Thank you Thorsten. I really liked that sound. Some sounds I built them from scratch (I will post more songs soon). But some sounds I used them unchanged, because they sound as the way it should be. Very well done patches TK. :)

Midibox SID was one of my first projects, i built it 4 years ago. I was a beginner, all the wiring looks horror for me now. In time I learned Orcad and I built Midibox FM redisigning in my way the PCB. (built 1 year ago) The boxes are made with Autocad. And the prints are on printed sticker.

He he ! Old times ! I didn't have a commodore. When I was 15, I had a Sinclare Z80. I was a big fan of Dizzy series. I bought a non working commodore and transformed it in a midibox speakjet. Thx for the comment on youtube. I appreciate it.

"I did that too" :) I sold my mc-505 and mc-307 five years ago. And I bought a Monomachine, and I was very inspired by it, because I don't like to make music with the computer.

Super ! I'm building too, a Mdibox Seq. I hope it will be ready soon. You maked some songs with your synths ?

Thank man ! What about you ? Did you build a midibox project yourself ? :)

Hello midibox builders. Here are some soundbites form the new electro band called "Loved by Ghosts". We use almost entirely DIY synthesizers projects from the web, built by ourselves. Our favourites are midibox SID and midibox FM sequenced by a Monomachine. Enjoy our music, more songs will come. http://www.lovedbyghosts.com/ http://www.facebook.com/lovedbyghosts/ http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2011/06/loved-by-ghosts-sonic-hysteria.html

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy with work and other projects, and i forgot about speakjet. Yes, i've tried evrey version of software. Now on pic's is instaled mod version hex. No, it's not the test mode, it's only one note (vocal) cycle, that repeats continuosly. The ain's are grounded. In fact the k2 is working with evry software release, when i press the commodore keyboard, or send midi from another source, on screen do what it must to do. But it's like it don't comunicate with pic16f88, or pic16f88 with speakjet. The pcb's links are fine, i'm sure of that. (and i've tried different 16f88 to be sure, that is not defective)

HI ! I've built a full speakjet interface, with commodore keyboard, a year ago, and still not working. Keyboard modul works perfectly ! (lcd, memory etc., everything fine) K-II application, the same, lcd shows everything, and reciving midi data from k64 or external. But the speakjet is dead, it says ready on start, and after enters in a weird cycle of woawoawoa. The 16f88 pic is well programmed, and i tryed every variant of code, nothing works. I've checked, every month the paths, and wires, and everything it's ok. If i pull out the 16f88, and shorten the pins for test on speakjet, the test sound it's ok. The only thing i didn,t check is with rs232, beacause i don't have the max, and no rs232 on computer. And i'm not a novice, i've built 2 sid projects and many other synths, this is the first with so much trouble ! Pearheaps the Speakjet is dead ? Suggestions ? Thank you very much !
