1. About

Ksoloti is an environment for generating and processing digital audio. It can be a programmable virtual modular synthesizer, polysynth, drone box, sequencer, chord generator, multi effect, sample player, looper, granular sampler, MIDI generator/processor, CV or trigger generator, anything in between, and more.

The Ksoloti Core is a rework of the discontinued(?) Axoloti Core board. In short, Ksoloti aims for maximum compatibility with the original Axoloti, but with some layout changes and added features.

Using the Patcher software on your computer, you create your own sound patches by placing and connecting sound objects, or explore patches other users shared. You can edit any existing patches and even objects, or write entirely new ones from scratch. When you are satisfied with your patch, you can upload it to the Ksoloti Core's internal memory – or save a collection of patches on SD card – so you can play it without your computer connected.

The fun really begins when you connect a class-compliantSome manufacturers call it "class-compliant MIDI device", some just add a remark that "it works out of the box" or "no drivers are required".

When in doubt, check with the manufacturer and have a look at the List of Tested MIDI Devices on the Ksoloti Forum! USB MIDI controller to the USB host port. Or go the DIY route and solder pots, buttons, LEDs or displays, sensors and more together to control your patches and make Ksoloti a tactile and highly playable hardware instrument.
