Haha funny pic. I've built the interface end all.. But no sound. Does it need a preamp ? Also I used a 3.579545 MHz crystal and devided it with a 74F74N. It could not get any other. Is this a problem ? Does any of the chips 74HC574, 74F74N or pokey have some pins that need to be tied to ground which is not indicated on the schematic ? Like unused CMOS gates ? Thanks alot !

Thanks for the help ! I installed a trial of LoopBe30, and the prog. works.. Now onto building the interface :) I'll probably have some more q's..

So I must have a USB MIDI interface? Or is one of those gameports good enough ? It is not possible to make sounds with it without MIDI ?

Thank you very much ! I will try it out. EDIT: Damn it just gives me error report like this: "pokey.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Do I need to run this on an old laptop ? I'm using XP at the moment.

Ok I thought you made the pokey wiki.. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox_pokey If you scroll down you will see there's a windows version.. I've searched alot for the skrasm module.. I've seen the blog, and I've also checked out some forum threads, but there's not really any info..

Sry for opening what seems to be a dead thread. Where can I find the windows version of the LPT -> Pokey software ?? Did I miss the DL link or what ? I don't have the means to build the Midibox Pokey at the moment so a little playing around with the LPT -> Pokey in the mean time would be nice.. Thanks alot.. Also does anyone know if skrasm's CV pokey module is realeased somewhere ? I have two pokey's two YM2149F and two AY-3-8912 :P

Thanks for the replys.. Actually I do.. I want this guy to play with modular synths and other funky doo-dads.. :D Well then I guess I can't use the wilba case design then.. Judging from the size I'm going to have a hard time fitting the extra modules in there.. Then I'll go for the C64 case I think.. Looks pretty damn sweet aswell.. Is the AIN and AOUT modules supported by the MB-6582 Baseboard ? Is there connectors on there, for this purpose or am I going to have to "mod" it... ? Theres permanently 8 "banksticks" wired on the board yes ? This is what the LPT port is for right ?

Hello.. First post. Been lurking for some time, deciding if I have the money to build MBSID v2.. I don't, but I'm going for it anyway :) So I want to use wilbas design (WHO DOSEN'T !!!) I'm buying the MB-6582 Baseboard Parts Kit + PIC's from SmashTV.. I need AIn, AOut, DIn, DOut and MIDI offcause.. Is all this on the board ? What about those rotary encoders.. Why should I get them without a switch.. Why should I get them with a switch ? What is the difference when using the MBSID ? Do I need anything else ? Thank you !
