The Roland TB303 voice practically defined Acid music, heavily influencing the development of electronic music. Add that voice to your own setup with the x0x-heart Eurorack Module.

The x0x-heart module is the analogue section extracted from the x0xb0x (a TB303 clone) and made small enough to fit the Eurorack format. More nimble as a module, you no longer need to work within the constraints of the original TB303’s sequencer.

Product progression: TB303 -> x0xb0x -> x0x-heart -> xox-heart Module

Stretch goals

If, during the campaign, the funding amount reaches $15,000, the pacemaker circuit board (the one with the knobs) will be re-designed to allow for easier tuning and manufacturing.

If and when the first stretch goal is met, more goals may be announced during the campaign - let us know what you’d like to see as a stretch goal! No promises, of course. Here are some things we’ve been considering to make available - either for additional purchase or as options:

Open source hardware

Tyler Thompson - T^2official: Video soundtrack artist and cool dude. His pro tip:

”Well my favorite thing about this module is how close it sounds to the real deal and I can sequence it with a less archaic sequencer. (I personally don’t gel with the x0x style sequencer.)

I recommend people pair it with a sequencer that has adjustable gate length per step like the Audio Damage Sequencer 1 or Industrial Electronics (Harvestman) Stillson Hammer MKII.

"If you're a fan of acid bass, the original TB-303 and Eurorack synth modules, then this one is for you… With the module being sold for the appropriate sum of $303 it’s easy to see why this has been snapped up so quickly."

Bonedo

"Von den unzähligen Klonen, die den 303-Sound imitieren, gilt die x0xb0x gemeinhin als einer der gelungeneren. In Form des x0x-heart Moduls gibt es ihren Sound nun auch im Eurorack."
