Not exactly what you are looking for but it is what I use to test my SIDs: Plogue's SID benchmark

I am now no longer a sammich short of a picnic. :thumbsup:

Mine arrived yesterday too. Thank you very much for all your efforts Phunk.

Feelin' the love......... :thumbsup: Welcome! This may be a good starting point, though it is quite an old post. The Korg PS series use divide down oscillators similar to the Delta I believe.

Matrixsynth blog post title > ASID not ACID methinks. It also looks like TBS have removed the offending item from their site, at last. I hope the Karma police get them.....

Is the boat big enough for me too? ;-) Any tips for weight-loss that don't involve not eating nice things?

:w00t: :drool: my gast is well and truly flabbered. Needless to say, Iwantoneofthosedotcom!

Ha, ha. I must be really gullible. That's two I nearly fell for, the other being this ;-) Gmail Motion

Phunking awesome :thumbsup: Thanks for the update.

:D lol - Musical poos? Plop resonance? They may have trouble upholding that patent in a court of law!

I got one recently also and then proceeded to ruin the digital controller PCB :-S. In my haste and excitement I managed to solder the 74XXXX logic chips onto the wrong side of the board and no amount of de-soldering would fix it. A VERY painful experience (thanks IRC friends for being so understanding ;-) and one which I will not repeat. WARNING TO ALL = always read the instructions at least three times before doing anything! Luckily, I managed to get the last remaining PCB from the current batch..... I shall be leaving my ham-fists and cack-hands at the door next time :-)

If "I would like to buy 1440 knobs please" does not grab their attention then I don't know what will! Thanks for persevering phunk.

Nice find! It looks like the PEL-12S are the ones without momentary switches (don't need them) but looking at the specification compared with these Alpha encoders from Mouser (confirmed working by others from ) shows that the footprint is quite a bit smaller than the Alpha encoders. This would probably mean that the legs/tabs would not fit the holes on the PCB? And where are the terminals for the LED? The other specifications pretty much match up though. I may be wrong - perhaps someone more knowledgeable about these things can confirm?

Awesome work Phunk! :thumbsup: Yipee!

Hi Phunk, Could you put me on your list for 30 black/transparent and 30 black/red please? If numbers are limited and the knobs are only available to the privileged and needy then I will settle for 15 of either red/black or black/transparent. Does Wilba's comment regarding wanting 3000 suggest that absolutely everybody (including beyond midibox) wants these knobs but they are only sold to a select or preferred customer? Thanks for negotiating on behalf of all of us Phunk - it is probably easier for you living in Germany and you are more likely to get a response than I (who knows little German if any). Cheers, Joe

I'd be happy to organise the bulk order including dealing with redistribution and postage etc. I'm UK based (=EU) and customs should not be a problem. I have just sent another email to Albs to ask for a quote including shipping for 100 black/red and 60 black/transparent knobs. I will only confirm the quote and make a purchase once I hear back from them (or from Phil or phunk or anyone else on this forum). If somebody else would rather do the bulk order or deal with Albs then let me know. I have funds waiting and am keen to get these knobs ASAP. I've scoured the net for other knobs but none that I have found really 'cut the mustard' if you know what I mean :wink:

Consider me in! I am looking for 15 Waldorf knobs of any colour but preferably red and black for my MB6582. I'd probably want another 15-20 for future projects too. I emailed Albs.de some months ago asking for prices and minimum order levels etc and never heard back from them at all.... :( How many interested people do we need to start a bulk order?. More to the point, is anybody volunteering to start one? :wink: Happy New Year comrades!! :D

All sold. Many thanks to all buyers. I will be posting them tomorrow all being well. Any problems PM me and let me know.

Hi all, FOR SALE: 5x 6581s and 2x 8580s I thought I would offer these here, first refusal stylee, before I put them on the 'bay. Prices reflect a combination of what others are selling them for and the amount of time I took to test them. They are all harvested from various C64s I picked up here and there and are all fully functional. I have tested them all using Plogue's SID benchmark program on a real C64 (http://ploguechipsounds.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-page-basic-sid-benchmark.html) and have recorded the output for each SID which you can download below. I also tested them using the MSSIAH cartridge and did some basic testing playing SID files via my MB6582 and via the SID player application in my Ultimate 1541-II. Pretty exhaustive testing all in all! The only functions I did not test exhaustively were the ones detailed on Plogue chipsounds' Blog, namely Pulse Width Modulation sweeps, ring mod or hard sync, though ring mod and hard sync type sounds worked in the SID files that I played. You can use the audio files for the correct sounding chips on Plogue's Blog as reference to compare with my recordings of these chips for sale. The 6581s are £24 each and the 8580s are £29 each. Postage in the UK via Royal Mail Recorded is £2.50 flat rate for up to 2 SIDs, any more than that and I will have to send using Special Delivery (for insurance purposes) which will cost £5. Postage to other countries is at cost and I'll get a personal quote for anyone interested. The SIDs in the photos are in chronological order, top to bottom, the benchmark audio files are named after the date code printed on the SID. The fifth SID down (a 6581R3) has the print nearly worn off as can be seen in the photo. However, I can confirm this is a real live working SID. Most of the 6581s have a strange amplitude modulation effect or anomalous aliasing during the Pulse+Saw wave tests (see Plogue's Blog regarding this) and I believe it can be considered normal. It occurs to some degree or another on virtually every single 6581 and 6581R3 that I have tested including the four that I own. The 6581R4ARs that I have don't seem to suffer from this as badly. You will notice that the SID date marked 2083 has this strange effect but more pronounced than the others. All I can say is that I can not hear a difference when the SID is in operation in the MB6582 or the MSSIAH..... Can anyone enlighten me as to why this happens or what it means? Could it be the design flaws of the 6581 manifesting in these tests?.... First come, first served. Once you have made a declaration of interest, I will PM you with my Paypal account email address. 1.

PCM playback was more than wishful thinking on my behalf.......

Great link.....and the man himself explains it in the last post. It is oscillator sync and not ring-mod..... clever stuff indeed.

I think you are referring to 'Hot_Mommas' by 'Jammer' (see my reply #11 above) and I believe it uses some clever ring modulation and possibly changing filters. No PCM samples at all at all. It is totally awesome though eh!? I love it. I tried playing that particular tune back through ASID XP and then muted each channel in turn and it seems one of the channels controls the shape of an oscillator on another channel. Or something.
