Open Music Labs x0x heart (Grayscale)

synthCube is proud to collaborate with open music labs!

we are offering the DIY version of the x0x-heart. 

the main pcb is a fully assembled and tested SMT board- its the analogue heart of the TB-303

the pacemaker pcb and DIY grayscale euro panel can be assembled together with the x0x-heart main pcb for a complete DIY euro module! Its 18hp wide. 

our full kit includes the assembled x0x-heart main SMT pcb, the unpopulated pacemaker through-hole pcb, and all of the pacemaker pcb and panel parts, including ribbon cable, power cables, mounting hardware etc. 

NOTE: the unpopulated PCB is a very challenging SMT DIY build. Please do NOT attempt to build an unpopulated PCB unless you are confident and experienced in DIY SMT. 

updated as of October 2020: new pacemaker pcbs are blue pcb material with gold immersion finish

The x0x-heart is the heart of the infamous TB-303, surgically extracted to be transplanted into your designs. The x0x-heart is just the analog section of the TB-303, replicated with SMT components, and made small enough to fit into a Eurorack modular format. It even has a Eurorack power header on it.

The x0x-heart is designed to be small, inexpensive, and a close replica of the TB-303. It is not a perfect replica – some sacrifices were made to keep costs down – but it’s pretty darn close. It also has no pots or controls, making it great for DIY synth building. All of the useful I/O points are pinned out, and as a special bonus feature, digital control is given for Accent, Slide, Decay, Waveform select, Cutoff, and Env Mod.
