Believotron Wanderlust Axoloti Controller

We launched our beta at knobcon, which by the way, was super awesome. Someone brought in a crate of EDM chickens. I saw so many amazing synths. It was neat seeing who had and hadn't heard about the Axoloti. Just about all of the designers there were impressed by the Axoloti!

Here is our KB unit. The USB host works flawlessly. The section with forty 3.5mm knobs is just for show. It's a placeholder until the Euxoloti is ready.

I really like how simple this eurorack chassis is. They still need more engineering and reinforcement, but the look, feel, and heft is amazing. Not heavy, but not feathery either.

We're considering a variation on the case with the flat part on top replaced with more knobs. Because knobs.

Update: The store is back up!

Hi everyone! I hope your audio projects are coming along and that you're making amazing sounds.

I'm happy to announce that our beta-0 pre-order is live. If you'd like to get your hands on a beta synthesizer, go check it out.

I wanted to makes sure there were enough options for people who were good at soldering, and also already had an axoloti, or who wanted to make their own case.

If you have any questions, ask away!

This project sounds great. Keen to hear / buy when they are available.

We're going to open up another beta batch around May 15th. We'll post here with any more updates! Thank you for your interest, we can't wait for you to play with one.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to it. Any rough idea on pricing for a diy kit minus the axoloti board?

Rough pricing for the DIY-Lite kit is going to be ~$125 US. This is for people who have oodles of headers and cables, and can make their own enclosure or can use Eurorack, but don't want to solder the surface mount parts.

We're still putting together the other kits and pricing. We'll be selling everything from the just bare PCBs to a fully assembled synthesizer with enclosure.

Thanks again for the interest!
