Hi

I was wondering if there is a way to make other firmware so you have a BASE line version of the LXR .
So you can buy 2 lxr s put different firmware on it and play some raw Acid .

I am a musiscian pasionated to the TB303 sound , i am working for a while with the LXR , the baseline sounds are so great , but always frustrated
There is only one line for baseline . The working of programming is perfect . If you are planning making a new version maybe a litle idea . The world of house,techno,acid is crying for a decent TB clone or something payable with an unique sound .
The LXR is has already unique sound, whats gonna be next

    Ahem, if it's a TB clone you are longing for the XOXBOX or a Cyclonix may be a better way to go. If you want it diy go for the xox, it's not more expensive than the LXR. Or if you don't want do it yourself go for a Cyclonix TT-303, they are used around 500 bucks, and better off than the original !

    I've been having fun with the volca bass. It's no 303, but it's all analog, costs $150 and comes fairly close. If you want a 303 sound you need to have analog vco and vcf. So having a 303 sound on the LXR would be neat, but it's not going to sound as good (in my humble opinion) because of the digital filter and oscillator.

    That said, I think it would be neat to have a switchable "synth" mode for two of the drum sounds. I don't think it's too far off, as I've been able to get some decent basslines out of my lxr.

    No No the TT bot has some bad revieuws, the DIY xox boxes are in y mind to. There is a new version of the TT bot hope this one is better. The LXR is just so good layed ot that makes me think, it wold be very nice to have a synth version of it . Only softwarewize , i dont know if that is possible but , it would be a great ste up one LXR as synth the other as drum . It doesnt have to be only 303 sound some moog and others to . I know its not analog but if you know what your doing its easy to camouflage the digitalty , gonna check that volca base

    The TT is good enough for the Devilfish mod. And both boxes i laid my hands on were absolutely flawless, compared to the last few TBs i had in my fingers. So i personally wouldn't give too much on a review of a "religious" object in the internet.

    what would be needed for a propper baseline voice?
    I think the voies 1-3 are quite close to a standard subtractive synth voice.
    Only an ADSR instead of an AD is missing.
    But a propper ADSR would need a different sequencer approach (gate length and glides...)

    I tend to agree with Julian : If you tweak your drum sound a little you can get really nice results for some TBish action and still have 6 voices left of percussive sounds...

    Maybe it is time for the community to start sharing kit patches :)

    I don't think ADSR would be needed for bass, I think AD is fine. Probably just a way to link filter cutoff to the amp envelope (ie how much is the filter cutoff influenced by the amp envelope).

    you can use one of the LFOs as a filter EG as a workaround.
    maybe even modulate the LFO depth with the note velocity for some TB like accents?
  • rudeogrudeog
    Thats true, or I guess you could play with the lfo mod depth in realtime, or mod the mod depth using another lfo.
