Would you mind pm'ing me that mouser list? Its still not on the wiki. thanks tb

updated my order request on the wiki page for the new details, if they are new. sorry i've been out of touch !! :D

first, i'm really psyched about the MB6582 stuff being ready. YAY! hooray for Smash and Wilba. I guess this goes to Smash, I just tried to order the 2 boards plus the new pics on the order page, but when I tried my two visa debit cards (that i've used for other stuff online) it says I cannot place the order with that card. Is it because I want it shipped to Germany even though my billing address is in the US? [edit Sept 1st] tried again, both with my US address and my German one (for delivery destination and billing address), on both cards. It says I'm unable to use the card. I even tried with an old card that I know is cancelled and it said a different message, "This card has been denied." So its not a problem with my actual card. Is it perhaps because I have check/debit cards instead of credit? Its not making sense. Please if anyone has an answer let me know. thx

thanks nILS Podewski, I always forget i can do the fancy html in here.

Hi All. I don't post much anymore but I've been revisiting the site more often lately to keep up to date on mb6582 biz. More than a year ago I made a short digital film for entry in the SXSW Grindhouse Trailer competition. Unfortunately I ended up finishing it just after the time when I should have mailed it; I lived in Italy and sent the DVD image file to a friend in LA that then express mailed it to Austin Texas, where it arrived the day after the deadline. >:( Anyway I realized I forgot to post the thing here! About the only audience that might appreciate the thing for its sid-worthiness and I never even mentioned it here. Enjoy, there are two versions, english and italian. The music is partially done with my mbsid, should be pretty obvious. The actual box itself is featured in a very short shot, so look out for blinking green LEDs.

there is RSS? i cant use it...

right but those kinds of controllers are all kinds of different sizes, and if this is a specific design with a CS pcb made for it, seems like we would need one or just a few options of sources to get the keyboard part... I would love to take the keys from my DX7, the thing is a breeze to disassemble and put back together again, but that keyboard is huge, thick, and really heavy.

this may have been rehashed a bunch in the chats, but I am clueless on this: what would it take (i mean what parts, modifications, etc) to add the keyboard to the design? Are there sellers that sell just the keys ready for midi projects or are we talking about cannabalizing some (hopefully velocity-sensitive) existing keyboard/midi controller?

man i need an RSS for this forum!

As far as i know, and my own whack experiences (120v, 240v, 9v; ranging 2-45 ampere) it is the ampere that would kill you. Certainly the 240v with 45 ampere into my arm from a dangling live wire while drilling into a wall smarted the most, but it wasnt the voltage, as i've stepped on live 120v lines with 10amps with barefeet and it did nothing in comparison to that other jolt.

am i to officially declare my desire for a baseboard part kit here? i dont want to be pushy, nor be redundant, but I also dont want to wait an extra few months longer (than newer midiboxers (or midiboxers-to-be that haven't slaved to make a midibox sid v1)) just to get Wilba's masterpiece plus the required component parts.. Whichever is easier for Smashtv, if there are extra part kits now I would get it right now, and wait for the PCB... I just didnt see anything like this in the AVITECH store or in any other threads... So is posting here some required ritual to reserve a spot to get parts? hope not but this thread seems to be going that way. [edit 12.1.08] ok so somehow i missed the wording in the first post explaining exactly that this thread is specifically for this. Sorry Wilba and particularly SmashTV, I i guess I can no longer pride myself on never having been told "Look at this thread." damn ;) It just seemed weird to state desire in a thread and the online shop exists, but i guess because of the high demand and/or long queue... I just wanted to avoid posting redundant stuff... I would like to be put down for one full MB-6582 (8xsid) parts kit including the 4 formatted pics (this time I'm not going to do it myself!)

i wondered what happenned to you! I had to take a 6 month break myself, and started up again last week, and now I'm RAELLY close to finishing the whole lot. Post your front panel design, i'm sure more than just I am curious.

thank wilba, tried searching for it in the forums but didnt think of trying "6582!"

uh this is getting rather esoteric, and psosibly off the original topic, and possibly preaching to the converted, but I got 9 SIDs from C64s and only one of them was busted, and i didnt need to 'trash' any of the others to get the sid out, but shit, u know that. i'm just bored.

this is really interesting to me as well. I dont have any of my own designs right now but I would love to start contributing to the brainstorm.
