Any SSM 2044 boards left?

Hey thank's for the great responses... I was just wondering that's all. :thumbsup: A speech / formant update is far in the future i guess. I think I'll go with the "Das Boot" sounding Speakjet: Thank's Suicide Sushi

Hello Midiboxers. I build a MB6582 almost a year ago, and I absolutely love it. I use it alle the time when recording. I was wondering; on the web I discovered that speech synth software was produced for the C64 during the early 80s (SAM etc.). Is there a way to add speech synth capabilities to the Midibox SID? (Or maybe it could be a part of a future upgrade) That would be very very cool... :thumbsup: Thank's again to TK and all you guys for making my MB6582 possible. I love it to bits... :D Suicide Sushi

For other (SID nerds) interested in gated sounds, â€trancegate†is mentioned in the wavetable sound tutorial. Now I really need to understand how to work with wavetables. :smile:

Hey TK. I will dig into the world of Wave Tables. Thank's :thumbsup: Suicide Sushi

Hello everyone. I'm trying to do some new patches for my MB6582 (and for you guys if they end up being good enough). What I really want to do is some gated sounds/pads (ie. trancegated). How would you program that? I was thinking about using the LFO's on the volume parameter. But I'm not interested in simple 8/8 gated sounds. So maybe I should use several LFO's? I know there is a "factory preset" sound that has a complex gated rhythm. So it must be possible. Any pointers? :thumbsup: Thanks Suicide Sushi

ooohhhh... I didn't realise it included a drum editor as well... That is wicked!. Thank's... :smile:

Allright. Thank's! :thumbsup:

Okay. Thank's. I just recieved an old SSM2044 chip from ebay as a backup for my KORG Mono/poly, and I have a finished midibox. So I was wondering if it was worth a try. :tongue: But then I would need two SSM2044's to get that gritty stereo SID sound. :thumbsup: Would you then control the SSM2044 from the MB6582's control panel? Does the SID generate the envelope for the filters? It sounds pretty exciting.

[n00b question] :unsure: How would you control the SSM2044 filters? Is it easy to connect to the rest of the Midibox?

Hello everyone. Firstly, I really really enjoy my MB6582 a lot. I've used it a lot in the studio, and it seems to fit sonically in almost everything I do. I really really like the sound of the Midibox SID drummachine, but it's a bit "hard" to program. Is there a piece of software for programming the Midibox SID's drum engine via midi? It would be a really nice feature. Jeppe / Copenhagen

uh... okay. So the SID's would still generate a lot of heat even without the 12v/9v? I think I'll remove the SIDs and then apply some heatsink to the remaining 2 SIDS. By the way I just had my first jam with the MB6582 drum machine - and it is completely awesome! I love it so much...

Sweet. Thank's guys!

Hello everyone. So i finished my MB6582 and I really love it. I was in the studio recording with it some time ago and the engineer told me that he thought I could reduce a lot of the background noise by unplugging the fan. I had the synth open due to som SID stuffing, and I tested it out. The engineer was right. The background noise (sounded LFO'ish) completely dissapeared and I could now plug it into a PA without annoying everyone around. I then decided to unpower all the SID's except channel four (2*8580) and then unpluck the fan. I have 7 SID's stuffed into my MB6582 and disconnected 5 of them by unplugging the power jumper (i never really used all the SID's at once). Is that safe? Will I damage anything by using my MB682 with all my SID's in it but with 5 of them disconnected from 12v (6581's) via power jumpers? Thank's! Suicide Sushi Love the MIDIBOX! EDIT: Can anyone point me in the right direction to the feedback potentiometer info? I need to know what kind of pot (linear v logarithmic and resistance) i need? Thank's!

Are there any SID chips left?
