So, after all these months I messaged with C_04 A LOT (!) I must say this man knows what is going on in midiboxes. I sent him my box and he confirmed what was suspected in preview post - there were 2 chips in one box, the second one is opl3. We decided to make SID first and it's done already. I called it Giana :-) I was looking for name which would remind me the mood of '80 and would refer to typical C64 sounds. By the way I thik it's sexy to call this unit Giana. In its construction it is usual MIDIBOX SID and it was from beginnig, when I'v got it from a friend of mine. What I needed was a panel and an enclosure. So C-04 has built a panel and corrected some messy electronics and I've designed and built an enclosure with a help from my couple of friends. There are some imperfections in enclosure but this was my first job in this field so... not so bad I think. Design of this device is also a kind of '80 but not typical C64 style. It was inspired by other gear from this age including wooden sides, which brings a little bit of analogness ;-) Here is a kind of slideshow movie showing making of Giana. A soundtrack is totally played on Giana (with a couple of fx added from cubase). And soon the MIDIBOX FM should be ready so keep tuned :-) And once again thank you C-04!
