Settings



Overview
To access the global settings menu, enter  track  mode and Press  Y .

The settings are organized in several submenus :
  • SYNC IN/OUT : global options regarding clock signals.
  • MIDI IN/THRU : global routing of MIDI signals.
  • CV/GATE IN : global settings related to CV/Gate inputs.
  • MISC : various internal parameters of Hermod+.
  • MONITOR : representation of incoming CV voltages.
  • REC : recording options.
  • SAVE : to store the settings into the SD card.
  • INFO : OS version and CPU/RAM usage.
 Note  Those settings are global, stored in the SD card and loaded during startup, and will be used for all projects. For your project TRACK CONFIGURATION, please refer to THIS section.
Sync input
 CLOCK SOURCE   INTERNAL   MIDI   DEVICE   HOST   CV A   CV B   CV C   CV D 
By default, Hermod+ will use its internal clock (to be the synchronisation leader). But it is possible to follow a MIDI/USB/analog incoming clock, to synchronize it with an other device.

 Tip  When using CV A to CV D, Hermod+ is synchronized in a "step advance" (trigger) style. The setting CV CLOCK DIV let you choose how much ppqn the sequencer will run for one input trig. Please note that you also need to set the tempo thanks to the BPM mode, allowing a great flexibility. For example, if you want to sync Hermod+ with an external eurorack sequencer analog clock, running at 140bpm and sending a gate each 1/16, you need to set CV CLOCK DIV = 1/16 and set Hermod+ tempo to 140. If you want the BPM to automatically follow this clock input, please also use the parameter CV BPM (described below).
 CV RESET   --   CV A   CV B   CV C   CV D 
When a Gate (high level, rising edge) is received on the selected CV input, Hermod+ will instantly stop the player and reset all effects of its project. Then, the player will be waiting for the next CV clock to start from the beginning. If a clock gate and a reset gate are received at the same time, Hermod+ will restart (stop and play) instantly.

 Note  This reset input should be compatible with most modules outputting a RESET trigger on START or on STOP. It can also be compatible with modules outputting a RUN level when playing.
 CV PLAY ENABLE   --   CV A   CV B   CV C   CV D 
When the selected input is high, the sequencer will be playing. When low, Hermod+ will be stopped. In other words, it lets you control the « play/stop pad » of Hermod+ with a gate level. You can set this setting together with CLOCK SOURCE = INTERNAL and you will still be able to use the « play/stop pad » of Hermod+.
 CV REC ENABLE   --   CV A   CV B   CV C   CV D 
Use an incoming gate to enable/disable the recording.
 CV BPM   --   CV A   CV B   CV C   CV D 
Use an incoming gate (clock) to refresh the internal BPM value based on pulses averaging. This settings works together with CV CLOCK DIV (that lets you configure the clock division).
 CV CLOCK DIV   1/96   1/48   1/32   1/16   1/8   1/4   1/2   1/1 (1 BAR) 
When CLOCK SOURCE = CV and/or when CV BPM is used, sets the expected speed of the incoming clock.

 Note  This parameter is displaying 2 different units, meaning the same thing. The first one is the time division (e.g. 1/16) : it's the expected rate of the clock. The second one is the PPQN (e.g. 4ppqn) : it's the expected number of pulses per quarter note.
Sync output
 MIDI   --   CLOCK+TRANSPORT   ONLY CLOCK   ONLY TRANSPORT 
Sets if a clock should be transmitted on the MIDI port, and if start/stop (transport) messages should be transmitted as well.
 USB DEVICE   --   CLOCK+TRANSPORT   ONLY CLOCK   ONLY TRANSPORT 
Sets if a clock should be transmitted on the DEVICE port, and if start/stop (transport) messages should be transmitted as well.
 USB HOST   --   CLOCK+TRANSPORT   ONLY CLOCK   ONLY TRANSPORT 
Sets if a clock should be transmitted on the HOST port, and if start/stop (transport) messages should be transmitted as well.
 CLOCK ON STOP   --   SEND 
Always sends the MIDI clock even when the player is stopped.
 RESET OUT MODE   RESET ON PLAY   RESET ON STOP   SEQ CHANGE   RUN   STOP   1/96   ...   128 BARS 
The dedicated reset output can be configured to :
RESET ON PLAY Trigger this gate at the start of playback.
RESET ON STOP Trigger this gate at the end of playback.
SEQ CHANGE Trigger this gate at any sequence change.
RUN This gate will be high only when playing.
STOP This gate will be high only when not playing.
1/96 .. 128 BARS Defines a rate for using this output as a secondary clock output generator.
 CLOCK OUT RATE   1/96   1/48   1/32   1/16   1/8   1/4   1/2   1/1 
Sets the speed/resolution of the dedicated clock gate output.
MIDI input
 ACTIVE TRACK PORT   --   MIDI   DEVICE   HOST   ALL 
Routes the MIDI messages of the selected port to the currently selected track, regardless of the track's input parameters.
 ACTIVE TRACK CHANNEL   CH01   ...   CH16 
Routes the MIDI messages of the selected channel to the active track regardless of the track's input parameters.
 NOTES   IGNORE   ACCEPT 
Accepts or ignores the incoming notes MIDI event.
 CC MESSAGES   IGNORE   ACCEPT 
Accepts or ignores the incoming control-change MIDI event.
 PITCHBEND   IGNORE   ACCEPT 
Accepts or ignores the incoming pitchbend MIDI event.
 AFTERTOUCH   IGNORE   ACCEPT 
Accepts or ignores the incoming aftertouch (pressure) MIDI event.
 PROG CHANGE SEQ   CH01   ...   CH16 
Enables an incoming MIDI Program Change to select the playing sequence (SE1 to SE16).
MIDI thru
 MIDI/HOST/DEVICE > MIDI/HOST/DEVICE   OFF   ON 
Allows for incoming MIDI data to be directly copied to the selected output port.
CV/Gate input
 ACTIVE TRACK   --   CV/GATE AB   CV/GATE CD   MOD A   MOD B   MOD C   MOD D 
Route a CV/Gate pair, or a single modulation CV to the currently selected track, regardless of the track's input parameters.
 CV A/B/C/D RANGE   –5V > +5V   0V > +5V   –2,5V > +2,5V   -1V > +1V 
Converts the incoming CV input signal levels to Hermod's standards.
Miscellaneous
 AUTOLOAD   ON   OFF 
Automatically loads the last saved or loaded project at startup.

 Tip  You can temporarily skip autoload by Pressing  step  button at startup.
 LED BRIGHTNESS   0%   ...   200%

 HOLD TIME   FASTER   FAST   NORMAL   SLOW   EXTRA SLOW 
Changes the time for a button press to be registered as a Hold action.
 SMART OVERDUB   OFF   ON 
This feature allows for replacing recorded notes only when incoming notes are received. While recording, if nothing is played, the existing notes will remain. As soon as a new note is received, it will start to overwrite existing notes.
 SMART OVERDUB TIME   1   ...   100 
Sets the time threshold for the smart overdub. After the set time, the player will stop overwriting existing notes.
 FOLLOW PLAYHEAD   ON   OFF 
Allows the piano roll to display the currently played section of the pattern automatically. When enabled, this behavior can be temporarily disabled by Pressing  X  or  Y  while in  step  mode.
Monitor
On the left side of the screen, display the captured voltages of the four CV inputs (A, B, C, D) from -5.000V to +5.000V.

On the right side, displays the corresponding V/octave note, from C0 to C10.

On the center, the little dot represents the voltage of the input, and the vertical line shows the fine pitch (-50% to +50%) of the V/octave note.
Recording
Hold O to enter the record settings. Alternatively, these settings can be accessed via the global settings menu.

 Note  These particular settings will be saved along with your global settings : Press  track , then Press  Y  to enter global settings and select SAVE.
 MULTITRACK   ON   OFF 
When the multitrack recording is enabled, up to 8 routed tracks (via midi in, usb in, CV/Gate in, ...) can be recorded simultaneously.
 LOOPER   ON   OFF 
When the looper recording is enabled, you can capture your performance as if you were using a looper pedal. The length of the recording track is not predefined, but will be determined at the moment the recording stops.
First, Press O to arm the recording and Press Play Button to start it.
Press O to end the recording. The track length will be set, and the track will begin looping.
 HARD REC   ON   OFF 
When hard recording is enabled, the previously recorded notes will be erased upon a new recording.
 PUNCH IN   OFF   ON 
When the recording is armed (REC button is lit), allows for the recording to listen to inputs and start recording upon the first incoming note.

 Note  This option works on incoming notes only, it has no effect when recording on a MODULATION track layout.
