Thanks for the link about the DC offset, but still no luck. It could still just be because i am using an 8580. If i send a completly digitized track the is no MIDI activity at all, except that it sends the track name, so i assume thats ASIDXP. If i send a half digitized track, such as Outrun in my last post, there is MIDI activity & if i turn the volume way up i can just hear the standard SID sounds but not the sampled bits ??? Is there anyone else who uses MIOS & SidPlayerMode with a 6581? to confirm if it is the 8580 or not? Heres a few more Pics of the box (and the birds nest that lies within :-[), the back is not quite finished yet.

Thanks for the help, there are many games & demo tunes that use sampled music & sounds, along with "standard" SID sounds. Some tunes are fully sampled, created on other music devices then digitized and pumped through the SID, i suppose totally defeating the object of creating music with the SID. But it's fascinating how this almost 25 year old chip handles these samples and adds its own definition to them. Thanks for the compliments on my box, i shall post some better pictures when i am back at home on monday. Heres a classic sample tune from Jeroen Tel, Outrun Europa from Sega 1991. Emulated by SidPlayer, sadly not my real SID :( Outrun Europa - Jeron Tel.mp3 Outrun Europa - Jeron Tel.mp3

Hi there i'm Jay, finished building my MidiboxSid a few weeks ago :) So excited when it arrived i had it built and working! in just a few hours! Its a single 8580, built purely so i can listen to ripped sid files through ASIDXP. However i am very interested in the SID's ability to reproduce digitized sound samples through some sort of hardware glitch, i havn't got a clue how. I have realised that through ASIDXP/SidplayerW2 digitized sounds are not played. Can this glitch only be created while the SID is in the C64 or when sid files are played with a sofware emulator? Is it at all possible for MIOS & MidiboxSid to reproduce these digitized samples? Thanks DSC00177.JPG DSC00176.JPG DSC00177.JPG DSC00176.JPG
