yessir. Shipped out just before christmas.

@Johey, The PCB's are revision 3. I think the batch is #27/#28.

Happened to me more times than I'd care to admit :rolleyes:

Ah very nice! Encoder is now gravy. Thanks!

As a matter of fact, yes I did :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/muksys/sets/72157632275393853/

Yep. You can assign specific CC's to the knobs/buttons on a MIDI keyboard. The manual has all of the CC implementation

nILS, thanks for the quick response! thats what I thought on the bleedthrough. Not a biggie. one thing I did forget to mention. The encoder seems a bit flaky. When I am browsing patches, it will occasionally jump back or forward. Sometimes its only a couple patches, sometimes it could be as far as 50. I can change patches no problem with the up and down buttons. I double checked the solder joints and they look solid. The solder has nice flow on both sides of the pads. I suspect the encoder is bad. Would you know the Mouser part number so I can order a replacement? This is, of course, making tweaking a pain. But, I am rockin the ctrlr panel, so not all is lost :) Johey: bummer, but yeah, so friggin worth it!

Just want to say thanks for this! The build was pretty easy, other than putting the LED 595 sockets in backwards and finding out after I noticed the heatsinks were almost glowing red. No harm done though. Caught it in time. The 595's still work. Anyway, the Optrex LCD is amazing! I have one on my Ambika and aside from OLED, those are the best displays I've seen. The only bummer is one of my 6581's I lifted from a C64 I found for $5 at a thrift store about 8 years ago is bad. OSC 1 is not outputting. I've swapped the two chips around and the problem follows the chip. The other 6581 I got on eBay and it works just fine. Oh well, time to hunt down a couple 8580's. One thing I've noticed is there is a lot of envelope bleed. I read in a post on here somewhere that this is how it is and not much can be done about it. Is this true? Is there a noticeable difference between the 6581's & the 8580/6582's? Nothing that a little gating cant fix I guess. Can't wait to really dig into this thing. So far the sound is way better than I had anticipated. First time using an actual SID chip. -Adam

First time caller, long time listener... Has the sammichSID reached the end? I have put in an order for one and have not heard any word. Got a couple of SID's sittin, looking for a good home! Thanks for any info!
