Squarp Hermod
Squarp's Hermod is an all-in-one sequencing solution based on their groundbreaking Pyramid sequencer, this time bringing extensive control options directly to Eurorack format. The Hermod offers eight simultaneous tracks which can be configured to various degrees of independence: each track can be a single voice of CV and gate outputs, or multiple tracks can be joined together to bring controls like velocity and aftertouch CV to the surface.
Hermod can be programmed in any number of ways: sequences can be generated from incoming MIDI (over DIN or USB) or from incoming CV, making it possible to capture complex sequences and modulations from basically any workflow. Additionally, Hermod offers a ton of onboard MIDI effects (such as ratchet, chance, and more)—making it simple to transform tracks in real time.
Like the Pyramid before it, the Hermod seeks out to provide an expansive, creative toolset for creating, capturing, and modifying sequences—and again, like the Pyramid before it, it succeeds.
Hermod Features

- Can record sequence data from CV inputs, USB Host port, USB Device port, or MIDI input
- Step edit mode with traditional piano roll/automation view
- Pattern randomization
- Each track can feature different lengths (up to 64 steps each)
- Dynamic control effects include Quantization, Swing, Arpeggiator, Ratchet, Chance, and more—all applicable in realtime and stackable
- Eurorack module
- Width: 26hp
- Depth: 30mm
- Current draw: 310mA @ +12V, 20mA @ -12V
The synth line is made with a Malekko Manther Growl run through Qu-Bit's Prism. The Manter Growl is the synth voice from the Manther as a eurorack module with added CV controls and outputs for each waveform. The Prism is a stereo processor that combines comb filter, decimating and filtering effects into one with a freeze option built into the delay of the comb filter.
The kick drum is from Befaco's Kickall, snare is Intellijel's Plonk and hats are from WMD's Fracture. Everything is mixed together with Warm Star's Fragment.
