Sounds fair. I'm pretty sure I'll have one of those, with Molex plug. You can add mine to jojjelito's box and we'll split the shipping. Right, jojjelito? :)

Thanks! :)

I'm considering options. When is the deadline for this?

This is a somewhat heavy thread for a newcomer like myself. Would someone care to sum it up? Is there a de facto PSU for an MB6582 with 8 SIDs? After a quick look at the pages of this thread I can conclude there is a discussion on switched or linear PSU. Until now I have only considered a linear variant, but there are apparently people who are happy with a cheap switched model like the Meanwell RPT-60B... Please someone, just tell me what to buy and I'll buy it. :) I live in Sweden and I have paid import taxes enough for this project already, so I really want to buy it within EU, preferably in Sweden.

Edit: Sorry, this post was by mistake.

Cool thing! Approximately, if you decide to make a complete kit with case, panels, boards and components, how much would it be?

I guess it might be controversial, but I actually like the design of this machine. Apart from the ethical aspect, I would consider buying one. That said, I think it would be great with a commercial option for those who want to have a MIDIBox SID but don't got what it takes to build one. Personally, I think I am able to assemble my MB-6582. At least I hope so, as I've recently found myself ordering parts for one. However, was there a pre-built option, I would have bought it, as my main goal for now is to make music. Part hunting and soldering is fun too, but that I can save for a project where the final product is less interesting and the build process is the point. So, T.K., my suggestion is that you create a fair commercial license allowing companies to build and sell machines based on your product, paying you a license fee for each sold machine. Still, of course, keeping the noncommercial DIY license option for those who love the sound of tin melting. Sorry if this is already discussed. I'm new to the MIDIBox community.

Thank you! I've now added an order. :)

I got an offer and I kindly declined.

And I would be happy to buy it. Sendign PM.

I bought from androSID on the flee market. He might have a few left, but I'm not sure about it.

Declaring interest! Sending pm.

Oh, so there is a next version coming up? Why? Anything missing on the old? Should I probably wait? (as if I could ;) )

No better than that? I don't want one anymore... Or better known as... Awesome! Very elegant solution. All eight chips will actually be used for goods. Now I'm convinced :). Ordered an eightpack of SIDs today as a first step. Can't decide which one to go for; the MB-6582 or the module based one... Matter of taste I guess. Will be neat to play SID with my MIDI enabled guitar by the way. :)

Cool! More reasons than "only" because you can. :) While speaking n00b, I have a follow up... You say you can use multiple patches at once if I snap it up correctly. Is every patch assigned to one MIDI channel each? How many patches can you play simultanously?

As mentioned in another thread, I'm considering building an MBSID of some kind. Currently the MB-6582 is the most interesting option. One thing that I wonder though is, can I really utilize 8 SID chips for anything good? Thats 24 channels! I haven't used any SID featured machine with more than one SID ever, so I have no idea of the posibilities it will arise. That's why I ask.

Oh, here is the thread right? :) Do you have knobs enough left to fill my need for the MB-6582 project mentioned in the other thread?

I've aldready bought 8 SIDs and got an offer for case and panels from julianf. Would there be any benefits to order knobs (or other parts) together in one batch? I guess not, since I live in Sweden, but you never know.

Nice researching there! Thanks! :) Have you completed with stuff you already had or is this a complete list? I can see there are no SID chips and no panels, so I assume you already had those at least? What about pot knobs? This MB-6502 is for four SIDs right? Can it fit eight?

Can I post a want to buy thread here? Let me try! I'm looking for an abandoned MIDIBox SID project or whatever reason you have to sell yours. :) I'm too lazy to hunt around for all parts. If everything, including case and panel, was to be bought as a kit then it would be fine. A shortcut would suite me good, however. I do have some SID chips and a nonfunctional VIC64 which gladely would lend me it's case if I find all other parts I need to build a module based one. But I'm opened to suggestions. Preferrably within EU to avoid customs and delays.
