This sounds interesting as I have a DR-110 that would be nice to sync from the SIDbox...

Wow just saw this now and downloaded it... Will give it a try tomorrow... Nice looking gui and thanks for taking the time to do this...

Good work... Was it hard to install the headphone amp output and do you have a link to the schematic?

Man that sounds Dirty and Sweet....

Try this... http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_8xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdf It is the schematic for the PS for multi SID... I used this to connect the 2 SID pcb's to the core...

Try another wall wart maybe? Disconnecting the modules is a good idea...

Complete Control Surface (Step C) Description Additional parts and modules: n x core modules m x SID modules the minimal control unit (see above) an improved PSU (ca. 1A) - the C64 PSU should be prefered due to the seperate +5V output for the core module(s) 3 DINX4 modules 2 DOUTX4 modules 14 additional rotary encoders (in difference to the datawheel, non-detented encoders are recommented here, but detented will also work fine, for example M-SW-ROT from Voti or the Bourns encoders from SmashTV's Shop) 32 additional buttons 99 LEDs ca. 2-3 veroboards for mounting the buttons/encoders/LEDs a nice frontpanel Costs: most expensive parts are the rotary encoders (ca. 15 EUR) and especially the frontpanel (selfmade ca. 25 EUR + a lot of time, premade ca. 100..150 EUR!)

Whatever happened to using one's ears?

Try the wiki in regards to using JB Weld for mounting your PCB's... http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/wilba_mb_6582_control_surface_construction_guide?s=weld You may want to invest in a cheap Dremel tool to cut holes in your enclosure...

Man that is best thing ever!!! Gotta send this link to friends... Send this to LEGO...

I hope that editor is for PC as well....

WooHoo!!! Recieved my SID kit from Smash with the extra encoders (Bournes switched) and installed the new encoder and my skipping encoder issues are a thing of the past... Now to start getting into my SID...

I used that site as a reference for building my PSU but had to make changes due to a different rectifier...

Hmmm I like the sound of that... Good idea!!!

It is worth doing the DR110 mod... The kik ends up sounding like an 808 kick with long sustain and lower tone... Hats, clap, and snare sound great as well... I have an mp3 here of it mind you it is only 128k... http://www.cosmosuave.com/DR-110_Mod.mp3 Pics.. http://www.cosmosuave.com/IMG_2477.JPG http://www.cosmosuave.com/IMG_2478.JPG http://www.cosmosuave.com/IMG_2479.JPG http://www.cosmosuave.com/IMG_2480.JPG I want to install a midi/trig kit for it and look into installing individual outs for each voice... This is where I got the nfo for the mod... http://www.hoohahrecords.com/resfreq/mods/dr110/index.html Nfo for the midi/trig kit... http://www.engineersatwork.nl/

As I recall that schematic is a PDF so you can enlarge it... Not sure if you knew that...

Bummer it is already gone... I replied 30 mins after it was posted... On another note I completed the breakout box for my DR-110 that allows me to tweak the voices...

I'm awaiting a reply to see if the C64 and SX64 are available... If so I will trade the SX64 for a working SID chip in North America prefer Canada...

Hey I came across a C64 and C64SX for free on Craigslist just waiting to hear back from the guy... Does the C64SX use the SID chip? If so I'll grab it as well or I'll leave it... Looks like the answer is yes... Neat conversion... http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/sx64/default.asp?page=3

Gonna wait till I get the new encoder before I do any more code changes but thanks for the direct link...

Gave up and went back to the the midibox_sid_v2_0_rc17.... Managed to install the 6581.asm file and got my control surface working but still having an issue with erratic behaviour on the menu encoder... I did manage to eliminate the the previous line 408 error... stryd_one I followed your instructions on the MinGW download but have no idea where the mingw32-make-3.81-20080326.tar.gz. file is being dl'd to... I searched the temp directory, windows file find and nothing... I am using Opera as a browser and under ... Tools--->Preferences--->Advanced--->Downloads---> The files are dl'd to this directory C:\Documents and Settings\cosmosuave\My Documents\ Upon opening the directory there is no mingw32-make-3.81-20080326.tar.gz. I'm just not savvy enough when it comes to this sort of stuff... Below is the code for my menu encoder... Is there anything that maybe causing the erratic behaviour code wise? I think it is physically the encoder and have ordered some new ones from Smash... The encoder is wired to SR2 Pins 4 & 5 CS_MENU_DIN_TABLE ;; Function name SR# Pin# DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Dec, 2, 5 ; only valid if rotary encoder not assigned to these pins DIN_ENTRY CS_MENU_BUTTON_Inc, 2, 4 ; (see mios_tables.inc) and CS_MENU_USE_INCDEC_BUTTONS == 1 ENC_ENTRY MACRO sr, din_0, mode dw (mode << 8) | (din_0 + 8*(sr-1)) ENDM ENC_EOT MACRO dw 0xffff ENDM MIOS_ENC_PIN_TABLE ;; SR Pin Mode #if CS_MENU_USE_INCDEC_BUTTONS == 0 ENC_ENTRY 2, 4, MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED2 ; menu encoder #endif Thanks again for everyone's help on this...

So far I have followed the procedure as per the wiki and have gotten up to the section to install MinGW and have hit a roadblock... Is there anyway to install MinGW without an internet connection? Reason I ask is that I have 2 laptops... One for internet and one for music production which all my SIDbox apps MIOS, Notepad++, MSYS) are on... When I run the MinGW exe it is asking for an internet connection which I don't have... Gonna lose sleep over this...

My apologies... I'll use the code tags from now on... I know I can be a pain in the ass... Thanks for efforts and when I get the time I'll go thru the rest of this thread for the procedure...

Ok I have really screwed up my SIDbox trying to get the menu encoder to work... The DOS CMD window will no longer make the hex file... Somewhere I read that you can edit the asm file in Notepad++ and then ccompile it as a hex file... Is this the case? This is the error I'm getting with the DOS cmd window it worked before midibox_sid_v2_rc17 but now that I uploaded the midibox_sid_v2_rc18 it does not work... My SID is completly dead in the water I can't control it and the 2x40lcd is 2x20... DOS cmd window error... C:\Documents adn Settings\Cosmosuave\Desktop\MIDIbox SID\midibox_sid_v2_rc18>make is not recognized as an external or internal command I'm lost at least with a soldering iron I know which end to hold...

Downloaded http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox_sid_v2_0_rc17.zip but now it has been revised to http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox_sid_v2_0_rc18.zip... Open the 6581.asm file in note pad to configure SR pins and it one huge mess of text... Open in Notepad++ but have now idea how to compile it into a hex file? When I was using rc17.zip 6581.asm file I compiled the gpasm way using the DOS cmd window using the [make] comand... I have now opened a whole can of worms... Al I want is this encoder to work like it should (smacks forehead)...
