Squarp's Flagship, Successor to the Pyramid
Designed in France by Squarp Instruments, Hapax stands as the brand's high-end hardware sequencer, extending the powerful and ergonomic spirit of the Pyramid while pushing boundaries: dual ARM processors, dual OLED screens, and a workflow crafted for both stage and modern studio.
Who Is It For? From Hybrid Live to Modular Studio
Hapax targets producers and performers looking to control vintage synths, Eurorack modules, and DAWs alike. Ideal for electro, techno, ambient, synthwave, pop, or soundtrack music, it excels in live sets (patterns, sections, song mode) as well as detailed composition thanks to its Live/Step modes and advanced management of polyrhythms and polymeters.
