Last year I godt mid Sid up and running and now id like to extend it with another sid. Also i´d like to make a control panel for it. I like to make a step B version of the control panel with the leds conneted to J5 but with a 2x40 lcd instead og the 2x20 whown on the schematics here: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/2x20_enc_multi_w_j5.pdf Is the possible without too much programming-knowledge or sould i buy a 2x20 instead? Thank you all for any help! :D js

Im pretty sure that it´s not possible to have more than one input on a gameport. Build two to-gameport boxes i´ve done that and it works great. Then and another cheap sound card or if you are not already uning the gameport on the motherboard, use that. js

ups forgot to mention that i use cubase as seq and only reason for the drumsounds. so... :)

Thanx alot!!

Hey i´ve just heard some of your mistakes :) Am I compleatly wrong in thinking that they are not nessearly complete tracks, but more parts tracks that havn´t been made yet? Anyways I like most of what I hear, you´ve got some impressive soundscapes and crazy ideas :D. I´d really like to hear som finished tracks from you.. :) js

I think that it might be this part or some of the parts near it that is the faulty one(s). The 9v and 5v on the board doen´t measure any power eventhough I have a powersupplay or battery connected. And as far as I can se the diode (if that is what it is) is a part of the powercircut. I´ve tried google to try to find the schematics, but without any luck, but if you got it, it would be a great help :)

I was trying to fix my Boss DD-3 delay pedal. The component on the picture was melted out of the circutboard. It looks like a diode of some sort, but im not sure. Does anyone know what i can replace it with? Any help and suggestions would make me :D Thanks alot for any help!! (sorry for the bad quality, but i had to use my scanner for the picture :-/ ) js

It looks fine here. Are you sure that you haven´t placed your Sidbox on the control botton on the keyboard by mistake while using the scrollwheel? ;) If you got problems with other pages too, this could be it. js

Powersuppley ;)

Nothing like what I expected at all..... I used to be a guitarplayer in a metalband. I like the industrial element but like said before I´d like it to evolve a bit more. I´ve got the songs in my head added some fast breakbeats. (Im a sucker for breakbeats... :) ) And again; -damn the missing sid. I would have loved to hear another Sid in action. js

I guess theres a mistake in the partlist. You need two 1nF´s as in the board design. I was missing one when I was out shopping for my sid module. js

Here a short track from me. The sounds are made with my TK Sid :-* (and a juno 106 and reason). It´s a bit crazy drum & bass thingy, and you can get it here: http://212.242.57.117/nissehytte/gastron/hveps.mp3 Hope at least someone like it..... js

Another dane... This one is from Ã…rhus, Denmark! js

I would double check that the transistors are connected correctly. When I build the JDM I misread the little drawing in the corner of the schematics and connected the transistors upsidedown. The testing results I got was pretty much the same as you got. Good luck js

To make the pads themselves are no problem and they are pretty cheap (Look here: http://go.to/edrum ). The controller to convert the hit into a midinote (with velosity) is another story. js

I use a m-audio audiophile for audio. For extra midi in/out i use a yamaha 192 and the onboard gameport. Works fine. js

I Havn´t build the MIDIBox64, but i´ve build other of TK´s projects using the PIC16F877I/P So that should work. js

I´ve tried the same prob ones. I´ve burned the bootloader to the pic again and then it worked fine. As for the resistor im not sure, but I can´t see how that should cause the problem you discribe. Good luck!

Not that I use it, I measure. But here a resistor chart: http://members.tripod.com/~schematics/resistor.htm happy scavenging!! js

If I had a camara I could show you a really hairy one... Or even worse; -My core and sid module made on a vectorboard ;) js

Thanks for your responce, I am sure at I did call the MIOS_Ain_Muxed function, just to make sure I tried to call the UnMuxed one and everything was much worse than it was before. I tried the ain64_din128_dout128_v1_1 test app. When I do, the core sends out loads of CC messages. I guess that that´s because the program opens 64 ain´s and i´ve only connected one ain module. I´ve connected pic-pin 3, 4 & 5 to ground. Is it  possible that my trouble is because I havn´t connected pic-pin 7, 8, 9 & 10 to ground. Does that make a difference when I´ve only opend the first 8 pot in sid_init.inc: ;; initialize the AIN driver movlw  0x08   ; use 8 pot call   MIOS_AIN_NumberSet call   MIOS_AIN_Muxed  ;  service multiplexer interface is there a similar way to open only 8 pots in the test app instead of all 64? That way i´d might get a better idea of what´s happening. Thanks again for your help!:) js ************ EDIT: I just tested ain64_din128_dout128_v1_1 with cubase. It pretty clear that the random CC messages are sent on all between cc32 & cc63 that probaly stop once i connect pic-pin 7, 8 ,9 & 10 to ground. Then I can only hope that that helps the trouble with the sid :-/ ************ Edit II (im sorry that this is becomming a long post...) Now I grounded pic-pin 7,8,9 & 10 and now ain64_din128_dout128_v1_1 only send messages when i turn a pot :) But the problem with the sid is the same :-/ js

Now i´ve got the thing working with 8 pots (connected thru a ain x1 module) programmed to control the arp, portamento etc. But I have one problem: If i turn one pot the sid recives the position from the other post. Fx if the arpeggiator pot is positioned in the middle and i switch to a program with no arpegio and tur the portamento pot the arpeggiator get turned on. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Would it be better to skip the ain module and connect the pots directly to the pic? Thanx alot for the help so far! :) js

Hi Thorsten, i´ve build a 1xain and tried you code but i couldn´t get it to work. Then I tried to call MIOS_AIN_Muxed instead of MIOS_AIN_UnMuxed, and then everything worked fine. Is it right that you need to use: MIOS_AIN_UnMuxed: -when you don´t have a ain module (and connect post direct to the pic.) & MIOS_AIN_Muxed: -when you use a ain module. anyways now i´ve got controle.. :) js

If you write where you live then it would be easier, it doesn´t make much since to send around the world if somebody nearby is ready to help you. That saves a lot og time and shipping. Anyway if you live near denmark, pass it on to me and i´ll do it. Edit: I just saw the schematics for the midibox plus, if you build that on a vector board, theres no problem building the jdm on a vector board too. It would be alot faster, and the burner i a nice thing to have. js
