;D Happy to know that someone finally dit it !!! THANKS TO SMASHTV!!!! but First of all THANKS TO TORSTEN AND EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS WONDERFUL PROJECT.

:-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ OK ! I've been too fast !! I' forgot to configure MIDIOX before flashing! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ No Problem at all! MIOS V1.7 OK! MIDIBOXSID V1.6 OK! Bankstick OK! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Thanks to everyone !!!

??? After flashing the Application MidiBoxSid v1.6 (setup_8580_with_cs.syx) System restart and give me : 001 (I believe is an error code: 0x01 | Less bytes than expected have been received) ??? NO PROBLEM Flashing the same file under MIOS 1.6! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Thanks to everyone !

MIOS V1.7 © 2004 T.Klose READY. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Thanks Doc ! (I forgot to flash it during the first 2 seconds !!) :P

Here I am! I'll be happy to try your New MIOS 1.7 on my system Thorsten! :D Just a thing : Under download section of MIOS there is a package named 1.7, but if I flash it , the name at Boot is always MIOS 1.6 2003 .......(I thinked you forgot to update the notice .....but after I change Bankstik pin to #28 the System does not access the 24lc256 any more.....it is still working at pin #22) Please send me an update version or say me what's wrong? ;) Thanks ;D

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D hello again!! thanks for your quick and detailed reply!!! Sorry for my pressure.... I've just built the instrument and I'm exploring all its capabilities so forgive my enthusiasm..... :-[ I'm asking you about my doubt to understand more about.... I'm an achitect (with passions for music and electronic..) so forgive some stupid question...... I underestimate the Link button, in fact it is very important (I'm a Cubase, Nuendo user but I haven't joined It to my system for now!)... For the modulation matrix you probably misunderstood me (sorry for my english..),It is perfect as it is.... ;D The whole architecture is original and fantastic!! :-* I refer only to VMA section.... :-X (ES. the other byte could be a second VCC assignment that make possible to control filter and volume or Attak... Just this ....) :-X Take all time you need !!!(I don't know as you can menage all your application and fans together!) Why a short circuit ? C5 condenser at the output of the sid board doesn't provide for isolation?(I ask you only to understand better ...) ??? All MY GRATITUDE!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!! I tryed to save a patch with VCC more than 1 and all system crash!!!!!!, I needed to flash again MIOS 1.6 and Midibox Sid Application to restore full functionality!!(only on the master PIC). If the problem is a bad message from my master, seems to be useful implement in the config menu a software switch that prevents from accidental upload ......... :P Another two ideas: 1) I will found very useful to assign Modulation parameters from Velocity, Aftertouch, Wheel etc..not only to a single CC but as for the Modulation Matrix to several ones with different Depths, so it is possible create much more expressive sounds..... ;D 2) I'v dreemed a Midibox LaserHarp .... (my next project )8) Thanks Again!! (I'm curious to know more about you, is there a your Photo? what's your age ? Your works?)...

:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X OOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!! the problem brings out only when the system is connected to my masterkeyboard :-[ I'm investigating to know what message is faulty! probably is a control change message that interfere with the integrated midi merger ??? I'm exploring the capability of my new fantastic intrument, early I will be happy to share my patches with the comunity....... :) (this is one of the most exciting site I know) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Hello Thorsten!!! Sorry to tell you a bug report in your 1.6 Sid application, If VCC (Velocity Control Change ) value is more than 1 my system crashes and reboot...... I'v forgotten to say I uses the 8580 release and MIOS 1.6..... :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( What you think about implement in a future release this ideas ?: 1) Is possible to use the link Button (I found it useless or you you can introduce a blinking mode....) to enable a kind of Superpolyphonic mode that uses a single patch with 4 voices of polyphony , so that you can play four voices chords on the same midi channel without using ..... ::) 2) Create a kind of Superpatches that configure all Sids with their midi channel, single tone , Layer, Split, sequences, etc..., using for example bankstick 0 for the Superpatches and other banks for keeping tone patches keeping compatibility with current ones... 8) Just another question : What if I join the four outputs from the sids module without the 10K resistor ??? I should have only a lowest output ... ??? Why you suggest to use it? thanks for your patience ;) PS.. I'm waiting to find better knobs to send you photos for the gallery ....

;D Hello Thorsten I did IT!!! A complete MidiboxSid with complete cs step3 and four sid engines in a week..!!! :o I made some little changes from your design to simplify something, but all sound GREAT!!! My system now is stable and perform 4 18F cores with MIOS 1.6 and midiboxsid 1.6 ... If someone could be interested I made a new frontpanel in coreldraw, a new power module, and I made different layout to help me build it quickly!!(using prototype boards), If you like I can send you fotos and frontpanel file, (sorry I have no layout files because I draw it directly with transfers on the copper..) :P I also have several pic16F that I buyed several time ago when you begin your project....(I follow you from the beginning of the sid project but have no time for build...) I would like to use the 16F for the slaves (I have 10....and more) I know that it need a great effort to create a 16F application 1.6 compatible but if you want I can try to help you if you have no time for it.(I know some about it..but i will need your supervision...) Thanks for all !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!!!!!!!!!!!
