Hermod+ (Plus) Review - First Impressions
Переглядів 4,8 тис.Рік тому
After buying the Hermod about a month ago, I discovered that Squarp Instruments was releasing the Hermod . I was not sure if it was worth upgrading, but I decided to purchase the Hemord anyways. This video captures my first impressions of the Hermod and provides my opinion on whether it is worth the upgrade. Spoiler Alert, it is. *TIMELINE:* 00:00 Start 00:14 Racking 00:58 First Impressions 04:...

    Hi, I've just seen your video, thanks 👍 I've just bought the Pamela and I'd like to know how you synchronise the 2 modules together. I put the Hermod +: Sync Input 1/96 = 24 ppqn and the PAM on 24 ppqn which works very well the clock follows but I can't get the Play for the PAM play (the only thing I did was connect the Hermod's reset to the Pam's Run and select Reset in the latter's options but I'd like to know how you do it. Thanks in advance

    Thanks to this video, I went from interested to VERY interested, and pulled the trigger on a Hermod+ last night! Can't wait for it to show up so I can get it racked and dive in - this will be the most powerful sequencer I've ever used outside of a DAW.

    Nice one. Thanks for theses demos. I have just purchased one of the back of watching your videos. Good work and can’t wait to hook mine up and create some visual audio delights as I’ll be using it synced to my main set up but using cv to control parameters on the sleepy circuits hypno for live use and rhythm track controlling drum machines whilst triggering led lights on the soma labs illuminator. I got some wok to do but can’t wait to sink my teeth into it. Keep up the good work dude.

    This is great!!! Thanks for making it! I think your talking is so smooth! You should listen to what I end up having to chop up when I record stuff haha. For real though, such a powerful and controllable brain for eurorack! It squishes so many ideas into one package with really consistent UI! I love that you can mute tracks, effects, etc independently! Once you had something set up on it you’d be good for a whole set easy! Squarp has some great stuff! And again great video!

      @@joshk2181 I haven't yet received my Hermod+, but I believe the Modulation track is very similar to the Curve track. Here's the expert from the online manual: 1 VOICE ► MODULATION This layout is used to create mod tracks. CV will output a modulation signal, Gate will output an additional gate. Use it to control CV modulation inputs, like a filter cutoff frequency.

    • @TheGreye
      @TheGreye Рік тому

      There are similarities between the two and I have both in my case. The biggest differences to me are the hp real estate (Hermod+ = 26hp and Black Sequencer = 42hp), the number of tracks, and the immediacy. The Hermod+ wins the first 2, but the Black Sequencer wins (in my opinion) the last one. Being able to see and edit 16 steps at a time with the Black Sequencer is fantastic, especially with the magic function. I originally purchased the Hermod (the OG) to expand midi connectivity into my case with little to no intention of using the available features. With the improvements of the Hermod+, that may change. Let me know if you have specific questions about the differences. Also, I am planning to do a video in the next couple of weeks comparing the two and highlighting the features that sets each sequencer apart from the other.

      @@TheGreye I'm currently looking to pick up either a Hermod+ or a Black Sequencer, so I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the two. The immediacy of the Black seems like a huge boon, but the MIDI capabilities and HP size of the Hermod+ really have me second guessing going with the Black. I don't have a lot of midi equipment yet, but could see myself picking up more. I subbed so I know when you drop that video.

    I just got my Hermod+ a couple days ago, and at first I struggled with it a bit as I was used to working with a couple other sequencers, but now that I got a handle on it it really is pretty powerful and I am seeing a lot of potential in what I can do with it.For anyone else there is a learning curve but totally worth it once you get it. The 8 tracks plus midi is what really sold me on this one. Plus it is more performance orientated than what I was using before which I like. One thing you didn't go into which is also very powerful is the recording of external CV in for use as a modulation track and then editable, cool stuff.

    • @TheGreye

      I have not played with any "record in" feature yet, either note or CV, but I am looking forward to trying those features out. Getting hands on with the Hermod+ definitely changed my thoughts around how I might use the module in my writing process, it is just so nice to work with.

      @@TheGreye I posted this on the Squarp forum but I will add it here as well for something to try So on a notes track I recorded 1 single Midi note (A4) and added the following effects to the track. Harmo, Random, Scale and Arpeggiater. (each tweaked a little bit). In a single bar I had a very melodic sequence that was ever evolving and very musical, all from inputting a single midi note. Very Cool.
