Hi everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve completed the engineering of a brand-new MB6582-inspired synthesizer, designed entirely from the ground up. While fully compatible with the classic Midibox Midibox SIDV2 architecture, this new design focuses on modern manufacturing, clean layout, and improved reliability. The name - "PHL8580" What’s New? Premium factory-made ENIG front panel PCB 4 PIC cores inside, maintaining MB6582-style operation All PCBs, including the front panel, PCB factory manufactured Support for ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, and original 6581 / 6582 / 8580 chips Clean, modern internal design with easy assembly Due to licensing, production and sales is currently limited to 10 units, therefore I will be offering 9 units for sale (I'll save one for myself). I am offering it here. The price is well below other available MB6582 assemblies on the market, without the SIDs its only 420 EUR, delivery from the EU: Actually, I want to ask the founders and core developers to broaden the production. What am I offering? As I see no major updates over few years, I want to add new fresh air to the development and so - If I receive permission to manufacture these synthesizers without listed limitations, I will: Developing and improving the software/electronics side of the project free of charge Donating financially wherever the original authors request Releasing the PCB sources for the new-engineered MB6582-compatible synths, as well as for my sammichSID and sammichFM clones, so anyone can build these legendary projects themselves. I will release everything including frontpanels, CAD files and so on - so everyone can assemble the devices at home. Creating a next-generation MB6582 on MIOS32, running on an STM32 core - a modern evolution of the classic design I will try to record some videos and publish on YouTube soon.

Hello everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve engineered a brand-new MB6582-style synthesizer, deeply inspired by the original Midibox MB6582 but redesigned completely from scratch for improved reliability, easier assembly, and modern component availability. Key new features: Premium ENIG front panel PCB - durable, professional finish 4 PIC cores onboard - full MB6582-compatible architecture Factory-manufactured PCB set, including the front panel Supports ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, or original 6581/6582/8580 chips Clean internal layout, solid build, and high-quality components Prices: Base unit: 420 EUR + shipping With Kung Fu SID set: 499 EUR ArmSID pricing available upon request. Availability: The license allows producing 10 units, so I’m offering 9 units for sale. 1 unit is in stock right now Additional units can be assembled in 3-4 weeks If I receive permission to sell more broadly, I plan to lower the price and release all design files as open source I will make a separate thread in Latest News or somewhere else Photos PCBs and components:

Hi can someone show me a photograph of a completed v4 core board? I'm having trouble working out where the bridges go. Thanks.

Hi I am planning to build my 2cnd core after getting as far as getting the lcd to do a line of black squares on my 1st core but send no informstion to mios studio even though I successfully flashed the bootloader with p1818 software on a windows 98 pc with mphp burner, I suspect there is a soldering fault on my core so I am building another module and buying a pre programmed pic from either smash tv or the guy who has taken over from mikes electronic seite, just a question about the z5u-2.5 100n capacitor there were some variations on the model number in the reichelt online part list so I bought the 50 volt version, what is right? The 50 volt or 100 volt version? Also regarding B80C800RUND rectifier, this was unavailable on reichelt website, what are the specs of this rectifier so I can order on ebay? Also if I can't get a pre-programmed pic would any of you guys be able to program it for me if I sent you one? Many Thanks Alistair.

Hi I'm having trouble getting mios studio to execute on ubuntu mate 16.04.6 LTS it asks for libcurl.so.4 ,says it's missing version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' but I checked on synaptic package manager and libcurl3 provides that library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ it also reports: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ./MIOS_Studio) Any ideas how i can get mios studio working so i can download the necessary hex file via midi to the core? thanks.

What are the ribbon cable connectors called on raechelt store that connect the modules i need the catalougue number thanks.
