The issue is that I can't log into the WIKI with the same credentials that get me into here, yet I don't see any place to create a new account with the WIKI. I emailed Smash TV to get on the list at the WIKI, but I'm assuming it doesn't work like that. Any assistance would be appreciated.

@ajax What am I doing with them? Bankrupting myself, basically! Sadly, I mostly make hip-hop beats as of late (working with a talented young rapper as a little side project). So it's a lot of sampling on Octatrack and Machinedrum/Jomox stuff for me recently. I also did this for fun (Tosca had a remix contest on some web site. Never heard of the artist or the song, but someone proposed an Octatrack-only remix contest so I grabbed the stems and spent about 90 minutes mangling and arranging them. Note: I have yet to hear the original song. I've heard other remixes, and mine is clearly from someone who was not previously aware of the existance of the source material =) If I spent more time with it it could become something I like, but for now it serves to prove that I'm not just some insane collector who doesn't actually make music =). While playing it with a keyboard is a blast, I'm learning how to sequence my Ambika on the OT, and it's slow going for now (as is every new thing you want to learn how to do on the OT), and the Fizmo is in the mail and the SP1200 is hypothetical (I could trade a repair of the guy's Polysix and my Analog 4 + some cash for the SP, but I need to make sure I'm not just getting the SP for the novelty of it). He also offered to give me his DX7 that needs servicing, which I could fix up and sell for $400, so it might be worth it. He makes music for crap reality shows (I live in Los Angeles), and offered to show my music to his people and possibly get some freelance work doing stuff like that..... Recently (through the magic of turning down someone's trade offer for a Nord Modular Rack on CL), I was invited to join a duo going for what is being described to me as "Ghost-era Nine Inch Nails meets A Place to Bury Strangers". They have a lockout (They= a Singer and a gearslut guitarist with an ebbe un flutt and tons of metasonix stuff) and need a synth/drum machine guy who likes to toil in darkness (which is me). Have I mentioned I went to Law School? That education is really coming in handy! My part-time work with 3 startup companies is looking more and more like a smokescreen I'm using to convince myself I'm not spending ever waking moment thinking about music. So the demos will come- but I'm not Bethoven (or the guy from Yes!) ! I need a great hardware sequencer if I'm ever going to get up in front of a crowd and use multiple synths (I'd kill my inner music snob self if I got on a stage with a computer!). I emailed the contact link on Smash TV and requested an add to the list using my forum name on here. That seemed like the wrong way to go about it, it was just a shot in the dark. nILS, how should I properly cement myself on the list?

I am on the prowl for MIDIBox gear. I would love the satisfaction of a build, but I REALLY NEED a powerful MIDI sequencer and the waiting line for a build is daunting. Willing to pay well for a Seq. V4. Don't need the CV mod, would like the BLM. I also would love an MB, SID v2, or other synths (sammichSID as well) Willing to trade (with a heavy heart): 1. Mutable Instruments Anushri 2. Jomox Airbase 99 (I would have a funeral for it if I ended up parting with it) 3. Roland MV-8800 with full RAM upgrade and 40GB HD+ VGA out 4. TC Helicon Voicelive Rack+Mic 5. Strymon Timeline (*tear*) 6. Korg Kaossilator Pro+ (received as a gift, used once) Pics, demo vids, whatever you want for tradable items available upon request.

@nILS Well I emailed Smash TV about getting on the list (I can't seem to log into or make an account with the WIKI). Hopefully that works. If not I'll just cry myself to sleep every night until a magical genie delivers me a kit. @Altitude HI. I just ordered a Shruthi and the Polivoks filterboard. I'll have the Mutable Trinity soon!

Is this sold? And is this the kit for the full Seq. V4 (minus the boards?)

So, I've been prowling around these forums for many months and considering a MIDIBox build for even longer. I recently came into (too many) great synths/samplers and I'm dying for a hardware sequencer that can handle them (Mutable Anushri, Ambika, Ensoniq Fizmo, SP1200 with HxC, etc.). The sequencers on my Elektron boxes just don't cut it for multi sequencing. So, here I am. I put my name on the list. I'm hoping it doesn't take TOO long, but anything great is worth waiting for! On another note: I have a ton of SID chips laying around (stripped some C64s), and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the MB or any other builds I could get into with my chips (such as, difficulty of the build of the MB vs the Sammich, difficulty of acquiring parts, etc.) Also, any advice on the feasability of building one of those Bassline SIDs I see the vid of on youtube would be appreciated (I'd rob a bank if the vault contained one of those!). Thanks in advance, MIDIBoxers.
