edit: here’s a work-in-progress version. your first sound device - Google Docs
someone on Discord wanted me to make an outline before a tutorial is made for patching in Ksoloti patcher, so here’s my outline:
your first sound device (outline):
getting started with the Ksoloti patcher
we assume you know a bit about making electronic music
we also assume you have a Ksoloti (Core, Gills, Big Genes) or an Axoloti board or an Akso board
and we assume you have installed the Ksoloti patcher
intro:
- connecting Ksoloti, loading demo/tutorial patches
- patch window & console window
- what the hell is a ‘patch’? your first patch
- exploring the object library
- wire types (boolean, string, audio, integers, controls)
- execution order
- Live vs Edit Mode
- controls
- physical controls
- second patch. choose what to make:
- an audio effect unit (easiest to understand)
- a synth, monophonic (1 note at a time) or polyphonic (many notes)
- a drum machine (sample-based and/or synth-based drums, with sequencer)
audio effect:
- checking audio input works (audio input → audio output)
- adding audio effects
synth:
- making sounds with oscillator, envelope, and filters
- add MIDI keyboard control to make a mono synth
- add MIDI pitch bend and mod wheel control
- making the synth polyphonic
drum machine:
- sample upload and playback
- quick guide to drum synthesis
- adding MIDI keyboard control
- adding sequencer with BPM control
outro:
- MIDI out & CV
- OLED display
- other user guides & learning resources
- third patch: learn from YouTube sound design tutorials by yourself
