[sdiy] Axoloti

[Ian Fritz]

Thanks, Brian.

Boards, kits and full modules are available for about a
dozen of my projects.  Paul Appliancide over at Muff's has two 
Bucla-esque panels and boards exclusively for collections of my modules 
for the 5U crowd.

Johannes sounded pretty discouraging as far as putting more sound 
sources and waveshapers into Axoloti.  Not sure why -- I had the 
impression that all the anti-aliasing issues had been solved ages ago. 
:-) I wish I was more proficient at DSP programming -- I've learned all 
the theory, of course (not exactly quantum electrodynamics), But all 
I've actually made so far is some simple FPGA experiments.

Does anyone with experience know how much could be done in Reaktor?

I've been having some fun recording sweeps of a couple of my waveshapers 
and using the results to set up wavetables in Nave. The waveforms don't 
always display correctly, but they sound fine, and the spectra look nice 
and regular.  I have a little thread on these experiments going on at 
Muff's software subforum.
