Just wanted to drop by and say, "WOW!" I missed the live Modular World show, caught it after. You make me feel like a complete newb! Anyway, earned a KZread sub, a Bandcamp follow, and picked up your two most recent albums as well. Keep doing what you're doing, please! Definitely inspiring!

Great video. Thanks for posting it. I’ve used so many different sequencers in my case, and I still bounce back and forth between them. They are all so different, and serve different purposes for me, so I tend to keep them all. Hapax looks very interesting to me though. Would love to see you do a deeper dive on it in the future? As always, great work, sir.

Yep, they've all got pros and cons. I don't suppose there will ever be a perfect sequencer because we all want something slightly different.. Thanks so much for your kind comments 😊

I’m a few steps behind you: I have the Eloquencer and have been thinking about the Vector to gain polyphony but had reservations. The Hapax’s feature set is hard to deny but I’m a little worried it’d be overwhelming. I need to get more details on the Oxi One, but your video had some really useful insights. Thank you!

Nice -- the Hapax looks so awesome! I'm always intrigued by different sequencers. I've been pretty happy with Erica Synths Black Sequencer as my main sequencer. Looking forward to what you do with the Hapax. Cheers! :)

Cheers Matthew. I've not seriously considered the Black Sequencer. Maybe I should have... 😖😉

After a long time of pondering I got the Vector without the expander. I got the Harmonaigh quantizer with 4 outputs from before, in another case, so If I want I can play polyphonic without midi. I wanted it because of the ease of dialing in keys, but what surprised me was how easy and fun it is to use and learn. Anyway great video

Beautifully done sir. I am intrigued by Hapax. I have used Hermod but was forced to sell because of the tiny screen and workflow. I have worked with Rene II and Metropolis, but now am using mainly Metropolix, which has some drawbacks. So I’m always looking for that Unicorn Sequencer. Great performance and chat on Modular World yesterday! Cheers!

Have any of your concerns with hermod been addressed with Hermod+ ?

@Probbie

6 ай бұрын

I haven't tried it but as far as I know the only issue addressed to some extent is the display size.

After watching your "The Yearning revealed" I was thinking that I needed a Hermod, however that seems like the least good of the ones you presented here. I will have to continue to mentally deliberate what sequencer is right for me.

@Probbie

The problem is we all have different requirements; different priorities. I can only present my opinions based on my requirements and my way of working.. I suppose you need to think about what you want from a sequencer.

That was nice, and weirdly informative (there seems to be relatively little information around of the form “this is what didn't work out for me”). But the Hapax looks big-isn't it at least as large as the Vector with an expander?

@Probbie

10 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Yes, Hapax is relatively large. Probably smaller than vector and expander, but of course Hapax doesn't sit in the eurorack case..

@@Probbie I got curious and looked it up-Hapax is listed as 14.1ʺ×8.1ʺ, while Vector is 54HP all in, so Hapax is actually around twice the overall size(!), so even if you dropped the Vector into its own case you'd might have more desk space. Then again, the Vector quite likes to be connected to a Launchpad for shiny button goodness, so maybe there's no fair comparison to be made any way you slice it. In any case (ha ha, sorry) thanks again for the insight!

Great video, @probbie. Thoughts on Hapax a few months out? Considering….

Cheers Gary. It would appear from several comments that I may have neglected to mention some sequencers..! Sorry, not sure I'm aware of that feature. What is it?

@GaryHayes

10 ай бұрын

No it wasn't about being exhaustive, as your title makes it clear this is about 3 specific ones. The feature is something you get on the SQ1 / 64 or volcas etc: that even Elektron doesn't do. In essence in 'active step' mode, removing steps from a sequence doesn't leave holes, it butts up existing steps, so an 8 step 4/4 pattern if you remove step 4 for example will turn into a 7/8 and so on, and the ability to randomise or structure the order on the fly. A performance joy @@Probbie

Eloquencer looks like nice sequencer and even Hemrod too. I was comparing them a lot when I was about to decide which sequencer to buy. But at the moment I'm really satisfied with my Nerdseq and Sega Gamepad Did you have opportunity to use Nerdseq? If so, what do you liked or do not?
