Dear Midibox Community, i would like to sell my sammichSID, which needs a little bit of love and service. The device has not been used for many years and I would be happy if someone still has joy with the device. The sammichSID has been built very carefully and cleanly around 2010. Black Case Red LEDs Blue LCD 2x 6582A SID-Chips inside The device still seems to work flawlessly (as far as I could test it): Microcontroller, Display, LEDs, MIDI, sound, push buttons. Both SID chips are outputting sounds without errors. Known Issues: The "Rotary Encoder" is not working properly (parameter jumps). The left acryl-part from the case is broken (during a move) and has been fixed temporary with a black sticker. The matching PSU and a special audio cable (6.3 mm stereo to 2x 6.3 mm mono) are included. The device is located in Germany. International shipping would be ok for me. I have no idea what price is reasonable. Just make me an offer by PM. Best regards Dennis 2x 6582A

setup_sammich_sid.hex ===================== The 5th item (i.e. K#5 or K#V) value is blinking while I am changing it with the encoder. When I select another value (i.e. OSC) and want to change it with the rotary encoder, it jumps to the knobs-menu. sammichCSTest.hex ================= The lamps are working fine :-) Here we go with the buttons: - 4: Menu 1 pressed/released - 5: Menu 2 pressed/released - 6: Menu 3 pressed/released - 7: Menu 4 pressed/released - 0: Menu 5 pressed/released - 3: F1 pressed/released - 2: F2 pressed/released - 1: F3 pressed/released - 10: Shift pressed/released - 8: Menu pressed/released - 11: Down pressed/released - 9: Up pressed/released --> PERFECT! Everything working fine! Now the rotary encoder: Turn left -> 13: Encoder Turn right -> 12: Encoder BUT SOMETIMES: 14: Unused 1 15: Unused 2 There is the problem!!!

AFTER the "MIDIbox SID boot" this screen appears (as it should): Scenario 1: When I press Button "F2" it jumps to the Knobs page: K#1 to K#5 Then when I move the rotary encoder I can edit K#5. Scenario 2: When I move the rotary encoder it jumps to the Knobs page: K#2 to K#V !!! AND the sound begins to play! (Same as Button F1) Then when I move the rotary encoder I can edit K#V. Maybe there is a short between the Buttons F1/F2 and the rotary encoder. But I can't see it. I also tried to change the two 74HC165 with each other ... no difference. Thanks for your help! :-)

Thanks for the fast help! BTW: Sorry for the bad photos ... better pics will follow if needed! - I uploaded the right *.hex-File. Here is the boot-screen: - The resistors do have the right orientation. (checked) - There does not seem to be a short between the buttons or the encoder. (checked) My idea is that there might be a short at the resistor 74HC165 where the rotary encoder is connected to ... Could this be possible?

Hi there, I finally finished my sammichSID. Everything is working pretty fine. I was able to upload the *hex-file and the preset sounds. The lights are blinking ... the sound is awesome! :-) BUT there is a strange behavior of the rotary encoder. All other buttons "seem" to be working. When I turn the rotary encoder right or left it does not change the preset. Instead the sound begins to play and I see a strange menu: The same menu appears when I press button F2. When the menu appears I can use the rotary encoder to change the value (K#V). VERY STRANGE! :-) Any ideas? I have another small question: How can I reach Preset Bank B - D ? I tried the UP/DOWN Buttons ... but I can only navigate from A001 to A128. Thanks in advance! Dennis
