I spent a good part of the winter finally putting some time in to learning how to use my Axoloti, which I've had kicking around for a long time being unloved. I soldered together the Music Thing Axocontrol board for the device and decided my first project would be a simple synth groovebox designed around the interface of the Axocontrol. The patch, which I've dubbed Jam-box, comprises of three drum synth voices - kick snare, hat - with a 32 step sequencer, plus a lead synth voice and a hybrid bass/chord voice, both with 64 step sequencers. On top of that there are a couple of little performance effects, and the whole thing runs stand alone, so there's no need to plug it into a computer to write a jam on it. While I was down in Cornwall in January I recorded this little tune with the device while having a walk up on Godrevy point, admiring the views and the seals (which unfortunately arn't in the video).
