Yes you're right, the pinned one can be inserted in the hole of the first kind of connector. So every connector in the core has the pin on the upper side, to be soldered with the wire. J4 too right? Well I soldered the first kind in my core, Do you think it's bad simply to apply the pinned ones in the holes of the first-kind connector or I need to desolder every port and re-solder the 2nd-kind connectors? Thanks for the help. One last thing: The so called "printstecker" connectors (the white ones in the picture above) seem to be inexistent here in Italy, do you know if I can find a substitute for them? Thank you very much.

Yes I'll try to be clearer: In Italy (and everywhere I think) 2 kinds of connectors are available in the shops: one kind is surrounded by black plastic and have pin under it to be soldered on the board. Above them there are no pin, only a hole ; the same connectors are available with pin above (2nd kind).

The SIL headers in the DIN module are different from the ones on Core module right? If i'm not wrong the ports of the core are connectors not provided of the pins. The DIN has connectors with pins right? Thanks for the help and excuse me for the stupid question. -SounDuke

another question, just to be sure: in the DINX4 module I've got some problems with the 4 bridges on the metal side. they are to be connected together with a pin of the shift register IC's and with the hole pad in the centre of the socket (elements B1, B7, BC, E$29 in eagle board) right? Thanks for helping an idiot like me.

yes that was the point ;) Thanks Moebius

hello everyone I wanted to know something about the 6th bridge in the Core module. Is it correct to solder FIRST the J4 pin header and the pic socket THEN to tin the edges of the isolated cable and solder them to the tin present in the two pins or not? Is there any other better method? thanks for the attention :-X

yeah sorry micro not nano ;)

hello friends, I would like to know if in sid module I can use a capacitor 2200 nF 35V instead of 2200 nF 25v. Unfortunately in Rome's components shops it's difficult to find the 25V one. Thanks for your attention ;)

good work ;)

I wanted to do something more unique. From genesis I would take only DAC drumsets, the fm engine isn't that rare, If you're a creative synthesist you can reproduce every sound with a DX7. That's why I chose Lynx's chip, very unique-sounding ;)

Hello everyone, I get immediately to the point: I'm an old school soundchip lover, especially of the SID one, the most flexible amongst 80's soundchips. My idea is to create a multichip modular system, including, for now: Amiga's Paula for lo-fi samples; ATARI LYNX II portable system soundchip 4x8 channels for DAC drumsets and fat square sounding. It is a bold project, what do you think about it?

thanks ;)

thanks ;)

which is the right pic to order? Some has 44 leads and others 40... I can't realise what's the meaning of the letters after the model name.. Are them only parts name or different versions of pic?: PIC18F452-I/L PIC18F452-I/ML PIC18F452-I/P PIC18F452-I/PT PIC18F452T-I/L PIC18LF452-I/L PIC18LF452-I/ML PIC18LF452-I/P PIC18LF452-I/PT PIC18LF452T-I/L PIC18LF452T-I/PT Thanks for help!

Yes, but I'm not going to take the easy way out: My will is to have a VERY personalized Midi keyboard, so I will not reuse old midikeyboard as you suggested: If I have to, I'll use coffee spoons as Keys :D

very quick answer ;). thanks

Thanks again. One last thing: sorry for my lack of knowledge, "MATRIX SCANNED" is how the PIC will recognize bits? I don't know if I'm doing a good work :o My idea is to connect every key to an input on the DIN. The PIC in the core will receive only ON or OFF state (that's because Moebius said no velocity right?). So how do it recognizes I pressed a C3 or a D2? In other words, how the pic sends out noteON messages corresponding to the right key I pressed? Do I have to modify something in the hardware or her majesty MIOS provides? Thanks! Cheers, - SounDuke

I forgot an important question: If I add an USB module, I can connect the midibox to my computer for power supply right?

Good! Tahnks :D And where to buy keys?

Is it possible to build a 61 keys midicontroller using MBHP? how to connect the keys? Thank you for your help ;)

I think I etched a good board. However, I'm not sure if the copper was well- corroded. I don't see copper between tracks and outside the circuit, but my tester shows infiniteKohm when i touch with + and - the tracks, 0Kohm when I touch the plastic panel. I can't understand these values.. Is the board ok?
