  1. [SOLD] sammichFM

    in Fleamarket

    Posted · Edited by kristal=

    $200 = 162EUR :(

    Or are you just concerned with import taxes? If so, I'll sell it for $75 (or less, I'm not familiar with US customs value limits) + invoice if you need. The remaining $239 for "operating expenses" can be paid separately and are not liable to customs duty as they are services.

    edit1:

    Insured shipping to the US is $20 BTW.

    edit2:

    I'll post some pics in the coming days, they will justify the price i'm asking. In fact, it's an isammichFM :-)

  2. [SOLD] sammichFM

    in Fleamarket

    Posted · Edited by kristal=

    Hi guys,

    so I'd like to sell my sammichFM. I hadn't had the time to play with it, so I hope somebody has more than me. It's thoroughly soldered, has blue 15mcd LEDs (no eye burning), a quality Optrex white/black display and some translucent rubber feet, so no surface scratching. I uploaded a video of it on YT. Currently the case has a missing front and backpanel, because I messed up the painting job :whistle: But I talked with Wilba and he kindly provided me with replacement panels. They will arrive next week or so. You may paint them way you want or I'll do a black paint job with an enamel pen (safe). Until then, feel free to be the first one taking advantage of this offer. First come, first serve. Price is what I've paid for the components: 187EUR Kit, 15EUR import taxes, 33EUR Optrex display incl. custom & shipping, 5 EUR LEDs, 16EUR replacement panels.

    Insured shipping is 5,90EUR within Germany, within the EU ~ 10EUR.

    The offer is valid for 2 weeks, after that I'll put the sammichFM on eBay.

    Thanks!

  3. Does anybody sell SID 8580?

    in Fleamarket

    Posted · Edited by kristal=

    De nada ;)

    I did business with kaligula76 before, he can be trusted and has probably several 8580 in stock but not listed. Send him a mail, he might put you an 8580 auction up if you are keen on the 8580 ones. But go for insured shipping - it's a long distance and postal people are sometimes underpaid or just tired and your shipment will be lost. It's only 5,50 EUR to Argentina via Deutsche Post

  7. swinSID Nano / SID replacement

    I think I figured it out:

    Set Board jumper: bridged = decreased volume due to R3 being on / unbridged = increased volume

    Filter jumper: bridged = 6581 / unbridged = 8580

    according to x1541 who said: "Ja er ändert die Emulation auf 6581 wenn er geschlossen ist."

    Hope Swinkels can confirm it.

    @sparx: Sweet. You're welcome! Yeah, the non-documentation of the NSS is very annoying. I plowed through the forum and brought up this: the first bridge (Set Board jumper) is for opening/closing R3. R3 is just a resistor for increasing/decreasing the volume. The NSS is not affected by the 9V/12V issue as far as I'm concerned.

    * Quote x1541 (PCB designer): "Widerstand R3 wird einmal gesetzt oder nicht, je nach Art des C64 Boards, auf das man die Platine steckt. Der Jumper wird gesetzt, je nachdem ob man einen 8580 oder 6581 vom Klang her emulieren möchte. Das kann man je nach Song wählen, oder sogar mitten im Song ändern smile.png Man könnte da sogar einen Schalter anschliessen und nach draussen legen."

    * Quote Swinkels (SwinSID designer): "The R3 controls only output volume level and it is not related to this bug. This bug exists in all SwinSID revisions and it affects very small part of tunes. SwinSID is checking for envelope triggering only once per sample and when then registers are changed inbetween you can hear randomly triggering or fading volume level. To fix this checking must be done every register access and this requires more processing power. With faster 32MHz CPU there is a chance to implement this in further firmware updates for ATMega88.[url=http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/user/14-x1541/]"

    Tried it with my C64 which runs on 12V (the original SID was a 6581R4). After pulling the Set Board jumper, it "pinged" louder. But I think it's best to ask Retro-Donald, because he should know best.

    @nils: cool! you should run a small batch of your pcb design. would love to buy 1-2 pcbs if they are afforable. i mean the material costs for a swinsid should be in the range of 5-8 EUR incl. pcb manufacturing. great for someone who wants to fully stuff a mb-6582 but shies away from ripping 8 c64.

    @grizz: sorry, no sid module at hand :( i can only test it in an old c64, whether the shop owner sold me legit stuff or not. why not buy one, if i can confirm the functionality? it's 18EURs incl. shipping to you.

  17. SammichSID, Zoll Abfertigung

    in Deutsch

    Posted · Edited by kristal=

    @SuburbanBoy: Das Paket liegt immer ungeöffnet beim Zoll rum, öffnen darfst es Du. D.h. vorerst gibt es keine Recherche, da der Zoll nicht weiss, was im Paket drinnen ist. So schaut übrigens das Paket aus: http://www.vimeo.com/24412347

    Nur auf den Platine steht sammichFM, aber ansonsten liegt nix bei, was zur Identifikation beitragen würde. Und wer sagt überhaupt, dass Du den vollen Preis gezahlt hast? Bist Du nicht ein Kumpel von Wilba?

    Edit: Stell Dich auf eine langwierige Suche im Zolltarifsystem ein. Ich hab diese Gruppe hier auf meinem Zollbeleg stehen: http://www.zolltarif...n/85229080.html . Kannst Dir aber auch eine eigene suchen, bloss im Zollamt langweilt das und die Leute dort haben absolut keinen Plan. Stichwort: "Nein, ein Peptidsynthesizer ist das nicht." Nimm die Nummer mit zum Zollamt, auf der sind 4% Zoll drauf, der aber wegfällt, wenn es sich um einen Warenwert unter 100EUR handelt. Wenn Du Wilba nur $100 gezahlt hast, sollte das der Fall sein.

    I had to look up "convoluted", "erudite" and "droll". Sorry, English is not my mother tongue. :whistle:

    @Peter Lindener:

    So as I noticed from your posts you are eager to contribute to the Midibox community and unleash your academic superpowers. The idea of merging the Arduino platform with the midibox platform wasn't a good one as we found out, but this doesn't mean your skills aren't needed. Why not extending ultra's Ableton launcher with my LCD-button matrix idea? Have a look here:

    I'm currently too busy with my daily workload and when I have some free time, I'd rather use it to program my brain instead of the Core32 module. Yeah I know, but after installing the toolchain I lost interest and cared more for sports, meditation and arts in general. So why not dischare your energy on that project? Most advanced Ableton users will find that useful, you can bring yourself in and maybe distribute a kit, which probably can be sold without any losses. Classic win-win situation. Watcha think?

    If i have a case in my hands, i can use real-world measurements to make certain that evreything fits together as nicely as possible : ) I think being sure is worth a short delay : )

    definitely! how much would you charge for a front and backpanel? when time has come, I would like to buy both of them from you, too.

    Lol'd at the Satan thing. Oh no, flamewars... let the numbers speak. Did some testings with my Terratec Phase USB 26 (24bit/48khz) and the Spectrum Analyzer in Live. First spectrum shows the signals of the shut off click and the signal of the sammich being turned on without ever being played or being shut off via the power switch. Second spectrum shows the signal of the Rhodes Piano played and then the signal of the sammich being stopped playing tunes. There is a slight difference (the -24db peak at 500hz) between the signal being on but stopped playing and being turned on anew. You can see it, but you can't hear it. Has someone an opinion on why this happens? Noticed the same thing with the sammichSID back then.

    Did read all :thumbsup: So I plugged in my goobay PSU and listened closly to it. Indeed, it produces some kind of high-pitched, squeeky noise. I consider myself having a good hearing, I never go to concerts without earplugs. But this squeeky noise doesn't appear on the headphones. They are Sony MDR-V500 ones, not the best, but also not the worst. I'm not sure, if the not hearing is due to the headphones. Will check the signal of the audio output with my soundcard. Maybe I can see it, instead of hearing it. Will report later on.

    The PSU from Pollin turned out as a switch-mode PSU from goobay. But I do not notice any noise. At least when no sound is generated. In contrary to my sammichSID, where I always noticed a slight hum even when no sound was generated. So my question is: how do I have to understand the sentence "They generate far too much noise in the audio." from the building guide? Only noise within the sound generation or a general noise on the audio outputs?

    So I'm pretty much complete with assembling the Sammich, just ruined the case lettering with a bad matching color. :phone: Hope I can fix that. But I'm very happy with the coloring of my kit :heart: Here is a shot. Did I mention that the usual suspects did an amazing job on designing the whole kit? I can tell you they did!
