Yeah, this one looks interesting. There don’t seem to be any demos out there, apart from the obligatory trade show run downs… also, not as many cv / gate outputs as I would have liked. There is a manual available now though, so I’ll have a skim through that.

Hi Jukka,
I can’t find any info on this.
Could you please send me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Kind regards, Sander

Thank you, that really helped me. Is the Pyramid Display any larger/better?

Yes much bigger and easier to read/use.
I really like the Pyramid, if I didn’t have the Seq I’d buy another…

I like it! it can be portable and powerful!The screen is OK for me and the connections with their routing flexibility are clever. Unfortunately the USB host doesn’t send and receive midi from high performance (?) USB units. For example my d-05 doesn’t connect via USB except for powering.
The Hermod has caught my attention of late , because of the price, connectivity and sequencing options but I have concerns re the screen size and it’s ability to be used live .
I guess you can hook up controllers though to send CC’ s so in theory it can be overcome , right?
Any users out there who have it either in the studio or have used it live ?
Thanks
I like mine…
for sure the screen size/encoder are a compromise to have a compact (26hp) unit in Eurorack.
I use it most for midi 2 cv & cv 2midi , and also the fx.
its also good for recording loops, and I think programming simple sequences.
I do not think I would want to manually program in lots of steps - if you wanted to do that, you’d want it in a case close to you - to make it comfortable.
for programming sequences - I tend to use the Pyramid or Octatrack , and then use Hermod for midi2cv - since these sit nicely on the desktop.
I think the key to the Hermod is this concept of doing a few different things - rather than just being a sequencer.
yeah it integrates well with midi, its quite ‘midi focused’ for a eurorack sequencer.
have a look at the squarp forum, theres a ton of posts about the hermod - so you can see what people not only like, but also find difficult for thier needs.

I’m interested in this bad boy.
I too worry about the screen. I don’t intend to program a lot; I like playing my sequences. Is it always necessary to have to look at the screen when recording one’s keyboard playing? Or is it a simple button hit? How is real-time recording of midi keyboard playing? The OT drives me absolutely nuts with this, especially the abysmal polyphonic note capture.
One can send multiple CCs to one midi track, right? And one can route cv ins to modulate those CCs? I took a quick gander at the manual and that seemed to be the case…
a bit late but one bar can have 64 steps of precision and it handles polyphony just fine. Plug a MIDI cable into it and record away! The screen is not a problem for me but I use mostly FXs or record sequences live into it or generate random sequences and put a scale FX to quantize. I will enter notes (instead of gates so that I can use the velocity to set a percentage of probability via the Chance FX) directly for drum sequences(when I don’t use the Euclidean FX). the zoom x3 makes it easy to create triplets too. I also like to extend my Elektron boxes with it (swing PER track, Euclidean FX, arpeggiator, chaining LFOs…).
You can modulate the FX values via the CV in, record CV too(use your keyboard wheel to record modulation and loop them as an LFO…).
