nILS

The unhandled calls aren't an issue (hence the Info marking). I'll try to have a look tonight.

Technically it works with any app supporting hardsid. Unless of course the hardsid fellas changed the spec again...

Very nice! :thumbsup: Moved to MIDIbox Of The Week :flowers: Would you mind sharing some details about the case?

Invoices have not been sent yet as finishing college, moving and starting a new job pretty much took up all available time in the last weeks. I hope I'll get my time management sorted soon though :)

It's sad that you won't finish it - hopefully it'll find a nice new home :) (That's a "yes it's okay to sell")

IIRC you can get to all the extra features via the menus.

Very cool of you!

I am waiting for the last confirmations to come in, and just so my life doesn't get boring, I am in the middle of moving :-)

Um... Why on earth are you ranting?

It's so transparent you don't even see it!

Absolutely not. Mike sells home-etched single sided PCBs that need some wire-bridges, while Smash sells pro-made double-sided PCBs with silkscreen that don't need any bridges. The circuits used are the same, so both will work, Smash's PCB are a lot easier to work with though.

Yep, 32 is correct.

Cats are actually filled with stain. Easiest way to get to the kitteh's natural stain is to run it over with a car.

Haven't had a closer look at the schems, but picked up one question in them: Yes you can have encoders and buttons on the same DIN module. As you correctly noticed, encoders need 2 pins, buttons need 1 (hence 14 + 9 * 2 = 32). Encoders HAVE to start on an even pin (if you count from zero) ie, 0, 2, 4, 6, ... Bankstick: Unless you want to store some kind of patches, you don't need one. Since a bankstick doesn't require anything but the IC itself, it's easy to add later on if you feel like it.

If you use multiple cores and simply merge the MIDI outs the added latency will be tiny enough to ignore. I haven't done much work with multiple cores, so I can't really give you an exact answer though. Cost: There's lots of hidden cost in DIY. Typically the electronics are cheap, the UI isn't; Pots, encoders, buttons and (most obviously) the panel add quite a bit of cost. But, as you already noticed, it's not really as bad since you can spend manageable amounts of money at a time over a fairly long period. I wouldn't worry about possible noise on the faders/pots until you actually run into problems. Tinfoil may help but shouldn't be necessary.

No. The LCD is completely wired with... wires :)

1) Yes 2) You'll only need to rewire the modules<->core connections, not the entire thing, yes. 3) It shouldn't as long as your grounding is decent :) Usually the switches in the pots are not electrically connected to the taper. Which means you can still separate analog/digital ground. 4) There's different approaches. You could use multiple cores, or wire the inputs/outputs in a matrix, or... No worries about not fully having understood *everything* before asking, that's next to impossible. It's quite obvious you've done your homework :flowers: One thing to keep in mind though - DIY is in no way cheaper than buying the ready-made box. It's definitely more satisfying, more personal, more customizeable and fun, but in no way cheaper ;)

IVAR severly roxx!

You just failed math. 15 Waldorf knobs per day (or 0.01041666... knobs per minute) :thumbsup:

#4 is connected to the ground plane.

Dat is 4/5ths basement cat 1/5th cieling cat breed, very rare cuz usaully da basement cat dna is so strong it kill da ceiling dna. Da cat in da picshure prolly doenst exist, it looks shoppd I can tell from sum of da pixels and having seen quite a few cats in my tiam.

Who says it's not doing anything? It's producing sound, constantly. Since the registers are all filled with 0, nothing audible is going on, the chip is as active as it could be though. No, you should worry less in general. The SID datasheets aren't the most reliable source of information as it contains quite a number of errors anyways. Then again, you worry about the current draw - which is prefectly withing the boundaries - but don't think about what happens if you only apply one of the two voltages ;) In case you haven't stumbled across that yet: http://ucapps.de/mbhp_sid.html

All good, hope it finds a new home where it doesn't have to put up with a big brother ;)

You seem to be a bit ubercautious ;) Have a look at the SID datasheet and you'll find the specified "typical current draw (Vcc)" is 70mA and max is 100mA, that's at 5 Volts.
