The Sensel Morph doesn’t work with the Hermod. I sent Sensel a report to double-check if the Morph is class-compliant, and they sent the following:

“I’m guessing that the the Squarp is suffering the same problems that the Snyderphonics Manta Mate initially had. It has to do with the fact that the Morph’s USB descriptors are multi-modal - it’s not just a class-compliant MIDI device, but all these other USB things simultaneously.”

Hi, I’ve tried beatstep Pro as a USB hots: Good thing the Beatstep get’s power from Hermod/and receives clock from hermod. Bad thing: My Hermod it’s not receiving the midi information. Anyone has the same trouble?

Hello, has anyone tried driving Hermod with the Op-z yet?

Yup op-z direct to usb host sends midi into hermod. Midi into z from usb host is acting buggy… let me know if you crack that egg.

Hi Lance, Thanks!.. was great to hear the Hermod takes midi well from the OP-z. i’ve finally picked one up along with a new Hermod this week and it’s running very well with Pamela’s New Workout clocking (via midi expander PEXP) Hermod+Opz while the Hermod is passing on the midi sequences from Op-z to Cv. It’s not rock solid… on master clock stop-start the op-z sometimes shifts a 16th note off-beat but still very workable and not catching any clock drift otherwise. The only thing i’m trying to solve now is the high-frequency whine that arises when connecting the op-z USB-c cable to the Hermod and simultaneously the op-z 3.5mm audio signal plugged into the same system. I’ve tried Malekko power, Make Noise power, Frap Tools Power and Row-40 and so far nothing can cure it from that side. i’ve even tried having the Hermod isolated with it’s own power source but still getting that high frequency cpu noise over the audio whenever the usb is connected. I’d love to hear how your Hermod to op-z is set up and if having any of the same issues and if so, if any solutions at hand… thanks!!

Hi, The noise issue you’re referring to might not be Hermod specific because I heard this from other people on Facebook OP-Z groups. They reported noise on audio output when the USB charge cable was attached. Some had access with AudioQuest JitterBug and other similar utilities.

Ugh, this is annoying. Hope it gets sorted out. Roli works just fine with Hermod so not sure why the Morph couldn’t

Sensel Morph with various overlays don’t work when plugged directly into the host. The Morph is supposed to work stand-alone when it has been flashed with a template. It is an MPE device, so maybe that is a problem?

Hi guys, you can now upgrade your Hermod with the last OS version (1.4), should be fixing all USB HOST issues!

As far as we know, only Elektron devices are not compatible, we are working on it.

Do not hesitate to report again you working/not working controllers!

Is there a usb host that stands out as the most compatible to use with the Hermod? I’m looking for something that would allow more control over the Hermod for live performance purposes.
