If it's not your interface or your OS, best thing to do is run through the Core midi troubleshooting guide. At least this will let us rule out the possibility that the problem lies in your core module.

That continous string of data is a midi feedback loop, the initial upload request from the core is looping around over and over as a result of you using the same in and out. Hook it back up the other way (where you were able to upload, but with errors, and try playing with settings like delay between midi messages, etc.. The issue is probably with your interface or operating system, MIOS and midibox sometimes don't play nice with certain versions of windows (64-bit and most versions of Vista)and they also don't get along with generic midi interfaces. I'm sure if you post your OS and midi interface someone else can chime in and help you track down the problem, but since you're able to upload most of the program I don't think it's your core that's the problem. You can also try the older version of MIOS studio, if you've had success with that in the past.

I too would like to find a patch where I could hold down one key and the wavetable would run through all the different voices and filters so I could test my sids. I can't tell if my filter sounds as it should.

I got the minimal control surface working and I've uploaded the default patches. I'm really impressed by the sounds and I can't wait to finish building the full control surface! I just wanted to say thanks to TK and everyone who made this possible. I realized today that this is a very complex sound engine and it does more than my XV-5080 or even many of the plugins I'm used to. You can do crazy modulation tricks like Massive, I'm totally blown away!

yeah, me too, what's the deal with "mbsid not responding" on windows 7? I too thought you needed those programs to make it work

Nevermind, I found it, but now I'm getting random values from AIN (I don't have an AIN module, but I did hooks pots up to J5, is this normal?

Hey guys, I built the minmal control surface last night and I need to reassign the pins on my DIN. I'm trying to follow the guide that's here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=changing_din_pins But the link for: http://www.ucapps.de/mios/ain64_din128_dout128_v2_0.zip does not work. Is there a more recent version of this app? Can someone please give me a working link or attach that file to this thread or something? Thanks!

Just kidding, I always thought it was funny how people make disgusting toxic drugs to put in their body out of other disgusting toxic household cleaning products... Anyways, I'm trying to see if I have enough laying around to build and LFO to get some nifty wobbles from the KORG NJM-2069 filter I am using. It has lin and log CV inputs so I know it's just a matter of modulation those CV's. I found a cool site that has schem and part list for many simple synth modules you can build: http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules there are a few different LFO modules that interest me, but this is probably the most simple: http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/psycho_lfo.html I don't have that IC laying around that he used, but while looking for it, I found two modulator chips (MC149BP) that I think could be used, I have attached the datasheet to this post, please have a look and tell me if I can use this IC. From the datasheet it looks like I would have a lot of flexibility with this chip. Thanks! BTW, I have two of these chips so if someone else wants to try this as well, I have one to spare! mc1496bp modulator.pdf

It's really cool of you to help with this man! I built the circuit on perf last night and I'm gonna dig out that DW-6000 today and try it out. Your version of the simple mono-filter setup was exactly what I suspected, but what was extremely helpful was the page you linked to that helped me figure out which capacitor to use before the input. PM me if you would like one of these filters. I've got a new question about building an LFO, I'm going to start a new thread for it in "design concepts"

Check out LC, it will more than suit your needs. You'll have to put forth some effort though, no one is going to contact you on twitter or facebook to offer help.

Hey guys, I recently did a bunch of mods to my Korg Poly 800 and I LOVE the filter. This filter is VERY dramatic sounding and the resonance kicks so much butt it will blow your speakers quite easily! We could totally control it from an AOUT, maybe even J5... it has 12/24 DB (2/4 pole) and it sounds really really good. I have a SID with good OSCs and a blown filter, so I'd love to use it in conjunction with one of these. I have a Korg DW 6000 with a few broken keys and I don't use it much so I'd like to reuse the filters. It has a total of 6 of these NJM 2069 filters in it. I will put the pinout for this chip below, if someone can help me realize the circuit needed to power this baby, I will send you one of these chips free of charge. here's a link to how awesome this thing sounds, and after the break, you will find the pinout for the chip: the mods I did: http://www.synthmod.net/korg/moog_slayer/ some sound examples: http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk/synthmod/POLYEX.html and the pinout: 1 Audio In GND (GND) 2 Mixer Signal 1 Level CV In 3 Mixer Signal 2 Level CV In 4 VCF Resonance CV In 5 VCF 12dB/oct Audio Out 6 VCF 24dB/oct Audio Out 7 VCA Signal In 8 VCA Level CV Log In 9 VCA Level CV Lin In 10 VCA Signal Out 11 Vss (GND) 12 -Vee (-5v) 13 VCF Cutoff CV Lin In 14 VCF Cutoff CV Log In 15 VCF cap C4 16 VCF cap C3 17 VCF cap C2 18 VCF cap C1 19 VCF Ext Audio In 20 Mixer Signal 2 In 21 Mixer Signal 1 In 22 +Vcc (+5v) here is a link to a page that has more info about the filter: http://www.sounddoctorin.com/synthtec/korg/njm2069.htm and attached to this post is a .pdf of the entire schematic for the poly 800 with some pinouts and other details so you can see the rest of the circuit that's used with this filter, I compiled this layout so it's very nice with actual photos and stuff, check it out! Thanks in advance for your interest, and again if anyone can help me design a circuit to use this filter, I'll hook you up with one or two of these chips! poly schematic for upload.pdf

The first two pins are ground and voltage, the next five are for the pots and the last three get tied to ground, I folloed the schematic provided by TK. However, I have not seen an example of anyone implementing this in their sidbox yet. Everything I've ssen uses encoders wired to DIN for knobs 1-5. attached is a picture of some different control surface layouts I'm working on. I plan to build the minimal design in the top left first since I only have one DIN and one DOUT on the way I still haven't found an answer to my question, I already read the things you linked to before i asked, and it seems the only way to assign the function of 1-5 is from the minimal control surface (which I don't have yet) but thanks for the input

Hello, I've built a core and SID module and everything is working fine. While I'm waiting for my DIN and DOUT kits to arrive I've hooked up five 10k pots to J5. I do not yet have a control surface built so I'm wondering if there is a way to assign these pots to control certain parameters by default (since I don't have a control surface to assign them with yet) I can't seem to find a string in the MAIN.asm that would allow this, am I missing something? I finally figured out how to build my custom .hex file, and I enabled pots on J5 by setting it to "1" but i can't find any entries that would allow me to specify what parameters they control. It looks like the idea was totally scrapped in favor of DIN encoders. Any tips please? TK?
