[sdiy] Axoloti

[nvawter]

btw I can vouch for Axoloti, big-time.  I wanted to make almost the 
exact same thing and asked for help on this list about a year ago with 
it.

Someone wrote to me privately to check out Axoloti and I'm glad I did!

I have three of them on my desk here and two virtual "string" 
instruments I've made with them.  They're very highly synthetic, but 
playable just like a guitar.  Both have six strings, one is set up like 
an electric guitar and the other is set up like a pedal steel guitar.  
They use force sensors and knobs as their interface.

One of the most amazing things about it is that you can make your own 
blocks by writing C.  And it's not terribly hard.
I find it much easier than making blocks in Max/MSP, for example.
Since the Axoloti system turns your block diagram into C code, compiles 
it and flashes it every time you press the run button, your custom C 
blocks are just one more block in the system.  And every block is easily 
locatable in the directory system.  They are xml files with headers that 
describe the inputs and outputs, then a block for your C-code.  There 
are some nuances, but I'm already getting down in the weeds.  Even 
without this function(ality), Axoloti *greatly* accelerates development 
time of instruments, synth patches, etc.

One another amazing surprise on Axoloti is the inclusion of a big DRAM 
chip.  So many times I've made things for people and they have asked me, 
"Yeah, that's great, but can I make a really long delay?"  With this 
memory, you can.  It can also store anything else, but hyooge delays are 
a given.

Thank you so much whoever it was that wrote me last year!
