Thanks for the firmware update, excited to try it out. It’s great that the devs are listening to the community!
Hey, just wondering if there will be any videos on the new features ?
This is a lovely update! Arpoly and register are the FUN, immediate types of generative sequencing I was craving a bit before, and the drum transposition is going to make working with the Rytm way more fun as well. Thanks!

awesome! I just got my Hapax last week. Feels great to see the company is invested in developing improvements!
Does anyone know of a way to set different midi channel outputs for each of the arpoly “tracks”?
The Register seems to work slightly differently than what I expected.
The sequence seems to revert to ”the original” sequence, set by the seed, but not all the time. I thought that you’d be able to change the sequence by using the flip percentage, and then freeze it setting the percentage to 0, but I don’t think I’m consistently getting this result.
Anyone else? Sorry for the wishy-washy explanation, but I’m not completely sure how it’s supposed to function…

I’m super confused about the whole thing.
I’d love an in-depth explanation !

I thought I was ready after using the Turing Machine and various derivatives, but…
Yeah the Register fx is kinda bizarre and overly technical. I still don’t get it, and have read the manual many times. Was expecting something like the Moog Labyrinth or the Cascadias’s Entropic Sequence Generator where you can control the probability that a step is toggled or changes note.
Would love a summary if someone understands the workflow of this one!
@Thibault_Squarp I think we are all kinda looking to you for some guidance about the finer points of how the Register FX works. Is there anything you can share to help us better understand how it works and how to use it with expected results?
Thank you!

I tried register now. It works pretty much as I remember the Turing Machine by Music Thing Modular. It was a while since I owned one, and a while since I watched the
mylarmelodies video explaining it, but I’m sure that is a decent starting point when trying to understand the concept.
The most important parameter to understand is toggle. This is “the big knob” on the original Turing Machine.
At 0%: The value of the bits are never changed. Resulting in the sequence being “locked” and repeating with the number of steps determined by the bits parameter.
At 100%: The value of the last bit is always flipped (0 to 1, or 1 to 0) when it is being re-added to the front of the register. Resulting in a looping sequence twice the length of the bits parameter.
Anything in between: Bits are flipped with the probability of the toggle parameter resulting in an evolving sequence. The sequence will be more random (evolving faster) closer to 50% and more repeating closer to 0% and 100%.
Some differences and things I don’t really grasp:
- The gate parameter is a mystery. Strange name if it is ment to be a chance like the manual hints at. Works more like a gate, but the gate gets shorter with higher values, no?
- The manual says “The whole register value is then used to generate a note”, but to me it seems like only the first (or last) 8 bits are used to determine the note.

Thank you for your in depth explanation. I’m gonna have to go play with it a bit and see if I can better wrap my head around it now. 
Thank you,

I think it would be great if Squarp (or someone else) would upload some video’s to explain each available effect, with tips and tricks how to make use of them in a musical sense and which are great to combine.
I feel I’m missing a lot in this department, as I only use a couple of the available effects. I do have to say that I’m not a big fan of automatically generated and/or evolving sequences, which a lot of them seem to do, so that’s also a reason I don’t use some of them. But maybe my opinion will change if I see some examples of great uses with them

yes please! the videos they already do have are REALLY REALLY good. Do more of them!

It’s the note length !
What I do miss a lot is a way to rotate the resulting pattern. I get very nice sequences, but they’re off the beat.
Since we can’t record the result into another track, there’s no way to change the first step…
Also, this made me encounter what could be a bug :
if you set the toggle to something else than 0% to change the sequence, then set it to 0% to freeze the sequence, then hit stop, then play, the sequence is changed…

Already sent this in the feedback form but I found I’m getting duplicate notes when using the next follow action on patterns. I tried the most basic scenario I could think of and after a few loops I’m seeing an extra note on/off message on step 1. 16 step pattern, 16 step follow length.
Just posting for visibility in case anyone else runs into it or to crowd source and find out it’s something I did and no one else is seeing this issue.
Edit - extra info, it’s specifically the follow length setting that is doing this. If I leave it blank then it works as expected. In my example setting the follow length is redundant, but I just tried to set an 8 step follow length and that also introduces the extra note, so there is something going on here.
2nd edit - after some troubleshooting with the Squarp team I found the issue went away if my SD card wasn’t in Hapax. I ended up wiping the card again (even though I had just done that and made few changes), and I haven’t seen the duplicate notes again so far.

Yes feel the same.
Would love to see some videos going indepth with these new effects and/or some tips and tricks.
About the REGISTER FX misunderstandings, I updated the online manual, indeed there was some description mistakes
