we'll my x0x is actually working now, but it sounds like BANNED. i recorded a little sample in random mode. two (maybe three) of my potentiometers are beat up and need to be replaced. but besides replacing those can someone listen to this sample and tell me where to look next.

Re: x0x is working, but doesn't sound like acid
it sounds like your tempo is super fast. what's it sound like when you just play notes? (i.e. not random mode).k-rite wrote:we'll my x0x is actually working now, but it sounds like BANNED. i recorded a little sample in random mode. two (maybe three) of my potentiometers are beat up and need to be replaced. but besides replacing those can someone listen to this sample and tell me where to look next.

yeah the tempo potentiometer needs to be replaced. when i play notes it sounds like my x0xb0x is farting.subatomic wrote: it sounds like your tempo is super fast. what's it sound like when you just play notes? (i.e. not random mode).

o.k. Sample 03evilxsystems wrote:switch it to the square wave, turn down the cutoff to 25% and turn the resonance to 100% and post another sample....
i also have the volume all the way up and the gain on my recording mixer is all the way up. the x0x should be louder, huh?

when i first built the kit i had some pots in the wrong sections, so i had to switch them around. i damaged some of them. i just ordered replacement ones from digikey, so hopefully the new ones will fix the tempo and envelope section. the resonance works when the pot is above 50% and the cutoff is also above 50%. i'll go ahead a post some more samples if i'm still having troubles after the pot replacement. when i have the resonance and envelope all the way up and mess with the cutoff i can hear a little acid squelch. there is hope! ;0)kokoon wrote:sounds like the problems are:
1. turbo tempo speed
2. VCA envelope malfunction
3. tuning really whacked
4. resonance not working?
