Alkex

Hello, I designed this and it ain't a midibox. I have already made a couple of those in the past ( both were midibox SID of the week, search "alkex sid") and wanted to build something different. This was initially a self-challenge to build a sid synth with more of a groove-box approach, focused around composing beats and patterns. All the instrument patches are crafted in software. Here's a video of the wavetable editor: This machine is AVR based and coded from the ground up, datasheet in hand as a fun challenge. I have a boatload of respect for TK and have always played by the midibox rules but I'm now grateful to have met Michael from Mode Machines in spite of the history with midi-box (which I was well aware of). He, his team and other developers I've had the pleasure to meet via him are great creative people that I am proud to associate with. Now you know :) I love both my midibox sids and the groovebox, they each serve different purposes and live happily in harmony in the studio. Best wishes from the dark side!

Sorry all for abandoning my own post. The stuff is no longer available All the best and happy Midiboxing!

Congrats jbartee, that thing looks amazing!

hey julienvoirin, the knobs come from Radioshack they are pretty close to the moog knobs nILS: Sorry this indeed does not qualify as a user project - it's a midibox64 - should I delete? Best Alkex

Thanks for you comments! Ssp: I glued the side panels on with hotglue in hope that I wont need to open it up any time soon. Hot glue works really well with wood and it saved the sacrifice of drilling holes! :sorcerer:

Hi All I just finished my minimoog controller and thought I'd share it with you! Features: Simple design: Used 1 core and 2 breadboard ain modules. Bus powered USB: I took a cheap usb/midi cable (ebay) and hard-wired the midi input and 5v from the usb port directly to the core. Dimensions: Front panel is considerable smaller than the original minimoog (designed to sit over my MB SID keyboard) Front panel: 100% front panel designer switches: Cheapo rocker switches spray painted and wired as pots (to save the hassle of building a DIN Module ) I don't have photos of the inside but you can see it's ugly guts in this video: Thanks for looking All the best Alkex

Great news! Keep it up! :D

analogue_mo, it's quite doable. This was my first dabble at woodworking and I found it to be quite easy. I had already sanded body filler on my car and found the wood much nicer and easier to shape. and Wilba, thanks for the Sids they sound Great! ;) Now to somehow make space on the panel for a IN to OUT feedback pot... ???
