xoxbox sounds a little off (chirpy)

Post by Psynthetik »

So I bought a xox from xoxshop.de a few years ago and because of my busy work schedule I barley get to use it. Ive finally got around to get some time using it, and while it sounds pretty good I find it very squelchy, and not in a good way, its kinda chirpy when I start to open the filter cutoff. I will post a clip later but to me, it sounds like its really high pitched. Maybe this is the way its supposed to be but I really like the deeper sounding acid lines. Hope that makes sense. For comparison, Ive programmed the same notes into the xox and into abl2 and unfortunately the abl2 sounds way better to me for the style I like. Can anyone confirm if they own a xoxshop unit theres sounds has that same behaviour.

i need to hear the recording, but i suspect it's a matter of filter cutoff tuning, which can be adjusted
the circuit has a trimpot for that, and for that reason the cutoff tuning varies from unit to unit hugely (in 303s, x0xes, and others)
