Here's the second video in my 6-part "How To Run This Little Fucker" series. In this one, I show a little more in-depth about how to make connections, and the rhythms that result. I changed the format a bit to make it less wordy than the last one, which was apparently causing some problems.

Cool! Looking forward to learning more about Axon.

**MrBiggs** (2010-08-26):

In the video, you refer to Neuron 7. Shouldn't that be 6? 0 in the center, then 1 through 6 around the outside?

The point is still made, but I had trouble at first understanding what you were referring to when my counting didn't match.

Nice work on this thing.

**Chris Randall** (2010-08-26):

Whoops. Look like a re-render is in my future. Good catch.

Edit: Christ wept, how the fuck did I manage that? Every reference to 7 is 6, and every reference to 6 is 5. Rendering a new one now, replacement imminent.

FWIW, I didn't catch the 7 when I watched it. Of course I was swearing about Unicode or something at the same time.

All righty. Fixed. Sorry 'bout that.

Axon is brilliant - I've just purchased and I'm having loads of fun messing with this! Cheers.

**jwcase** (2010-08-26):

this, as is becoming standard with AI releases, is an exceptionally cool looking product. while I understand from website blurbs that you guys generally eschew the very idea of product demos - this would be a nice plugin to put my hands on before i bought it - granted the price is really good, not a huge risk or anything, but i'm not sure i'll really understand it until i sprinkle it on my stuff and roll around in it a little, as opposed to say, eos or tattoo, where i heard it and was immediately hooked. i don't want to trigger a shitstorm about demos, i'm juss' sayin'..

thanks for keeping things fresh.

I'm starting to grasp this concept now.

Boy, you guys are brainy.

maybe a brain freeze on my part, but...

is there a way to visualize the linkages, once they are made?

for instance, if inspecting a preset

@rawore: while in wire mode, click on a neuron. All its receivers will be surrounded by a blue border. Look at 1:18 on the video above, it'll show neuron 0 sending to neurons 1 and 6.
