Hermod+ Creating a Track

Nice demo. Thanks!

[@herzaincarmona4810]

I’ve been eyeing this sequencer and this video helps a lot, thank you. Subscribed.

Finally a full Hermod+ demo video, Squarp should put it on their site! Thank you for making it. The sequencer looks great, can't believe you can have 256 step patterns and I love the big 16 pad matrix too. This will be my next sequencer!

[@TheGreye]

I don't think you will be disappointed.

[@jimwargowski5963]

Thanks for this - I just picked mine up yesterday and fumbled through and picked up most of this pretty intuitively before watching this- which says alot for the ease of operation of this pretty powerful unit.

[@irondragonrides]

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.

[@irondragonrides]

@@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.

[@impurfekt]

This is a really great demo. Thanks for putting it together!

[@TerekkiTerekki]

Great presentation, good pace

[@briankokernak2804]

Thanks for making this - it was helpful to understand the workflows.

[@TheGreye]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@rayderrich]

Very interesting video, you explained it well for a newbie like myself. Thanks!

[@joshk2181]

This is excellent. Cute and informative. Good pacing and not too much faffing around. I hope you do more module demos, subbed.

[@TheGreye]

Thanks! I am working on the next video, either "Hermod+ vs Black Sequencer" or "Moog DFAM vs Noise Engineering Manis". Unfortunately my job expects me to actually work. Hopefully will have a new video out in the next week or so.

[@heiner_kruse]

I like the video since its focussing on making music. Thanks!

[@turbotambourine]

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!

[@TheGreye]

Thank you! Agree that the Hermod+ is very powerful and I have not even started playing with triggering different sequences or recording in to Hermod+.

[@fancysandwiches]

I'm curious to see what it looks like to edit more than a 16 note sequence on the Hermod+. How do you page through all of the steps?

[@donjuan9044]

one question regarding the effects. there is an envelope effect, does that mean you can chain eg. the euklid effect and afterwards an envelope so that you have an adsr for the generated pattern ?

[@Perceptes]

How is velocity used since there's only one CV out for each track?

[@motoboy6666]

Does step+Y and step+X still work for quickly create random sequence and clear sequence? EDIT: Yes it does

[@TheVoltar100]

does it duplicate Erica Sinth's Black Sequencer?

[@yongamusic]

Why would it? How could it?

[@TheGreye]

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.

[@TheVoltar100]

@@TheGreye Thank you very much for your answer and I look forward to your comparison between the two modules. I'm a fan of Tangerine Dream with their intricate arpeggios.

[@fancysandwiches]

@@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.

[@Delayeed9]

​@@fancysandwichesIm in the same boat. I thought of going with black sequencer first but seeing how this one is just laid out seems a lot less cluttery and simple but idk.

[@Delayeed9]

this or the black sequencer for workflow?
