think about 6582 or adding controller to my sammich!

[florian]

ok now it's the time.

i will build a 6582.

will order pcb this weekend, but need some advice before.

i don't have any psu...

what's the best thing to do??? option a, and buying c 64 psu on the bay ( ANY c 64 psu???) ( only use of 8580 and 6582)

i don't know what will be the more rentable take: take the base pcb kit, or order it to reichelt (is there rare parts, all on reichelt or wil i have to multiply suppliers???)

:frantics: what the other things appart from pcb and kit i would better take from smash???? thanks!!!

hum more and more i am thinking more and more i don't know what to do...

Is this possible to build a mb 6582 control surface and connect it to the sammichSID instead of the minimal controller of the sammich??? I am a bit afraid by the total cost of a 6582.... ( i have to cut my music money "loss"....and if it is possible, i will certainly do my own panel....)

I also see the "twin sid" project which is for me a mb 6582 on a core and two sid, lacking the mod matrix.... Seem pretty cool too to me ... I think i would love it.... what's your thought???

Apart from that i have read the build guide of the 6582, but pass on that: It's 16 pin or 10 pins ribbon cable you'll need for it?? thanks for your answer....

I am a midibox and electronic newbee, i have recently build sammichFM and sid... Resale today the fm builded for price of the kit at a german guy ( substractive synthese is enough for me... ), but definitely love the sound of the sid... But the sammich frustrate me by his control surface.. Sort of love/hate relationship... It's not that i need more sid, but i need more knobs...... My favorite engines for instances are lead and bass ( i have an elektron md, from which i sequence the sammich , and it will do the drum well)..., and more easy patching is important for me ( It's sure tommorow i will do a template for the lead engine for my novation , as it assume cc for many things, but i love the bassline mode the most , and no cc for this one,.... Seem to be hell to program a template for it. ( ok i know you wait i am ready to past time to learn, but my time is limited,(as your own i know) and don't want to learn how to nrpn and such obscure things (for me) in hex works.... sorry i promise it is not an injury... ) I really don't want to rely on a computer, and nowadays the editor don't run on my osx lion....)

So know i am more thinking to "expand" my sammich... Is this possible with an mb 6582 CS??? ( of course i am not a programmer and i am not able to code...)

thanks for your answers....

Hi,

go for the MB6582, it is a nice machine. The control surface is much more fun, compared to the sammichSID. I also started with the sammichSID in order to get some more practise and experience. There are very nice tutorials available here in the forum (e.g. the control surface by Hawkeye). So yes, try it !

Cheers

Thanks orange!

Regarding the PSU, you should follow orange_hands very nice guide for an integrated switcher/ac psu - easy to build, efficient and noise-free - or maybe follow Altitiudes nice on-board switcher approach, just do not use an original C64 PSU, it may burn your valuable SIDs if the old voltage regulator goes berzerk :)

Bye,

Peter

thanks for yours anwers! I have alredy read this great tutorial!!!

by the way it seems that not all panels have" corners holes" exact??? its more easy to build with them??? thanks!!

i´d recommend to order a panel with corner holes and some manga line art, but your mileage may vary :)
