Not yet, I (feature) requested it, and it seems to be on the roadmap.

Instrument definitions work now?

#1135

theyā€™ve always worked from launch, afaik (more are getting posted on the Squarp forums as more units go out into the world and people get their hands on them)

#1136

Yes, they work great. It came with the v1.10 update in July

#1137

Nah they didnā€™t exist at launch but very soon after. Itā€™s definitely been months.

I have at this point submitted 3 definitions myself.

Iā€™m considering tackling the S2400 but I would need multiple definitions based on the way the S2400 handles tracks with itā€™s different track types and it may not be worth itā€¦ like, at that point itā€™s probably better to just use a digitakt or an Octatrack lol.

Actually I think my Hapax crashes pretty reliably after some time when using instrument defs. Squarp confirmed they found something iffy and it will be fixed in the next release, though :v:

Does anyone have a stand they like for the hapax?

#1141

Iā€™d been holding off on the Hapax until it turned up in UK shops but Iā€™m getting the impression this is not likely to happen any time soon. Could anyone UK-based who bought a Hapax tell me how much it ended up costing with duties/tax etc? Iā€™ve been pretty cautious about big purchases from the EU after a couple of nasty experiences with the additional customs stuff post-Brexit.

Hi,
From Squarp forum, it will be Ā£150 or Ā£175 for customs and VAT charges

Hi, cost me Ā£170 for import charges, and that was before Squarp increased the cost of the Hapax.

Same for me

#1145

I use a desktop mounted monitor stand which works perfectly. I tried an under-desk keyboard tray, but it wasnā€™t deep enough for accessing all of the Hapax controls.

Wow, you are not messing around when it comes to stands and mounts! Looks like a really fun place to create. So curious to see just to the left and whatā€™s going on between your monitors.

Thanks. Lots of options for creativity, sometimes too many :slight_smile:
Nothing much interesting to the left but a pair of screens and empty desk spaceā€¦ā€¦and some trippy curtains :wink:

Itā€™s also got a line in so can be used as a handy alternative reference monitor :nerd_face:

Thanks for the info everyone, just put my order in, fingers crossed I get it in November. Between this and the Assimil8or I might finally be putting the Octatrack back in its box. We had a good run :cry:
