x0xb0x number 263

[x0xb0x 263 upon arrival]
Faceplate, x0xb0x number 263. Rochester, NY. March 27, 2006.

I know absolutely nothing about music, electronic or otherwise, but a chance meeting with one of these things at MIT in November convinced me that I had to build one. It is a clone of the Roland TB-303 sequencer/synthesizer.

Three-0-threes are relatively easy to operate and get something pleasant...err, if you like acid trax...repeating what you did five minutes ago takes some practice. I don't remember ever being able to connect to a computer in the original though, unlike the x0xb0x which I believe has usb capabilities. That should make it easier to repeat.

Needless to say, congrats...I've been looking over Lady Ada's work for quite some time...she's got some impressive projects.

something unrelated i just remembered:

by the way, i noticed your continuum mechanics book sitting out while you were here, and it threw me for a second, because i didn't remember bringing my continuum mechanics book home from my office. for what it's worth, i thought it was a terrible, frustrating book, and the second half of our class mostly used turcotte and schubert's geodynamics instead.
