Those buttons from Reichelt look exactly like those who are built into the Access Virus A. nice find ! :thumbsup:

Klingt ja klasse.. bin zwar kein bayer aber tiroler.. is ja fast dasselbe ;) Macht mal videos von der Session würd ich gerne sehen, bin leider noch nicht ansatzweise soweit das ich mit der MB-6582 jammen könnte erst heists "read the fucking manual" :ahappy:

Have fun building it, i just finished mine.. feeling really satisfied at the moment. Good luck :clover:

I inserted all 8 Sids and tried to Select SID2,3,4 but there was a CAN BUS Error.. I then uploaded the MB6582 Hex via mios studio by changing jumper setting and device ID one by one. I could now select all 4 SIDs.. I tried to clone via the MENU button once again, now everything works.. Yeeeha.. Fully functional MB-6582.. i cant believe it :queen: Only Problem is that SID4 seems really silent. all the other 3SID Engines have good volume ?! How come ? All 8 Sids are the ones Wilba sold.. PS: OK Problem solved.. it was a Resistor that had a little short circuit.. it measured 0,4 Ohms insted of 10K... cleaned the backside more carefully, now everything WORKS !!!!!!! I also changed the LED resistors from 1K to 500Ohm.. The UV Leds are perfect now!

Just for quick info: After 6 hours of massive troubleshoot i found the problem. I bought 100 ohm resistors from Reichelt.de i usually measure every resistor before i solder it in, but on the 100 ohms i didnt.. so i measured them... 215 ohm's.. i changed them to 100 Ohms. the problem still was there... I changed all the capacitors on the core section.. problem was still there.. i changed all LEDs that flickered, and all that didnt light up at all, also resoldered everything again.. Wooohoo -> no problems with the buttons and LEDs anymore :ahappy: Only Problem thats still there is when i hold down menu when powering it up it clones to slaves.. seems to work till the end when it displays "SLAVE 03 FAILED" I swapped the pic from 2 <-> 3 .. but it still says SLAVE 03 FAILED :frantics: Someone got an idea ? Thanks :sweat:

Hello Thorsten. I uploaded setup_mb6582.hex Any help would be greatly appreciated :console: Thanks PS: Reuploaded setup_mb6582 hex.. i tried to clone the pics with holding down menu it says SLAVE 03 Failed !!! Also the following LEDs arent working (i changed LEDs still not working): ROW 5 Column 7 ROW 6 Column 3 Left Channel LED Sync LED Please help :cry:

Hello. I finished my MB-6582 and got some problems :pinch: First of all i double checked the ribbon cable connections (JD) and resoldered every pin more than once. I dont know where to look.. This is the behavior: When i press the Button in the Pulse Width 03 Row: Control LEDs flicker, LFO LED flickers. When i press the Button for M7 (7th Column): Changes LFO Waveform When i press the Button for M6 (6th Column): MOD Sync LED flickers When i press the Button for M4 (4th Column): Selects Play When i press the Button for M3 (3rd Column): Changes Patch, Selects SID2, selects other options when pressing it a couple of times When i press the Button for M2 (2nd Column): Selects SID3, Changes Mode to CC When i press the Button for M1 (1st Column): Selects SID4, Changes ENV Setting I dont know where exactly to start, maybe its not the cables or connections, maybe some electrical part is bad ?! What would you suggest ? Thanks for helping all !!! :clover:

Hey Hawkeye. Thanks for your response. I guess i will have to read the manual and start playing around because the MB-6582 is so stuffed with features that i havent had on other synthesizers before. A lot of stuff to learn i guess. Should i post the button Problem in the Troubleshooting forum or do "greater minds" show up from time to time here ? :shifty: I hope the knobs come soon, maybe i will fix the broken leds the next days, even if the allignment is such a pain in my case. I guess only the hard road leads to satisfaction ?! :ahappy:

@krisschneider Thanks, dont forget about the x0xb0x and the gameboy.. which makes the setup complete :sorcerer: @Hawkeye I looked through the manual i dont see an exact explanation how it should work. The buttons themself work.. when i press a button on the X axis the row lights up, same for Y axis... but when i combine X and Y Axis it also works but does weird things like changing SID Engine from 1 to 4... or Changing from Matrix to Meter mode. How can that possibly be ? i checked the connections all look fine :wacko:

I jammed a little with the MB-6582.. i dont really get how the Matrix works ? When i press lets say OSC3 Pitch on 4 it switches to SID Engine 4 (which isnt installed yet). Is it normal or have i got a short on the matrix anywhere ? where in the manual is the function of the matrix described ? Or lets say i press Nr 2 at the 03 Pitch Row.. it changes from Matrix to Meter Mode ?!?!?! something must be wrong ?!

Thanks for the kind words, without your tutorial i think i would have messed up some parts, so thanks to you that everything went so good, and thanks to the community that is so supporting no matter what !!! On the gameboy there is LSDJ with a LSDJMC Midi Controller. Also Pitch Mod and Prosound Mod fully stuffed the DMG ;) I am using the gameboy mainly for psychedelic psytrance melodies that are in the background with some little effects. An pretty old live improvisation is on youtube: PS: Just bought this sticker.. i wonder how it would look on my MB-6582 ?

It cant be the temperature of the soldering process because i solder @ lightspeed.. cant be the temp :super: Its those cheap chinese LEDs i guess :poke:

Hey Pingosimon.. I already know that the LEDs are broken, i used my multimeters Diode Testing feature. Thanks for the reply.

Hey hawkeye.. i just foundout myself.. Damn you Trimpot !!!!.. :frantics: I already thought this is the End of my life.. Thanks for answering that fast.. Here are some pics.. Yeeeeha.. Only Knobs and some small pieces missing.. :heart: :D I made a quick wire up to test if the SIDs are working, sounds good as far as i can tell. When planning the construction and choosing the colours i was thinking the "day of the tentacle" colour combo would not look that good, but i am pretty happy with the result :laugh: PS: Following LEDs arent Working: OSC2 Pulse Width Nr. 7 OSC3 Pulse Width Nr. 3 Sync Left Channel LED As far as i measured them i can say they are gone, 4 wrecked ones out of 113 is ok, i guess thats normal loss. All the Encoders and Buttons work, except the EXT IN Button ?! Why is that ?! Some LEDs are not as bright as the others, what could be the problem here ? Are there more patches available other than the v2 vintage bank ? Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks

Ooooh my god :( I had such a good run.. i sanded all 113 LEDs.. redid all the holes on the panel, soldered all the LEDs, Feedback Pots, measured the voltages, everything fine! Soldered the Control to the Base board, gave it a spin.. When i turn it on, the LCD is lightning up but doesnt display anything. Also no LED is lightning up i dont know if this is normal (havent uploaded MB SID via Sysex yet) I got one PIC inserted and one SID. LCD is this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170440870233 I checked the pins they should be alright. What can be wrong.. i am totally down at the moment, everything went so good.. now this.. Damnit Please help :ermm:

Aaaah.. now i remember why i actually ordered 100k's.. because i read it in your thread :thumbsup: Soldering is one of the things i really think will be the smallest problem :) I got my Flat top leds today.. They really go in pretty hard, i guess i will have a hard time aligning those to my panel. But first of i gotta sand every single led because i want to have diffuse uv leds. they are not so cruel to look at like purple or blue, but still look fancy. I just double checked the pins on the Base Board, looking pretty good, as far as i can tell, will clean the whole thing tomorrow before i start Voltage measurements. Hopefully the Heatsinks come soon. I am cooling every Sid chip, also adding a 40mm fan and vents. I want to go a 100% sure, like i did with the x0xb0x. You cant cool it too much ;) So i can use the 100k's.. well thats good news, so i can solder some stuff tomorrow. I feel so incomplete without the solder vapours :nuke: :D
