If you don’t have hardware built, you should at least get a beatstep or something for basic parameter chanhes

I have a patch that does what you're asking, procarstenation. I'll upload a video today or tomorrow when I get it finalized and debugged. It uses two stomps switches to toggle between different purposes--one 'side' is a synth; the other is some granular processing. You could just as easily mix the two signals with a knob, expression pedal, accelerometer, &c, and have both the synth and external audio processing running at the same time.

Spacelordmother's sample patch is the basic idea I'm working from (mux/demux). Put things in the path of the audio signal (red lines between demux/mux) and connect some kind of switch to the green inlet on demux/mux objects and you're good to go. There's much more to it if you want there to be; I'm sure we can help work it out if you try it and get stuck.

Turns out this is not always true.

What, CPU load?

Behringer xtouch mini too -- that has encoders with remote led control. No idea on build quality on something this cheap, but I've never had any reliability issues with B myself.

Yes, cpu load. I muxed some audio in and out of processing and it changed the cpu load.

Here’s a link to a brief sketch of axo chewing up some loops. The patch isn’t totally polished, but it’s: Mutable Instruments Clouds, a low pass filter, and a giant reverb.

Here’s a quick clip of the synth side:

Try something, even if it sounds like nothing.

Have just started thinking about what I want to do with AXO3 and realized I never posted what I did with AXO2.
4 encoders with pushbutton, 3 buttons with independent LEDs, 2 OLED screens. Current control patch is set so pushing an encoder takes you to a "page" with 4 parameters. This could be expanded. :snax:
Bottom screen shows the info, top screen shows audio output waveform.

AXO is still cool as FUUUUUUU

Late to the party. Way late. Ordered a Core to mess around with. I have an idea. A cunning plan. I suck at programming stuff, but I'm quite stubborn, so it might work out in the end. :lol:

In terms of hardware, what pots/stomps/buttons/etc did you use? Any specific pots in particular, resistance wise?
