Sobering up is not an option. 2 more from Bavaria! Cheers and have a great Xmas, everybody! :-)

+2, lets go, cool topic! :-)

Yes! Very nice playing, and a cool club! :-) Many greets! Peter

The 8580s, when correctly provided with 9V, can live without heatsink (and probably already did so for decades! :smile:) You can fit one, nevertheless (i´ve got a few pictures, if you are interested). With heatsink, mine get warm, not hot, i´d say around 40-50° celsius or so. Many greets! Peter

Many thanks for your work! The track instrument page (with associated instrument names) sounds awesome! I always get confused with MIDI ports and channels alone! :twitch: Also the sync mute/unmuting overrides are a great idea! :smile: Many greets! Peter

It is a really nice 8-bit-style case! Good idea with those flat-top LEDs, i´ve seen them somewhere before! :-D Many greets, Peter

Hi Christian, Mouser ist versandkostenfrei ab 75€, wenn Du niemanden findest, könntest Du auch ein paar weitere STM32F4 Module und die dazugehörigen SD-Reader-Module auf Lager legen, die brauchst Du sicher irgendwann! ;-) Ciao und viele Grüße, Peter

You´re welcome! Step 8 contains two links to suitable encoders. The "pushable" 12mm encoders from Alps do need pinbending, though. It will fit with a bit of patience, but of course, 16mm encoders are easier to install. Am currently building a MIDIbox NG with these 12mm encoders and they work really well, also in 16mm slots, so nothing too much to worry about!

Thx, J! :D Many greets from cloudy Germany! Peter

Hehe, thanks Antonio, you´re right! It seems, that they kidnapped her instead of eating her! :-D Have a great weekend! Peter

Hi Antonio, thank you! :D Officially, it was a fearless alien UFO pilot, who gave me the video footage! :alien: Hehe! Many greets, hope you´re doing well! Bye, Peter

Dreaming of clouds... :-) http://youtu.be/qqfijOO_4S0 featuring a fearless UFO alien pilot, a MIDIbox SEQ, an Alesis Andromeda, and a Moog LP :-) Hope you like it, thanks for watching and listening! Peter

Supersaw ftw! :-) Great job! Many greets, Peter

Thanks, orange! :D Many greets, Peter

Hola, it has been a while, but the bad autumn weather finally did hit southern Germany baaaadly - some time to be spent at the synths :smile: This one is rather SID oriented, using only a single Lead Engine of the MB6582 (and a few other synths, but only as a backfill! :smile:). Hope you like it! Thanks for watching and listening! Peter

All is well, then :-) If you have shipping trouble to Belarus, maybe someone from Europe can help you out... once the boards are available again! :-) Many greets! Peter

Hola, good work! And thanks for posting it here! :-) Many greets, Peter

Understood - i just facebook messaged him asking for a status update. Please kindly note, that his service is a volunarily one, where he earns next-to-nothing - so... stay calm :) Anyways, have a great day! Bye, Peter

Yes, you can get it, need some patience atm :-) I hope it will be listed in the MIDIbox shop again, soon! Many greets, Peter

Lookin´ very nice, man! :-) Especially the linear regs are good for AOUT stuff - methinks using switchers (like in those commonly available "open frame psus") are not top notch for feeding into modular stuff... Many greets, Peter

Give him some time - Tim/SmashTV has been very busy last time i talked to him... In case you want to go hardcore DIY, you can always build the SEQ frontpanel on veroboard! :-) But of course, I also hope, that the CS PCB is stocked in his shop again, soon. Many greets, Peter

Thx for your feedback, both of you! Haven´t seem them yet, but I was always harvesting for 8580s (new C64 model). Yup, bad karma! :-) Many greets, Peter

You can run the baseboard with only a single PIC and two SIDs installed- the other PICs will be auto-detected, but won´t hurt, if they are not in there. It is like the modular MBSID with only one Core8 and two MBSID modules. No need to program anything, the precompiled .hex on the first core should work fine. On the MB6582 baseboard, you should solder in all other passive components like chip sockets, resistors, caps, but they are cheap, if you buy them from china, although i would recommend SmashTVs excellently packed parts kit. But if cost is an issue, go the other way! And yes, you can go without frontpanel/control surface board, the PT10 case and the expensive aluminum panel at first. There are patch editors for the MBSID and it even makes sense to learn all features in a "big" GUI first. You can use a Commodore PSU, as most often you have one lying around when harvesting (ohhh that bad karma! :-)) from old C64s. But it would be recommend to build a better PSU later on, as the C64 PSUs can be unreliable (and there have been reports of fried SIDs which is not nice, but don´t worry too much!). You´ll need a supply with stabilized 5V=/around 2A and 9V~ around 1A. Many greets, Peter

Hola! Recommend to go for a MB6582 - at the beginning you can fit it with only a single pair of SIDs, and a single PIC - it will work like this and it has room to grow - and won´t be much more expensive than the modular approach with that minimal configuration. It is a very nice way to to get into MBSID land, as you can reuse a C64 power brick and have everything on a single baseboard without cable spaghetti - you can control it at first without frontpanel from your PC. And later on build a nice panel with all the cool "hands on" features - so my vote is for the MB6582, it gives you a lot of options! :-) Many greets, Peter
