Axoloti

No it is made from (Dibond type signmaker) aluminium composite sheet for the top and bottom, the sides are L shaped extruded plastic like you find in home DIY stores, the back panel is a custom PCB I made, it is all held together with threaded pillars. The screen bezel is a piece of thin rubber with an old spare gameboy replacement screen lens cut down. The panel graphics are printed on a Brother label printer.
It wasn’t too difficult to make but a bit too time consuming cutting everything by hand, so next time I’d do something different.

It helps a lot to have a cnc router and a 3d printer in your basement!

I bet!

I went the easy route

i went yet easier route
this is my universal input device for everything.
works as drum pad, freatboard-style key pad, arpeggiator control surface, etc etc etc.

for MIDI controller with pots/encoders, i use either Novation Remote Zero SL, or Novation Launch Control, or simply Electribe 2 with Axoloti as MIDI processor.

Just checked Axoloti forum and seems to be gone - 503 Bad Gateway.

503 Bad Gateway.

It’s apparently because the site disc space keep on filling up with backups and needs to be cleared periodically, and often isn’t as the Axoloti creator / site owner is unable to for unknown reasons.

Someone has made a backup of the site for reference purposes, particularly for finding patches and other useful information:

Thanks @DoS

There’s some discussion over at Lines (as the Axo forum is down so often) about a new Axoloti derivative board that’s being worked on:

Axoloti Core & Derivatives

Cheers guys, I am about to give up on the Axoloti forum. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Also I am reluctant to “release” anything before I get to talk to Johannes, the wise creator of Axoloti. Anyone seen him? What place or forum would be the best for sharing technical...

Axoloti returns!

Ksoloti Core is a rework of the discontinued Axoloti Core board. Available now on Thonk.

Ksoloti aims for maximum compatibility with the original Axoloti, with some layout changes and added features.

Ksoloti is an environment for generating and processing digital audio. It can be a programmable virtual modular synthesizer, polysynth, drone box, sequencer, chord generator, multi effect, sample player, looper, granular sampler, MIDI generator/processor, CV or trigger generator, anything in between, and more.

Interesting development!

Hello everyone !
I use an Axoloti since 2 or 3 years to generate random clocks. Today I tried to load a patch on it and it doesn’t work anymore. When I upload a patch with “upload to internal flash” command, I have two messages : “Generate code complete” and then “Disconnect Request” and I have to unplugged it and plugged it again to get the device beeing seen again on the editor.
Anyone knows what happen ? Thank you

The Swarm from Artium, now on Kickstarter, is Ksoloti based.

My Ksoloti (with K-control mini board) just arrived… next few days will be testing my old axoloti patches.

Just ordered mine. First purchase of 2025.

It looks like Swarm is already out for some time.

Yeah it completed KS.

It sounds really good to me! One of the reasons I went with Ksoloti Gills is (from what I understand) The Swarm is like a dedicated saw-type patch version/instrument of Axoloti. I thought if one patch is this good, perhaps it’s worth giving it a shot. The limited number of videos and demos on YouTube of Gills sound really good to me with a lot of opportunities. We will see…

For those interested, the Ksoloti patcher does work with the original Axoloti board. I did have to use the original Axoloti patcher to update the firmware but once that was done, Ksoloti patcher seemed to work just fine, though I wasn’t doing any really thorough tests.
