We’re almost ready to release the next hapaxOS version: v1.14 !
It’s (almost) a bugfix-only version, and the final release should be available very soon.
However we’d like to get some volunteers to beta test it.
This beta firmware has already been tested in house, and not much is expected to change between this version and the stable production release.
How to join
This is an open beta. Just hop on to the beta website to get it!
The updated manual is available as well. (PDF version is unavailable for the moment).
How to send feedback
For all feedback, please send an email to beta@squarp.net
Please note we will not consider any feature request at this stage. Bug reports, small suggestions and general feedback is welcome. For all bugs, please provide a clear step by step procedure to reproduce it, so that we can fix it more easily.
Yeaaaah! Will give this a whirl tonight. Very happy with a lot of these fixes and improvements, especially this:
Minor additions
SETTING MISC: new ‘APPLY SUSTAIN’ setting. Consumes incoming SUSTAIN (CC64) MIDI messages, and delays inbound NOTE-OFF messages accordingly. This resolves an issue with regard to SUSTAIN recording, and using SUSTAIN in conjunction with the effects chain.
Although can this be turned off or maybe tied into the pattern sync settings?
Notable behaviour changes
Muting and unmuting projects is now synchronized to one bar
Awesome! I already use the Hapax regularly, so I’ll be test driving this ASAP.
I know the increased boot speed is probably just because of the code optimizations from what the team learned when working on the Hermod+, but seeing a patch note about even faster boot times is hilarious to me. It’s already pretty much instant from what I can perceive.
Yesterday, I was using a patched version of the previous firmware with a test mode boot fix. I encountered a bug I hadn’t seen before, but might be something older but rare. The Hapax booted into encoder calibration mode? I’m positive that I wasn’t holding down any encoders on boot. I don’t see anything about this in the 1.14A patch-notes, so I’m wondering if this is still a bug or if it was fixed.
The extra little features/updates that were thrown in like the Lydian mode and random name generator were unexpected and appreciated!
Just a note for folks that you should definitely back up before testing. I found an issue where any project I worked on and saved while on the beta would not open if I downgraded to the latest stable release. Not a huge issue, but something to be aware of on any beta.
I’ve asked about it a couple of times and had no response. I just need to be able to record poly AT and play it back, I don’t care if I can’t edit it. @Thibault_Squarp please unblock this
Awesome! Quick question for clarification, will this allow for programming of polyAT messages similarly to the regular AT, or will it only allow you to record polyAT from external devices like the current MPE capabilities?
