Loopop host Ziv Eliraz shared his review of the Squarp Hapax sequencer and, as always, his review is detailed, hands-on and though-provoking.

The Hapax is intended to be a professional step sequencer that can be used as the ‘brain’ of your studio or live performance rig. It can handle up to a million notes and events; has MPE compatibility; offers input and output via DIN MIDI, USB MIDI & CV/Gate; features more than 180 physical controls; supports saving and loading to SD cards and more.

If that makes you want to know more about what the Hapax can do, Eliraz has you covered. In his 45 minute video, he covers the key features of the Hapax, how you can use it with all types of gear, digs into the sequencer’s unique functionality, and shares his thoughts on the pros and cons of the device.
