It’s been a while since the last update. I still have not finished the documentation for the custom PCB assembly. I have just picked up on it again ..no ETA promise but it is high priority now and will be finished as soon as possible. There are a few very exciting bits of news regarding the x0xi0 and BC Audio that will be posted shortly, stay tuned. Here’s a few pics of some Full kits that have shipped recently.
Updates
October 6th, 2010I/O & Overdrive Install Manual Rev2
August 12th, 2010I completed the new Rev2 of the I/O & Overdrive Install manual. It’s only available as a PDF download. The online version will be ready in a couple days.
You may have noticed I updated all the schematics a few weeks ago to fix errors and bring to Rev2. They are also available for PDF download.
I’m still working on the Install manual specific to the custom x0xb0x PCB’s. It’s tricky concerning the correct order to do things and testing etc.. so it’s taking some time.
New Install manual, x0xi0 vs TB-303 comparison
June 29th, 2010The Install manual took longer than I hoped, it was a lot of work, completely revamped with many improvements including:
- all errors corrected
- test procedure added
- link to hi-res versions of each page
- pdf download
Next up is deriving the I/O Install & Full kit w/Custom PCB versions of the manual. Also , the Users manual, with block diagrams, is close to being completed
Below is a comparison to the 303. Some people had asked for more basic demos, and I went even further. I adjusted them at several settings where they sound identical…
There is also a hi-res version of the video here:

Custom enclosure & new support content
June 1st, 2010I have added a new entry to the support documentation in regards to clicking sounds, including descriptions and samples of clicking due to VCA offset & trigger signals.
I have completed a build of a x0xi0 kit using the Custom PCB Kit and a prototype of the custom aluminum enclosure. The enclosure shown is as the final parts will be except the two end panels are not fully anodized, and the rear silkscreen is non-existent as of yet. The enclosures will be expensive but they are perfect, small, and makes the x0xi0 extremely durable with the way everything mounts together. Taking feedback from x0xb0x users I kept all the same connectors on the rear I/O so DIN or Phone plug adapters are not necessary. A small run of enclosures will be happening at some point. If interested just get in contact, or wait for more details.
x0xb0x PCB Kits ready to ship
May 13th, 2010The last part for the x0xb0x custom PCB kits came on Monday and I have started packing kits.
I have also updated the Parts Lists and Bill of Materials sections of the website to include the new kits.
