Squarp Hermod – Modular Brain (Black)

8-track sequencer

The Hermod is a generously equipped sequencer module with eight tracks. Besides pitch and gate voltages, it is also possible to generate clock and modulation signals. Melodies and rhythms can be recorded in real-time or step-by-step. Several tracks can be combined for polyphonic results. A project holds up to 80000 events. Ten dynamic CV effects bring life into rigid patterns. Hermod can also be used as a bidirectional MIDI-CV interface.

Core player:

• Number of tracks: 8
• Number of sequences: 8
• Number of projects: unlimited
• Number of events (notes, automation) per project: ~80000
• Recording resolution: 24ppqn
• Tempo: 1 to 250 BPM

Tracks:

• Maximum number of notes per step (polyphony): 8
• Maximum number of effects per track: 8
• Maximum number of modMatrix destinations per track: 4
• Automation per track: 3 (modulation, pitchbend, aftertouch)
• Note pitch: C0 to B9
• Note velocity: 0 to 127
• Note width: 1/24th to 16 bars
• Track length: 1/4 bar to 16 bars (1 step to 64 steps at zoom x1)
• Zoom: x1 (1 step = 1 quarter notes) to x8 (1 step = 1/32th note)

User interface:

• 16 backlit silicon button pads
• Menu clickable encoder
• White backlit high contrast LCD screen
• 8x RGB LEDS to display the CV/GATE output voltages
• MicroSD card slot to save/load your projects and upgrade the OS in a flash (SD card included)
• Real time save/load: if Hermod is the master or is slaved, it keeps receiving and sending midi/usb/cv clocks, in order to be always perfectly synchronized.
