I´ve almost managed so finish my Double (soon to be triple) Sid with CS. So far i´ve found the solution to the things i´ve messed up, but i cant seem to figure this one out. I´m using a 2x40 LCD and need to configure the additional selectbuttons 6-10. I´ve connected them to sr10 and compiled this code: [pre] //cut, more code up DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Dec, 1, 0 ; only valid if rotary encoder not assigned to these pins DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Inc, 1, 1 ; (see mios_tables.inc) and CS_MENU_USE_INCDEC_BUTTONS == 1 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Exec, 1, 2 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel1, 1, 7 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel2, 1, 6 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel3, 1, 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel4, 1, 4 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel5, 1, 3 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel6, 10, 0 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel7, 10, 1 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel8, 10, 2 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel9, 10, 3 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel10, 9, 5 ; define this if CS_MENU_DISPLAYED_ITEMS > 5 //Cut, more code down [/pre] Is there another place that i need to tell mios to use sr10? I´ve set i to use a 2x40 display in main.asm and the display works fine, i´ve also tried to set the buttons on sr9 instead and that works fine (but the other buttons I connect to sr10 (or sr11 for thet matter) doesn´t work) Any response is much appreciated!!! :) js

Thanks alot, Now im able to download ;) I´ve only tried it a bit (as im busy painting the apartment) but I almost love the thing already. Using cubase this thing make it a lot easier to Automate the Sid. I do have a small suggestion (hope you don´t mind some feedback :) ) I´d think it would be a great feature if it was possible to turn off (an ekstra button or so) the CC-messages when you press start, stop and so on. This would make it easier to use the internal presets in the sid. It would be nice to be able to you the internal presets and tweak the sounds with the SidControl without havint to create the presets from scratch in the sidcontrol. Besides this, everything seems to work pretty perfect!! :D :D you diffently made a nice pice of work!! :) js

Hey this sounds great!! Can´t wait to try it out... Having some trouble with the password-thingy on the webpage, but i´ll try again later.. Your othe VST on the page sounds pretty cool too, looking farward to try that out too ;) js

Hello, did you ever finish this projct? I´ve been wondering if I could manage to do the same thing, and I´d relly like to learn from your experiences and maybe even get the source code. Thanks alot in advance js

I know a book called "Maximum Midi - music applications in c++" and it´s quite good. But as you might have guessed it´s in C++ (but i only see that as an advantage) js

Thanks alot for caring, and im glad that I found the problem before before I caused more trouble than nessary :) I just uploaded a few pictures if you like to see the wonder :) http://212.242.57.117/nissehytte/sid/ my first sid is in the c64 case and the 2nd in the box with the controlepamel. The last pictures shows the box and the build the sids into. I´ve already midified the keys. So now it´s just putting the things together and make it look nice :) (underneath the keys is my midified organ (a nice toy) :) js

Ok, now i´ve found the problem: I missed to program the slave ID I thougt that that was done by choosing the right siD-.syx file. I couldn´t get the file uploadet but worked fine after i´ve used the change ID app. Thanks again TK for this nice instrument, and always beeing helpful. js

As for as I can see in midiox the master does send a sysex block when i change the patch. I´ve also tried reinstalling the sid software on both the master en the slave, bu still no luck. js

The slave keeps playing after i´ve changes the channel the master stops. There´s no change i switching the patches from here.

Treied both from the main menu and from NI´s B4 software via program change. Edit: If it´s any help, I´ve just tried with the bankstick on the slave and changed patches via B4 and now the slave can change patches, it doesn´t change through the main menu..

A bit sid problems again... I´ve made a 2nd core and Sid modul an a simple control surface but i´ve got a small problem. When i change the preset patch is only the master that changes patch, the slave stays on the other patch I do get sound from the 2nd sid when i enable the sid and the link. Im also able to edit the sound parameteres with the control surface. but cant change the preset patch... Im probaly missing something simple, any ideas? thanks alot js

By now i´ve midified my old organ and made my midibox sid using breadboards only. I use a combination of bridges on the kobber side and short wires (wiith one stiff connector in the the middle) Don´t use too long wires and think about the order you mount them. I think it´s a good start to make the first boards on breadboards cause you get a good and deep insight of the circet. A good place to start practice is to build the symectric stuff like the din module. js

Uhhh that thing look nice!!! :D

I want to share my expience buying stuff from these two... It´s the best service you´ll ever get!! Even though im an absent-minded dane who had to make my order several times before i managed to order the right things. I got all the help I could ask for and even more. .. (telling me how much money i´ve mailed to them and that i´ve had another 10Euro to buy parts for) :) Anyway good service!! :D sorry Mike, but im probaly going to use your shop again some time.... greets js

Uhhhh, that last update was perfect... Makes everything just a bit easier :D Thanks alot for your programming!! Have a merry Crhistmas and a happy new year!! :D js

hmmm seems like TK email doesn´t like mine, íll try again for the next collection then... js

I´ve been using it a bit more and i have a suggestion for another feature. It would be great if it was possible to select some patches from the sid and save them into a single syx file. I needed shis feature today when i was sending syx files to TK, i and to make several syx files to awoid including the syx files. But the again this is a small thing and not something there´s need very often :) The app works wonders for me!!:D js

Thank you very much for making this tool. Have only just tried it a bit but everything seems to work perfect. :D Good work!! :D:D js

No ideas yet, but if you need some inspiration om making the menu layout I suggest to take a look at the DX7mkII since it´s also got a 2x40 display (which makes it much easier to program than the first DX7 - got em both :) ). If you haven´t got acces to one and need inspration on how to display sertain funktions I can take some pictures of their layout on the DX7mkII. Just in case it would be helpfull.... :)

Im having trouble trying to sync the sid to Cubase sx2. I´ve tried to set the sid to sync the wavetable using both jsynlib, controller 125 on a midikeyboard and controller 125 in Cubase. As far as I know cubase send out the midi clock (the light on the midi output flickers during playback when I set cubase to transmit midiclock. I´ll be happe for any help... Thanks alot!! js

do you know that you need to use a 20MHz with the PIC16F and a 10 MHz with the PIC 18F, if not im pretty sure that´s the problem... good luck!! js

ok, thanks alot!! Then I get it, was beginne to be afraid that I didn´t understand anything at all :) Thanks again!! js

ok but still not quite there.. Can you connect 32 buttons to a single DIN module? Doesn´t you need a DINx4 like this: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_dinx4.gif to connect 32 buttons? Thaks for the help and im sorry that im so slow at understanding..... :-[ js

Ok now I don´t undestand. I thought at it was only possible to connect 8 buttons or 4 encoders to a single Din module? How do toy assign the SR´s to connect more than 8 buttons a DIN module.. Thanks alot for your help js

Ok, I think I get it. So could assign the last selection buttons to a third Din modules pins like this?: DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel6, 3, 0 ; DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel7, 3, 1 ; DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel8, 3, 2 ; DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel9, 3, 3 ; DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Sel10, 3, 4 ; Hope i got this right :) Thanks alot for your quick and helpful response!! js
