x0xb0x Synthesizer TB-303 Clone w/Wood Endcaps!

via this auction
via the seller: "You probably already know what this is, but if not, it's a clone of the original circuit from the much sought after Roland TB-303. They are all built from kits; none are available from an original manufacturer.

I sourced all the parts myself and used all highest quality components, including 1% resistors and accurate vintage parts where needed. I went to school for electrical engineering and have built and repaired many synths over the years, including quite a few x0xb0xen. It's working 100% correctly and sounds amazing.

I painted the case of this x0x with a special metal flake automotive paint from House of Kolor. It's a 4-stage paint, including primer, base coat, sparkly middle coat, and top clear coat. It was all shot through my Sata II paint gun in my garage and I must say it looks fantastic. It reminds me of Kustom amps from the 70s. It's basically like 70s boat paint!


I made the end cheeks out of poplar wood. The center profile was cut out with a router, and the outside was cut on a table saw and sanded smooth. I stained the wood mahogany brown and coated it with gloss polycrylic. The screws are counter-sunk and attach to nuts inside the case. These end caps took me hours to make, but I think they make the x0x look pretty amazing!

The only electronic mods done to the x0x were the bass boost mod, as well as the addition of a power switch on the back panel. Everything else is stock, with Adafruit firmware. It sounds fantastic, and will kick out sweet acid basslines all week while looking chic in your rig. There are a couple very minor scratches in the top faceplate, and a small manufacturing flaw in the rear plate. See close-ups below. Includes new power supply."

"A quick first look at Tympanum showing a bit of the mixing interface. The 1st screen is amplitude (volume and modulation), and the 2nd screen is location (panning and reverb). Much much more to come! Next we'll take a look at editing..."

Analogue Solutions Semblance #01: Processing External Sound Through the Analogue Filter


YouTube via Uploaded by rezfilter on Mar 8, 2011

"Here's a few sound sources filtered though the Analogue Solutions Semblance synthesizer
The Semblance is not only a great dual oscillator analogue monosynth, but it can also serve as a dedicated signal processor using one of the EXT Ins at the back of the unit. The sky's the limit with what can be processed - you'll find some interesting ideas in the clip!

The video also features the Semblance EG being triggered via MIDI (notes), which can be used to create unusual filter effects for beats and other percussive noise sources when the MIDI notes match the beat being filtered."

pNORTNAOMI - Wreck EP - 03. Seed


YouTube Uploaded by pNORTNAOMI on Mar 8, 2011

"Glitchmeal for glitch fanatics. Crossfading between busses also controls various parameters that morph and mutate the sound into the next channel and also creates new config of effects at each part of the rotation. Controlled via one knob on maschine. The environment is set up to record not only midi cc but will also write track automation as well for each parameter. The environment is also set up so you only need the maschine midi input track to be record enabled saving cpu cycles. Also great for live use."

robot gibberish with bit blob jr.


YouTube via Uploaded by bowmoneydrums on Mar 8, 2011

"this is a bit blob jr. kit from bleeplabs.com...they make the best beginner kits for synths, and they always produce really awesome chaotic sounds...

anyways...this thing is like a musical amoeba...just touching it alters the sound, and then you have the little patch chords to mess with...i don't think i have heard the same weird sounds twice... sometimes it's very rhythmic, sometimes very melodic, sometimes too much to handle haha

I don't even really like "noise" music or whatever you want to call it, but something about unbridled lawlessness of sound is opening a new door in my drummer brain

sorry about the out of focus video...actually...no, i kind alike it...it looks like a bad polaroid"
