Open Music Labs has introduced a project to fund the production of the x0x heart Eurorack module.
The x0x-heart module is the analog synth section extracted from the x0xb0x (a TB303 clone), made small enough to fit the Eurorack format.
Here’s the official intro video:
Features:
- CV control of frequency, gate, accent, slide, env-mod, decay, and cut-off
- Switches for waveform selection (square and sawtooth), external/internal oscillator mix
- VCA and VCF outputs
- x0x-heart Front and Back
Includes:
- 10” Euro power cable (16 pin to 10 pin connector)
- Black anodized aluminum knobs with a diamond knurl pattern and two set screws (with slot heads and flat points)
- A .063” (1.6mm) highly durable satin aluminum Metalphoto panel with a black print
The x0x heart 303 clone for Eurorack is available for US $303 to project backers.
Ships out on March third??
I’m a 303 purist, honestly this cool piece of hardware is far away from a real TB sound …
I’m crossing my fingers for eurorack MS20 clone for $20 or better yet, a prophet 10 for $10
..303 has a down saw, someone goofed making video.
Sounds nothing like a x0xb0x and nothing like a TB303 in the video, beware!
909 and 808 going to be quite expensive with that kind of pricing strategy, but for 303 clone it right spot on ( even Roland got it ), for those who can’t afford real 3003
i’ve had the DIY version of this for about 2 years now and it can be made to sound like a x0x in certain settings (i A/B-ed against a x0xi0 because i dont have a tb-303) but the range on the filter can be quite limited – there is a thread on MW about that problem. not sure they fixed that on the production modules.
the video sounds very different because there is some overdrive on the output. check some youtube x0xheart videos additionally if you’re unsure.
be careful about hte lack of sequencer and check closely how many CV/gates you will need to run this thing. accent and slide info in addition of CV / gate is essential for the 303 sounds, of course

A little late, maybe? Btw a 303 without sequencer….hm…
Couldn’t they clone the modern TB-3? It would have been far cheaper
if it is a clone
BUT
smaller
would it not be called “”minie me””
Makes you wish they called it TB 101 instead.
Please let the 303 just die, move forward people this sound is annoying and so 90s.
303 is dead.
303 is used just for advertising instruments sounding like 303.
“Please let the 303 just die, move forward people this sound is annoying and so 90s”
ha the 303 sound will live forever it is the sound of a generation, one that has influenced music and continues to do so……………………….so no acid is definately not dead sorry . . .
