Oh and btw Rosch, the guys said 1A was adequate by using a 9V AC (Option C) only! So you *may* need something better rated for the 5V DC line, at this point id recommend you find out for sure!

I guess you could use a 7 Pin male DIN connector for the wires coming from both transformers, (just like the plug on the c64) So you could use a pin for GND, a pin for 5V DC, and 2 pins for 9V AC. That would it make it backwards compatible with a c64 PSU, as long as the correct pins are used.

9V AC is what you want for MB-6582 Rosch, since its a bridge rectified circuit, 9VDC will not work properly with a rectified circuit. Its designed to convert AC into DC, so passing DC into this circuit will have a different effect. "PSU Option C: People could generate 5v from a single unregulated 9v AC supply." For the gurus: From the wiki you get the impression you MUST use Option C if you're not using a c64 psu. Why cant you just use Option A with a 9V AC Adapter, that has a 7 Pin DIN Connector soldered to it? EDIT: Option A uses the 5V DC rail of the C64 PSU also, (as patiently explained by Flemming in the chat. :thumbsup: ) P.S nils and smash said that a 1A rated PSU is more than adequate.

Lyle i only had a quick look, but looks great. Do you have any future plans to allow a userto create a mixer, add/move knobs, set cc values etc.... at Runtime, via the GUI? And allow the user to save the mixer as an xml file at real time also. Havent tried creating my own through xml yet, but looks cool so far.

Step 1: RTFM! http://www.mb6582.org/sammichSID/sammichSID_Build_Guide_v0_96.zip Step 2: Search for "R4A" and all is explained. Btw theres an unfinished sentence in the same paragraph.

No need, you only use a burner to install MIOS BOOTLOADER, not MIOS itself. Since the BOOTLOADER is pre-installed (or pre-burned) on your pic, all you need to do is to install MIOS again, click wait for upload request, and switch on the sammich just like you've done before.

Can i haz circuit diagram 4 dis? :wink:

Oooof, according to this page the supply is unregelated: http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=cpc/263667.xml But isnt the PSU circuit regulated anyway? Does it matter? meh

I plan on using this "chat approved" PSU: http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=PW00870 I will be hacking off the 2 pin dc socket (for multiple dc plug sizes that come with it), and Soldering a 7 pin DIN plug to it, so i can always fall back to a c64 PSU if needs be.

Nice blog phile. Re: JB Weld, i bought it from this English ebay seller for a decent price, might be handy for other users: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/DISCOUNT-CAR-PRODUCTS__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Before i even read this comment i was thinking the exact same. Very abletonesque indeed.

Reminds me of the McGyver intro for some reason! Im guessing its a "midi delay" i.e. it copies the incoming notes and plays them back a second time, after a chosen time interval, to achieve a delay like effect. but thats just a total guess, i havent looked into the application at all yet.

With that attitude none of us will end up sharing anything! :wink: Me thinks you should upload the handful of patches, and you can always upload a finished bank in the future :yes: Patch sharing is almost non existent on here, well lately anyway!

Yep, silly me. I was thinking of "how to change to the Ensembles bankstick", instead of changing the ensembles themselves. :/

Uggghhhh. It was you who changed my profile pic to pokemon wasnt it! Ghey. (alarm bells, im guessing that must be the character "misty".)

As seppoman says, the problem was caused by uploading the wrong hex file -> setup_8580.hex setup_8580.hex != setup_mb6582.hex Just making sure others dont think this was solved by some sort of miracle. Always use setup_mb6582.hex for mb-6582.

Have you tried sending the first Control Change listed in the parameter chart? :wink: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsynthesizers%2Fmidibox_sid_v2%2Fdoc%2Fmbsidv2_cc_chart.txt

Beautiful! How will you be applying the lettering?

Sorry, i cant really understand what your English, could you try rephrasing it? Is there no sound from the Gunshot & Helicopter Patches? Or is there something wrong with the sound? Or are these patches empty? :frantics:

No problem! I went for metal film resistors automatically, didnt really think about which would look nice! As i can see you put more thought into this, so your list should be fine! :ahappy:

Simca you're handling this order like a pro. Thanks again for the knobs. Be sure to update us whenever you finish your mb-6582!

I've been putting together a mouser list here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=smithy#gm5x5x5_part_list If someone could doublecheck it, it would be great. The Sil headers/pins are not included.
