Guest A/D Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This is some pretty ballin shit. I spent like $600 on that little OTO lofi box and while it is pretty awesome this thing is more capable and 1/10 the price. Good times we live in.

digit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 fukc clavia. this is pretty much the nord g3 right here. ...and you can tell by the software interface that he is clearly inspired by the nord modular. the appearance is very similar. will definitely be picking this up down the road. i love the idea of a portable little hardware box that you can reprogram as needed to fulfill various tasks for live performance. fx processor, sequencer, midi processor, synth,...

Braintree Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Looks awesome. Wish I could donate right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This looks really awesome. However, I'm very reluctant to back something on a funding campaign again...I've already had quite a bit of trouble with the Telefuture label kickstarter campaign. I'll wait for this to be available 'properly' before I sink any money into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrx Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 donated. thanks for posting this. I like the nord modular editor, so it'll be nice to have another instrument with a similar interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wyvern Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 bad tech spec for the money: a 180Mhz ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller with 256kB of SRAM, and 1MB of Flash (STM32F427) You can get raspberry pi or arduino for cheaper and much more functionalities and way better specs. Then plug them in through usb to a audio interface for more audio io connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then plug them in through usb to a audio interface for more audio io connections. True, but you'd need the audio interface. Also, it's dedicated so you don't need to run an unnecessary operating system, and (I assume) you don't have to fuck around in order to get low latency audio processing from it.

Also, it's dedicated so you don't need to run an unnecessary operating system, and (I assume) you don't have to fuck around in order to get low latency audio processing from it. From FAQ: Why not simply use a Raspberry Pi? A Raspberry has a higher clock speed and much more memory. It is rather a small PC, and that brings in all the maintenance associated with a PC. Running Raspbian uses so much resources of the Raspberry Pi, that little is left for realtime audio duties. The onboard audio output is very low quality and there’s no audio input. If you try this road, you’ll end up with a composition of a r-pi, usb hub, USB sound card, and running USB cables internally. Axoloti is made to be patched with a PC, where you can focus on the audio algorithms., and then be played without PC, where you can focus on playing your sound. http://axoloti.be/more-info/hardware-faq/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudbreaker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 hahaha, I finally broke down and got a nord micro modular earlier this week. Oh well. This looks dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hanratty Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 How much do you think this will cost? It looks a lot like the micro modular. Although, if I remember right, the NM had a lot of modules that this doesn't have. Still, it's really cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least during the indiegogo campaign, it looks like you can pre-order one for 60 euros plus shipping – significantly cheaper than the NMM, that's for sure. Can't say how it compares in terms of patching/sound/hardware/etc, seems super cool though. Nice to have a modern alternative that's not super expensive (ala monome aleph).

kausto Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Got it today. Installed, connected — everything works fine. Loaded some tutorial patches and demos. It sounds really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Got it today. Installed, connected — everything works fine. Loaded some tutorial patches and demos. It sounds really good.

kausto Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 What are you using for an enclosure? Nothing, yet. Going to use long and short stands and laser cut acryllic plates with rounded corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 How are the delays and filters? Do you think you'd be able to, say, build a reverb in it?What's the sampler like?Damn, I wanna get one of these. Should've funded while I had the chance. Hope the next run is soon.

kausto Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 It is more like Max and PD, but with 3000Hz control rate instead of bangs. Everything is pretty low level, compared to NM and G2. So you can build reverbs as subpatches and use them everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I really wish I'd gotten two instead of one. I regretted it almost as soon as I'd paid for one but by the time I decided to donate for a second one they were gone. I hope he gets funding going for the Axoloti Control soon!

Lucas Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 saw the promo video yesterday and the idea of getting one grew on me. this could be a great replacement for my CS1X for live performance (i would already have a lot of equipment to move and taking the CS1X although I just use it as a "MIDI expander" - no need for the keyboard - is a bit stupid). I use this synth a lot for pads and I wonder how Axoloti sounds for that. wow I just saw you can actually download the software for free!! look like I found what I'll do today edit: well, seems like you need the Axoloti Core to output sounds from the patches you program. Too bad, would have been cool to be able to test the software before buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 hope there are plans for another production soon. Any info about when that could happen? didn't find anything on the site, even a contact e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There's a forum now, I haven't really read much yet since I'm still waiting for mine to ship, but that would be the place to check I think. http://community.axoloti.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I never caught this thread when the campaign was going on, sounds like an interesting little device. Curious to see some hands on experiences with it. Sent using magic space waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 i'd pay somethin for the software by itself if it put out sound a la that nord modular software that is monophonic but free to use, i dunno if you can get the polyphonic version without the hardware or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The software is really just an editor, all of the patches are compiled to machine code and loaded onto the DSP board, so I'd imagine making a software version would mean practically starting from scratch. PD would do more or less what you're after, though, and for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enki Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The Patcher software is, in my opinion, the only interesting thing about this project. The board itself looks pretty much like an STM32 reference design, and the hardware is rather anemic. Hopefully they'll gain some traction and target a more interesting SoC (preferably one with a lot more RAM for delays), or bite the kernel hacking bullet and turn this into a BeagleBone cape (which is what I think they should've done in the first place). P.S., from what I've read it seems as though the editor creates C++ code from the patches, which are then compiled for the ARM chip. In that case, doing a software version or targeting another platform shouldn't be too difficult. I'm gonna be keeping an eye on this project...
