Lights and Colors and Axoloti

#1

Experimenting with Lights and Colors while the Axoloti is generating music.

#2

Interesting. Could you tell us more about how you are using the Axoloti?

#3

the background music is coming entirely from the axoloti, i am using a patch that combines randomness, repetion, and quatization to create atmosphaeric soundscapes. i posted a similaer patch here in the forum a while ago. i am interested in combining sound and visible processes. i posted also several videos here where i am using servo motors to move things around also sequenced by a musical patch like that. for this color experiments i am also planning to make things movable by servo motors.

let me know if you want to know something specific.

Ok thanks. Nothing specific at this time, just curious if the Axoloti was part of the soundscape but combined with other instruments, or if it was multitracked, etc.

@ricard

no, no multitracking, no other instruments, one axoloti, one go :slight_smile:

Impressive. If there some form of real time manual input to the Axoloti patch or does it run autonomously once it has been set up?

@ricard
it can run on its own, but it can be influenced with gpio pots. of course: tempo. periods of time a voice repeats a phrase before it picks another one to repeat. how many notes in a phrase. range of notes etc.
lots of possibilies of musical characters without changing the actual patch. slight changes to patch and there is a universe of possibilities. not even mentioning changing note selection in the quantizers (which brings the biggest character changes. but i think in the video above there might be actually almost no manual input. when "mutable instruments "marbles"" came out recently i tried to rebuild it on axoloti and it brought me closer to sequencing the way i want it.

I know this is super old - but any chance you would consider adding your version of marbles to the community library, or share some pics of how you did it?
