  1. Glad to help :) The SAV(e) menu it's also in the ensemble root menu but you'll have to scroll to the right to see it with a 2x20 LCD. From there "E#: selects the ensemble which should be overwritten" and "do! stores the ensemble. Note that naming is not supported. Only the configuration sections of available MBSIDs will be stored. The last stored ensemble will be reloaded after power-on." according to the manual. Cheers
  2. My way starts from the main menu by pressing "the LEFTMOST SELECT BUTTON to enter the ensemble root menu", again the same button to enter the SID menu. Next select button to the right is for bank selection, after pressing it moving the encoder will change the bank. Saving the newly edited ensemble I've the MIDIbox booting in it next time. Ciao :)

    Wow, awesome!
  4. Ciao Stefano, benvenuto nel forum. Ieri ho letto il tuo post, il problema e' che ho costruito solamente un midibox sid e non so niente dei vari controllers per questo non ti ho risposto. Per fortuna ci ha pensato giuino ed ora qualche cosa te la posso dire anche io. Per il midibox64 od il midibox64e la PIC18F452 dovrebbe andare bene. Il software e' costituito da varie parti la prima delle quali se compri il chip da un comune fornitore di componenti elettronici deve essere programmata da te con un apposito apparecchio (il programmatore di PIC appunto) che nel caso del mio (economico, circa 5e) si collega alla porta seriale del PC. Nei negozi qui consigliati credo siano vendute PIC pre programmate ed in questo caso vanno bene cosi' e passi direttamente alla prossima parte. Una volta completato il modulo core ( e controllato i voltaggi prima di montarci la PIC!)il resto del software lo carichi collegandoci le porte midi del computer e lo puoi aggiornare o provarne vari senza problema. Questo e' anche un modo per testare il funzionamento del modulo appena costruito, un core funzionante e' il tuo primo obbiettivo. E chi jela farebbe senza... :) Ciao, facci sapere.
  5. Arrived today, thanks TK. And nILS of course :)
  6. I've got the envelope at home Thursday, thank you very much TK :D Cheers
  7. Got it, had to use another email account and another user name. I really don't know what's wrong with my usual email, I've always used it successfully till now. Maybe it's some mysterious filter I don't have any control over :getlost:
  8. Well that's a little embarrassing, I'm trying to register myself to the docuwiki to edit tk_mbhp_core_lpc17_bulk_order but looks like I'm not able to :( Specifically I'm not receiving anything to my email account, already checked spam filters but nothing there, I'm trying since yesterday and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
  9. Hi, thanks Tonka for the nice patch! I tried the patch in both my usual MBSID and in a Sammich, showed symptoms are the same. I can upload the patch to memory from the editor and it sounds just fine from what I can tell but it doesn't retain some settings (after saving and browsing patches). Behavior looks similar to what Tonka described before. Bye
  10. Hello, +1 for more options in the wavetable department. If I had the skill I'd do a wavetable only edition of the software, you can call me a wavetable-aholic :) Cheers
  11. I don't know almost nothing about programming but maybe these two files can help: seq_scale.c seq_scale.h

    Nice! I like it.
  13. About one year ago I got all my stuff together and built my first MBSID. Being always fond of the SID sound and features it was a dream come true. Sweet arpeggios, tables, a wonderful pulse wave... you know. All at my disposal in an open environment so I could realize it in a portable manner and sync to MIDI signals, wow! Couldn't wish more, thanks TK and thanks SmashTV, Twin-X and all the people in this forum whose enthusiasm and ideas helped me a lot. Er Mangaver
  14. After one year of usage I can say that overall I'm satisfied with my variant, easy to carry around and the sound is clean and bright but there are some design flaws. The idea of cutting one side of the HDD enclosure and bend it is nice looking to me and saved me from a lot of screws, it's the elastic force that keeps the all thing together and as long as it does it well if I want to do some upgrades or repair I have to carefully take the all thing apart. The buttons come up too much from the shell, the idea was to cover them and the LCD with an holed piece of plexiglas. I have already prepared a plexi saved from an old radio but it's too thick so I'll try to dig a small conic indent around each button's hole. Air flow inside the box isn't that great, it's crowded and I'd like to keep the 8580s cooler, I'm thinking to upgrade these wood side panels with an iron mesh or something similar. Thanks lucem
  15. Thanks Antix, thanks Hawkeye. Bye :-)
  16. On the left side there are the four screws to fix the core PCB (actually only three in the pic), then the screws for the SID1 PCB and next, the last four on the right side, are for the SID2 PCB (only two in the pic). The purpose of the two lower screws (only one installed) is to fix the voltage regulators to the aluminium shell. The shell is indeed both an electrical ground and an heat dissipation help in this case. Also for the heat problem I've done those small holes along the edges of the box but I'm afraid they aren't really enough.
