Hi,
I know we can assign the default note to be played on a drum lane, but it’d be great if we could hold a step and adjust that note on a per-step basis-- sort of like OXI ONE’s implementation. Is this on the roadmap?

I would like to see this too- it would be ideal for my DSI Tempest/Syntakt/Analog4/Digitone/Analog RYTM - which is a very musical drum synth , and capable playing in all registers. (And works as Analog Groovebox)
This is with the decoupled length of the automation lane, also my number one/two wish. (Sorry Drum Maschine Addict <-oO->)

Holding a step and having the ability to lock a different note for that step would be amazing! my current workaround of using poly mode for melodic sequencing of my drum machine voices I want to sequence melodically takes me out of the flow of having all my rhythm elements on 1 track.

Drum instrument (kick, snare…) being triggered by MIDI note (on/off + velocity) I don’t see how you would also use the note to control the instrument pitch value with MIDI note information. I see this as a CC control (I do that for example to control a Jomox Airbase)
I probably am missing something though, can anyone elaborate on this?
That’s not how it works on say, the Syntakt, where each drum is on a separate channel, and pitch controls the pitch of the drum sample.

hmm sure i’m stupid, that’s a must have feature, i get it now!
But nevertheless a great suggestion, that would allow perfectly timed backward samples with the off trigger.

I’ve requested this feature as well a while back! would make DRUM mode infinitely more useful to me!

you do want to either use drum tracks for pitched drums or use it for machines that also allow for multiple triggers and pitch for melodic stuff, too!

This could be useful if you use multiple Ramples too.

indeed
there are soo many uses, especially with Eurorack modules — or if you wanna go crazy and sequence a Syntakt for example, coz it has no Arp on its own
100% agreed on all of this. For me, it’s a must-have feature that makes the OXI One appealing-- because it has this feature. Drum tracks are SO much more useful on the OXI. Despite that, I hang onto my Hapax with the hope that this feature is implemented. Ideally, each drum lane should be able to have their own pitch page (monophonic of course) – again the OXI does this. But I’d settle for per-step parameter locks for pitch.
What if you want to sequence the pitch on an 808? Impossible with the Hapax in drum lanes right now.
edit: and pretty much everyone I talk to about this agrees, it’s a pretty glaring omission. All respect to the Squarp team, but this is a barebones, must-have feature.
Please write to Squarp directly asking for this in the next firmware!

Great idea! Send it in on their feature request page
They are good at replying.

Plus 1 for this too. It’s incredible useful feature and I’m sure some people would consider the oxi over the Hapax based just on this one feature
