Ladyada x0xb0x

(Originally written by patroche/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Monophonic synth with integrated sequencer.

It has the same controls as the TB303.

But it adds a USB port, Midi and a sync output for an old analog device.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.

SOUNDS

It sounds amazing. Why would you wanna buy a very expensive TB303?

It's the exact replica regarding sound and controls. The additional functions (sequencer and USB Midi) are digital.

OVERALL OPINION

I ordered a kit, assembled it and it works great.

I plan to make a second one.

I've tested a real TB303 several times and I can't notice any difference.

Hats off to Ladyada for this clone, which is the best on the market.

- It is a "clone" of TB 303 (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TB-303) manufactured in a process with Adafruit by an individual.

- The squenceur is more intuitive than the original and offers advanced functions such as turning the squence from a given point and up the return to the first step of the selections to play etc .. The "groove" (slectionnable) is really nice.

- Triplet twelve o'clock handy between auxiliary NOT treated with the filter floor (home), serves suit mixer with an external signal, can be useful in certain situations.

- CV / gate for contrler old synths / bar / seq

- Monophonic product offering two waveforms (square and sawtooth), no envelope if this is a sustain that produces an effect in certain situations (bis) or glides without accent, short ...dropoff window

USE

It can not be easier, and more convenient, sends notes played by the squenceur is very convenient, Contrle by squenceur (Mcf for me) change pattern is slightly DCAL (at home, and no walkthrough), so the "pattern" Envoys are then enregistrs mpc midi in and rejous by it, you lose it nothing (slide, accent) and we gain in flexibility. The knobs filter reso emphasis decay encoders are not therefore send nor reoivent noon messages. The threesome works wonder twelve o'clock, the party also usb. The editors proposs and have their utility and their charms!
Backup presets is easy as pie, their edition is super intuitive for this type of machine, however the bank change and pattern works through MIDI, maiiiis is dclenche rather haphazardly, via my mpc .. .dropoff window

SONORITS

As we know, this is a similar mono with a 100% analog circuitry and wants to be a clone of the machine sews Roland. Although her look cheap and less funky than the original is being placed at first for a toy, connect a blender by passing through pedals (or not) will change the more convinced of the independent review crottables! (Not to mention his "303"). Although the job is done brilliantly, the sound is super hot, even without changes. I count him stick a compressor buttock (mono, right) for compenseur approximately 6 dB of loss when rso flirts with 10% (approximately) more ... The filter (18dB / oct.) Is very ffective, the coupled rso and end up directly at the time. This synthesis allows for more fine bass, not just acids. The sound is very round and warm.

NOTICE GLOBAL

- About 3 months, but the original TB was part of the gear we had with friends in the late 80s, I know that sound.

Plus: a clear sound (qques small problems at the beginning of tunage but rsolus since) the squenceur, management noon (send / return seq.).

least: the randomized management program change via midi, really cheap cot (I want a boxing Mtal or wood) the product level appearance.

notices before the thing résumé is well I think!

USE

I have not read the manual, findable on the net and only in English, but after seeing the video of this gentleman:
he had nothing more to me (I'm not too rotten anglish)
it is no more complicated than has is "just" a monophonic synth there's no 36000 functions !!

SONORITS

ACIiID! ben has just pete !! pure bohneur turn the knobs! I'll throw in the trash !! Phoscyon good, huh Phoscyon is excellent! and do more with my xOx basic version but I'm the same pattern and the same adjustment to compare and x0x this grain has more features and new low!
I put him zone2 metal ass boss has spit! but the grain is good too ... Mtal for it! I also test with a DS7 Ibanez out of the attic aussi..pas bad .. but there's 2 of breath ... I have to find my old Boss SE50 I'm sure there's a would Gating ...

I for 3 days and I have not PICK!
I state all emulations I could cubase mac via hardware but would forever !!
I also have the MC 303 which is not doing too badly when used with synth tb distortion ass ,,, but nothing to see!
I love +? well it's like tb better! whether mythic who cares, it's just the sound pete!
Built bought (my comptences stop welding large jack!) In CEM3374 to 369, is less than 200 and 100 de- woodbrass that thomman ...
Then aspect was very cheap a crazy thing, she has to shell 500g plastoc, the knobs on the game, just above the plate is aluminum a ... makes you want to take care c clear! after I saw among the Germans x0xsh0p.de a beautiful all-aluminum shell design tb303 ... but 99 did you think, especially if there are changes by more ...
again this choice? of course! buy everyone a x0x !!!
