.

Watching you with your wall of synth and it's amazing layout is like experiencing Clark's third law. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. when you built out that dynamic effects section it was pretty magical to hear.

Much needed Hermod+ info. Thank you, Jeremy.

Brilliant jams, some of the melodic leads especially. excellent sound design as well. ❤️🙏

although the world of modular is above my head, I appreciate and respect the work that goes in and sounds that come out. Stay safe. Keep jammin.

Surprised about the lack of marketing/hype for this sequencer seeing as the OG is regarded as a pretty staple Eurorack classic. Look forward to hear your thoughts.

Amazing video. Amazing introduction to H+ Well done !!!

Thank you for doing this! Having had the original Hermod for a while I recently got the Hermod+ and initially thought I made a mistake, figuring it could only do what the old Hermod did, just in a better and more organized way. You have shown that this is definitely not the case! The Hermod+ is very, very deep. I especially liked the dynamic effects chaining section in your video - there is just so much you can do with just one note merely by changing the order of the effects. The live/jam and realtime sequence change functions are also very flexible.

awaiting Hermod plus. can't wait

Virt Iter Legio sounds just like my childhood and I'm loving it!

The last jam was amazing!

I'm just a daw and soft synths guy, but this is so enjoyable! What you create here is so cool, as always.

This looks like a great device, some really well thought out updates! I got in on the upcoming Reliq that, at least on paper, looks like it might be the sequencer of my dreams... fingers crossed. The Hermod+ is tempting despite this! Well done demonstration.

This looks like an amazing tool for modular composition and workflow. If I hadn't already invested in a startup for a new sequencer, I would probably have taken a very close look at this module after watching this video.

god damnit, Jeremy, you keep making me want to get back into modular... but that way lies MADNESS!!!!

Really nice stuff in this one. I always love when you use the ModBap Osiris. I should get one.

Mmmm this vid made my day. Thank you!

Love the Hermod+. Been using a pyramid for years and then tried all the different modular sequencers and just love melodic stuff even in modular so bought the Hermod + and couldn't be happier.

I got the Squarp Hapax a couple of months ago, it's pretty much the desktop version of this (with a few more knobs). And while I still miss my Polyend Seq sometimes (it was a sequencer with wooden side panels! 😍), I by now know everything there is about the Squarp, even after a longer break of working instead of making music, as the interface is so well done. Also the Squarp can do 100x more than the Polyend. Definitely one of the best purchases I made.

Haha similar here! I kinda case the Hermod + aside as something too deep or complicated for my workflow but Jeremy has this amazing way of explaining things in approachable ways. The cv recording capabilities within it and very useful on screen and pad feedback seem hard to beat. Love modular sequencers but something I’m missing is that what you see is what you’re getting. Something to think about maybe later on next year. Big modules like hermod+ take me forever to save up for but maybe worth it here.

I had the original hermod and loved it (sold it) and wonder whether the hermod adds anything significant that I cant get through sequencing in Ableton. Your videos are incredible!

I love your eurorack case ...can you say where you bought it or what the specs are?

So with the Mod recording thing you can essentially turn it into a Voltage Block? The Voltage Block is limited to 5v no? Is this the same w the Hermod? Can the modulation you record be edited or quantized?

Jeremy! Great overview - Love the jam at 34:00, what are you using to drive the Rample? Could this also be driven using the Hermod+ in this instance? (seeing you still have quite a few spare outputs). Would appreciate you thoughts. (I have a Rample, considering a Hermod+ using Ableton+push). Cheers.

The intro song has a lovely feel - like a contemporary Sakamoto song or lost track off Ken Ishii's Jelly Tones.

@user-ko2ce4vu7v

also how are your midi synths receiving midi separately? I understand they're on different channels but are you daisy chaining midi devices with the MIDI thru ports from device to device?

Does the Ryk Vectorwave do polyphony over CV with the expander? I thought it only does multitimbral where each cv/gate pair on the expander controls a different voice patch (rather than each pair playing a different note of the same voice patch). I think it does polyphony over midi? Asking because I own the VW and just bought Hermod+. Looking forward to pairing them together!

Great video, I like this approach. When will modular companies make sequencers with accompanying CV outputs per channel? Gate, Pitch CV, Mod CV1, Mod CV2, Mod CV3, Mod CV4 - per track would be ideal. Jeremy, if you're looking for your next step in the synth world, maybe you should get your name on a module. Partner with a company to design something...or something. DivKid, Andrew Huang, Tim Held, Robin Vincent, and others have their names (and sometimes faces) on modules made by other companies.

I have an idea for one I just need to think more about it

Hey Jeremy, I still have and constantly use the harmed, besides the 8 added midi tracks, is it worth the upgrade?? cheers and happy Friday !

This pretty much answered every technical question I had on it. I have another sequencer that is continuously being updated with new functionality but is not intuitive to use and the manual is all over the place. It seems like the Hermod+ software is thoughtfully designed, easy to use, and "internally consistent". (If that makes any sense.) Is that the case? Are you ever fighting it? Any weird button combos you need to memorize?

@RedMeansRecording

7 ай бұрын

Surprisingly no. No crazy button combos. It's one combo of buttons away from anything that's not immediately obvious from the front panel.

Hey Jeremy, if you record notes in NOT using quantize, is the note then editable later via the nearest pad to that 16th note, is that how that works? Like what if you have a ton of notes, is there some way to toggle between the notes that you're editing? Thanks for the insight.

I was looking to buy a Mod Medusa for euclidean LFO but can this do it instead?

I love this, but its so powerful and I already have a Melodic...Do I still need this?

Can you self-patch it? For example, can I send an Env I have on a track to the Cv input, to modulate the parameters of an Env I have on another track?

Is it possible to nudge individual notes off the grid?

hrrm. timely, as I've been wondering how to runs my eurorack as well as one or two hardware boxes via midi.. i have 4 sequencers, non have midi... I don't need another sequencer, would you recommend this over say something like, pls no, mutant brain midi thing?? looks too complicated and I dont use a pc/mac for setting up... pz!@

Any thoughts vs the Hapax in functionality? I understand the workflow differences of module vs box

@RedMeansRecording

7 ай бұрын

Hapax is far more integrated with midi and has many more algorithmic tools. This is a bit more focused, which I appreciate

about that polyphonic CV sequencing... You have 3 outputs there. if you want to make a chord, do you have to go in each tracks piano roll to draw those seperate notes or is there a way to make that chord in a single track just outputting it through those 3 different outputs? You know because having to go on a different view for each note for me would be very disorienting for only seeing one note of the chord at a time. Hopefully this question made sense...

Erica Synths Black Sequencer Vs the Hermod +? what guy do you tell me to go if i have to pick one?

god even if you're talking about modular gear I don't understand, you just have the best music of any music KZreadr out there. The way you build as you're talking about it and then just seamlessly collapse into a jam....it's ridiculous.

If the drums aren’t being sequenced by Hermod, how are they changing along with each new Hermod pattern?

At 15:48 or so is there a way to stop the recording from recording over what you did without having to time the perfect moment to stop the record? Meaning could you record for say on 8 bars only and then out? This is beyond frustrating that it has a "punch in" but no "punch out"!
