Is that one of those Korg mixers on the side ![]()
Ace! Mind if I ask how you use the Akai samplers with the Hapax? Do you use SCSI to manage/load samples? If so how do you get that to work with a modern computer (if that’s what you use)?
I’m seriously considering an Akai sampler or Roland VP-9000 to go with my Hapax but am still trying to get my head around how easy it’ll be with the whole SCSI thing…
Thanks in advance ![]()
Tight lil setup, is that the Feedback CR mixer?
sho is. i love it but the pots are crackly it still makes stuff more ‘live’
Since this topic’s been dead for a year or so, I thought I’d resurrect it. No modulars, no niche stuff, just a vulgar (48 tracks + MPC) display of multitimbrality. In case you’re wondering, MPC is used as a sampler only (plus soft synth/fx on occasion).
This is my home “studio”
The Hapax is sequencing:
- MPC One+ (mostly drums only, sometimes a synth)
- Oberheim TEO-5
- Roland SE-02
- Behringer Monopoly
- Behringer Pro VS mini
- Behringer Crave (hidden behind the Hapax)
- Behringer VC340
With this setup I make some kind of synthwave.
Here is a song with all the gear in action: Youtube
This is my live setup just before a short performance, Hapax is so good for playing live. I can just have ideas sequenced across a few projects and then just fill in the rest with stuff from other sequencers (like steppy with mimetic) in the rack.
Really love Hapax!
Hapax as a 100% pure DAW controller. My advice: Use Bitwig… fast, reliable, flexible, easy mappings to Hapax.
bitwig is insane. i love reaper and have no troubles using it for routing and mixing my hardware with pdc. the demo is fully functional. oh and its $75. i love defining actions and assigning to key/controller input!
Super clean looking!
hell yes, killer setup
If I were to rebuild my studio from scratch right now I’d most likely go for something like this tbh
Thanks! Yeah, everything goes through the Hapax. My Erae Touch II is the main controller, which speaks to the Hapax and sends MPE MIDI to my iPad, Polybrute 12, and Hydrasynth. Regular MIDI is sent to Minilogue XD, Opsix, Wavestate. 4 channels of CV/gate go to the modular, and 4 more channels go into the FH-2. Project B is dedicated to 12 tracks of the Syntakt so I can create polyrhythms by using Poly tracks for each (hopefully independent drum lane length will be implemented soon so I don’t need to use all of Project B for Syntakt). Syntakt goes through the Octatrack for FX and re-sampling. The Minilab 3 is the other controller that goes into the Hapax in case I want regular keyboard control. Everything is routed into the MioXL and the Midronome drives the clock. Very happy with this setup!
