Good timing for you to mention this, since just yesterday, Squarp posted a teaser on their instagram for an upcoming expander. I’m betting that this is the hapax to hermod+ adapter module. 😉 > **[Squarp Instruments on Instagram: "👀"](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd_3WW5xUoz/?stkn=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)** > > 207 likes, 41 comments - squarpinstruments on October 2, 2026: "👀". ---

Look again closely at the spinning card in the teaser. It clearly says “Hermod+ Modular Brain” during one spin, then “Squarp expander”, and finally what looks like the Hapax button grid on the last. Here are some quick screengrabs where you can see it. ![Screenshot 2026-10-03 141359](https://squarp.community/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6c494f10c66ca314ba105d3f6e2a0e135264977b.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-10-03 141923](https://squarp.community/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8260ee5d1e26027cd03dc029375b3c61806d091d.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2026-10-03 141606](https://squarp.community/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9aea54d0cf565372b5ff8486a49c12b677962c8c.jpeg) ---

So is Core the long-awaited Hapax to XP32 adapter, or is there yet another module in development? ---

Yes, this is the “adapter” module they were referring to. ---

Some questions regarding using Core with Hapax. - Is Core intended to replace Hermod+, or is there some use case where one would want to use Core with Hermod+? - For people who already own a Hermod+, is there a reason to replace it with Core, or will Hermod+ get a firmware update so it does everything Core can do? - Is midi the preferred method of connecting Hapax to Core? Can a single midi cable handle two XP32 when connected to Hapax? - When connecting Core to Hapax, is this a smart connection or does it require extensive setup configuration? ---

> Hi John, > > 1. Core can replace Hermod+, or you can use both (by syncing them together via USB). But xp32 will be connected to Core OR Hermod+. > > 2. I’m not sure that H+ will do everything core does, it’s possible, but not planned for the moment. > > 3. Prefered method is always USB (midi din/trs has a limited bandwidth) > > 4. For the moment, it requires configuration, mainly routing Hapax tracks to the correct output/channel. > > Have a nice day! > > jean [Previous page](https://squarp.community/t/xp32-cv-expander-compatibility-definitely-coming-soon/15971.md?page=1)
