Squarp Instruments Hapax Polychronic Performance Sequencer

That’s good to know! That does elevate the Oxi One into Hapax territory, as the Oxi One is kind of the closest (and also most exciting) alternative to what I see as wonderful about the Hapax.

Thanks for the correction!

EDIT: @CarlosUnch I looked more closely at the manual, looks like in multitrack mode a sequencer can run up to 8 tracks but that would be 8 monophonic tracks, i.e. if I want to run let’s say a 4-note chord progression that would occupy 4 out of 8 tracks of a sequencer? Is this correct? If so that does give a definite edge to the Hapax in settings where polyphony and track count matter.

I do like the portability, battery, and general tiny form factor of the Oxi One — looking through the manual, it does a lot of things and some really unique things. Though I think the Hapax has the better, more user friendly UI. I can imagine the Oxi is a bit like the Deluge in the sense that practicing with it would make it intuitive to use due to muscle memory, the Hapax just looks cleaner and more accessible to me…or better put, it suits my way of thinking better.

I could see myself getting an Oxi One down the line as well though for the form factor alone. Plus it’s sort of nice to see a small company dare be so innovative and idiosyncratic.
