  1. Hi Jon, welcome aboard!

    the information you are looking for can be read on those pages:

    http://ucapps.de/

    MB-SID:  http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid.html

    and of course the wiki: http://wiki.midibox.org/

    Midiboxing is pretty easy. All the PCBs can be bought from SmashTV. He also offers complete kits, but if you want, you can order the other components yourself.

    A Midibox is completely modular. For all projects you need a Core module (PIC based Core). You can connect other modules to the Core, e.g. If you want to connect buttons, encoders, LEDs and Pots/Sliders. The module you are looking for, is the SID-Module. This module is controlled my the Core and it consists basically of the SID-chip known from the C64.

    For the most basic setup, a Core and a SID-Module are sufficent (an additional LCD is helpful for debugging). You can controll all the parameters over MIDI.

    If you have further questions, please read through the documentation, then search the forum (most questions have been asked before) and if you haven't found answers for your questions, you can always ask here or in the chat (that's where the geeks are  ;)).

  2. had to keep stopping when my hands started shaking about.

    Do you know Fredl Fesl?

    Probably not. He's a bavarian comedian and he is suffering parkinson for some years now.

    He once told in a TV-Interview that he is using a modified orbital sander with some rubber instead of sandpaper on his arms before a concert.

    Because of that vibration, he says, he is able to play the guitar without his body shaking.

    Dunno if that could help in your case, but perhaps you might want to give it a try in case you have a orbital sander at hand.

  3. Also wenns simpel sein soll, dann leg ich dir den MB-808 Sequenzer und irgend nen Sampler ans Herz.

    Ansonsten halt die/den (?) ESX. Der/Die hat auch den Vorteil dass er eingebaute Effekte und einen bzw. mehrere Modulationssequenzer hat.

    Eine weitere Möglichkeit wäre irgendeine Lauflicht-Sampler software (z.B. ReBirth-338 mit Custom-Sampleset) und ein entsprechender Midicontroller.

    Wobei dir da halt ein bisschen das "Lauflicht-Feeling" fehlt  ;)

  4. SLP: 6582 != 6581 or 8580 ;)

    I actually thought he might be able to figure that out himself  ;)

    I don't think that there is a application where you can't use a 6582 instead of a 8580, except you don't like the sound of the 6582.

    Also I guess that there aren't many (non-midibox-)people aware of the fact that there are actually 6582 SIDs available, as they have never been nuilt into any Commodore AFAIK.

  5. So I have a question for you guys. My 6N138 optocoupler reads like this on the surface. 6N138, 0733TI. My question is, what does the second set of numbers and letters mean?

    07 - Year

    33 - Week

    TI - Texas Instruments (?)

    So your chip was made by Texas Instruments somwhen in August 2007.
