Studio setup

I am using this repository as an online documentation of my DAW-less (no-computer) setup.

The setup consists of several devices including:

Squarp Hapax Main sequencer and clock source
Squarp Pyramid MK3 MIDI Sequencer
Akai Pro MPC One Sampler and Sequencer
Access Virus TI2 VA Polyphonic Digital Synthesizer
Access Virus TI Polar VA Polyphonic Digital Synthesizer
Moog Subsequent 37 Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer
Behringer TD-3 Analog Bass Line Synthesizer
Roland SPX-SX Sampling Pad
Apple iPad Pro M1 Tablet computer used for step sequencing
Arturia KeyStep MIDI keyboard with step sequencing
Arturia KeyLab 61 MIDI keyboard
Tascam Model 12 Mixer with MIDI transport and multitrack recording

TD3 and SPD-SX are not connected via MIDI. I might want to send MIDI from SPD-SX in the future for recording drums.

Squarp Pyramid Definition files

Squarp Pyramid and Hapax support definition files for quickly mapping and accessing connected devices. These files, related to the current setup, can be found in the respective folders. Since Hapax is used as a main sequencer, I’ll only be updating these definition files.

Notes

In the Squarp Hapax (for all 4 MIDI Out ports) settings:

MIDI X MODE: MIDI OUT
MIDI X SYNC: SEND

In the MPC ONE:

For the MIDI clock:

Preferences > MIDI / Sync > Sync Receive - Receive: MIDI Clock
Preferences > MIDI / Sync > Sync Send - Send: MIDI Clock

Misc

Preferences > Audio Recording > Recording Bit Depth: 24
Preferences > Sequencer > Recording - Rec Arm: Multi
