Squarp Instruments Hermod+

Squarp Instruments Hermod+ is a completely redesigned 16-track sequencer and CV/MIDI interface for Eurorack systems, built to serve as the intelligent brain of any modular setup. Drawing direct inspiration from the flagship Hapax sequencer, Hermod+ features a wide OLED display (58x16 mm), a grid-based step sequencer with dedicated track buttons, and an advanced polyphonic piano roll with row-by-row editing, dramatically streamlining the creative workflow. With an improved recording resolution of 96ppqn, all CV/Gate and MIDI recordings play back seamlessly and precisely without any note shifting.

The power of the Hermod+ lies in its unrivaled connectivity: 8 pairs of 16-bit CV/Gate outputs, 4 CV inputs, dedicated Clock and Reset ports, MIDI In/Out (TRS 3.5 mm), and dual USB ports (Host and Device). Each of the 16 tracks features 16 independent patterns and a rack of up to 8 effects (arpeggiator, delay, LFO, envelope, randomizer, swing, scales), while a built-in 4-slot modulation matrix opens unlimited creative possibilities. Support for V/octave (Eurorack), 1.2V/octave (Buchla), and Hz/V standards ensures full compatibility with synthesizers of any era. Full compatibility with the xp32 expander allows Hermod+ to be extended with an additional 32 CV/Gate outputs.
