TK. Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 You need some more inspirations for the case of your upcoming MIDIbox SID? How about this construction, made by an electronic newbie with a lot of help from Julien Voirin! :)Very well done! :)poumtag wrote:Here's my stereosid, it was firstly a mono 6581 v1.7control surface A, buildt by julienvoirin (selling itwas a good choice, Julien, I'd probably never havestarted the project by myself because of my ignorancein electronics...).This unit is now a stereo sid v.2 (6582A + 8580R5),control surface C (a few things weren't used: playbutton, volume on the modulation matrix,...).The design was created with adobe illustrator thenprinted on vinyl sticker, box is a Retex#5, PCBs arefrom SmashTV, and knobs are from ALBS (thank youGoblinz !). The work cost me roughly 350€, butbecause I'm a beginner I burnt a few things...This is far from perfect: the inside is full ofcables, the printed sticker is 1mm much longer thanthe drilled surface, knobs aren't as close of thesurface as I wanted, ... but it works !Many thanks to TK and all the contributers for sharingtheir knowledge, I've learned a lot thanks to you.Very big special thank to julienvoirin who has been anincredible hotliner who explained me everything with alot of patience (you even taught me that a resistordoesn't have any polarity...) !I wanted a new toy to renew my set, I'm now like achild with this gear !I cannot contribute to electronic knowledge, but I'dbe happy to help anybody on design (regardless of the"toy style").thanks again to all the people who make this projectaccessible to newbies.poumtaq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I like the "toy style", and the panel artwork came out looking really nice!Would you mind telling us about the sticker vinyl you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta_Frost Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Wow thats a beauty! Where'd you get the case? I really like the top part with the LCD! I might pattern mine after yours! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalScam Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I really like this one a lot! There are many here who use this equipment professionally, I, unfortunately am not one. I build simply for the joy of the build and if I can make some music with these things so much the better. That being said, I believe you can get no better compliment than to say it looks like a toy because we sure do enjoy playing with them! It remind me of those 300 in 1 Electronic Experimenter's Labs so many of us had when we were kids. Great Job! and have LOTS of fun with it!RoyalScam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 It's like Fisher-Price design, only not a toy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/tilted/ Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 That is fantastic! It's almost got an arcade vibe to it.It looks like something you could play Moon Patrol on!Nice one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julienvoirin Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Super toy !! Et super boulot, je suis bien content que ma boite marron se soit muée en une sucette multicolore ;)Congrats !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 That is fantastic! It's almost got an arcade vibe to it.I was thinking the exact same.The colours reminded me of the project mame cabinet for some reason:And i think the font used is very arcade also.

poumtaq Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 thanks a lot for the comments :) I'm glad you like the arcade style, however it's a shame that such a big box only hosts 2 sids... perhaps it'll become a 4xstereo if I find patience enough to re-open it (is a v.3 planned ? ::))...to stryd_one:the vinyl sticker comes from a professional printer, but I don't know more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
