hi, hast du eine spezielle passage, bei der du hängst? an sich sind die kommentare eher einfach gehalten, aber vielleicht hast du ja ne konkrete frage.

yup mine too! thanks!

great news!! thank you!

maybe we could also ask julianF? idk, maybe he's interested, as he's already producing the MB6582 and Seq panels... just an idea, as the milled plexi would be the most preferrable solution, no? from my impression the ones from twin-x were looking great. btw i also need two SeqV4 windows!

twin-X himself made them back then. they were 1.5mm + 1.5mm. i had other plans how i'd do it and gave them away, and just recently decided to go with the original design again. so i'd need some for the 6582 and SeqV4.

indeed. i guess they've been cut from one piece? (not glued?) they look as good as the ones Twin-X used to do once.

hehe you just rained on my parade! i had the same idea, that colour seems really unpopular.

that's just a capacitor to clean the power rail, between Vcc (+5V at pin 25) and gnd, so no sound there. so the cap type is fine, i just can't recall atm if the pitch is right. the one you linked to is 5mm (RM5), too lazy to unpack my board right now to look

yup, me too, i'll take one

looks even better! @Hawkeye, the encoders are the ones from Pollin, they're really stable, even after removing the click. only drawback here's that you need to drill 14mm holes if i remember right, as the shaft isn't removable. nice work, mfk.

if you're going to build a midibox64 anyway and need just a really good keyboard, i'd recommend an ensoniq mirage, or a casio VZ-1. the mirage for example has weighted keys , they're all very sturdy and way better than any of the crap you can buy today, especially for the price. such keyboards usually always go for lower than 200€ on ebay. also a good keyboard i had was the ensoniq EPS. good sampler too, btw!

if you build the MB6582 yopu can get almost everything from smashTV. what you'll need apart from the board set and the base board kit is the encoders (also from smash), a bunch of 3mm LEDs (smash got them too), a 4x20 LCD and a pack of 6X6 mini tact switches (it's important to have the right height so check everything with Wilba's building instructions) also you need to decide which kind of power supply you like to build and stuff the base board accordingly. also if you do it all stock, you'll need a panel and a PT-10 case, you could get those from JulianF as far as i know. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_6582 Hawkeye wrote a complete CS walkthrough:

yeah, sorry. that was rude. my apologies

hasn't passed the captcha yet, maybe some new type of spambot?

the resistors are only acting as voltage dividers. they are just all hooked to the same +V and GND. to have resistances all parallel it would be necessary to also join all wiper pins together, which is not the case. so there shouldn't be interaction between the pots if everything's installed correctly.

habs gerade probiert, bei mir gehts auch. was bei mir nicht geht seit dem serverwechsel, egal welcher browser ist die Portal sektion, normalerweise seh ich immer zuerst nach den aktiven topics

yeah littlediode always seem to have what i need, just for big bux usually a few months ago i requested a quotation for them from utsource. if i remember right they were $5 each. i doubt they carry them all the time but sometimes it's good to ask there.

nope, not stuffing the boards shouldn't change anything. you could start with checking where the problem is, eg disconnecting the boards and check the resistance between 5V and gnd. seems like a short somewhere. if a board is ok you could connect it again (one board at a time) and see if everything stays alright. on the lcd there's not much to solder, so you could probably spot a short visually very easy, if there is one. edit: maybe first make sure the lcd works, then the individual dins and douts. if these are alright maybe there's something wrong with the cs wiring

welcome! basically there are 3 choices: -build your SID synth the modular way: core(s), sid module(s), DIN, DOUT. how many you need depends on how big a project you like to build (minmal or full control surface) for example the one you linked to is TK's MBsid, made with individual modules, for exactly this setup there's even a plug & play firmware available. sids can be from 1 up to 8. -MB6582, 8fold SID, actually the same as the one above but all you need on 2 big boards with minimal wiring. recommended if you like the big one. there are building guides in the WIKI and all kinds of info here on the forum about this (search) -sammichSID: all in one, ABSOLUTE newbie friendly solution also incl. case for 1-2 sids, that's 2 stackable boards. also with great documentation and all info available. for soulutions 1 and 2 are parts kits available, for the sammichSID the best way would be to PM Wilba about it, he's doing bulk orders for this one now and then here's the sellers: http://www.avishowtech.com/ http://www.mikes-elektronikseite.de/
