Hi, i just finished assembling my sammichSID PCB and during voltage tests noticed, that instead 12 V i have almost 20V on every pin marked in orange in building guide. 5 V & 9 V are OK. Is it problem, if I'm going to use 6582 & low power 5V LCD ? Do You have any idea, what can be wrong ? I'm going to recheck all PCB elements... EDIT: I switched power supply from 12V DC to 9V DC, and now I have 13,4 V on every pin where should be 12V. 5V & 9V is still OK...

The matte acrylics looks really good, much better then glossy :o I’m ok with every color of panel, but if I get mate black, I’ll be more then happy. How do you fill engraving ? Whot kind of paint are You using ?

:o Great work ! I'm definitelly in for a kit with sids.

There will be new wersion of hardsid: http://www.hardsid.com/ Idea of playing output of another VSTi thru SIDs voleme register is really weird... PS. This time I did search forum before sendig the post ;)

Ups, sorry :)

Interesting project, should be easy to use with midibox: http://www.soundwidgets.com/stribe/

No, this page is in japanese... You may translate it to english using http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=ja|en. BTW. I'm also trying to get one of this beauties on ebay… :)

Hi, no need to reverse enginering - You can find simple solution on this site: <http://homepage2.nifty.com/rjb/cmu800.htm> Best Regards, Przemek

Wow, now it costs about 180$ more, then on ebay...

Another MidiboxSID on allegro (biggest auctions site in Poland). Probably it's one bought from ebay... http://www.allegro.pl/item257225154_sid_6581_analog_synth_okazja_.html

Hi, I'm interested in 1 Base PCB and 1 CS PCB. Best Regards, Przemek

HI, try this software: http://inkscape.org/ - really good vector based graphic editor for linux, similar to Corel Draw. If it will help, i can print panel template from midibox site to PDF or bitmap and send it to You. Best Regards, Przemek

I'm confused... looking on bd50xg doughter board: analog GND is definitely separated from digital GND, but it's impossible to guess whether PIN 8 is connected or not. Unfortunately I don't have soundcard with waveblaster socket and I’m not able to activate daughter board :/ From the other hand: there are options 'receive bank' & 'transmit bank' in XG Gold editor. Don't know if it works with db50xg or not. Probably works with sw60xg / mu10 ...

There is a midi out signal on PIN 8. http://www.mupro.de/index.shtml?page=/wblast.htm Probably used also by Roland or Korg waveblaster cards ?

As I remember db50xg in QS300 mode has bank of 8 or 16 slots for user patches. Midi out might be usfull for storing patches in sequencer or in midibox memory.

db50xg can emulate QS300 sounds. Check this site - http://www.midiweb.de/ - there is a program called 'XG-Gold' - IMHO best editor for db50xg. As You can see on the screens, there is a lot of things, which can be controlled real-time (4 parts, each with independent LP filter with envelope etc...). In fact i was thinking about building dedicated midibox surface for db50xg in QS300 mode, but I didn’t realized this plan so far...

Panowie, witam i od razu mam pytanie: gdzie w Polsce (najlepiej w warszawie) mo?na wykona? profesjonalny panel czo?owy ? Nie bardzo wiem, czego szuka? i ile taka przyjemno?? mo?e kosztowa? ??? Pozdrawiam

Yes, the reason of the problems was javabug. With midi midi-yoke/midi-ox everything works fine. Thank You Thorsten :-)

Hi, I have a strange problem with JSynthLib. When I start the program everything works fine, but whet I try to modify envelope (only envelope, knobs and other controls works fine), jsynthlib starts to react very slowly. After that it’s impossible to edit patch. Only solution i have found is to close program and run it again. This is probably software/configuration problem connected with my new computer. I'have tested 3 versions of JSynthLib and always the same result - not only in Midibox sid editor, but also in other editors with envelope control. Maybe somebody had the same problem and can halp me ? My setup: Computer: WinXP Java: 1.5.0_06 Midi: jamaha cbx driver (serial) / Emu 0404 BestRegards Maniac / Przemek

'Hidden' QS300 mode works on db50XG, SW60XG (db50XG on ISA soundcard - very noisy) and MU10 (standalone module - hard to find, noisy when you use audio input). IMHO db50xg is the best option - it offers better sound quality then sw60xg/mu10 and it's easy to make it 'standalone' ;) db50XG does not have audio input. Unfortunetly it's impossible to recreate QS300 sounds on MU50/80/90/100 :(

d2k -> thanks for this link, it is, whot i was looking for :) The other question is how to translate midi commands into MPU-401 (whot should i send to the soundcard). If somebady has informations about MPU-401 programming and/or sw60xg soundcard, please let me know :) BTW. ISA bridge is a very good idea - fm synt combined with sid synth... and sb live card for effects... :o
