  1. I was just about to dig into a Seq V4 build when I started to see mention of a V4+ in the works. After some reading I was under the impression that to run the V4+ one would only have to update their firmware on a V4 machine, but further reading has led me to believe that the V4+ might actually be its own thing with interface changes, yada, yada. If the former is true I'll proceed with a build immediately, but if it's the latter I'll have to consider waiting a bit until the project is ready to roll . . . or maybe there isn't yet a definitive answer to this question? 

  2. Hello all,

     

    I've encountered a problem while attempting to sequence my sammichSID from Logic Pro 9. Until now I've always played the sammichSID by hand (well with an external MIDI keyboard run through Logic Pro and then to the sammichSID). Today when I tried sequencing the sammichSID from Logic I encountered an odd problem. The Sammich appears like it's receiving the MIDI notes (the lights change and dance exactly as I'd expect them to given the MIDI notes programmed), but it makes no sound. Now if I change patches while it is being sequenced with MIDI notes suddenly it'll make sounds from the incoming MIDI notes like it should until one MIDI region ends and another begins. At that point it goes silent again (while the lights continue to indicate that the MIDI notes are being received), until I change patches again at which point it makes sound again until the end of one MIDI region and the start of the next. It seems that perhaps Logic is sending some kind of message at the head of each MIDI region that's muting the output of the Sammich, but I can't find any Program Change messages or SysEx within my MIDI regions that would do this. While my solution may reside within Logic Pro, I decided to post this issue here first because it only happens with my sammichSID and not with any of my other synths - making it a Sammich-specific problem.

  3. Such an option isn't available, therefore you haven't found it.

     

    You could enable it in the firmware: open main.inc, search for:

            ;; initialize the integrated MIDI merger
            movlw   MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_DISABLED       ; should be disabled for a synthesizer
            call    MIOS_MIDI_MergerSet
    

     

    and replace it by:

            ;; initialize the integrated MIDI merger
            movlw   MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_ENABLED
            call    MIOS_MIDI_MergerSet
    

     

     

    Thereafter build a new .hex file

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    Thanks Thorsten . . . Beer!!!

  4. These extensions works only with special 'MIDIbox' SwinSID firmware version. Nevertheless your firmware is definitely much more close to real SID than the one reviewed by TK some time ago. It features e.g. ring modulation, improved waveforms and supports all filter modes.

     

    Is this special "MIDIbox" SwinSID firmware version available for the Nano SwinSID that is sold on the sinchai.de page here? Or is it only available for the older SwinSID X2 using TDA1543 DAC?

  5. Alright good to know, I would like to do this, but dunno if that is possible with a sammichSID.

    If I would be able to switch the port between THRU and OUT mode in software that would be a better solution for me. Is that a possibility or is it something routed in the hardware?

    I would also like to use my sammichSID MIDI OUT port as a MIDI THRU port instead . . . Did MissingSense's question above ever get answered?

     

    I've dug about the menus to see if I can do this myself, but so far without any luck. 

  6. Hi, I can't seem to download the PDF manual from any of the links supplied here. The top two simply fail and when I try the link to the downloads section I get a page telling me I don't have permission. If anyone could email it to me I would be extremely grateful. w.james.meagher AT gmail DOT com Cheers, James

  7. Hello all,

     

    Since I missed the boat buying a sammichSID kit directly I thought I'd ask here if anyone has a kit they've never gotten around to starting or finishing that they're ready let go (to someone who will build and use it!) My preference of course is an unstarted kit - I've gone down the road of tracing other people's mistakes before . . . I seem to be better at solving my own mistakes quickly . . . but I'm not in the position now to be too choosy.  :hmm:

     

    I have my own SIDs,  but if someone's got a machine partially built with SIDs already installed I'll consider buying it all together from you. 

     

    And of course if someone has a completely finished kit they want to sell I'll consider that too. 

     

    I'm in Canada but am happy to buy from another country/continent. 

     

    Cheers,

    James
