Anyone would like to test this on his/her unit? Would be greatly appreciated!
A motherheckinā tracking code. Been waiting since May for it.
just got my duty notice from DHL woo hoo. currently $44 in California, FYI
Wonder which is more immediate, jam friendly. Hapax or Oxi One.
Hapax looks more like the deeper song creation tool
Is it for the june or september batch ?
Hapax is deeper for sure but it seems to be pretty immediate too with its FX and algos. You can jam pretty quickly too IMHO
i was June, with one of the units just waiting on the replacement faceplates.
Itās rare like I like knob swaps but this looks very clean
Its a tough call still for me. The Hapax looks like the center of the studio while the Oxi looks like it can play that role or may be better at being the thing you grab when you need chords, arps, melodiesā¦etc. I mean you can do that on both, but if I owned a Hapax I feel like I would not be using it enough, since I mainly use a sampler for 80% of my tracks.
16 tracks (32 if you donāt need the dual project architecture) for Hapax versus half that on Oxi alone makes it an easy call for me. Sequencing MPC One externally for any sampling I use, Pyramid handled it across multiple tracks with ease so Iām not worried about replacing it with Hapax
Well yeah but like I said I probably will use it for 4-6 tracks at most. So a different use case.
Oxi has a lot more tracks than that - it has Multitrack mode which features eight tracks per sequencer - so 32 tracks spread across the four sequencers. And each step of a track can address a different MIDI channel. Itās pretty bonkers.
nice reviews indeed, but the name and mask are so ridiculous. Why on earth?
monophonic tracks, as i understand it. not really 8/32 tracks with full polyphony
Exactly! Iāve read that argument several times on here for the Oxiā¦but as you point out, those are monotracks, not the same at all. If you look at it that way, youād have 256 tracks on the Hapaxā¦
I just got my delivery notification for the Hapax and am super excited. I probably will buy an Oxi down the road as well, even just for the portability and bluetooth connectivity (ipad + oxi should be a great travel setup).
Super excited about the Hapax though and I think its polyphonic track count, midi FX, button layout and UI make it the perfect studio centre for me. Itās basically the sequencer Iāve dreamed of and never thought anyone would actually make.
Ah, I misunderstood. If youāre looking for that much polyphony at once then the Hapax may well be your solution. I tend to only have one polyphonic track at most in a song and I sample a lot, so often a single note will be triggering a chord on a sampler.
What are you all doing for the metronome? Trying to figure out a good configuration.
I know thereās the option to send metronome data over midi but when you send it to a mono synth that whole thing is just weird. I tried just putting a click noise in a track on ableton and sequencing quarter notes but that also seems annoying time and time again. Of course thereās the CV route but I currently donāt have a cable long enough to reach the patch bay, I could buy one but then Iām also using up a CV slot.
I could just slave the Hapax to Ableton which might be the easiest thing. I also considered getting a really cheap speaker and just temporarily plugging it into the cv jack.
