Excellent. I do like bug fix releases.
New features are cool and all, but bake-the-cake please.

I went back and forth between asking here and starting a new thread, and Iām still not sure that this is the correct place. Iām wondering if anyone has experience performing sets with Hapax, using an iPad as the sole sound module. To save everyone some time, here are some things that Iām not asking about, for whatever thatās worth:
- Simply using Hapax with iPad: thatās been addressed here and plenty of other places, I take it for granted that this generally works
- Performing sets with Hapax and an iPad as one-of-many sound modules
- Performing sets with other sequencers (in addition to Hapax), using an iPad as the sole or one-of-many sound module(s)
Basically, Iām wondering if Hapax+iPad is a reliable, giggable pairing for performing sets that span several tracks, with no other devices (excepting an audio interface). There are always issues with individual devices, as well as the relationship between specific pairs of devices, and Iād love to hear about folksā experiences with (just) these two units.

iām still working towards a live set, but hapax + iPad (running Loopy Pro) is the core of my setup right now and while there is some outboard gear, it feels like at some point I could pare it down to the iPad as the sole source of sound generation. the one additional thing I wouldnāt want to give up is a Novation Launch Control XL that I use for all mixing.

Those three together would make such a nice and light setup, I need to rethink my choices

Yeah, I neglected to mention the mixer controller, but this is exactly what Iām imagining - either a Launch Control XL or an Akai MIDImix.
yea i returned the akai midimix in favor of the launch control xl. the knobs on the akai kinda suckedā¦ way too small imo

So Iāve been giging with hapax and itās never crashed but Iāve had some issues when I am deleting and copying patterns in the studio though not with the 2.01 release

Gassing for another one of theseā¦
Picked up a Hermod+ and itās made me really miss the Hapax. Sold mine to find a Push 3 SA (really regret getting the standalone, should have just got the controller) and I miss instrument definitionsā¦ I know ableton now has something similar but itās not the sameā¦
Also having an extremely fast and hands on way to input automation linesā¦
Iāve come to realize Iām a bit of a maximalist when it comes to gear, so it feels very good to have something like the Hapax sitting on the table. However as of now, itās mostly getting used together with Elektron boxes, which are amazing sequencers on their ownā¦ So a bit of a weird spot to be in.
Right now Iāve been trying to use the ST as strictly a sound module and the DT as its own thing and that kind of seems to be working. DT and its machines are so dependent on the internal sequencer, so it really doesnāt make much sense to sequence it with the Hapax. Now I have DTII arriving somewhere in May, so will be interesting to see how that shakes the situation up. Will probably hold onto both of the DTs for some months to figure out if there is any utility in keeping them both.
Where the Hapax sequencer is definitely better than the Elektron sequencer is polyphonic stuff and very long sequences and ironically I donāt have any polyphonic stuff on my table to sequence (besides my laptop/DAW).

Hapax folks, sorry for the complete novice question, but are there instructions somewhere of how to get Instrument Definitionās onto the Hapax?
Do you just put them directly onto the SD card?? Whereās the best place to get the files?
Definition files can be found here.
And they go into the hapax folder. Same folder the projects live in.

Is there a way to reduce the LFO depth to below 1% in the Midi Effects?
(So it can be subtle on synth/osc tuning/detuningā¦)
At least as indicated in the manual, LFO depth as an Effect should be able to go down to -100%
DEPTH -100% ā¦ 100%
Scales the LFO.

Thanks, but I mean can it go sub 1%+/-ā¦ the depth of modulation on my Syntakt bass track, for example, is too much at 1% depth, I only want it to be 0.1% +/- depth really.
So my question is is there a way to further scale down the LFO depth in the Midi Effects?
pushing down on the encoders as you turn, generally with Squarp gear, activates fractional increments if they are available (but i have no idea if that works for this parameter specifically)

Thanks, but it doesnātā¦ pressing it just lets you quickly take it back to 100% in this case.
Its not a big deal at the moment, Iāve got plenty to keep me occupied with the Hapaxā¦ Iām generally thinking itās fantastic.

Someone can tell me if Iām wrong but it sounds like the limitations of midi itself (lack of overall resolution) rather than a feature limitation. MIDI is limited to 127 steps, so thereās going to be interpolation and ājumpsā in between those. Unfortunately I donāt think that fine of resolution is possible. Would love to be wrong though.
Unsure if thats how it works internally.
You can send LFO to many internal destinations, not just to MIDI CCās.

True. I was thinking in the context of how itās being used here which was out via midi. Something internal or CV could be entirely different.
