Squarp - Hermod

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.

Other:

● CPU: 216MHz ARM
● DAC (CV outputs) resolution: 16-bit (= 0,15mV precision!)
● ADC (CV inputs) resolution: 12-bit
