Totally agree, it seems to me that the percentage of user requested features that get implemented is really low.
The features they come up with are pretty amazing no doubt, but in my opinion, the users should be listen more, since we are the ones we have paid real money for the product.
It is specially frustrating to see because the product is so dam good already. If only they add a sprinkle of real users requested features too make it 10/10.
Thanks for the update anyway.
Thanks. But I still donât understand 
I did read the manual, which has the same description, but Iâm not sure if I understand the specific use case?
I canât seem to use the MPE polyphonically with my Prophet 10. It works fine in normal poly mode. Did I do something wrong?
I hope 16 channel drum tracks are in the next update!
You need to set the synth to MPE mode too
thanks, I guess it doesnât support that from what I can tell.
Will the host port ever be able to support a usb hub? That can be pretty limiting if not, although third-party devices could possibly make up for that (at a potentially large expense). It doesnât seem like usb hubs are a hardware limitation, especially if you already have a host port.
Thanks Squarp, you rock.
Iâm not the target audience for this release. But i appreciate it nonetheless.
If you feel let down, think that this update makes the Hapax even more unique on the market.
More income, more dev, more Hapax future updates.
Sit tight and relax
(@squarp : we want drum refacto, haha 
)
anyone try the Virtual cables? Whatâs the use case on these?
working like a charm. When you want to use more VST than 16 (per project).
I think you need to appreciate Squarp are a small team working very hard developing multiple products. This wasnât meant to be a massive firmware update that calls for a bunch of new features, but they have still managed to give us some very significant updates and bug fixes that make Hapax way more versatile and fun IMO.
What we have in this update so far will have been rigorously developed, tested and deemed ready for us users to beta test while all other feature requests/improvements are still being developed to make sure they are feasible and rock solid before releasing them to us. What use is a device with a whole bunch of new features that donât work properly?
Hi Noka,
That is very strange, as it works very well on our config, including PRESSURE/TIMBRE/PB per note.
Please give it another go, double check that Local control is OFF on the Osmose and that the channels are properly set.
If you still having issues, you can contact us directly and weâll investigate together to figure it out.
I didnât find about virtual cables as well on the machine and now not on the manual.
But what is it ? Internal cabling for sidechain effects ? or for DAW ?
The visual selection of destinations is cool by the way
Firstly, I would like to clarify, that what I wrote here is simply my personal opinion which I feel free to have.
Regarding your answer, I wasnât referring about the size or the rate of updates, but simply about how very few of the many user requested features from this forum have actually been implemented.
I do appreciate the level of refinement and the quality of their products and that is why I bought the Hapax the first week after release after owned a pyramid for a few years.
Liking something doesnât mean I cannot talk about the things I personally believe that could be improved.
I am not going to criticise anyone on here, and my intention is not to rile anyone.
But just want to say that Squarp have always been great, the Hapax is the most comprehensive sequencer out there, even if it doesnât do everything Iâd like, it does more things I love than anything out there. What a great bit of hardware. These software updates are great, too, even if not every new feature or bug fix is what everyone wants.
(you know, Iâve even had one or two of my suggestions added, but imagine how big their backlog must be!)
My personal opinion is that it canât be nice for them to put out an update for everyone and then loads of people moan publically that itâs not good enough or theyâre doing it wrong. Itâs their product, after all, they get to make the decisions.
(and here is your reminder not to buy things for features it doesnât currently have - especially if theyâre not even announced)
But anyway. As someone said above, Hapax is near perfect, which is amazing, considering how many things I own that are no where near that.
Cheers guys
No it is just to add extra midi ports to your PC or other device that supports that (like Push 3 SA, MPC/Force, etc)
Hello,
Ppl using the current beta firmware:
Do you know how I can set it so that only the active channel accepts and passes through midi? I need to output both MPE and single channel mode midi from the same controller (Linnstrument, ofc using MPE mode for MPE, and single channel mode for non-MPE instruments) to different instruments.
Previously having the ALL ACTIVE input selected on MPE channels and setting ACTIVE TRACK PORT and ACTIVE TRACK CHAN to channel 1 worked. Now the ALL ACTIVE input setting is gone.
I have been loving the update for the most part, but I was wondering if we could get some kind of Midi channel rotation for the MPE mode.
Currently, the Hapax always uses the lowest channel number that is available. This works well in most cases, but it causes issues in some synths/sounds. It would be nice to have a setting (or the default tbh) where the sent note uses the least recently used channel instead of the lowest channel number.
For example, the Erica Synths Steampipe has 8 voices, and is configured to use one voice per midi channel. If I play a quarter note sequence from the Hapax to a long decay patch, the new note will cut off the old note. If the channels rotated through all available channels, then it would fix the voice allocation compatibility issue.
This also affects most other MPE synths as well for longer release sounds and pitch bend messages. If I do a quarter note with a 1 second release, and then play a second note and pitch bend it, many synths would also pitch bend the released note because they originated from the same midi channel.
The Linnstrument has this ârotatingâ behavior already, and it is so useful! I have attached a picture of its midi output to the Hapax. I believe it works by when a note off message is sent, that channel is sent to the back of a queue to be used after all of the others available channels have been used (this way it works well with sustained chords mixed with shorter notes).
I believe I have experienced the same with longer decaying notes, but I havenât debugged it at all! N1
I believe what could solve my issue is to have the ACTIVE TRACK CHAN set to ALL (MPE). But currently there is a bug(?) where no pitch bend gets forwarded to output (channel 1 PB or MPE channel PB)
Huge thanks for the active firmware development!
The standard in the industry seems to be minimal updates, if youâre lucky, only addressing critical bugs. Squarp is head and shoulders above the rest, unlocking new potential with each update.
