is it possible building just a drum engine on a 6581 chip?

It's a little bit confusing what are the options for building the MIDIbox SID. I don't want to build a huge project I just want to make some drum sounds with this 6581 chip that I have.

I've some experience hardware hacking, but none programming chips, so I think the MIDIbox requires some programming, is it super hard? Should I quit? Someone please help me!

IM guessing he'll have to upload the Drum engine app .hex file on its own intead of the full SID app?

Will that work?

No, the Drum engine is just one of the four engines in MIDIbox SID Synth V2, not a separate app. It even has a sequencer!

If you don't want to use the other engines, just ignore them...it's much easier than removing them from the code..

You could save patch #1 as a blank template with the drum engine enabled, so you don't have to switch everytime you turn on the device.

Cool, in that case so its a bit harsh to say everything he needs to know is on the site,

because that question has never been addressed before im pretty sure.

I remember flex wanting to do a bassline only MB Sid, but i think nils has to do a bit of coding to have that as a seperate app.
