I'll be the first on to tell you, I'm a total noob at this MIDIbox thing. I just caught on to what's going on here, and I've been instantly hooked. Here's why I'm seeking you guys out:
I've been planning on getting a HARDSID 4U for a while now for primary use in my little home studio music gig thing I do. Finally decided that now is the time and I was nearly ready to take the plunge. I coincidentally also switched over to Mac as my music machine, and after seeing that Mac support for the HARDSID is non-existent, I was fairly crushed. I've been using MSSIAH carts on two C64's for a while now and while they are very cool standalone, as a dedicated external piece of hardware it's a pain to get setup, not to mention I don't want to harm the C64's during travel or a gig. Looking for alternatives, I found the MIDIbox and all of the wondrous things it can do.
Here's where I need some direction: I looked over the MIDI SID Walkthrough (http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_walkthrough.html), and although quite a bit of it goes over my head, I'm a fairly fast learner, and not too bad with a soldering iron. Basically, I'm looking to build a MIDIbox that allows me to control the parameters of two SIDs in a single box. I don't need any control panels, or anything. This is to be a strictly standalone audio module.
Any suggestions for a newcomer?
