Race to the pedalboard: An Axoloti Adventure

I saw you were working on yours a while ago. Do you have complete hardware?

You can see that he does. Look at the photo.

Hardware is running but apart from monkeying around with a looper patch I have not had much time to do anything worthwhile since, or more frankly, looking down at what a rabbit hole it was I backed away
I guess if I was doing new year resolutions this would be one of them

My war resolution is no new gear until Axo is completed.

Is this a cease-fire war resolution or just a front for secret black ops?

All.

Bump from the basement.

OK, so, thanks to aens wife I have one of these. Probably going to get some quality time in with it tonight... anyone have any effects I should try and recreate for me to start learning the interface? I can't imagine it's very different from MaxMSP but I always tend to work better with a goal in mind.

[drolo]

nothing yet, but there's tons of stuff in the library already.
There is a function to download and sync to get the whole library of contributions

Did you get everything installed? That took a week for me to figure out.

When you have the patcher running, hit space bar to add objects. It’s a lifesaving shortcut. Then search in the upper left corner.

The bitcrusher preset is good. There are a lot of reverbs that are worthwhile.
Delays are good. Flanger is ok if you want modulation. Doesn’t really do tom morello.

I’ve gotten a little tired using it as a guitar pedal. I think it’s much better as a synth.

Still troubleshooting USB cables

But I did see this video, which is pretty rad (and really long) for anyone else that's curious about this:

They're all pretty good, D. Interesting looper (takes some effort to figure out--rbrt's contributions in the community object library). Great reverbs. I don't have it in front of me, but I believe it's the TSG reverb that I'm a little in love with.

Otherwise: there's a bunch of Mutable stuff loaded in there (lmts, brds, clds). Maybe the most promising thing is to use it as a complex modulation source for simple sounds/effects. Since it opens up patching beyond what you can do in eurorack, the sky is the limit. Want to mix 16 waveforms, watch them in a scope, and route them to a filter's cutoff frequency? Or send the inverse of those waveforms to scrub through a pitched down loop?

There's also a sick MURF patch that someone built. Play with that.

I used Axo with it as a synth for a long time before I started patching effects. What really got me going on that was trying to recreate pedals I always wanted to try but couldn't afford/didn't want enough to actually buy. Case in point - try to clone a PN-2. It's "simple." Feel free to hit me up with questions.

I just bought a second one.

I feel like I'm way too dumb for this thread. I want to build one, but I just don't know...
