  1. Hi Rob,

    Welcome. First question: are you building the MidiBox SID from scratch, or are you building the MB6582 variant? I personally recommend building the MB6582. You can purchase the main board PCB and control PCB from modularaddict.com, and it makes everything very easy. If you look at http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_6582_parts_list, you can get the list of parts. A while back, I edited a bunch of the wiki pages to add Mouser numbers, but I don't have access to the Wilba pages.

    I can probably pull up my Mouser order from a year ago and post that if you would like.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to set the voices of a drum track to different midi channels?

    I have a Digitakt that has audio tracks on seperate midi channels.  

    Hi, 

    Hopefully someone will chime in if I am wrong, but I don't think there is a way to send different notes to different channels within a single track. A couple of possible ideas would be a MidiBox NG (another STM core with MidiIO) that takes the drum track input, processes it, and then sends out different channels, or some kind of software solution that does it on your PC.

    (Or another MBSeq dedicated just to the Digikat! :)

  3. As always, it is good to test one thing at a time, so just hook up one LCD and see what you get. If you have the MBSeq loaded, you will get text on one LCD and an animated logo on the other when it boots.

    Once you get one LCD working on both ports, then add the second one. This will make it easier to isolate problems.

    Also - check the contrast and backlight trimpots, see if they are functioning properly.

  4. I got my acrylic panel cut at Ponoko for around $25 USD, because they had a $20 off deal for first time users. I also machined my panel for my MBSid on my hobby wood CNC machine. It turned out great. I just used decals for the labeling though.

  5. Here is the thread to check out: 

    From what I gather, the front panel is quite different, so you would need a new PCB and panel to upgrade. Of course you would also need all of the components that go on the board, and those are a big part of the expense (buttons, button caps, and encoders).

    As someone who just finished a SeqV4, I am contemplating selling it so that I can have the fun of making another one.

  6. Thanks guys,

    I ended up going with a wired meanwell 5V supply. I pull the + and - 12v for the AOUT from my eurorack powersupply. Everything is working great now. I used to get some pulsing of the backlight LEDs on the LCDs, but now it is rock solid.

  7. I can't help out too much, but maybe the way Wilba's Main Board for the SID is built would work here? Add a 2x4 pin header and wire the midi in from each core to one side and the other side to the midi in socket. Normally the jumper is on the first pins to communicate with core #1.  Then move the jumper to switch which core you are "talking" to?

    Just an idea.

  8. I can sell you one for $15 + shipping to Taiwan. They cost me 10.16 + 4.99 to get from Mouser.com. I have a blank one on hand.

    Edit: I can of course program the bootloader and MIOS on it - I have a PICKit 2
