Sammich stupid MIDI problem *FIXED*

[joho]

Okay, i cant get the MIDI out to really do anything...i cant change any text on the LCD and if i try to upload the .hex file (which i know i cant due to some stupid MIDI error)

I get

timestamp [unknown] | SysEx: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 02 0C 00 00 20 15 7B 63 3F 04 6B 5E 1B 78 2B 1D 71 5F 42 69 6F 0D 7C 1A 2E 78 6F 60 00 77 47 1E 05 2F 3C 39 70 2D 3B 63 4F 02 0B 5E 1C 78 11 7D 71 67 41 37 6F 0E 3C 01 5E 78 73 60 0B 77 47 1E 00 47 3C 39 70 05 3B 63 4F 04 03 5E 1A 78 3A 3D 71 57 43 6F 6F 0D 3C 1F 3E 78 6B 60 1A 77 47 1E 01 4F 3C 39 70 54 3B 63 2F 05 4F 5E 1A 78 3F 1D 71 57 40 24 00 00 00 02 20 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 01 10 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 48 00 00 00 04 40 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 1F 7F 7B 59 09 78 00 22 48 4F 40 02 3C 44 04 00 1C 24 20 10 01 5E 22 01 20 0D 52 10 0C 00 6B 11 00 70 06 49 08 00 00 33 48 4F 40 03 14 44 7C 00 18 64 27 60 01 42 22 3E 00 0B 72 13 70 00 7C 11 1F 00 07 71 09 78 00 00 08 5F 40 00 08 45 7C 00 14 24 28 28 00 56 24 42 20 05 72 24 16 00 44 11 5F 00 02 41 0F 78 00 02 08 7F 40 00 58 47 7C 00 13 04 3F 60 01 36 23 7E 00 0D 42 1F 70 00 1A 12 1F 00 02 19 11 78 00 17 49 0F 40 01 64 49 7C 00 0E 64 48 0B F7

That reminds me of the problem I just had with Windows 7 and my M-Audio Delta 1010LT... it was echoing MIDI In to MIDI Out.

On startup, a MIDIbox will output an "upload request" on MIDI Out.

F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7

If you only had the bootstrap loader, you get this sent every 2 seconds.

If you have MIOS installed, you only get this once.

Start with disconnecting sammichSID's MIDI In to your PC's MIDI Out.

Only have sammichSID's MIDI Out connected to your PC's MIDI In.

Check you have your MIDI Routing correctly configured (like the build guide shows).

Open up both MIDI In and MIDI Out windows in MIOS Studio.

Power on sammichSID.

Do you get the upload request?

If it is appearing in both windows, then that's not sammichSID at fault, that's your MIOS Studio/MIDI setup echoing MIDI In to MIDI Out.

I'm assuming you got to the point of having the "READY." showing on the LCD. If so:

Disconnect sammichSID MIDI Out to your PIC's MIDI In.

Only have sammichSID's MIDI In connected to your PC's MIDI Out.

Open the LCD Debug window and send some LCD commands. This SHOULD work if the sammichSID's MIDI In is working. You will see the command being sent in the MIDI Out window and SHOULD NOT see it in the MIDI In window.

Run these tests first and report your results... then we can work out where the problem is (MIDI interface, MIOS Studio setup, sammichSID hardware, etc).

Also report back with your PC setup (OS, MIDI interface, etc.)

Disconnected the IN on the SID

IN

00000002516853 ms | SysEx: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7

OUT

00000002516853 ms | SysEx: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7

disconnect the out on the SID

nothing

WOO HOO!!! one of my MIDI ports is jacked...so i simply swithed to another...and BAM!!!

WOOT WOOT WOOT!

[Wilba]

I guess that means problem solved?

[joho]

okay, i got the ol box to boot and am ready to load some banks into it...i hate to sound like an idiot but i'm at a loss here.

Could someone hold my hand and tell me what i need to download and from where

I'm using OSX 10.6

thanks~

[joho]

okay, i'm going to use MIOSstudio to load in the .syx file...and i get a missing hexadecimal error....should i be wearing a helmet?

help!

Don't use MIOS Studio for uploading patches, use the patch editor.

If you want, you can try uploading the default patches into the Banksticks now.

The Java-based patch editor and librarian can be found here:

http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_ed.html

The default patches are found in the MIDIbox SID Synth release package (they are in the “presets”

folder).

WOOT WOOT

Blue LEDs are evil! They will burn your retinae!

Having said that... your sammichSID looks really cool! Congratulations!
