[SidControl Integration Only Project]

Personally I wouldn't doubt building one if I were gonna use it for gigs. A C64 is also a bulky thing to drag around, and it's old with all the negative sides of that fact.

And yes, you are right, the mbSID can be played without any control surface connected. Just midi in and audio out will do in that case. But if u are a synth guy, u will definetly appreciate a control surface in live situations - but there's no problems in adding this later on either... so...

Ah, ok. So you think an mbSID would be too bulky and fragile for carrying to gigs? Good to know.

I think I might look into the retrocade from Gadget Factory or the sammichSID. The sammichSID project seems to have ended but maybe I can find a used one on the forums? We'll see.

Thanks!

Same here... guessing I missed the boat?

Why would you want a SIDstation? sammichSID makes SIDstation look like a cripple :tongue:

I'd MUCH rather have a sammichSID. Is that project still active? I sent an email a few days ago and haven't heard back.

[Want to buy - sammichSID Kit or completed project]

Hello! I'm trying to find a sammichSID kit (I have a SID chip) or a completed sammichSID for sale. If it's reasonable, I'd even be interested in a SIDStation if anyone has one.

Thanks!

The midibox SID project requires you to build a power supply, a core module, and a SID module for the minimal configuration. The only part of the commodore it uses is the SID chip.

All of the information you need for this project can be found at ucapps.de

If you would simply like to have midi control of your SID chip without having to build any additional hardware, you can get a MSSIAH cartridge, which will simply plug into the back of the commodore and instantly allow you to make music.

Oh! Good to know, thanks! Does the Mssiah cartridge require using the Commodore 64 as the interface? Having to bring a monitor for the computer to live gigs is far too clunky. I emailed them several days ago but I haven't heard back from them.

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm wanting to start a Midibox SID project, but I only plan to control the SID synth with the SidControl VST. In my perfunctory reading, it would seem that I wouldn't need to add any synth controls to the hardware. Is this correct?

What would I need to do to my Commodore 64 to get it working with the SidControl VST?

Thanks!
