Love my Hapax.
However, I have a few issues. Would love to know if anyone else can relate. Here are three issues:
1) Instrument Definitions - lanes in wrong order
I put all my CCs/Automation lanes in a nice order in the text file. However on the Hapax the order is all messed up, everything wrong.
2) Unwanted MIDI pass-through
Hapax passes MIDI through when I don’t want it to. There is a setting that fixes this. In MIDI IN settings, you can set Notes/CC/PB/Pressure to either ACCEPT/IGNORE/REC ONLY.
‘REC ONLY’ fixes this problem. However, when you set this, the MIDI Matrix no longer receives MIDI. Meaning you can’t use it anymore!
3) MIDI Matrix changes don’t persist when changing patterns
Anyone use an external MIDI controller to control the Matrix? I do. But this is bugged. I’ll give an example:
Say you set a Matrix lane to control Swing Groove, externally. Change the Swing amount with your external controller. Now change pattern.
The Swing amount will change back to whatever it was. Changes don’t persist across patterns.
Now try changing Swing amount directly on the Hapax, with the encoder. Change pattern. The amount persists. Meaning, the Matrix is kind of useless for any external control - unless you only ever use one scene on the Hapax!
Has anyone else encountered these issues?
Can anyone test these and confirm they are bugs?
I’d really like some support on these. If you can confirm, please email Squarp and ask for these to be fixed.
I like the Squarp team, they seem like a friendly bunch, but I’ve asked (only occasionally, I don’t like to hassle them) for these be fixed for a while now without any success, and meanwhile many new amazing features have been added
