So many great additions to this update - but this one for me is the killer addition. Iā€™ve been bugging Squarp about this for at least a year - in fact this solution borrows some of the suggestions I made for how to incorporate this into the UI.

This finally releases the full potential of the Mod Matrix. Yes!!

To put that in perspective - you can modulate (with precision) 32 effect (like Euclid Steps / Probability / LFO speed / Transpose / etc.) parameters from just 4 modulation inputs. Wows.

This is so awesome :heart_eyes:

Has anyone been using Hermod to send midi data from a linux machine, or know if the USB device is class-compliant? Their homepage says that they support all available OSā€™es but then specify those to be Windows and MacOSā€¦

Been looking at the Hermod for a while now, and it looks like exactly what I need for sequencing, however I only have linux-based machines so no point in getting one if it wonā€™t work, or if I canā€™t get it to work myself.

#101

Good question, never tried itā€¦

So I tried it just now, and it works just like that. I opened renoise, selected ā€œHermod MIDI 1ā€ as midi output, typed notes on the laptop keyboard, and hermod reacted as expected.

Just a quick test, so more hardcore use might reveal problems (but the squarp team seems to be very keen on making the hermod work with the quirkiest of hardware), but Iā€™d say it seems like it just worksā€¦

It probably doesnā€™t matter in this day and age, but Iā€™m running debian stableā€¦

Those are some great news! Thanks so much for trying it out, might snag a used one thats for sale in my area asap :slight_smile:. Canā€™t wait to explore it further!

It works sending and receiving data to and from my norns (which is linux) as well. I use it for that extensively and have never encountered problems

Is it possible to use trigger sequencer with Hermod to step through sequence of a track for example. Or to start stop playback?

#105

Yep, you can do both of those things. See there ā€œCV Transportā€ section here for details of the transport stuff you can control with the CV inputs: Hermod Settings

#106

Does anyone know a way to improve the CV IN pitch quantization? If Iā€™m sending alternating 0V 1V segments (from a Marbles with Steps full CW), the quantizer often latches on to the wrong pitch (typically a semitone sharp or flat). I have this problem with other sources and other quantizers, but e.g. the Ornament & Crime has a ā€œtrigger delayā€ option to counteract this, where it waits a few hundred microseconds to quantize as it knows incoming pitch CVs can take a brief moment to settle on the correct voltage.

#107

Try the Quantize Note (Gate) in Settings. This will sample and hold the incoming CV based on a gate. Assuming the Gate is sent at the same time as the CV then it should work. I agree though - an ability to delay the sampling would help. Iā€™ve found emailing Squarp via their website with suggestions can produce fixes in future firmware updates. Theyā€™re very active.

Oh sorryā€¦ to clarify, thatā€™s already the setting Iā€™m using. Iā€™ve posted this question on their forum as well but gotten no response. Iā€™ll email them directly, good idea :+1:

As someone who frequently uses CV record without any issues, Iā€™m curious to know what was broken and what the firmware update does. Unfortunately, visiting the OS page, there are no further details.

#111

Ahhhhhh I was so confused about this one! I couldnā€™t figure out why it kept going forward no matter which way I turned the knob. Very nice!

Also - does Squarp send email updates, or do you just need to remember to check their website?

What kind of usb cable is needed to connect norns to Hermod?

#114

Simple usb a to b works for me (like https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable-Male/dp/B00NH11KIK)

Finally got around to messing with hermod and realized how many of my modules it makes redundant. cool!

I absolutely adore it. I havenā€™t even gotten into its CV recording features, or half of the effects, but I still use it in almost every patch
