  4. Sammich UK PSU

    in MIDIbox SID

    its a SID not an FM, but im burnt out on this, spending hours looking for a power supply after the last one killing my LCD seemingly, its just an outdated design that is no longer usable to be fair, everything is switchmode now.

  13. MIDIbox CV V2 Concept

    Here's a mad idea, hows about a slight mod of this using a couple of Bassboys running into some analogue filters (Seppos in my case)

    Could be an amazing hybrid Digi osc/Analogue filter hybrid, all it would need is for this to be modded slightly to have a MIDI out to trigger the Bassboys and the ability to add 12 controls for the Bassboys :)

  20. GM5: Least-cost USB-MIDI Interface Chip for 4.50 EUR

    nILS will tell you that i actually devastated a GM5

    It's a long story but needless to say i put so much heat through it with the iron it should have been liquid

    I am not kidding now i was pulling my hair out after hours trying to get it to solder (Involvinga broken iron and everything, a true nightmare)

    However even after all these hours of frying the chip i eventually used a different iron

    And got it to take and the thing still works perfectly now

    Just don't give up on these things

    A technique that i use now (And im sure people will laugh at this)

    Tin the pads on the board

    Tape the SMD in place using a piece of insulation tape then heat up a leg until you get a tack

    Then just solder it best you can and don't worry about excess solder

    Then use wick to clean it up and make sure there are no shorts

    Hope this helps but all i want to do here is stress that these are doable even by a complete knuckle like me

    Flexi

    Oh PS i have done a few more since and each one gets easier as you get more confident ;)
