grexA_178 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, is it possible to use some Atmega8 or Atmega168 instead of SID ? I think that I saw it here somewhere around midibox, but I cant find it now. Will it be critical for the MIDIbox SID V2 to use more "emulated" atmegas instead of SIDs? Thanks for the links and answers... and sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, is it possible to use some Atmega8 or Atmega168 instead of SID ? I think that I saw it here somewhere around midibox, but I cant find it now. See my SwinSID review. Swinkels has released the source code, so that it can be ported to other derivatives. Will it be critical for the MIDIbox SID V2 to use more "emulated" atmegas instead of SIDs? A fully stuffed MBSID V2 (with 4 PIC cores) can control 4 Atmega based SwinSIDs = 8 emulated SIDs = 24 SID voices. I'm already working on MBSID V3 which uses a STM32 derivative instead of PIC. With this microcontroller the number of SIDs isn't really limited anymore, it's only a question of memory consumption and update frequency. A STM32 can even emulate SIDs in parallel (see nILS' recent postings), so that no Atmega based "companion chip" is required. Best Regards, Thorsten.

crisp Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Just for Information, new SwinSID Firmware is out (ATMEGA 8515) http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/board65-neue-hardware/board288-sid-co/board294-swinsid/33292-swinsid-firmware-updates/#post406561 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
