The making of x0xb0x

A stop motion animation of the construction of a x0xb0x - the DIY clone of the classic Roland TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer/sequencer, which started the whole acid movement.

The open source x0xb0x is available in kit form from Ladyada

and the movie was made by /mr

Transistorize the world. Order a kit today. Happy soldering! :-)

Where can you buy the kit?

Follow the link in the description, then click "buy kit". A bit advanced, but hey!

building up a x0xb0x is already nerdy and then even doing a stop motion animation of it is even more nerdy. But hell yeah it's great :D

brilliant and thanks for making the effort.

@mypoopfloats That is almost the case for me! I bought all the parts for a wsg except I bought an SOIC CD40106. DIP is what I was supposed to get, so my chip was the size of my pinky fingernail (smaller actually ) and not meant for through holing! I need to order a new chip now!!! ( look up the difference between DIP and SOIC chips to see what I mean.

holy smack! i am impressed, those are a LOT of components. i bought everything to make an Atari Punk Console and the Weird Sound Generator last year, but pussed out because my soldering skills are lacking still (perhaps i will try the APC 1st, it is quite simple and sorta whack anyway)

I cant tell yet if you inspired me, or made me feel like crap??
