[A single board for the Midibox sid...]

Is it possible to create a single board containing all the principal components (din douts and 4 core, 4 sid)?

would greater problems of interference and noise be presented?

How the problems of excessive heating and interference can be resolved?

Thanks

[SID noise floor...]

Hi!!! I'm Massimiliano from italy

I would like to build a Midibox Sid, complete with the control panel and 4 sid chips... but i'm not an expert in electronics (and not even in speaking english   :-/ )

My first great passion is electronic music (kraftwerk, depeche mode...) and i really love the c64 sounds!!!

in fact i have already buyed an elektron Sid-station.

Well, i discovered this site only some days ago... and i was enthusiast !!! I think i'm gonna sell my monophonic Sid-station and build a super-Sid-sinth by myself...

The first and more important question regards sound quality: as all you now the sid chip is naturally noisy;

in fact a gate\expander is needed for serious playing with a sidstation.

Is the same noise floor problem present in the thorsten Klose projects????????

If yes,

i would like to build a "mega-box" in wich a multigate (one for each sid audio out) is incuded. Do you think that a thing like this is a madness sign? 8)

And, where can i find a minimal circuit (to buil with vectorboards) for a gate that only "stops" the sound when it  gets down under the Threshold?

(i imagine that a decay control  would be necessary... it could be fixed to a precise state, good for sid sound... and a swithc to deactivate the gate circuit could be positioned on an extended front panel)

Thanks  ;)
