[FM chip or spare soundblaster ?]

Any kind soul with one they are willing to part with ? I have 5 yac512's ( which will be more than enough if i dont screw up since i have to practice with smd soldering ) but i cant find old soundblasters nearby. I checked my local lists, oldest cards in sale are all audigy's or sb live!'s...

I will build it, definitely. I really like "dos" sounds, and with a few pedals and a filter it can sound really nice. One big plus for me is that i have little money but a bunch of parts and copper boards so i can etch myself. It really helps its single sided, i never managed to do vias in the diy kitchen

No, it isn't like modern kits. The project has been created 10 years ago and was intended to be built into a 19" case with a large display and many menu selection buttons + soft function encoders.

Smaller variants (such as sammichFM) are more difficult to use, actually it's better to edit sounds with the CTRL editor for these devices.

But i could manage it into a desktop like case. Aside from that, im puzzled by midi channels. Can i use all operators on one channel only, kinda like a regular, lets say DX synth ? 

Reading a user manual i see its somewhat like a roland d110 which i have, but nevertheless im going to build one :)

Hi people, after long lurking around, i deciced i need a FM synth in my gear. My question being, how does midibox fm works, which i cant find anywhere. Is it like modern kits ( shruthi , preenFM -  usage wise ) ? Excuse my broken english, i am going to use it mainly live, playing with a keyboard, one channel , switch presets on the fly, etc ?
