Guest Shahin Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 I'm trying to get Step A going for the Midibox SID.I think I loaded the MIOS okay. After programming, my LCD read "MIOS 1.4" and then "READY.".I then changed by buffer size in MIDI-OX and tried sending the SID v1.5b to the box (I am using an pic18F).It took about ten minutes to program and all I get on my display screen is the following:P 1 C 1 1---<empty>Any hints?Thanks
Rowan Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 HiThe PIC is ready to rock! P 1 C 1 1---<empty> This is the defult display when MIOS runs the SID app. Try using jsynth to load a patch in to the PIC. If all goes well it should display the patch name where "<empty>" is on the LCD. You can also send MIDI programe change to the core. This should change the "P 1" value (ie send programe change 5 and the LCD should display "P 5"). With jsynth you can also change the MIDI channel and device ID ("C 1 1---"). "C" = midi channel number, and "1---" is the device ID for each SID if you are using a multi SID setup.10 minutes is a VERY long time to load the SID app into the PIC. Mine takes about 20 sec. Go thru all the instructions regading using MIDI-Ox word for word, This should cut the upload time to less then 30 sec.Best of luckRowan
Guest Shahin Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Thanks Rowan! I still have some more questions, though.1) With only a MIDI keyboard connected the MBSID, should I be able to edit SID parameters? I see the P 1 C 1 1-- screen but can't get to the parameter menu. Perhaps my DINx1 is not working?2) Without a bankstick, how do I download a single patch to the MBSID with Jsynth? How is everything connected if I want to use a MIDI keyboard to play notes but control parameters in realtime with Jsynth?Thanks for the help - I'm new to MIDI.
Guest Shahin Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 Ah ha! There was a problem with the DINx1 - an unsoldered clock connection.I think I'll be fine from here.Thanks
