I googled and identified the lower right one as the AS-4oh4 prototype version with zero polyphony ambience. and i said hit the head, not the foot :)

my brain processed that matter in a low priority background task for the last days... and my first outrage has been quite shifted... the point is, that we will never be able to control what is being sold on a private basis between the people out there... we may be angry and blame profitmakers, but it will be incredibly hard to stop them. and legal effort is never nice effort. heck... I guess it would even be quite difficult to shut down a chinese (no offense intended) manufacturer cloning TKs and Wilbas code and designs...

Ok, i really do not want to be in conflict with you guys, you have given me too much ;-). Just removed the youtube comment... but in my opinion this deal is bad and we need :super: to clean the world from evil :)

Wilba, wtf, why do you protect this guy - he charges more than double than its worth - in my eyes that is commercial intent, TK. wrote in the rules that he will deny overpriced sale requests and if this not overpriced, i don´t know what...

thx for the comment! if it does not start burning on me it shall be hacked if necessary :sorcerer: it does look awesome even when turned off... retro :hairy:

couldnt resist posting on youtube - mb the seller does not even know the intellectual property status...

update: ordered them yesterday evening via mercateo, they said 16 days delivery time and they arrived this afternoon *coming from the uk*! Time machine madness! :geek: Will report on the compatibility with the core32 soon...

thiz suckz

looks very nice! day of the tentacle rulez ;-). btw. you can get black allen counter sunk screws for the four corners cheaply from ebay for a few euros...

the whole album "groove control" rocks! thanks for bumping it, san4os. best regards!

fair enough, they will have to suffice then. Thanks, man!

kthxbai :) edit: within an hour Wilba sent me the scheme... better than sliced bread :), thx!

... considering a standard DIN module uses 4x74HC165 and provides "only" 32 ins (but ~90 are required) ... and a standard DOUT module uses 4x74HC595 and provides "only" 32 outs (but ~60 are required) The pdfs on ucapps.de gave me no clues, as "only" the standard pinning is mentioned, which is fine, but how would i realize dual color step leds for example? I guess the keywords are "button matrix" and "led matrix", pointers are very welcome... I found the respective matrix configurations in the wilba/mbseq_hw.v4 file, but don´t understand the associated necessary wiring yet... thank you very, very much! Peter

Hola, sorry for asking many questions... will try to return the favor with a seq v4 construction photo tutorial :) Is there ever going to be a chance to use more midi ins than the available two ins from the Core32? I ask, because I think it would be more than nice to have them - would not need to use an external MIDI merger which introduces latency... and existing users could just fully populate their IIC_MIDI modules... Question to TK. - is it "just" coding effort or is it technically impossible to use the additional four MIDI in ports of the up-to-four IIC_MIDI modules (just merging all inbound data by default would be totally fine). Thx a lot!

good luck on your journey, should you ever want to wander back to explored territory, you can have a look at this cs building photo tutorial, which also contains a full parts list and links to part sellers:

The "modulation matrix" chapter for the lead engine describes how each of the eight modulation paths can be configured (e.g. by multiplying two lfos). After you have a mod path set up, you can assign that path (which basically describes a modulation "waveform" over time) to pitch and pulse width of the three SID voices for each sid pair and filter and volume for each sid pair. Example: when a LED is lit in column 1 (Mod 1) and row 1 (Pitch of Voice 1) it basically says that the pitches of voice 1 of the stereo sid pair are modulated over time by the modulation path 1 which you have configured. Regarding the strange button behaviour, a greater mind is required to answer that question :-)

hb to nILS!

man, you are great *very happy*! looking forward to handing you over some beers in munich :-)

you can check the proper wiring of the matrix buttons by just pressing any horizontal matrix button (pitch, pulse width, filter, volume) -> a horizontal line should appear and by pressing any vertical button (modulation sources 1-8) -> a vertical line should appear. It should only switch to meter mode and back when you press the "mode" button left to the matrix. I would suggest taking it apart one more time and looking for accidential solder bridges, first visually, then tracing with a beeper. TK´s fine mbsid v2 handbook on ucapps.de should contain examples for using the matrix.

the vfds look great! thank you for the massive heatsink tip and good day to you as well, sir :)

congratz and well done. nice setup. what are you running on the gameboy?

* Check the lcd contrast poti on the baseboard, * jumper midi output on baseboard to pic 1 * start mios studio 2 * upload mbsid in the best case everything (including leds) works afterwards. If something does not work, you can use the librarian java program to get first sounds out of the baseboard (without cs attached)

i ordered a 8580 from him around 2 months ago and it arrived and worked flawlessly (took some time though, if I remember correctly).

Geht beim Anschließen des Backlights die anliegende 12V-Spannung runter? Mal mitm Voltmeter nachmessen... Ansonsten tausch mal kurz die Polarität der beiden Backlight-Pins, ist jedoch Dein Risiko, bei mir ist aber nix passiert...
