[sammichSID for sale (2x 6582A)]

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

=====================

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.

=================

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!!!

[SammichSID Rotary Encoder Dysfunction]

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
