Just wanted to share how happy I am with the X0X modules — they seriously sound amazing!
What really surprised me is how much the claps remind me of the ones from the MFB Tanzbär drum machine by Manfred Fricke (which I used to own).
I’ve actually got a few fun stories about that machine and MFB too… maybe I’ll share them sometime 
Anyway, super inspiring modules — really brought back that gritty, punchy vibe I loved back then.

Back in 2022, I also built a Combinator device for Reason and sampled the Tanzbär. Check out the video: Tanzbar video
The funny thing was: the manual was almost impossible to understand, and many functions you had to figure out yourself — only to forget them again a week later.
The less funny part: Manfred Fricke, the mind behind it all, passed away in 2022. He had a truly unique approach to electronics — even his circuit diagrams were like their own private language. His son had the ambition to carry on MFB, but without a translator for Manfred’s creative chaos, it was nearly impossible. A brilliant legacy, wrapped in mystery.

Is this a XoX module for MM?
Been testing them today and they’re really solid.
In fact the MM has become a bit of a drum synthesis beast recently

So these X0X are a separate download somewhere for VCV? i don’t see them and i should have the latest 4ms modules, at least i haven’t gotten an update notification.
Right now, they are only available on the GitHub from what I can tell:

We’ll be submitting them to the VCV Library soon, just tidying up a few loose ends.
