Supplier's Notes:
Professional standalone sequencer

Genuine centerpiece of a setup, it offers every tool needed to compose songs in the studio and perform them on stage. From vintage to modern synths, from modular systems to your favourite DAW, Hapax can sequence and synchronize all your gear, while bringing you carefully crafted tools, designed for maximizing creativity.

The midi powerhouse.

Up to a million notes and events

16 tracks per project, 8 patterns per track.

Thanks to its dual-processor architecture, Hapax can record and transform tremendous amounts of data in no time, without a hitch.

Express yourself.

MPE compatibility

Hapax is the first hardware sequencer that fully supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Record the finest gestures, slides and articulations of your playing, without compromising quality.

Around the clock performance.
Dual-project architecture



Hapax can handle two separate and independent projects, that can be played simultaneously. This lets you compose or load an entire project while the first one is already playing, enabling endless sets and seamless transitions.

Dawless is more.

Hapax offers broad connectivity options for perfect integration in any setup.

Adaptive workflow.
Several ways to write music
Writing a melody: use a polyphonic or MPE track and take advantage of the advanced step sequencer to quickly lay down notes or edit your live recording.

Composing a beat: control up to 8 different instruments with a single track. The drum sequencer is tailored for very easy rhythm writing and jamming.

Real-time midi effects.

Bring your synths to life

Hapax embeds multiple real-time, polyphonic, non-destructive midi effects, as well as project-wide assignable LFOs. Each parameter of these effects can be automated in the dedicated mode, and processed in the mod matrix, which provides even more ways of routing and modulating.

Powerful composition tools.

Algorithms

Powerful tools for offline note transformation and generation, right at your fingertips. Harmonically invert your motive, generate a controlled-random counter-melody, slowly ramp up the velocities, emphasize every fifth 8th note...

Hi-res recording

Hit the red button, and record from the encoders and 128 pads of Hapax, external midi instruments (included MPE controllers) or any incoming analogue signal, at a high resolution of 192 ppqn. Looper style recording, count-down and metronome options, punch-in mode, you'll certainly find the options that best suit your workflow.

Time elasticity

Each track has an elasticity value which changes its playback speed, expressed in percentage of BPM. Quickly double or halve the speed of a track, or create slightly shifted tracks that will slowly drift out of phase with each other.

Fluid editing

Using hardware should never get in the way of creative flow. The undo/redo button lets you go back in time as needed, thanks to its extensive history. Additionally, the snapshot function enables you to save the state of a pattern and recall it with a single press. Together with dedicated copy, paste and delete buttons, Hapax offers a complete toolbox for the prompt editing of your tracks.

Harmony, simplified

For fast and intuitive chord building, the chord live mode brings harmonic capabilities to anyone, with or without deep theoretical knowledge. With its colourful interface, the chord mode displays a synesthetic melding of hearing, vision and touch.

Simple by design.

Trimmed to perfection

Squarp designed Hapax from the ground up, deconstructing everything you thought you knew about sequencing- aiming for a high-end product, with dual arm processors for computation power and a rugged yet minimalist housing.

As music-making should remain an enjoyable process, dedicated buttons were over key combinations and imagined a clear-cut interface as well as a simple architecture. Squarp have striven to minimize the importance of screens for live performing, but the dual grayscale display helps keeping track of things in a studio context.

*** Version 2.0 updates - January 2024 ***

In this version, Squarp have put a lot of effort into improving the ergonomics and screen designs.

As for features, the focus has been on expanding patterns from 8 to 16 per track. Follow-actions have been introduced to bring more life to your sections, adding logic and randomness to the construction of your tracks.

A new MixMute mode has been created to enhance live performances, improve transitions between projects and arm your tracks for multitrack recording.

Now you can engage in multi-track recording and capture on multiple tracks simultaneously.

Two new effects are making their debut as well: FX ECHO, the best delay Squarp have made so far, and FX OUTPUT, allowing rerouting to a different output in the middle of the effect chain.

You can now Import/ExportMIDI files, either to save and reuse your own patterns in different projects or to load complex MIDI files from a computer.

The Curve algorithm is now accessible in automation mode, Squarp have added a track compensation mechanism and Auto-load.

Latest version of Squarp's excellent Pyramid sequencer. Proper creative business to break away from computers and get the most out of your synths and modules. Definitely one of our favourite sequencers on the market.

Supplier's notes:
Modern, easy-to-use & versatile hardware sequencer.

Pyramid provides you with a radical new workflow and almost unlimited possibilities.

It will become your ultimate studio centerpiece.

Pyramid is designed to be the perfect brain for your musical setup, from studio to stage. It brings together a powerful sequencer, a looper, a rhythm generator, a real-time effect processor, a midi controller and an input+output interface.

Pyramid does not produce sounds. Instead, we have focused our energies on creating an innovative and complete sequencing solution full of creative tools.

Pyramid is an instant source of inspiration to start, finish & perform your song!

With Pyramid's high precision clock, the sequencer becomes a great synchronisation tool for both vintage and recent devices. Your instruments will always keep in time: Pyramid is the heartbeat of your studio.

You can also use Pyramid sequencer as a rock-solid interface box for your MIDI, USB MIDI & CV/GATE setup:

filter note/clock/start stop/cc/pitch/aftertouch messages

route MIDI in to USB MIDI out

convert MIDI in to CV/GATE output and add effects

convert CV/GATE in to MIDI out

convert MIDI IN clock to DIN SYNC

Even if you use a DAW as your primary sequencer, Pyramid will become an indispensable Swiss knife!

Record a performance at any time with the built-in keyboard, the smartpads (generates chords, scales or repeats), the touchpad, the 5 encoders or an external controller... with true polyphony and high precision!

You can even use the midi looper mode, in the style of audio looper pedals. Live improvisation recording has never been so easy!

Create and arrange complex rhythms and melodies with the full realtime step sequencer, or edit your live recording.

The piano roll view clarifies notes and drums programming. Change the pitch, the velocity, the width and the offset of each note, in a flash. Zoom in (up to 1600%) to surgically edit the track. As Pyramid is fully polyphonic, a step can contain an unlimited number of notes!

Create CC or FX automation with the touchpad or with the 16 pads.

Create an infinite number of automation per track! Slide the touchpad to draw the automation, or use the 16 pads to edit or add step-lock parameters.

Pyramid offers one algorithmic euclidean sequencer engine per track, auto generating uncommon and rich rhythmic patterns. Almost all traditional rhythms from across the world can be generated with this tool.

Change the number of total steps, the number of filled steps, the step width, rotate the pattern, all of this on the fly. The displayed euclidean circle helps you to visualize the pattern.

Once your tracks are created, Pyramid offers several ways to play with your sequences: mute/unmute your 64 tracks on the fly, launch sequences (group of tracks), or chain sequences to create a complete, structured song.

You can choose to perform your tracks and sequences in sync (1 bar, 2 bars, ...) or not. It's even possible to play in sync with one beat resolution, a new way to improvise with sequences!

Pyramid includes 5 clickable encoders and a wide touchpad.

You can easily assign any of these controls to an effect parameter or a midi CC message by pressing the "assign" button, and recording the automation. Even the two CV analog inputs can be assigned - it's up to your imagination!
