Hey,
When I first heard about Axoloti (at kickstarter) the first thing I thought was how perfect it was for my project, an electronic version of a basque traditional percussion instrument, the Txalaparta instrument.
After many tests I think I can say it is finally working fine and sounding great
The lights are neopixel strips controlled by a teensy that receives midi notes and cc from the Axoloti. The sound comes from the Axoloti, and the reverb is external (Boss RV-6)
