Hi
I am brand new to the sammichSID, though I have played a lot with the sid chips on the commodore 64 using various bits of software. I have finally got my hands on a pre-built sammich MIDI box v2 but I am having problems, possibly newbie related ones!
I am using 2 genuine 8580R5 chips that were tested and working previously in my c64.
When I turn on the machine I hear sound but the screen shows 1***, which I understand is showing just the first chip active. When I go into the sid menu and try and change anything it says "its not there!", assuming it means that it is not recognising the 2nd chip. Both chips are 8580R5s, both with a pair of 22nf caps in the pin sockets next to the chips. The JP jumper is correct (horizontal).
What do I do next to troubleshoot this issue?
Also as a side note - I am controlling this via MIDI software and would like to know how to play the 3 voices on each chip indendently. Does the MIDI box only respond to 1 MIDI channel?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
