Building my x0xb0x! (TB-303 clone)
Posted on: 17.01.2012 by Celina Alabed
About halfway done with the build. So far, built and tested the power supply, VCO (voltage controlled oscillator -- the thing that generates the sound), and VCF (voltage controlled filter -- the thing that adjusts how "acidy" it sounds).

I should be done by the end of the week. Looking forward to linking this up with my computer and using it during DJ sets as well as in the studio. You can do everything in box and hook it up to midi to keep it in sync with your mix, or even completely control it via midi from a keyboard or anything sending a midi signal..

Just an example of what the x0xb0x can do (this isn't mine):

Here's some pics:


Just getting started. Building the power supply.


Power supply halfway done.


Testing the VCO.


What will be the top of the x0xb0x. Only the square/saw wave switch and VCO frequency knob so far...


Testing the VCF.


VCF done!

My next project once the x0x is done is to build one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txL9l7fI0P4
