I recently made the switch from Oxi One to Hapax. In almost every way I’m happy with my choice - I really appreciate the logical / layered approach to features and UI favored by the Hapax. There are just a couple of areas that I’m not so much disappointed with, but which feel like they offer potential for improvement with (maybe?) smallish changes.
Chords. I liked the Oxi’s chord mode and I like the Hapax mode too. I appreciate the way you can build chords up and augment them with extra qualities. What I do really miss though is the ability to build up a little bank of my favorite chords. This was a great feature on Oxi and feels like an omission on Hapax. …I know there has been a fair bit of discussion and feature requests related to this, but I just wanted to add: for my taste I would really like to be able to build up that favorites set on the chord page, but even more I would love for them to be accessible within the step view. Since (depending on pScale choice?) there are often empty rows on the step page, it feels like having the option to dedicate the top row of the pads to a chords bank would fit well with the UX? It would be great if (within the step view) you could just hold down a favorite and then tap a column to place it (and have that automatically replace any other notes in that column). I’ve realized that its easy to link up something like Scaler on my PC with the Hapax so that’s another reason I’d especially value those favorite pads
Per track BPM. I love the elasticity feature but I would really like to be able to slow down tracks a lot more than 50%. This would be especially of value for the transpose track where I’d like to be placing one note per transposition change and then modify that tracks elasticity to explore timings.
My apologies if (as a noob) I’ve missed features that would further address either of the above (or any other threads more fully discussing them). I just thought they’d be worth mentioning as the two top things I’d love to see addressed in a future update (and beyond those, even more MIDI effects - they’re awesome!). Thanks!
