Hey gang,
I just got my Axo the other day, and I gotta say that I am absolutely struggling with it. As a beginner with not much coding experience (did some PD way back), I'm finding it super frustrating. The "user guide" is literally useless, and the idea of "dig through these patches and work out what is going on" is incredibly frustrating. I've gone through all the tutorial patches, they didn't really help at all.
I'd really like to learn basic stuff, like:
- How to simply map a midi controller to a parameter (can't find a guide on this). I tried doing this through both the DIN port and the USB port using two different midi controllers, no luck at all. Matched the CC's, etc. I was trying to map a pot to control one of the library fx patches (Bass_fx) FWIW. Just couldn't get it working. Seems like it's a multi layered patch?
- How to patch a midi keyboard to play synths. Some of them work by default, some of them just don't work at all
- How to use it as a USB host for my OP1, so I can sequence external synths with OP1. This was the initial reason I bought it, but it doesn't seem to do this as plug n play. Is there a patch for this?
- Where the hell is CLDS and LMNTS? I've sync'd libraries, can't find it anywhere
Sorry to come straight of the gate bitching, but I've spent a few days on this and every time i load it up I just get extremely frustrated (and I'm a pretty patient guy!). I really want this to work, but as a beginner it's just not happening
