"a quick jam of my Box. You can here some of the mods in action, things a standard unit or 303 can't do :)"

CCJ_MiniMoog_fromXOX.mp3
"The Minimoog sequenced over CV/Gate from the unit. Halfway through I add the X0X ontop as well"

CCJ_XoXKeyboard.mp3
"You can the extra ENV mod range working here."

CCJ_MiniMoog_XOXed.mp3
"Now the Minimoog sequenced but run through the XOX's filter input. First you hear the XOX's VCO by itself, then I mix in the Mini's VCO, then i turn off the XOX's VCO and the fun begins. Now anything can be acidfied ^_^"

The back panel shows some of the mods - the top part of the back.
Left to right -

1. on/off switch added


2. hole to adjust the trimpot for the power supply warble mod. Goes from stock to 220R.
   Set in the middle it sounds closest to a 303. Left in stock it sounds a bit closer, edgey, and tighter,
   resonance not as nice. Set to the extreme, the sounds go more rubbery and mellow,
   the resonance band gets more noticeable/wider like a Juno 106....


3. switch to turn on/off the envelope modulation extra range. Very handy, you can do some sounds you can't get on a normal 303.


4. empty switch, didn't end up using it to switch a mod


5. turns the VCO on/off. Very useful for the filter input mod


6. jack for the filter input - very handy for filtering stuff, that you sequence over CV/Gate to add the accent and 303 vibe.
   Or just filter patterns when running the sequencer without the VCO etc

Mods that you can't see -

1. Bass boost - drop the high pass filter down an ocatve. Hmm sounds much thicker, gives my Minimoog and Sh2 a run for the bass money :)


2. High beta transitors for the VCO and Filter


3. allow the Env mod to be set to zero


4. wider filter cutoff range, goes from subsonic to near ultrasonic now
