Here are a few videos of my last 3 projects using my axoloti boxes.
The first one is using just a usb keyboard and one axoloti board, with a patch that includes 8 short mono sequencer lines, each connected to a different synth. I record each line one after the other, over and over again.
It's quite a melodic performance (for once) and I really want to continue exploring this kind of patch / performance configuration. I still need to find a way to have a sequencer subobject that allows me to have some release on the synth sound
The second video is a setup using 3 different axoloti boxes. The audio is daisy chained one into the other (green into yellow, yellow into black). The black box is just a reverb patch. The other two have sequencers, and synths of all kind. The yellow box is also sending analog signals out of PA4 and PA5, that I can patch up into any input of any box. The Greenbox is the master clock and sends it into the yellow box.
This one is much less melodic (even if there's a small modal jam starting at around 22'50).
All this setup is powered by a usb battery charger (that gives me around 7 hours of playtime, fully charged)
So this was a proof of concept for one of my dreams to have a battery powered modular synth setup, that I could play anywhere. The whole setup fits into 1 keyboard bag + 1 backpack (with the battery powered Roland amp). This is the setup I have the most liberty with, and making new patches for all 3 boxes is really quite exciting and fun. The hardest part is getting to know one's patch well enough to feel confortable when playing them (it just takes hours of playing and adjusting)
The last video, is a single patch using my black box, and a home made usb controller. It's a simple 4 operator FM patch going into some delay, but it can be very expressive and produce some great sounds.
All these performances are going to be part of a project I'm working on these days, called "Future Floods" that will consist on live music that someone could play on a raft, a lonely comet, an iceberg or the roof of a house. "I don't know where I'm going in life, but I taking my axoloti with me !"
