The Squarp Instruments Hapax is a versatile hardware sequencer designed to meet the demanding needs of live performers and studio producers. Its extensive range of interfaces allows it to process and transmit both MIDI data and CV control voltages, making it an indispensable hub in any DAW-less setup. A true pioneer, the Hapax fully supports MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), a first among hardware sequencers.

The two generous OLED displays ensure excellent clarity and contribute significantly to an efficient workflow that is also quick and intuitive to learn. or with MIDI/USB tone generators or control voltages, the Hapax sequencer seamlessly combines different elements and ensures reliable synchronization of a wide variety of setups. This gives the user the freedom to concentrate fully on creativity and performance.

The device's 128 RGB pads are not only a visual highlight, but also offer comprehensive control for dynamic performances.

It is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to realize their musical vision without limitations.

Connections from future to retro

Hapax is equipped with all the connections that a primarily "dawless setup" requires. On the MIDI side, there are three assignable outputs with a DIN socket and one output with a TRS connection. The MIDI inputs are represented by one DIN and one TRS socket. TRS is always useful if the other instrument or module, such as eg. Rample also has a TRS connection, which saves the MIDI-TRS adapter. Those who prefer to work with a Eurorack modular system and synthesizers from the pre-MIDI era will get their money's worth with four freely assignable CV/Gate outputs and two CV inputs. The footswitch input allows Hapax to be started remotely when a footswitch is connected. Modern interfaces are also implemented in this sequencer: USB to Host enables the connection of a controller or master keyboard, USB to Device is intended for controlling a VST instrument in the computer, among other things.
