7. Big Genes

Big Genes is a Eurorack module for the Ksoloti Core.


The Axolotl has a remarkably complex genome. It contains about ten times the information of the human genome. Stop telling yourself you're so special.

"The genome whispers secrets that only life itself can interpret, its language a dance of darkness and light. The answers you seek lie in the spaces between heartbeats, where the silence holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. Embrace the enigma, for in its complexity lies the beauty of truth."
