So last night I finished building my sammichSID. I used midi ox to upload the patches but after uplaoding, every other patch is empty. I have a feeling that there is a setting in midi ox I have to change, but the help file in midi ox isn't helping me much. Has anyone else seen this before? and if so, how did you fix it? I did read that I had to enable a delay after the F7 command, but I can't seem to find a setting like that in midi ox.

Oh, I'm definately gonna make my own arps and other patches, but I'm looking for some immediate gratification :) I've got the same red on the back panel too. It's actually a little darker than I would like but it's growing on me.

Do not eat this sammich! I just finished, time for some pics :) Also; I've been searching, but can't seem to find patch banks to download. Where are they hiding?

Dude, I did the same thing just now. But I cleaned up some of the heatsinking compound and everything is working great!

I must have been lucky with my alignment, I followed the original instructions and everything lined up perfectly. My engravings don't look nearly as good as TKs though.

thanks for the info. I just wish they had an actual storefront as All Electronics is right down the street from me :P

Yep, I've used the same technique on a lot of projects.

That case (the wood and stain, not the shape) looks really similar to what I chose for my Paia fatman. Nice choice!

I apologize for the hand holding here, but I'm afraid that a little bit is neccessary. :P Sorry, I was being dense, I was not measuring between the middle pin and the input pin. When I do so, I get 12.91v. When I measure between the input pin and middle pin on V3, I get 3.72v. The same is true of V2.

It's worth mentioning that I've gone over the solder joints in the PSU section to be sure there are no cold joints and did not see any bridges where there shouldn't be any. *editited to get rid of confusing irrelivant information.

I appreciate the quick responses, thanks guys! I'll have to double check again tonight when I get home from work, but I think I had checked the output from V1 and only measured around 3v. Last night, I quickly looked over the solder joints in the PSU section but didn't see any shorts. I'll double and triple check again tonight and post the results.

I've got the VRs in the correct places and correctly mounted. The jumpers are also correct. I double checked the VRs and jumpers both last night and agian this morning. But when I measure the voltages at J1_SID1, I get the same meaurements as at J4; ~2.5v and ~3v respectively.

I'm building an MB SID using the MB6582 baseboard from smash, and I've run into a problem. I'm using PSU option B. At J4 I'm measuring just over 5v between 5v and ground, but between 9v and ground I'm only measuring 2.48v and between 12v and ground I get 3.08v. I've tried 3 different power supplies, all with similar results. The power supplies themselves are good because I get 5v where I should, and also 9v ac wher I should be seeing that. If anybody can point me in the driection of what to check, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Jeff

that's pretty damn awesome! Great work!

That's because the FL version doesn't actually create VSTs, but rather native FL plugins. The standalone can export actual VSTs.

Have you tried Synthmaker in FL? It may be a good option. The Dashboards in FL are being replaced by FL Synthmaker. I'm not sure if they are being dropped completely with the release of FL 9, which is in about a week, but it's possible. With FL synthmaker it's only possible to export FL plugins rather than VSTs, but If someone is willing to do the leg work I have a standalone copy of Synthmaker and would gladly export a dashboard to VST to post here. By the way, are you two on the Image-Line forums?

this is OT, sorry... I'm just curious since I use FL also, are you on the Image-Line forums? If so, what's your username? Mine's the same as on here.

Fry's is way overpriced, Mouser is a much better option IMO.

You could probably just call Alesis, and say you need a replacement. Not the cheapest option I'm sure, but I bet it'd work.

I ended up using front panel designer because the guy that was going to make the front panel for me got laid off :(

This is not midibox related, but does involve some of my music... Go have a listen to my entry in the Depeche Mode remix contest at beatport.com, sign up for an account over there and be sure to 'spin' my track if you like it. http://www.beatportal.com/remix/detail/peace-labelwhore-remix/#comments Thanks, Jeff

Yep, that's what I want to do. I saw this page, but somehow missed the din and dout wiring pdfs. So after looking those over I think I will go in this direction to save myself from pulling any more hair out over this project...

I've had so much trouble with the modular PCBs that I'm thinking of just starting over using a 6582 baseboard from smash. I already have my frontpanel made up and don't really want my MBSid in the PT10 case. So before I go and get myself really stuck, is there a wiring guide for a custom CS using the 6582 baseboard? I searched the wiki and the forums, but didn't find anything. Thanks, Jeff

In that case there is definitely an issue either with some solder joints, or even possibly the PIC itself. I was getting 0v at RC/SC and ground at J9 on the core. So, I checked ground and RC/SC at the PIC and measured 0v there as well.
