Hardware installation

  • Plug the stereo output (marked output on underside of board) into your speakers/mixer using a stereo 1/4" TRS cable. (do not use a mono cable on v1.0 boards, see hardware notes) - initially keep volume levels low!
  • Use the 1/8" mini-jack for headphones only
  • Plug a USB with a micro USB connection, from your computer into the axoloti board, this will provide both power and communication.
    many MicroUSB cables are power only and don't carry data, as they are for charging devices - these are NOT suitable for connecting to the computer

Enjoy

  • start up the Axoloti software in your applications
  • load one of the demos e.g. File -> Library -> Demos -> YouTube -> Tybett
  • toggle the Live button.
