All is good, no worries, you just need to upload the MB6582 application

(setup_mb6582.hex)

to the master and slave cores:

Bye,

Peter

I thought it was something simple like that. :rolleyes:

I'll take care of it and tell ya how it goes.

Thanks again!

Amazing. I think it works. The only snag I had was forgetting to put the jumper in at J11. After that, it seemed to boot up just fine.

I've yet to get a sound out of it (slight drawback), but I think that's more my inexperience with the operating system than anything else. Just playing a midi keyboard into it doesn't seem to get it going. That being said, I'm about to delve into the use of MIOS.

I'll post pics and more thoughts when I get a little more time.

Thanks for the help and for putting up with me. I can't believe it's alive!

Congrats! Great build, hope you enjoyed it! ;-)

Hitting the "play" button on the top right should sound the currently active engine (output only on the respective outs, or on the mix out)... there is also the possibility, that the lowpass filter is tooo low, try turning it up, some patches may be optimized for the 6581sids, if you have 8580 sids, you may have to adjust the default filter cutoff value... other than that i´d suggest you upload the demo patch bank with many nice sid patches :)

Goodbye for now and lotsa fun with your fantastic new synth!

Peter

Another potentially stupid question:

Do I need to put the MB-6582 into a SysEx receive mode to receive the data using the SysEx tool that comes with MIOS Studio? If so, how do I get to it?

Thanks

can only recommend to use Rutgers Patch Librarian, easy to use, you don´t have to switch anything on the MB-6582, just upload the patches or the full bank :). Won´t work under Macos 10.7+ though: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid/v2_editor/MBSIDV2_Editor_v0_5.zip

Thanks!

of course I just upgraded to 10.7... Maybe I can try it on my wife's laptop... hmmmm
