As Mike told you, those caps are not necessary. At first, they where not included with the first ucapps schematics, but for some reason, they have been added later, but you board will work perfectly without them. It's a matter of power integrity, there's a long post on this forum obout this, but i let you search for it. (I know i should, but i dont use them neither)

That is awsome :o How do a lasercutter look like ?

:o Crazy !!! (in the good way :) )

Bad news : with such a board, the sid chips are going to be out of stocks in a hurry ;)

Hello TK, Is a mios bootloader for the PIC18F4685 available somewhere ? Thanks :)

That one is a beauty :-*

:o That's beautifull !! Where did you get your pcb's printed ? Was it expensive ? Do you have a eagle pro license to do such a big board ?

It must be possible, with not much problems, but you definitely have to define what you want your "machine" to do, and how to do it with midi (so understand it's base, like at a CC is (a control change), and that kind of stuff) Dont worry, it's not very difficult and pretty fun to do ;) You will need a technical documentation (or a user manual) about your keyboard too.

I mean : maybe there's allready a footswitch or a plug to control your keyboard ? What do you want to control on your keyboard with your footpedal ? Send cc's ? Change programs ? Tell us more !

Start building a Core Module ! :) This is the 'motherboard' and the base of any mbhp projects. http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core.html I dont know your keyboard but i have a doubt : are you sure you need midi for that ?

Thanks Michael ! that's exaclty what i needed, your examples are very clear :) greetz!

Hello, I need to use few boolean variables in my code. As i'm a C beginer, i declare an unsigned integer for each of my variables, but i know it's a waste of bits. Reading mclock.h source code i noticed : // status of midi clock typedef union { struct { unsigned ALL:8; }; struct { unsigned RUN:1; unsigned PAUSE:1; unsigned START_REQ:1; unsigned STOP_REQ:1; unsigned CONT_REQ:1; }; } mclock_state_t; Is that what i need to declare my boolean variables ? (i need to declare 8 bool vars) is the following code ok ? //my booleans variables typedef union { struct { unsigned ALL:8; }; struct { unsigned mybool1:1; unsigned mybool2:1; unsigned mybool3:1; unsigned mybool4:1; unsigned mybool5:1; unsigned mybool6:1; unsigned mybool7:1; unsigned mybool8:1; }; }; Can someone tell me what is "typedef union" and "struct" basicaly ? Thanks for your help !

Wow, that's beautifull ;D Please could you upload a audio sample ?

That's beautifull !!! ;D I cant wait to use those new pic's ! (i allready ordered some) PLease TK, could you make the new bootloader and MIOS available (even if there's 'beta') so we can have fun with all that extra memory ? :) Greetz !!!!

Just a thought, i'm sorry if it has been mentioned before : It would like to be able to trig a patch with a DIN input. (let's say, trig a "C-3") It could be nice, when you want to hear/tune a patch without a midi keyboard, or simply to test the MBsid :) Cheerz bill

More i play with it, more i like it ;D Is the number 21 the maximum number of patch the pic memory allow ? In that case, it's "technicaly" possible to get more patches with a pic4620 software ? It would be awesome to be able to play more than 21 patches !!!! ::)

I tried http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mbsid-d_alpha3.zip and i must say that it's great !!! It's so good that i think it should be displayed somewhere in the project page, or in the download page. Thanks again Thorsten :) (and all those who did those nice pacthes)

This is a bit off topic but : How is it possible to open the SNES without the special nintendo screwdriver ? Thanks !!!

This is awesome !!! :) I definitely want to build one and work on it. It's a long time i'm dreaming of generating 4bit waveforms with a pic :)

I agree, this is a realy nice shot !

Bonjour, je recherche des cartes mères de C64, (sans le sid cela va de soi) A votre bon coeur ;) Merci !

;D Yes, please do some art and share it with us :)

A cool stuff (and not much difficult to do) could be a midibox program that copy a bankstick to another banckstick. (for backup purpose) Anyone interested ?

Hello m1n5k, where are you from ? How much do you want for your parts ? Do you sell parts separtely ? Are they mounted ? Thanks (I'm interested in your sid's boards)

Yes i did, but : 1) it's pretty easy to remember the keys, 2) it's not very convenient when you want to type something on the keyboard (to input a value) the keyboard is used to type names, for paterns, songnames or anything !
