A4 / AK with x0x Heart

I used the wiki: http://wiki.openmusiclabs.com/wiki/EuroAdapter

I can’t say it was easy or fast but I’ve had (and borked) worse kits.

@acidhouseforall or anyone, I have a problem to control CUTOFF and ENV MOD with A4. Almost all the range is covered between 1.8V and 2V, so it is not really usuable and it changes tune at certains values. Any idea?

strange… how did you wire ?

I simply soldered a cable on CUT OFF pin.

I forgot I didn’t trim CUT OFF frequency with trim pot, but I’m not sure if it’s the problem.

Whoa, Sezare56 asked a question… :grin:

I found the answer, thanks to GUEST from openmusiclabs.com on MUFF WIGGLER help, asking about J11 VCF CUTOFF CONTROL IN, I realised I used J3 CUTOFF CONTROL IN instead.
First recording ! FX and Sequenced by Analog Four, Analog Drive as distortion. And an lfo controlling VCF of course !

Thanks again to @acidhouseforall. :wink:
@jingo, don’t you think it is more acid than A4 ?
Anyway, great companion. A 2nd one in the same box is planed ! :sunny:

you sorted this, great :slight_smile:

Now, how about acid not from TB303 clones ? Can you guess what I used here ?

Digitakt, Digitone, Micromonsta ?

Signal path: loquelic iteritas -> mutable instruments ripples -> ryo optodist

#18

@ sezare56 yes, it is more 303-ish, but the A4 is also very good for acid :slight_smile:…

HEy Sezare56 !
What’s about the difficulty level for a beginner to this project ?
It’s absolutely my devoted budget and need…

#20

Salut Mat ! I don’t know, I did the basic project, with the PCB only.
Maybe @acidhouseforall can answer better than me for this project Eurorack project.

Do you know how to solder?

#21

I think I can solder !
Maybe will make some little exercices before on other more basic stuff.
The fear I can have would be more axed on the mistake I can eventually make in pieces to solder and respective appropriated places to…

Please, what is the difference between the only x0x heart and the combo of Pacemaker + x0x ?

The PCB you have is the only x0x isn’t it ?

Good evening :slight_smile:

#22

Obvious difference here. Same PCB.
http://www.openmusiclabs.com/projects/x0x-heart/index.html
On the video you can see a basic result.

With PCB only you have to buy and choose resistors, understand the procedure. I can tell you what resistors I ordered. Maybe less soldering, but more complicated. If you have the money, I think PCB + Pacemaker is easier.

#23

Obviously Pacemaker is for eurorack integration. If you have an eurorack it’s great, otherwise you can do just like sezare. The x0xheart itself is already assembled, you just have to add sockets and pots. Like I said, the Pacemaker is probably not a beginner friendly kit but I’ve seen much worse. Just take the time to read the instructions, solder with a decent iron and you should be fine.
