Random Generator

[pingosimon]

I have a MB-6582 stuffed with 8 SIDs. I can't figure out how to make the random patch generator (lead engine) apply to all the cores. It seems to only apply to Core 1, even when I have all 4 SID buttons selected.

It works at my side - which firmware version are you using?

And did you update the firmwares of all slaves as well? (Press MENU button during startup)

I'm using MIOS v 1.9g and MidiboxSID v 2.041

I was using Midibox SID v 2.037, but I just updated - same problem. I'm using the file setup_mb6582.hex (It's a MB6582 stuffed with 6581 SIDs)

I tried cloning the slaves by holding Menu at startup- same problem. Though, the cloning process does seem very fast. My jumper at J11 is bridging the pins to make Core1 the master, like it should be.

All else seems fine, I just can't get the random generator to work on more than one core simultaneously. I can get it to work on each core individually.

Ok, now I understand your initial posting.

It isn't the problem that random patches can't be sent to the slave cores, but that they are only sent to the first selected core.

Which means for example, that if SID2 and SID3 are selected, the patch will only be sent to SID2

From programmer's perspective this makes a difference. ;)

ah, I see. So there's no way to quickly get the same random patch to all 4 cores?
