Axon 2 is a drum synth driven by artificial intelligence. (Well, "intelligence" might be a strong word. Artificial something-or-other.).
| New version | 2.0.12 |
| Old version | 2.0.7 |
| Release Notes | We have activated the MIDI out feature of Axon. Some things to note: 1. The MIDI note that the particular node outputs is based on the pitch setting of the node. 2. The mixer works when using the MIDI out. The level sliders determine velocity, and mute and solo both work as you'd expect. 3. AUv3 built with iOS SDK prior to iOS 11 do not have MIDI out. So we have to raise the minimum of Axon to iOS 11 to allow this. |
