West Coast Synthesis - Demo

#1

All the explanation of the synth can be seen in the video.
Watch the video on a descent pair of head phones or good speakers

Bravo, Maestro! My new favorite!

This is just amazing. Congrats for the hard work!

Edit: just watched the full video, nice demo as well!

#6

Thanks , it was indeed lots of work :slight_smile:

#7

Nice sound - any chance we can play with your patch ?

#8

Excellent work, many thanks for sharing.

#9

Great project and demo!

Please share patch and design information?

#10

WOW
Amazing, congratulations.
Not only your synth sounds great, it also is aesthetically beautiful and your use of it is astounding.
What did you use to connect so many potentiometers? An arduino?

#11

Amazing project! I'd also like to know more about the physical build process :slight_smile:

#12

There's a dedicated thread with an "inside view", it's 2 Axolotis.

#13

Thanks! I think it’s one Axoloti connected to a Doepfer MIDI interface, used to make DIY MIDI controllers.

#14

You're right, the one on top looks different, indeed :smiley:

#15

Thanks, I used 1 Axoloti and 1 Doepfer USB64 for the pots. Switches and leds where used with axo and the cc knobs (pots) to the Doepfer USB64. Axo and Doepfer are connected with midi together . Axo uses usb connection to Ableton for the different channels. Doepfer is powered with a seperate adapter.

#16

Does USB64 send all pot values to Axoloti on startup?

#17

Thanks. I designed my panel layout with Inkscape, than let it printed on 3mm thickness alluminium, drilled myself the wholes etc...
I used 1 AXO and 1 Doeper USB64. These are connected together with midi cable. AXO connections with only swithches and leds, Doepfer with alle the pots. Doepfer is powerd seperatly.

#18

This is great! Would really love to see the patch, for ideas!

#19

yes, it does send all values on startup, works perfect

#20

Do you need to start Axoloti first, and then start USB64 - or can you power both up simultaneously and get the correct result?
