Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but does anyone know in what NIN songs I can hear a SID? I never noticed he had one before.

Wilba - you pointed me in the right direction once again, thanks. I have the din module shown here; http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/mbhp_dinR3.html It turns out I had the SIL resistor networks mounted the wrong way, and I swapped the 3 connections on the rotary encoder and all seems fine now :) Now it's time to make some music. I feel a SID/Electric guitar duet coming on ;D

Wilba - You're the man! It turns out it was stuck on one of the zelda patches. I could change the patch through mios studio as you mentioned, but I am having no luck with the rotary encoder and menu button. In the mean time can you tell me how to change the patches useing just the rotary encoder and the menu button? (my midi keyboard is away from the pc and using the mouse to play tunes isn't fun) I'm going to have some serious fun with this thing when I get the lcd display!!

The solder joints look good but I'll keep looking. What other possible reasons would cause the core to restart?

Hi guys. I just completed my sid and it's working fine with the inbuilt patch! I don't have an LCD yet, but in an attempt to get more sounds out of the sid I plugged in a DIN module, with a menu button and rotary encoder, plus a bankstick. The bankstick formatted successfully and I transferred the preset patches to the bankstick. Now I seem to get some funny results with the bankstick plugged in. Every time I press a key it results in a 6 tone tune being played, which does not change with different keys pressed. I tried changing patches by pressing the menu button twice then twisting the rotary encoder but the 6 tone tune still remains, although with a different timbre. The sid is putting out some funny sounds with the bankstick in place. BTW I'm not hearing a startup tune, I'm wondering if the startup tune is what I'm hearing when the bankstick is installed and keys are pressed? The sound changes as soon as I install the bankstick. Is this supposed to happen? (I would have thought the default patch would remain until changed) As soon as I remove the bankstick normal operation resumes. I'll be getting the LCD next week. Has anyone successfully changed patches without the LCD attached? Cheers
