Put keys into the MIDIbox?

No, I mean not a midi keybord, I mean how to put in keys in the midibox, not per midi connector. (sorry for bad English)

Ah you mean, having your own Keys/Keyboard built into the midibox right?

It seems you must use a DIN module for the keys, and some custom code also.

This guy here has made 2 Midibox sids, with keys:

Yes, I want to have my own keyboard in the MIDIbox. But it's to difficult for me and it's in English, too. :(

EDIT: And where can I get keys? I don't want to use keys from a toy keyboard.

If you have a look at the 2nd link in my first post, the guy uses an M-audio Oxygen Keyboard in that one.

The other thing you need to work out is how to merge MIDI Out of the keyboard with other MIDI Out (i.e. from sequencer, PC) into the MB-SID MIDI In.

So you may need another Core, or at the very least, an IIC_MIDI module to connect MIDI keyboard, and then modify the MB-SID application to accept MIDI In from the IIC_MIDI's MIDI In.

I'm going to buy a cheap midi keyboard put the hardware out and connect it with a GM5 MIDI Module to the Core.

a GM5 is not suitable here (that's a midi->usb interface only for connection to a computer). You could buy a cheap real(!) midi keyboard (i.e. not one of these "midi" keyboards they sell nowadays that has only an USB connection) and connect the midi out (internally) to the core.

The 6581 i got from ebay. On the bottom of the chip stands KOREA AH111559 3. Is this a fake?

SIDs were manufactured in various places all over the world, so you can't tell anything from that info.

This midi keyboard has a midi out connector and I want to connect this intern to the midi module (this I meant). And I can't use the GM5 module?

question is for what? As I understood your question you want to use the keyboard to play the MBSID, right? for that you only need to connect the keyboard's midi out to the mbsid's midi in. The gm5 is just a PC midi interface like e.g. a MidiSport Uno etc., you don't need it to play the MBSID from a keyboard.

If you want to have an additional PC connection via the gm5, you'll need to think about midi mergers etc.

Ah. So the core has midi and i need no module?

exactly.

The MBHP Core Module is the heart and brain of every MIDIbox. It holds the PIC microcontroller which runs MIOS and your MIDIbox application. It handles MIDI communication, it drives an LCD (or two), and it connects to all the other modules.
