Uh oh...even though Plumstone made the MIDI interface visible, JSynthLib now crashes whenever an incoming MIDI note is received, even if the MIDI interface is disabled in preferences....it's all Java so it doesn't seem like this would be related to an intel-mac issue... Well, I guess I'll have to write my own MIDIBox SID editor for native Mac OS X. ;)

Thank you! Plumstone made the MIDI interface visible. I really appreciate the tip. BTW, this should be a FAQ, or at least mentioned on the MIDIBox SID download page.

Anybody know why I can't choose a MIDI interface at all in the MIDI Prefs pane of JSynthLib? It's the snapshot provided at ucapps.de, and I'm running it on OS X 10.4.7 on an intel mac. There is an m-audio 2x4 midi interface on USB which works fine in other programs. Do I need to make the USB device visible to Java somehow, or is there a problem with my setup? Thanks.

cool, I didn't notice that before...it's an awesome feature!!! 8)

If you listen to the old C64 tunes, a lot of them treat the three oscillators on the synth as totally independent voices...one osc will be doing a drum track, one a bass, and one a lead, for example. I know that you can get this to happen by programming the wavetables extensively, but would it be possible to actually control each oscillator on seperate midi channels? This would allow us to use whatever sequencer we wanted to make 3-voices sid sequences. First of all, is this possible at all? Second, what would it take to let the MIDIBOX_SID app handle this? This would really be my dream for Sid use!

I am extremely grateful for your help in this debug!!! I can't believe you bothered to post a test app just for me 8) Using your app I was able to narrow down my troubleshooting and I finally found the problem...I had added an extra capacitor instead of a bridge on the DIN board...YES, adding components at random has the possibility of messing up the circuit!!!! That was stupid, but then again bugs always seem to be stupid once you fix them :) Thanks again for all your help. Your latest DIN/DOUT/CORE test was useful for narrowing down where the problem was happening. Do you have a collection box (donations) set up for all your hard work??? -- Gideon

Those tests all passed (assuming you were referring to J9, and not J8!). I will start looking for shorts on the DIN module. Any other ideas what might be causing the problem? Is it significant that the buttons seemed to work at first, but then immediatley stopped working after that?

one more thing: I am unsure of the pinning on the encoder, and connected the two data lines and ground in possibly the incorrect manner...could this cause such behavior?

TK, as usual, thanks for your quick response and help. Hopefully you can shed some light on this situation... I installed the MIDIO128 application like you suggested, and this makes it easier to see the erratic behavior. The buttons seem to be working at random. I have 6 buttons and 1 encoder. They are wired to ports J3 and J4 of one of SmashTV's DIN4 modules. I stuffed all 4 ICs on that module but left all the other ports unwired. All resistors are in place, even on the unused ports. The weird behavior seems to be related to the first button. When I boot MIDIO128 fresh, each button will send MIDI notes at first, but then they don't work after the first press. The first button still sends data, but after the first event (two normal midi notes), it starts sending a bunch of data at once, some string of CC values. The other buttons seem to stop working after this. I checked the main lines for shorts and didn't find any. The connections look OK with a meter...the pins of the IC are high when the button is open, and go low when the button is pressed. (am I correct to assume these are active lows?) It seems ok there. Evidently the core is having some problem decoding the serial output from the DIN module? Can you spot any pattern in this mess? Is there a simpler test I can do to see what's going on? Is the MIDIO128 application behaving normally (sending out a few midi notes at first, then a bunch of random CC data)? Does this seem like a problem with the core module, or can I be certain that the problem is located in the DIN module? All other core functions seem to be ok (LCD, playing the Sid from external midi notes, etc.). Any help would be much appreciated here...I have no idea why the inputs are behaving in this manner! I have attached the midi output from a small test using MIDIO128, with comments.

Hello, I've wired up my 6 buttons and 1 encoder for my control surface A midibox sid...the buttons seem to be behaving badly. Is there some way I can test to see which buttons are being pressed, and see what buttons the core THINKS are being pressed? I didn't see a DIN test application anywhere...

Ok, I'm getting the test tone after trying a different SID. Guess my chip was blown. It was minty fresh out of an ancient, dusty, gummed up C64, but the chip itself was clean....

Hi, I'm nearly done with my control surface A midibox sid, but I've hit a road block. There is no sound output from the SID module. The core seems to be functioning fine, LCD is working, interconnect test passed, I have 12V at SID pin 28 and all the other pins look OK. I loaded the sid test tone application, loaded fine. However, I get no sound at all from the audio out. Wiring looks ok, I think. I have the 0 pin on J3 going to tip and the ground going to the sleeve. I am using 3-conductor jacks, and I left the ring conductor open since it will be shorted to sleeve with a TS connector, right? Suppose I had erroneously switched the two pins, would I get any sound that way? Could this be some wiring problem to my audio jack? If the interconnect test passed, can I fully rule out the possibility of a flaw on the module? Could it be a dead SID chip? Any tips at all? Thanks ---- G

stop hording all the power supplies!!! >:( ;)

thank you both..now I just have to wait for the new psu to arrive....*sigh*

Or did you mean I should just exchange for a new power supply?

I can't seem to open the power brick...is there a trick to it? Also, what fuse will I need? Thanks!

Good call...I did in fact have the regulator in backwards...oops. After that, there was a short in the circuit which seemed to damage the C64 power supply....my 14VDC pin was reading 5.13, so I measured the AC coming out of the power brick and it was only 2.xxx AC!! I had originally measured it at 10.67 VAC... in your opinion, could a short on the optimizer circuit have caused damage to the internals of the power brick? Maybe the lesson to learn is that drinking beer and building electronics is not a good combo...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a novice... I've built the optimized C64 PSU on my prototype board and I notice that the voltage at the 5VDC output measures at 5.13VDC, and the voltage at the 14VDC output measures at 16.54 VDC. I measured the AC coming out of the C64 power supply at 10.67 VAC. Is it normal/OK for the voltages to be running a bit high, or is there a problem with my optimizer circuit or C64 power supply? Thanks.

hello, just wanted to say that I am very excited about this application and I can't wait to use it! I am in the process of finishing off my first midibox sid with a basic control surface, and when it's ready I will try to contribute some unusual drum sounds for this thing. Thanks for all the hard work, TK!

Hi...I plan on building the full control surface version of the MIDIBox SID at some point in the future. I don't mind assembling electronics, but I am a bit leary about the physical mounting and control surface fabrication. What are people using for the front panel? Is it hard to find a case that can accomodate the different modules? How do I match the front panel to the actual pots and LEDs beneath it? Any tutorials or advice? THANKS!
