Welcome...
(no really, i always wanted to say that in a low slightly distorted voice...sigh...)
to The numbskull electronic tinkerer show
Here, I will attempt before your very eyes to put together a monophonic, computer controlled synthesizer: a clone of the Roland TB-303.
Now that everyone and his brother has gone through this build, I feel confident enough that every one and his brother has run in every conceivable problem there is, so I plunge !
Actually it's more complicated than that. i wanted to build one for a long time, but waiting list for kits were almost a decade long (ok, slight overemphasis here, but still...)
Fortunately, ada fruit industries , the people responsible for the birth of thid magnificent clone, have found a deserving heir in the body of
Willzyx who is now supplying express kit through his shop, and soon complete kits. Hurray!!! (note that as i write this , he is out of kits, but he should have some in the coming weeks.)
Now, the x0xb0x being an open source project , anyone can build one for themselve following the provided instructions on the ada fruit site: everything is given out, code, pcb design files, cnc files, everything. But unless your proficient with all this stuff, your best bet is to go with a kit so you don't have to source every component for yourself, which can be daunting, believe me.
so, here I will be documenting my build of a x0xb0x, both for your enjoyment and mine, of course.
see you on the bench : )

It is a complete and self-contained piece of shit that will turn any build into a slow and painful descent into the pits of electronic diy hell.
get something like this instead:
I paid 55$ on ebay, never regreted it, also ditch the moist sponge and go with the brass shavings pot scrubber type of thing instead, much better.
Then crank the iron, you want it so out that you only need to touch and go. Otherwise, keep your tip clean and tinned and your all set.
As per the wiring...
AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!
It's a bitch innit ?

Second clip sounds cool dude.
Maybe some day I'll give it a shot, aside from clumsiness I have a whole lot of lazy to overcome as well!
You'll love modular no doubt (beware of addiction though), I really underestimated the power of an open system. Here she is:

Just recently got a myspace page up week or two ago, still need to mirror the content to my admin page over here. (yeah, yeah; 'fiend you!')
All tracks have some of this beast in it but most prominent appearance probably is in 'Crystal Math'.
