HC One is a performance-oriented plugin for Haken Audio's Eagan Matrix. The Eagan Matrix is the synth engine for a variety of hardware devices. These include the Haken Continuum, ContinuuMini, EaganMatrix Module, and the Osmose from Expressive E.
Note — Osmose has known issues when interfacing with external software. Not all EaganMatrix features work with the Osmose. Changes can be operational, but are not immediately displayed on the Osmose display. Pachde does not own an Osmose or EMM, so any help testing and documenting any issues with these devices is welcome.
Note — HC One has been designed and tested with EaganMatrix firmware version 10.09. Some features are not operational with newer firmware (version > 10.09), and an update to HC One will be required to restore full function (see issue #28).
HC One is not intended to be a replacement for the Haken Editor. HC One is a complementary performance companion and automation tool.
HC-1 is the main module. The rest are companion modules to HC-1, and require an HC-1 in the patch to do anything. HC One modules automatically find each other, so you are free to arrange them wherever in the rack you like. They do not have to be side-by-side like Rack expander modules.
The HC-One modules shown here from left to right are:
-
HC-1 Fast access to favorite presets, with knobs and CV inputs for the essential controls.
-
Pedal 1 & Pedal 2 Pedal control, virtual pedals, pedal CV input and output.
-
Round Control of rounding and the tuning scale, with CV and trigger.
-
Compress EaganMatrix compressor controls, with CV.
-
Favorites Pushbuttons to access up to 16 Favorite files.
There is one hidden module, used for development:
- HC-2 Experimental module (hidden).
