Hi everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve completed the engineering of a brand-new MB6582-inspired synthesizer, designed entirely from the ground up. While fully compatible with the classic Midibox Midibox SIDV2 architecture, this new design focuses on modern manufacturing, clean layout, and improved reliability. The name - "PHL8580" What’s New? Premium factory-made ENIG front panel PCB 4 PIC cores inside, maintaining MB6582-style operation All PCBs, including the front panel, PCB factory manufactured Support for ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, and original 6581 / 6582 / 8580 chips Clean, modern internal design with easy assembly Due to licensing, production and sales is currently limited to 10 units, therefore I will be offering 9 units for sale (I'll save one for myself). I am offering it here. The price is well below other available MB6582 assemblies on the market, without the SIDs its only 420 EUR, delivery from the EU: Actually, I want to ask the founders and core developers to broaden the production. What am I offering? As I see no major updates over few years, I want to add new fresh air to the development and so - If I receive permission to manufacture these synthesizers without listed limitations, I will: Developing and improving the software/electronics side of the project free of charge Donating financially wherever the original authors request Releasing the PCB sources for the new-engineered MB6582-compatible synths, as well as for my sammichSID and sammichFM clones, so anyone can build these legendary projects themselves. I will release everything including frontpanels, CAD files and so on - so everyone can assemble the devices at home. Creating a next-generation MB6582 on MIOS32, running on an STM32 core - a modern evolution of the classic design I will try to record some videos and publish on YouTube soon.

Hello everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve engineered a brand-new MB6582-style synthesizer, deeply inspired by the original Midibox MB6582 but redesigned completely from scratch for improved reliability, easier assembly, and modern component availability. Key new features: Premium ENIG front panel PCB - durable, professional finish 4 PIC cores onboard - full MB6582-compatible architecture Factory-manufactured PCB set, including the front panel Supports ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, or original 6581/6582/8580 chips Clean internal layout, solid build, and high-quality components Prices: Base unit: 420 EUR + shipping With Kung Fu SID set: 499 EUR ArmSID pricing available upon request. Availability: The license allows producing 10 units, so I’m offering 9 units for sale. 1 unit is in stock right now Additional units can be assembled in 3-4 weeks If I receive permission to sell more broadly, I plan to lower the price and release all design files as open source I will make a separate thread in Latest News or somewhere else Photos PCBs and components:

Hi! Answered in PM. Yes, sammichFM can be ordered by dropshipping. Only a bare PCB can be ordered currently. Also coming soon - a new MB6582-compatible synth Inexpensive, fully compatible, affordable, technology optimized Will make a new thread soon

DM sent

I assembled one more unit just in case if somebody wants to take sammichSID :)) Now in metallic-white acrylic case. Fully working and tested, comes with a simple PSU. Also the price for enclosure now is a bit more reduced so in total with ArmSID chips the synth can be offered for 160 EUR including shipping (within EU and UK; USA - negotiable)

New top as requested PM me please, or I can send the details as well.

Hi Still available. I'll send you the photos with yellow/gold cover in the morning or afternoon.

This is what is now available, tested it today. If you prefer reflective gold-yellow front panel, I can install it instead of black one. Can give it to you for 190 EUR incl shipping (inside EU)

Hi! Yes, they are. I just need to solder appropriate capacitors for your SID model(emulators work without it) I'll send more recent photos tomorrow.

I can repair it for some price if you want and it is still relevant. I'm located in Slovenia

Sure, will send PM later today. For sammichFM I have the project but not the bare PCBs. Can order them though

Here we go, I made a topic in fleamarket for sammichSIDs:

Hi everyone, For a long time I see that there is a constant demand for sammichSIDs, however there are only replicas from Hong Kong. I made my own sammichSID-compatible boards. I know that Midibox project is sort of non-commercial, so I do not plan to make huge profit, its just my hobby, and I want to make donations from sales. It would be better to completely agree with community and authors that I can make this synths as many as possible (and of course offer them for a good price) Everything is negotiable, I can donate and support the Midibox project from the sales - I really like it, I follow Midibox from 2008 Thus, I think I should give some life to this project again, so here is what I can offer now: - sammichSID compatible and looking like sammichSID synthesizer in red-black acrylic enclosure. Here are some photos: Price: 250 EUR with KungFuSID chip emulators(https://github.com/Sgw32/KungFuSID) 290 EUR with ArmSIDs Synthesizer is fully functional and was assembled 2-3 weeks ago. Features: - Glowing fluorescent buttons - Black-red stylish enclosure - Red LEDs - Engraving on acrylic top - Power supply is included I want to donate 10% from this amount(and from each sammichSID sale) to authors or to Midibox project. Please write to this topic, I'll contact you. I can make more of them if needed, please write in this topic if you are interested. I also have bare sammichSIDs PCBs for 15 EUR Also I am interested if there is any demand for MB6582 synthesizers and sammichFM. I have their designs too.

Try to replace sids with cheaper alternatives like swinsid

To prove that I have some PCBs here are the images of assembled sammichSIDs and sammichFM, and image of PCB of MB6582. Ideally, I would like to run a 10 pcs batch of MB6582 and for example donate 25% of revenue to Midibox project and to authors. If community and authors will approve it - I can make it. I made sammichSIDs so MB6582 would be better and more interesting. I'm just still curious if it is possible to buy originally expected enclosure. I think it is better to construct a new one using acrylic materials and probably just a PCB with a drawing for a front panel.
