We’re incredibly happy to release the first public beta of hapaxOS 2.00!
It’s been a long time coming, but this release is packed with new features and improvements, so much so that we’ve decided to bump the version number to 2.00.
Notable Changes
16 patterns per track
Multitrack recording
new FX ECHO
new FX OUTPUT
MIDI file import/export
ALGO on automation
and much more !
Word of caution !
As noted by members of the community, it is recommended to make a backup of your projects before upgrading to this beta, as older firmware versions won’t be able to open project created with beta versions.

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.
For me, this update, once released, fixes all my remaining concerns about Hapax. I’m looking forward to 16 patterns per track and multitrack recording. Of course, other Hapax owners will have different priority features. Either way, kudos to Squarp for this awesome piece of kit and the ongoing feature development.
Ive been checking the forums every day at least twice looking for this Not tried it but the features look amazing, and it fixed the sd card bug! Thank you
I would like to suggest the opposite of the current description in the manual for pattern list scrolling and pattern page jump, i.e. to use up/down for scrolling and left/right for page jump
Wow it’s huge… BTW nice graphics, I like the gradient style a lot, and also de iconic animations for each parameter, like the latest Elektron units… I know it’s not something “critical” but it’s way cooler…
And finally screensaver! Now I’ll be more relaxed to leave Hapax while doing “other things” (I was scared to see the screen some day as my Analog Heat MK1, I mean, burned).
Does this mean that note preview can be heard when adding a note and pressing the “stop” button? The manual says it can be toggled off and on in settings but I don’t see anything about “STOP” in there.
Ooooh! “quick step length” This sounds like one of the feature requests I requested in an email. I assume this means I can press the start and end step on a note to set the length of a new note in the piano roll? Gonna have to experiment with this tonight.
ooh I found it in the manual. This sounds very useful
NEW! Note lengths can also be quickly adjusted for existing notes: Hold a pad
containing the note and tap another pad to set the end of the note. For a length of 1
step, Hold the pad and tap a pad placed on the same column.
Not tried it but the features look amazing, and it fixed the sd card bug! Thank you
