I just finnished building an Anushri and let me say, it sounds f’n realy awsome ! Amazing mm filter, I’m impressed.
Anyway, just thought I’d bump this thread and add that I would be more than happy to build allmost any DIY kit for anyone preferably in Australia.
This is my 10th kit now with 100% results (I have a background in electronics).
Allthough some kits are still quite expensive, most are well worth it.
Hey gang, can someone with an LXR clear something up for me?
Can you import samples to the SD card?
How does this work? I’ve read that the unit has a limited amount of sample memory for like 10 drum samples or something.
I can’t find anything in the manual, but read something about it on their forum. This looks like a really cool unit.
Was just checking out @neilbaldwin 's site and am going to have to pick on some Octatrack end cheeks I think!.
Might also have to inquire about an LXR if I ever take the leap?
You put the samples on the SD card and then they show up in the OSC waveform selection for the desired voice.
Thanks! Is there any documentation or vids I can check out for this?
The manual is still catching up with all the new features being added. I think this is the most current:

But I would go through the forum also because there are still a lot not listed.

Here are some soundcloud demos with samples
Really appreciate it @tsv ! Reading through the forum right now and finding everything in bits and pieces. I’m just really impressed with the sound I must say. I wish there were more videos of this thing! I think I’ve peeped them all by now!

Gun for hire? You’re in Melbourne no?
True.
Whats your flavour ?
Custom cases for these would take the lxr to the next level!
Ok, I’m probably going to get blasted for this but is this the poor man’s machine drum? I mean it seems VERy versatile and, from what I’ve heard, would give a MD or a nord drum a serious competitor? Does it fall short in some way?
Nice!!! Is that ur handiwork? I especially like the engraved wood sides. Then again, a used MD must be cheaper than that pimpness;-)
So what’s up with loading samples?
Look up to my first post about sample loading.
There are a lot of similarities with the MD. There’s parameter locking, morphing, extensive modulation and a performance mode.
Sonically it sounds more Hi-FI and punchy than an MD and easier to get a good sound in IMO. It only has 7 tracks and they are engine specific not freely assigned. It can’t sample so it’s closer to a Non-UW but with limited sample playback and on-board transient samples in addition to the main OSC. The distortion and SRR are really good too.
Unlike the MD it does allow you to turn off quantize and has micro-timing per step. Independent track lengths but only 16 steps per pattern. You can’t play the triggers. Step write only but you can program from external MIDI with velocity.
Those are pretty big bummers. Seems like the LXR gets updated a lot, you’d think 64 step patterns and live programming from triggers would be way at the top. I wonder if there is something technically holding back these features.
Thanks for the vid @J_CSelector !
I wish that was mine, see this;

I am in the process of making something similar for my Anushri .
Here’s another cool DIY drum synth project. Has a video and looks pretty easy. And you can’t beat the price!
To the OP:
look what you’ve done. I was happily unaware of the LXR and you just triggered my GAS for it. Now I will have to find a place somewhere to sneak it in my recently developed eurocrack SDIY habit…
To tsv: last night I scooped through the manual and this beast should have 8 substeps for each step, so this counts up to 128 steps, no less.
On the paper there are some über cool features and the developer seems pretty agile and responsive to user requests.
Add to this the CV expansion with 6 trigger outs an (!!!) Cv trigger in (!!!) and this machine to me has quite a bad ass of potential.
Yup, I’m afraid I am done.
