8-track polyphonic Eurorack sequencer with MIDI and CV

30 HP Eurorack module

Hermod is an 8-track CV/Gate and MIDI sequencer for Eurorack, offering polyphonic sequencing, real-time recording, an effect rack per track, and flexible MIDI/USB/CV routing. It bridges the modular world with external MIDI devices and computers, acting simultaneously as a standalone sequencer, a CV/Gate interface, and a MIDI-to-CV converter with expressive performance capabilities.

Features

8 tracks, each with up to 8 effects and a mod matrix
8 sequences per project, 64 total tracks per project
Unlimited project save/load without stopping playback
Polyphonic sequencing with velocity and aftertouch recording
Flexible voice layout per track: Mono, Mono+Velo, Mono+Velo+Aftertouch, Poly, Poly+Velo, Unison, Modulation
Up to 64 steps per pattern
Note patterns and modulation/gate patterns
Real-time overdub and hard-record modes
4 CV inputs configurable as CV/Gate, modulation, clock, or sequence change
8 CV/Gate output pairs with 16-bit DAC resolution
CV voltage range -5V to +5V (C0 = -5V, C5 = 0V, C10 = +5V)
MIDI input and output (DIN)
