Just really excited about this one and wanted to thank every one for the amazing amount of information on these forums. After many many problems I finally was able to upload the Midibox SID app and get sound out of my 6582!! The last problem I faced was a non functioning octocoupler that wasn't sending the midi in signal to the core chip. Took me a while to figure that one out but I just got the replacement chips in the mail yesterday, plugged a new one in and everything worked! First time I turned it on I got a horrible noise. Turns out I had my audio out backwards. Fixed that and then turned it on again... the most beautiful synth lead sound I've ever heard.

Now on to making my control surface and faceplate, I'll post pictures of my progress so far later tonight!

UPDATE: photos of my Midisid in progress

Congratulations, getting the first sounds gives a great feeling of relief and accomplishment! I enjoyed the same feeling yesterday when I got sound after successfully completing the first phase of my V2 upgrade!

Enjoy your SID!  8)
