Axoloti, a very promising startup

Found today:

Basically a portable modular more like the Clavia one than our Creamware/ Sonic|Core system.
It features a modern 180Mhz ARM CPU, so we will expect a decent polyphony/complexity.
Not bad for just 60€.
Maybe a good companion for us

Kinda cool, but really not sure why they'd choose a 180MHz core, when for the same price you can get an ARM core that is optimized for DSP and realtime (like an R5) and have it run at 500MHz. An M4 is designed for realtime, but is geared for realtime control, rather than realtime DSP.
Enough complaining, it is pretty damn cool, especially as compared to the old Nord Micro Modular!!!!

but you need a PSU, a case and some control stuff to bring it near a Nord Micro...
don't understand the Chip thing, too: I exhaust my iPad mini's A7 (1.3 Ghz) with ease
(those chips really have surprising DSP capability)
the hardware singleboards make sense to me, but this one ???
(sorry, but it sounds like crap to my ears)
