where are you based? within the EU there wouldn’t be any ‘custom clearance’
from my experience, you get custom status when the courier has the package, and is starting to pass it through their hubs… i.e. already in their hands.
yup, you can select steps or blocks of steps - I show this on my next video (if I didn’t already ?)
cv and midi get transformed into ‘events’ , and then are treated the same, then converted to cv/midi for output. so basically cv/midi feels the same. (obviously cv has higher resolution)
you can therefore automate record and automate cv. (again in this evenings video)
one nice feature, when on the automation screen, you can see the notes on the pads too, so its easy to line thing up.
there is no slide fx, but might be something for the future?
as for automation linked to a step… perhaps when we get per note expression for mpe, this could be part of it.
yeah, I find these hard to actually measure…
I think the fact that Hapax is internally 192 ppqn, means they really focused heavily on improving timing.
(every beta release was showning ppqn values for debugging, only turned that off for the release!)
In fairness, Squarp had repeatedly stated , that they’d pretty much squeezed all they could out of the pyramid hardware (cpu/ram) … and to add more, would jeopardise stability which they were (quite rightly) unwilling to do…
its a mature product that does what it does really well. the Hapax does not take anything away from the Pyramid big great!
Similarly on the UI front on the Pyramid , its been pushed quite far… things like patterns are not as easy as they might be, simply because they were a (major) addition after release.
I know everyone wants more… but frankly, most user requests on the Squarp forum I see for the Pyramid, would harm the UI … make it more confusing for the majority of other users. (*)
it’s simply reached a point where complexity and usability are (imho) at a tipping point.
anyway, thats probably where Hapax was born…
writing new firmware, building new hardware that could accommodate all the requests they have seen over years.
(*) of course, the user making the request does not see it this way, its just ‘one small thing’.
but with hundreds of ‘one small thing’ requests, who’s to say which should make it?
my answer is the devs/designer … they are responsible for the products focus!.
of course this is a personal opinion , and also from being a developer… and knowing I dont want to risk the integrity of my product, by adding thousands of options that are going to be used by a small percentage of my users.
