Thanks man! Looking pretty good too, especially the ucapps site on the projector!

Or the IC is put in backwards. :) Only sometimes.

Weird, i found this on another forum and was just talking about it in the chat today. Never knew it was the first commercial synthesizer, funny how moog seem to have got all the credit isnt it? And whats even more striking is that its polyphonic. Another guy bought one from Marc Doty recently, and is restoring his one too: http://www.vintagesynth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51703

The PT-10 case is cheaper on the Irish RS site: http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2508440591 15 @ €17.03 Ex VAT 25 @ €13.82 Ex VAT. Prof what weight are these thingies? Irish post is probably more expensive than Royal Mail, the rates are here: http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/MainContent/Business+Customers/Sending+Mail/Standard/StandardPost.htm What do ye think?

I have re-uploaded it to the download section: http://midibox.org/forums/index.php?app=downloads

Where do you live again ping? Thats cool,in the meantime, the rest of us can go looking for bargains on sites, for this bulk order.

HAI CAN HAS STDIO? PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"? AWSUM THX VISIBLE FILE O NOES INVISIBLE "ERROR!" KTHXBYE HAI CAN HAS STDIO? I HAS A VAR IM IN YR LOOP UP VAR!!1 IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHX VISIBLE VAR IM OUTTA YR LOOP KTHXBYE LOL, thats hilarious! I guess that 6 month programming course came in handy after all, it allowed me to find this code funny. :P

I guess i can always find out: ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/Download/Cubase_4/Docs_English/MIDI_Devices.pdf Page 10, - Create Bank. And the add multiple presets will be important too, to setup the MIDI Control Changes. In other words, RTFM! :P

Back to the Manual. ;) Are you familiar with midi control changes (CC's)? The first one in the parameter chart page of the manual allows you to select the bank: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsynthesizers%2Fmidibox_sid_v2%2Fdoc%2Fmbsidv2_cc_chart.txt Now, im not too sure how you can send a Midi control change from within Cubase. With fruity loops theres a MIDI Out plugin, which lets you select which bank you want to use.

Im not really sure how i missed this one guys, but thats some really great work! Â :D Its probably the most hardsid-like midibox, that has ever been made to date. (whats that I hear nILS? It makes you want to burn the hardware and delete the source? hehehe, i mean it in a good way! ;)) LOL

http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_fp.html "Sync: jumps to the ENS->CLK menu (allows you to setup BPM and MIDI Clock Mode)" Id imagine this LED lights when the midi out/in of the mb-6582 is synced with your sequencer. And the sync button syncs the midi clock with your sequencer.

http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_l.html (3rd sentence ;)) "By moving the datawheel, the patch can be changed within the current bank. The bank can only be changed within the ensemble menu." So onto the Ensembles Page: http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_e.html

The 8 sids are split between 2 Stereo Channels. 4 Sids on the Left Channel, 4 sids on the Right Channel. So to select Sid 3 for example, you must select L as the channel, and 2 as the Sid number. You are basically selecting which sid you want to control. Youre not muting any of channels, youre just telling the app, which sid you would like to play with. So if you went to do a filter sweep, you would be controlling the filter of SID 3 only *note ive never finished a control surface before but im pretty certain this is correct. This is the same on a lot of commercial synths, for instance the novation KS's Oscillators share the same knobs. So you must push a button to select OSC 1, OSC 2, or OSC3 first before you can change their parameters.

Same here, not sure where i got that assumption either!

Thats not a bad idea, funnily enough i just noticed Arturia's Origin appears to be both rackmountable and desktop: Its my first time noticing something that can be used both ways, most likely not the first module that can do both. Sorry for an un-productive reply.

Thats great to hear guys! Asid XP is quite flaky alright, i have to use all sorts of tricks to get it to play tracks, its funny how when the sound goes you can still hear the track at a ridiculously low volume. Gyroscope.sid is one track that will always play no matter what, it possibly resets the volume register, at the start of the track. I feel like buying a mac now! I guess the only real way of getting this to work on a PC is to install OSX X86 right?

Which knobs do you mean by "these"? Do you mean the ALBS knobs?

Electronics basics covers a very wide range of topics, trying to find information on specific parts, in a separate sub forum, that deals with such a wide range is a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Since this is a sub forum dedicated to parts, i cant see how 1 single sticky with the appropriate links could hurt. ;)

Then sticky one of them! :P What would be cool is a thread thats like the parts page in the wiki. With all the relevant links and stuff. A sticky for just pots would be a bit overkill alright, so we should have a general parts sticky instead.

Doesnt sound too far from the soft synth hes working on now! :P FAIL TOY? meh

Yes. The sammichSID is the exact same as a Midibox SID, with 2 sid chips in it.

That would be great dude! Thanks! :) mks midi implant.doc
