Rave-TZ

Anyone able to get this working in Windows x64? Nothing pops-up in my tray.

My mixer is out of inputs :p I have things I need to add, but my 8 channel MIDIBOX is eating most of the available space. What is the best approach to get a clean stereo output from all 8 SID chips?

Hah! I just finished mine too! These are friggen sweet devices!

Looking forward to having a battle with my Sid Station :) End of line

Got mine in today. Looks fantastic! Thanks a ton!

I received mine today! Friggen great work!

Great! I really had no idea what to charge and this thread should sort it out nicely. This model was never used, but stored away. It was the only C64 I got labeled "New". Wish the previous owner had stored it better though ;). I'll mark it down.

I only have ONE of these. They are very difficult to come by. The unit is in perfect working order with yellowing on the keyboard. The case has no cracks or damage. The 8580 was tested with a MSSIAH cart and sounds fantastic! Out of all the C64s on the site, this one is the best one I own, even from my personal collection. You can find it on my Rave-TZ chiptune store $64 + $10 shipping

PM sent :frantics:

The device doesn't have a control surface. That being said, I issued a "Panic" midi signal that basically stops a midi activity to the device. Cleared it up and never happened again.

Any left? I'll take pretty much anything for my MB-6582 Control Surface in a PT-10 case as long as it works.

Thought I had the core 2-4 locking 5 seconds after boot issue fixed after I flashed each one with MB-6582 hex. But the issue comes back after a power cycle. Any ideas?

I finished up my MB-6582 base and now need to assemble the control surface. Only problem is, I'm not sure where to get the case from. I've seen various conflicting data that may or may no be outdated information. I have the display, LEDs, and the knobs, just need the case and panel. Pic of case If I can just get the panel, that would suffice in a pinch.

When using my MB-6582 it locked after a few seconds from boot. I can get a few notes in from my midi sources, but then the note gets stuck. The solution: Reflash setup_mb6582.hex using MIOS Studio 2.1 (both found here: My link) Why it happened? I flashed the PIC chips (aka Cores) when my chips (74HC165 and 74HC595)where in the wrong place. I'm reporting this in case anyone else has this issue. Also, if this problem still persists. Issue a "Panic" MIDI command. Basically kills all notes. I used Renoise to do this. I believe the latest version issues a panic when you press the stop button now. My version was older and still had the "Panic" button.

issue solved, some 595s(74HC595) where mixed up where the 165s(74HC165) go. Once sorted everything works.

6581s work on slots 7 and 8. Test tone works on all 8 slots without sids and with on 7 / 8. Removing all cores but 1 produces no difference. Swapped 585s and caps with core 4 to 1, no effect, tried another c64 psu, no go. Checked for bridges, nothing. Voltage on cores check out. mbsid ver 1.9g updated, cores in correct order

Core 4 works great, its just 1-3

Still no notes. Im using the virtual keyboard in MIOS Studio. Ch1 produces notes on sid 7,8 before I pulled them. Retested voltage, test tones. All check out. Can I get a quick bullet point procedure list on uploading? I've uploade MIOS v1.9g for PIC 18F4685 to core 1 (although I believe the cores already had this due to the sticker on them saying "BSL V1.2b MIOS v1.9g") I then uploaded setup_mb6582.hex to each core. The cores are installed in the correct device id order (0-3) Is there any other apps I could test core 1 with? Maybe an asid player? Kinda blind without a control surface.

All sid sockets test tone perfectly (1-8) Ouch, my ears.

Am I missing an important Master/Slave core setup procedure or something?

MIOS Studio has a difficult time connecting to core 1 when the 8580 is connected. I made sure to set to 9v. When I removed all the SID chips the core was easy to connect to. I only get the high pitch when I upload setup-mb6582.hex. This is really confusing me.

Voltages all check out. Will swap the 6581s with my 8580 here in a sec

I have 8 SIDs installed, went with option B for the PSU since I'm using a C64 power supply. SIDs 1-6 are 6581s and its set to 12v while 7 and 8 are set to 9v for the 8580s. I hear a quiet high pitch tone with SIDs 1-4 but no tones from MIDI thru the SID. SIDs 5, 6 no tone, no sound. 7 and 8 work fine. SIDs 1-6 get very warm, almost hot to touch. 7 and 8 just stay warm, not hot (guessing due to 9v VS 12v). All cores are responding to MIOS Studio. Any ideas what I can try? Very new to this.

Me too. Any more?

If I recall, the MB6852 uses 4x20. Got any of those?
