Sidenote: I’m actually kind of trying to think of other synths like blofeld that have great MIDI CC support and lousy interfaces so I can really dive into them with hapax.
Digitone! (at least thats the one I am driving a lot of modulation through)
What do you use megacommand for with Hapax? I don’t have one but I have started to use the internal machine drum sequencer less and less. With Pyramid I used to just sync the Electron devices as they were better self-sequenced but with Hapax I find it nicer to just have everything controlled directly.
Yeah, I go back and forth a lot. Before the Megacommand I would almost never use the MDs internal sequencer, and instead controlled it either via the Octatracks Midi tracks or recently the M8 or OXI. Now that I have a Megacommand I have to rethink this a bunch, since it adds so much cool functionality (Sequencing the output routing! Microtiming, Trig logic, Poly chromatic voices, tuned sequencing without having to have a cheat sheet open, etc)
Some of this stuff I would get via the Hapax, but tuned sequencing, sequencing outputs and other things that are specific to the Megacommand controlling the MD I wont be able to do. So I am working through what is important, and what the MCL devs are willing to add.
